AI Summary
This concurrent resolution proclaims the week of April 5, 2026, to April 11, 2026, as Special Districts Week, recognizing that special districts are local governmental entities created and funded by communities to provide specialized services and infrastructure, such as water, fire protection, and parks and recreation, with over 2,000 such districts currently serving millions of Californians. The resolution highlights the historical origins of special districts, dating back to the Wright Act of 1887, and their significant growth throughout the 20th century to meet increasing public service demands, emphasizing their diverse scope and local governance through elected or appointed boards, and their accountability to the public through transparency laws. It also acknowledges the role of the California Special Districts Association (CSDA) in promoting good governance and improved services, and ultimately, the Legislature's intent to promote democratic institutions, community-based services, local control, and public awareness of these essential local service providers.
