GENERAL INFORMATION

MISSION STATEMENT: Resort Improvement District No. 1 provides reliable electric, water, and wastewater utility services, fire protection and emergency medical services, and management of greenbelt and public recreation within Shelter Cove.

Shelter Cove is an unincorporated residential community located in Southern Humboldt County on the Lost Coast of California. The Resort Improvement District No. 1 (District) is a special-purpose district established in 1965 pursuant to the State Public Resources Code Section 13000-13233. Only three such districts were created before this enabling legislation was repealed by the State Legislature in 1975. The District was formed for the purpose of installing and maintaining facilities that provide electric, water and sewer services for the community of Shelter Cove. The District also manages the greenbelt areas within the sub-division, the Shelter Cove Golf Links, children's playground, recreational trails , the day-use Shelter Cove Airport and the Shelter Cove Fire Department which provides emergency services such as fire protection, emergency medical and ocean rescue.

The District is governed by a five-member board of directors elected to four-year terms of office by the residents of Shelter Cove. Regular monthly board meetings are held every third Thursday at 09:00 AM in the Fire Station meeting hall located at 9126 Shelter Cove Road, Shelter Cove, CA 95589.
