Humanities Homework Help. Moorpark College Ventura County Special Districts Paper
Help me study for my Political Science class. I’m stuck and don’t understand.
Purpose
Governance in California is an interlocking and overlapping mesh of government agencies. Some are elected bodies chartered by the state. Others are formed by citizens to provide themselves with a service. Many of us live in the jurisdiction of several governments all at once. While these agencies have the most impact on our daily lives we seldom interact with them, or even know of their existence.
In completing this assignment you will:
- Identify a special district in Ventura County
- Learn basic information about the district including what service it provides, what area it covers, how it’s funded, etc.
- Convey that information to your community members.
Tasks
USE Ventura county
- Start by identifying a district using the Ventura County mapping tool (Links to an external site.)You can choose any district you live in or just one that looks interesting.
- Find that district’s website. Thanks to California’s transparency laws all special districts must maintain up to date websites.
- Write a brief summary, no more than 200 words, of the basic information about the district that you find on its website. Include whether or not it is single or multi function, enterprise or non-enterprise and dependent or independent. You’ll also want to describe the area it covers. Finally, include information about something interesting you find on the site, much like you did with your hometown city government’s site.
- Finally, write a 1 minute elevator pitch about why your friends, family, and fellow community members should pay attention to the district. Use the instructions below to help you write your elevator pitch.
