Cambria, CA—The Special District Leadership Foundation (SDLF) awarded Cambria Community Services District the District Transparency Certificate of Excellence in recognition of its outstanding efforts to promote transparency and good governance.   

“This award is a testament to Cambria Community Services District's commitment to open government,” said Matthew McElhenie, General Manager. “Our staff is to be commended for their contributions to empowering the public with information and facilitating engagement and oversight.” To receive the award, Cambria Community Services District demonstrated the completion of essential governance transparency requirements, including conducting ethics training for all board members, properly conducting open and public meetings, and filing financial transactions and compensation reports to the State Controller in a timely manner.

SDLF is an independent, non-profit organization formed to promote good governance and best practices among California’s special districts through certification, accreditation, and other recognition programs.

Special districts are independent public agencies that deliver core local services to communities, such as Utility, wastewater treatment, fire protection, parks and recreation, healthcare, sanitation, mosquito abatement, ports, libraries, public cemeteries, and more. Districts are established by voters, and their funding is approved by voters to meet specific needs through focused service. They can be specially molded to serve large regions or small neighborhoods, depending on the need.
