Center Community Services District 
Mailing address: Next CSD meeting information... Background Information
What does the Trinity Center CSD do? Trinity Center Community Services District is a special district formed on 1961 by local voters. TC CSD is the local government of Trinity Center that delivers fire protection/emergency medical services and street lighting. Under its enabling act, TC CSD can provide many other municipal-type services when requested by the residents, authorized by its Board of Directors, and approved by the Trinity County Local Agency Formation Commission. What properties are in the TC CSD? The Trinity Center CSD was created in 1961. At that time, the
entire area was checker-boarded with sections (640- acre blocks)
of private land and federal forest. Only sections that were private
at that time were eligible for inclusion in the District. The District contains 465 parcels, 3,200 acres, 354 unique owners, and 204 registered voters. Property owners within the CSD enjoy a Class 5 Public Protection Classification for fire insurance based on fire alarm handling, fire department capability, and water supply, resulting in lower fire insurance rates. Residents in sections south of Norwegian Meadows opted out of the District formation. Also not included in the District are the Trinity Center Elementary School, Trinity Center airport, and KOA Campground since they are, or were, within a federally owned section. Today, Trinity Center Volunteer Fire Department
answers medical and fire calls all the way from East Fork Bridge
to Cedar Stock Resort—far
outside of the District’s area of responsibility and funding.
This extended "Sphere
of Influence," which includes
Covington Mill, Long Canyon, and Lake Forest, contains an additional
2,743 acres in 369 parcels owned by approximately 257 unique owners. TC CSD is governed by a five-member Board that is accountable to the electorate in the same manner as city councils and county boards of supervisors. Directors must be residents of the District and they stand for election every four years. Vacancies are filled according to California Government Code 1780. Directors receive no compensation or benefits for serving on the TC CSD board. Board staff includes a General Manager and a Secretary/Treasurer. The General Manager is a volunterr who receives no compensation. The Secretary/Treasurer servies part-time and receives a small, monthly stipend. The TC CSD board members (term expiration) are:
