BOONVILLE, Mendocino County — October 23, 2026. Anderson Valley residents can review local public finance documents without relying solely on rumors about fees or district spending. The Anderson Valley Community Services District (AVCSD) posts links to its Proposed Budget Summary for fiscal 2026–2027 and 2025 Audit, along with current fee schedules, district boundaries and state-mandated financial reports.
What services does the district coordinate?
AVCSD’s public website describes programs and community services including volunteer fire response, emergency services, recreation and local infrastructure interests. District responsibilities should not be confused with those of Mendocino County or school and water agencies. The district serves communities across Anderson Valley, with a public office in Boonville.
Why read a budget and an audit separately?
A proposed budget sets out planned resources and expenses, while an audit reviews financial reporting for a completed period. A proposed spending amount should not be reported as money already spent or as approval to begin a construction project. Residents can compare the budget, any adopted revisions, approved board minutes and audited financial statements to understand whether priorities changed.
Are there new fees?
The agency lists a Fee Schedule among its resources. The presence of a fee schedule does not mean every household in Boonville owes every listed charge or that a new assessment was recently approved. Check the service type, parcel or district boundaries and operative schedule; verify any needed public hearing or approval requirement from the actual district record.
How can residents participate?
The district’s official calendar provides board and committee meeting dates. The site records an October 21, 2026 board meeting and provides agenda links as published. If you missed a meeting, ask for the meeting’s minutes before assuming what was adopted. Community members may ask questions about budgets, infrastructure, emergency service funding and district projects through public comment under the posted rules.
Where is the office?
AVCSD lists its office at 14281 Highway 128, Boonville, with phone 707-895-2075, and regular posted hours Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Confirm current hours before visiting.
