Elk Grove Citizen : New CSD president on parks, fire services in ’10


Elk Grove Citizen : New CSD president on parks, fire services in ’10:

"Elaine Wright said she hates to hear Elk Grove residents say, “There’s nothing for the kids to do.”


This year’s board president of the Cosumnes Community Services District (CSD) stressed the value of her district’s 80-plus parks in Elk Grove. She noted how many local houses have small back yards and there are now more apartments and duplexes than before.

“If you look at a lot of the homes, there’s no place for the kids to play,” Wright said.

She sat down with the Citizen on the year ahead for the CSD, which provides fire and parks services for Elk Grove as well as fire service for Galt.

Wright began her second board presidency since she joined the CSD board in 2000. The board appoints a different member to be president every year. Michelle Orrock is this year’s board vice president."
