Aleshire & Wynder Commemorates Special Districts Week

Irvine, CA—Today, Aleshire & Wynder, LLP commemorated Special Districts Week to encourage residents of California to be involved in their community and be civically engaged with their local government.

Special Districts Week, May 18-24, will be established by the State Legislature with approval of Assembly Concurrent Resolution (ACR) 36.

Aleshire & Wynder was formed in 2003 to provide public agency representation to California. A number of our attorneys have over 50 years of public service, and collectively, our attorneys have worked for a majority of the major municipal law firms in Southern California. Individually and collectively, we love public service. We enjoy the complexity and variety of issues, including unique areas of law such as land use, constitutional, and environmental law. We also enjoy the dynamic of the political process and working with elected officials and professional staff who are similarly motivated to serve the public. Above all, we have a deep appreciation for democratic values and processes at the local level. 

ACR 36 is sponsored by the California Special Districts Association (CSDA), a statewide association representing over 1,200 special districts and affiliate organizations throughout the state. Special districts are local government entities created by a community’s residents, funded by those residents, and overseen by those residents to provide specialized services and infrastructure.

“Special districts are formed by residents to provide essential services that they want and need at the local level. They provide an opportunity to have local control while enhancing services that make communities survive and thrive,” said CSDA’s CEO, Neil McCormick. “We appreciate the Legislature’s support in raising awareness and increasing understanding about the special districts that serve our state’s communities.”
