The Solano County Mosquito Abatement District is an independent special district and is not a part of the Solano County governmental system.  Rather each city within the District’s jurisdiction can appoint a trustee to represent their community on the Solano County Mosquito Abatement District’s Board of Trustees; in addition to the Trustees that represent the municipalities the county at large is also given a representative trustee position called the Trustee-at-Large.

Independent special districts are formed by residents and sanctioned by the State of California Government Code to provide local services.
