Board Meeting Date: March 19, 2015
Subject: ANNUAL PUBLIC HEARING TO REVIEW BOARD MEMBER
COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS
Submitted By.
Initiating Dept /Div.:
Elaine R. Boehme Administration /Secretary of the District
Secretary of the District
REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION:
K. Alm Roger S. Bailey
Counsel for the District General Manager
ISSUE: In accordance with Resolution 2012 -018, the Board must conduct an annual
review of Board Member compensation and benefits at a public meeting held during the
first quarter of each calendar year.
RECOMMENDATION: Conduct the annual public hearing to review Board Member
compensation and benefits. If changes are desired, consider (1.) adopting an ordinance
amending Title 2, Administration, of District Code Section 2.04.030, "Compensation of
Board Members;" or (2) directing staff to amend other compensation or benefits.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: This will depend on whether the Board chooses to increase,
decrease or leave unchanged their compensation and benefits.
(The maximum stipend increase permissible under Health and Safety Code Section
6489 and Water Code Section 20202 would be an additional 5% per year since the last
increase in 2012, bringing the total compensation per day of service to $212.75 rather
than the current $185.)
ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: The Board may choose not to change its
compensation or benefits.
BACKGROUND: In March, 2012, the Board held a public hearing and reviewed its
compensation and benefits compared to other agencies. The Board reduced its meeting
stipend from $221 per meeting to $185 per meeting. The Board also adopted Resolution
2012 -018 formally establishing the annual public review, and chose to do so at a properly
noticed public hearing in the interests of transparency.
In March 2013 and 2014, the Board held the annual public hearings and made no
changes to its compensation.
POSITION PAPER
Board Meeting Date: March 19, 2015
subject. ANNUAL PUBLIC HEARING TO REVIEW BOARD MEMBER
COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS
Staff has updated its annual survey of other local agencies with the information
recommended by the Grand Jury, i.e. meeting fees, health care insurance costs, pension,
deferred compensation, life insurance, cell phone and internet (ATTACHMENT A). Staff
has also updated the chart showing where Central San's meeting stipends fall in
comparison other agencies (ATTACHMENT B).
At the public hearing, the Board may wish to consider one or more of the following options:
Leave the Board compensation and benefits unchanged;
2. Adopt an ordinance changing the meeting stipend amount;
3. Direct staff to make other change(s) to Board Member compensation or benefits.
Any increase or decrease in meeting stipend amount would require a simple majority
vote, and the ordinance would not be effective until 60 days after adoption.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: The Administration Committee reviewed the
information at its meeting on February 19, 2015. At that meeting, Chair Williams said
he was comfortable leaving the stipend as is, but was interested in the other Board
Members' opinions. Member McGill recommended that the Board consider raising the
stipend from the current $185 to $205 or $210 per meeting.
RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Conduct the public review of Board Member
compensation and benefits and take one of the following actions:
Leave Board Member compensation and benefits unchanged;
2. Adopt an ordinance amending Title 2, Administration, of District Code Section
2.04.030, "Compensation of Board Members," if a change in meeting stipend is
desired; or
3. Direct staff to amend other compensation or benefits.
