Central Commercial Maintenance Assessment District was created under California law and an ordinance of the City of San Diego as a special district to provide for maintenance, security and beautification of the core of the community where it is located. The property owners of the District voted in a special mail election to impose on themselves the tax obligation that funds the District operations. The City of San Diego acts as the fiscal agent for the District, holding the tax revenues until the District spends them.
When the District was organized, the vote specified that the District should be run by a nonprofit organization created by the property owners. A nonprofit corporation was then organized by filing with the California Secretary of State Articles of Incorporation and those property owners who wanted to participate became the first Board of Directors. They adopted the Bylaws of the Corporation.
The Board of Directors of CCDRC elected officers. Each year, in accordance with the Bylaws, CCDRC holds a meeting for the members to elect directors, after which the directors elect officers to serve for the next year.
