Isla Vista Community Services District

Isla Vista, CA is a close-knit oceanside town along the South-Central Coast in Santa Barbara County. It is known for its youthful atmosphere and the adventurous spirit of its residents. The Isla Vista Community Services District (IVCSD) was formed in early 2017 (Pursuant to Government Code § 61250) after decades of struggles for self-governance by the residents of this unincorporated community. The District’s adopted 2022-2023 budget includes $1.3 million for community facilities and programs, public safety services, a rental housing mediation program, a community beautification program, a compost collection service, and more. We have a small staff of a General Manager, Community Engagement Director, Community Spaces Manager, Compost Collective Manager, IV Beautiful Manager, and interns; along with many contractors and community partners. Board of Directors meetings take place on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month in the Community Conference Room, located at 970 Embarcadero del Mar.
