In this District’s Weekly Press: In the state of California, community services districts (CSDs) are feeling the effects of COVID-19 but unlike other local government entities, they were left out of coronavirus relief packages. The West Valley Water District is partnering with the nonprofit Children’s Fund to distribute more than 15,000 hand sanitizers, face masks and face shields to area nonprofits during a drive-up event. Sacramento's Municipal Utility District is offering tips and relief to customers who are dealing with rising electricity bills during the ongoing impacts of the pandemic. A parking lot, shade structure and bathroom at the main Thousand Oaks dog park are among projects that have made their way to the short list of the Conejo Recreation and Park District capital improvement budget.

In the state of California, community services districts (CSDs) are feeling the effects of COVID-19 but unlike other local government entities, they were left out of coronavirus relief packages. And that’s why Central Coast CSDs are submitting letters of support for federal legislation that would make them eligible for future relief funds. House Resolution 7073, the Special Districts Provide Essential Services Act, proposes to make special districts eligible for payments from the Coronavirus Relief Fund if more than $150 billion is appropriated to the fund.

A parking lot, shade structure and bathroom at the main Thousand Oaks dog park are among projects that have made their way to the short list of the Conejo Recreation and Park District capital improvement budget. Though the district is entering the second year of a two-year budget cycle, it has to make some changes due to an influx of money for capital projects and a loss in its operations budget because of issues related to the pandemic. The capital improvements budget is changing because the district received about $4.2 million from a settlement with Southern California Edison over the 2018 Woolsey fire.
