Special districts need the public’s help
By Mimi Garner
Director, Plumas County Special Districts Association
Are you tired of sitting at home and watching TV as the world passes you by? Enrich your life by volunteering locally! There is a huge demand for volunteers to man our Community Services and Special Districts boards. Due to Covid, there are a lot of empty board seats. They cannot function without a quorum.
Over 350 citizens volunteer every year to keep our community services districts operating properly. These districts provide us with clean potable water and manage the /waste disposal systems for our homes. They also oversee our hospitals, volunteer fire departments. They maintain our parks and recreation districts. Not to mention, keeping our cemeteries landscaped and beautiful. All vital endeavors to running our county.
When you volunteer, you’ll be giving back to the community and you’ll meet and work with some wonderful people. The few hours you invest per month or per quarter will make a big difference for your neighborhood and the Plumas County community.
How can you make a difference, you ask? By volunteering to fill a vacant board seat left empty during the Covid crisis.
Here is a list of the special districts in Plumas County that I am sure many of you will recognize depending on which part of the county or neighborhood you live in. Give them a call to see how you can help.
