The District is governed by a five-member Board of Directors.  The Directors are elected on an at-large basis for four-year terms.  In 2001, the Board voted to align its elections with the Statewide General Elections to increase voter turnout and achieve a substantial cost savings. 

At the Board's discretion an organizational meeting is held at least every other year to assign officers' duties and to appoint the standing Committee representatives.  This process generally results in a rotation of duties among the Board members.  The established Committees meet on an as-needed basis.  If necessary, Ad Hoc Committees are formed for special projects. 

The Board of Directors approves the annual operating and capital budgets and authorizes expenditures of the District's funds.
