Isla Vista Community Services District seeks Interim General Manager
- This RFP was uploaded by the owner.
The Isla Vista Community Services District is requesting proposals (RFP) from qualified firms to serve as Interim General Manager for the District. The District was recently approved by the voters of Isla Vista, California in November of 2016, and first convened its Board of Directors on March 7, 2017. The District is seeking administrative services from firms to oversee the operations of the District during its initial 'start-up' period.
The District currently faces a number of challenges and opportunities. As chartered under state law, it is authorized to provide eight initial services, including the power to contract for additional policing, exercise the powers of a parking district, acquire and maintain community facilities, provide landlord/tenant mediation, fund a Municipal Advisory Council and an Area Planning Commission, create and maintain sidewalks, lighting, gutters, and street trees, and abate graffiti. The District is not funded by traditional property taxes, and has the power to levy a Utility User Tax. The operations of the District are currently financed by a combination of grants from UC Santa Barbara and private foundations, intergovernmental revenue, and donations.
