Transparency
Vallecitos isn’t only interested in being transparent. It wants to be a certified leader in it.
In 2014, the District received its first Special District Leadership Foundation’s Transparency Certificate of Excellence. By aligning with this non-profit organization looking to promote openness in operations and governance with customers of special districts, Vallecitos was able to showcase its sincerity in assuring ratepayers that the District values their trust and is dedicated to providing the most crystal clear service possible. Furthermore, this openness, which includes public postings and televised broadcast of all Board meetings, strengthens the District’s dedication to efficient and effective operations while at the same time continuing its focus on exceptional and sustainable services.
Once Vallecitos received the “District Transparency Certificate of Excellence” in 2014, the District was then eligible to become a “District of Distinction” by completing additional requirements. To further the Board's commitment to open government, in 2016, Vallecitos was honored for achieving both the “District Transparency Certificate of Excellence” and “District of Distinction” accreditation by the Special District Leadership Foundation for completing all the essential governance transparency requirements. This included conducting ethics training for all Board members, properly hosting open and public meetings, filing financial transactions and compensation reports to the State Controller in a timely manner, and posting transparency requirements on the District's website as highlighted below*. Vallecitos is one of only 36 special districts, out of over 2,000 within the State of California, to obtain the "District of Distinction" recognition. In 2018, Vallecitos was again honored for achieving the "District Transparency Certificate of Excellence" and the "District of Distinction" accreditation and continued earning these certifications in 2021. In 2024, Vallecitos was honored for achieving re-accreditation with a “Transparency Certificate of Excellence" and "District of Distinction."
