BACKGROUND
Independent special cemetery districts are sanctioned under California
law for the performance of local government functions within specified
boundaries. There is a clear identification between agency name and
services provided, which has resulted in a high level of accountability
and responsibility to the public, and a high degree of customer satisfaction.

DEFINITION
Independent special districts are separate, local agencies, created by
local popular election. Independent special districts are directly
accountable to their constituents, not another layer of government.

WHO RUNS THEM
Districts are governed by boards of trustees appointed for a fixed term
and are directly accountable to the public. The trustees are members of
the communities they serve and must reside or own property within
their district. Board Meetings are held 2nd Tuesday of each month
7:00p.m. at the District Office Public is invited and welcome.

ENDOWMENT CARE FUND
Funds collected from cemetery property purchases are placed in trust,
with Sacramento County, for the maintenance and upkeep of the
cemetery. The state monitors the fund and establishes the minimum
amount that must be collected. The cemetery is permitted to collect
more than the minimum to build the fund. Only the interest earned by
such funds may be used for the care and maintenance of the cemetery.
