It is the intent of the Board of Directors of the District to maintain a District Operational Policies and Procedures Manual. Contained in the Manual shall be a comprehensive listing and description of the Board’s current operational policies and procedures, which constitute the rules and regulations enacted by the Board from time to time to govern the operations of the District. The District’s Operational Policies and Procedures Manual is intended to serve as a resource for directors, staff and members of the public in determining the manner in which the District’s business is to be conducted.
This manual has been compiled from the District’s records on such matters (various resolutions), from model policies provided by the California Special Districts Association (CSDA), from the practical experience gained by GCSD Directors, and material from other Special Districts. Its use is intended to assist GCSD Directors with their duties and responsibilities by providing basic guidelines in one comprehensive and dynamic source. Overall, its use should help new Directors quickly comprehend what is expected from them, while supporting the Board’s goal to conduct the District’s business in an orderly, efficient, effective and respectful manner, compliant with the rules and regulations governing California Special Districts.
