A 1984 epidemic of St. Louis encephalitis spurred the creation of this
District to protect the residents of the San Gabriel Valley from mosquito-borne
diseases. Chapter 5 of the California Health & Safety Code provides
the District with the authority to adopt the polices, via the Board of Trustees, through which we operate.
The District is governed by a twenty-four member Board of Trustees with one
Trustee appointed by each contracting city and one by the County of Los Angeles. The Board meets at our District headquarters on the second Friday of each month at 7:00am. The public is always invited and encouraged to attend District Board Meetings.
Funding for District services are collected through a benefit assessment of
each parcel in the District. The assessed benefit amount is
based on land use and parcel size and ranges from $6.81 to $15.17 per
parcel with the majority of parcels being assessed at the $6.81 level.
