TRANSPARENCY CERTIFICATE
1) Transparency Certificate of Excellence Awarded to Central San
Six years ago, Central San applied for and received its first "Transparency Certificate of
Excellence" offered by the Special District Leadership Foundation (SDLF) in recognition
of its outstanding efforts to promote transparency and good governance. The certificate
is good for two years and in 2015 and again in 2017 the Certificate of Excellence was
renewed for another two years. In September, the Secretary of the District submitted an
application to the SDLF to renew the certificate for two more years.
SDLF is an independent, non-profit organization formed to promote good governance and
best practices among California's special districts through certification, accreditation, and
other recognition programs.
In order to receive the award, a special district must demonstrate the completion of
essential governance transparency requirements, including conducting ethics training for
all board members, properly conducting open and public meetings, and filing financial
transactions and compensation reports to the State Controller in a timely manner.
Central San also fulfilled over sixteen website requirements, including providing readily
available information to the public, such as board agendas, past minutes, current district
budget, and the most recent financial audit. Finally, Central San had to demonstrate
outreach best practices to its constituents that engage and inform the public in its
governance and operations.
Earning the Certificate serves as a tangible acknowledgement of Central San's
transparency efforts and validates to constituents and other stakeholders the District's
commitment to being open and accessible to them. It signifies Central San's dedication
to engage the public and create a greater awareness of its activities. It also demonstrates
that Central San is adhering to one of its stated Values (be open, transparent and
accessible) in support of its Vision Statement and is consistent with Strategic Plan Goal
One (provide exceptional customer service and maintain an excellent reputation in the
community).
The Secretary of the District's Office recently received notice (Attachment 2) that its
Transparency Certificate of Excellence has been renewed for another two years, through
September 2021. A representative of the SDLF will present the new Certificate to the
Board at an upcoming meeting.
