ISSUE: In accordance with Central San's Travel Policy BP 008, the Board must approve
Board Members' proposed attendance at conferences in advance for each year.
BACKGROUND: At its meeting on November 20, 2008, the Board voted to amend the
Travel Policy to state that Board Member conference attendance will be approved by
the Board on a yearly basis in advance to ensure transparency.
The attached list represents proposed attendances at various industry -related conferences
throughout the upcoming calendar year.
In the event that a Board Member wishes to attend a conference other than as shown
on Attachment 1, separate Board approval will be required. The conference attendance
being approved today is only for planning purposes and does not represent a
commitment that a Board Member will attend.
ALTERNATIVES/CONSIDERATIONS: The Board may deny the approval of the
conference attendance or provide other direction to staff.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The amount of $50,000 for Board Member conference attendance
was included in the Fiscal Year 2016-17 Operations and Maintenance Budget. In 2015-16
$28,000 was spent on Board conference attendance.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: This matter was not reviewed by a Board Committee.
RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Approve proposed conference attendance for
Board Members for calendar year 2017 as shown on Attachment 1 (for purposes of this
action, attendance listed as "Maybe" will be considered approved by the Board).
