AI Summary
This concurrent resolution proclaims the week of May 18-24, 2025, as Special Districts Week, recognizing the important role of special districts in California's local governance. Special districts are local governmental entities created and funded by residents to provide specialized services like water, sanitation, fire protection, parks, healthcare, and infrastructure. Emerging historically from needs like agricultural water access and public health, these districts now number over 2,000 and serve diverse communities across California. The resolution highlights how special districts are locally governed through elected or appointed boards, are subject to transparency laws, and are formed or dissolved through a methodical local process overseen by local agency formation commissions. By designating this week, the California Legislature aims to promote awareness and understanding of these community-based service providers, emphasizing their importance in supporting democratic institutions, local control, and self-determination while encouraging civic engagement among Californians.
