There are no individual charges for supplemental security services. Instead, the GDSD is supported by a property tax of up to 19 mills assessed on all real property in the District. In 1998, the imposition of the tax was approved by a vote of 72 % of the residents of the District. In 2002 and again in 2010, the tax was renewed by a majority vote in the district.

The security district is managed by a dedicated group of your neighbors in the District. Like you, they live in the District and are concerned about the safety of the entire area. Please feel free to contact any of them or the GDSD Executive Director with issues or suggestions on how to improve the safety of the area. The GDSD office is open from 9am to 5pm each weekday to handle calls from residents and businesses and property owners. The number is 525-7911 and has a 24-hour voice mail service.
