The Los Osos Community Services District is an independent government agency that provides Water, Drainage, Parks and Recreation, Solid Waste, Street Lighting for Vista De Oro and Bayridge Estates, Fire Emergency and Rescue Response Services. Board Members serve an important role in how these services are provided by establishing policies, defining priorities, setting utility rates, and ensuring tax dollars are spent efficiently and effectively.

The Board of Directors is made up of five persons, serving staggered four-year terms, and meet once a month on the first Thursday at 6 pm. Board Members also serve on Committees and may represent the District on other regional agencies or commissions. Board Members earn $100 per day while attending meetings or training, up to a maximum of $600 per month.

Effective Board Members do not need to have expertise or even experience with the services the District provides, but do need to be able to put in the time necessary to come up to speed with the issues the District is facing, spend a few hours before each meeting reviewing materials and preparing for the meeting, and be able to work with the other members of the Board, District staff and the Community to provide for the best outcomes for the District and its residents and businesses.

District 3 and District 5 both have openings starting December 2024. Any resident that fills out an application needs to reside in the corresponding District. Please see the attached District Map for the District locations.

The Los Osos Community Services District requests that residents that apply attend the October 3rd Board Meeting at 6:00 p.m. in the District Board Room located at 2122 9th Street Suite 106, Los Osos, and be available to answer questions related to their application. The District Board will be making an appointment recommendation to County of San Luis Board of Supervisors for their consideration.
