Board of Directors
A five-member Board of Directors governs the Dublin San Ramon Services District by setting policies, appointing officers, and hiring and overseeing the District’s General Manager. The Board exercises these powers under the authority of the Community Services District Law as explained in the Fact Sheet: What Is a Special District? and as detailed in California Government Code section 61000 et seq. The Board is ultimately responsible and accountable to the people of the District. Its roles and responsibilities are explained more fully in Guidelines for Conducting Board Business.
The District transitioned to area-based elections in 2019. Each Director represents a portion of the District's service area identified as Division voting areas. Director terms are four years.

The purpose of the District’s Ticket Distribution policy is to ensure that all tickets and/or passes accepted by the Dublin San Ramon Services District from public and private entities and individuals are distributed in furtherance of governmental and/or public purposes.
