The District is a state sanctioned legal entity governed by Section 5780 of the California Public Resources Code and has among its duties to provide for beautification and recreation within the Westfield designated area. The District functions with a publicly elected board and is funded by homeowners within the District. The Board allocates funds toward the maintenance and improvement of a neighborhood equestrian ring, a tennis court, horse riding and hiking trails and coordinates with County agencies regarding traffic and safety and the protection of parkway trees within Westfield.
