On Thursday, October 3, 2013, the District received notification from the Special District Leadership Foundation (SDLF) that the District has successfully completed the District Transparency Certificate of Excellence program. In order to receive this recognition, the District had to show proof of documents and training, in print and on the District's website as a means to be more transparent to the County and its residents. Attached is a letter sent by SDLF President David Aranda to congratulate the District on this accomplishment. The District was presented with a plaque at the Board of Trustee Governance Program in November, which is proudly displayed at the District office.
