GENERAL INFORMATION

The Salton Community Services District was originally formed as Desert Shores Community Services District and then all of the area south was annexed in 1957, the name was changed to Salton, as that area was being subdivided into 98 individual tracts.

The original Charter Articles allowed were items A through H of Government Code Section 6100 of the State of California.  Some of those articles were never used and became latent under Senate Bill 135 in Code Section 560-36 et.
