POSITION PAPER
MEETING DATE: MARCH 21, 2019
SUBJECT: HOLD PUBLIC HEARING TO CONDUCTANNUAL PUBLIC REVIEW OF
BOARD MEMBER COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS
SUBMITTED BY: INITIATING DEPARTMENT:
KATIE YOUNG, SECRETARY OF THE SECRETARY OF THE DISTRICT
DISTRICT
Roger S. Bailey
General Manager
ISSUE
The Board is required by resolution to conduct an annual review of Board Member compensation and
benefits at a public meeting held during the first quarter of each calendar year.
BACKGROUND
In the interests of transparency, the Board adopted Resolution No. 2012-018 on March 1, 2012 formally
establishing annual public review of its compensation and benefits during the first quarter of each calendar
year, and chose to do so at a properly noticed public hearing. At that same meeting, the Board also
adopted an ordinance reducing its stipend from $221 to $185 per meeting, which amount remains in effect
today.
Since then, the Board has conducted annual public hearings every March to review its compensation and
benefits. The only change that has been made since 2012 to Board Member compensation and
benefits occurred in 2016 when the Board eliminated mileage reimbursement for attendance at meetings
and events (unless related to a conference, which is covered under Board Policy No. BP 008 - Travel
Expense Reimbursement).
At last year's public hearing, the Board unanimously agreed to leave compensation and benefits
unchanged pending receipt at a future meeting of (1)feedback from District Counsel as to the legality of
considering Member Causey's suggestion of a flat monthly fee for meeting compensation, and (2)
additional historical information on payment of stipends.

Page 2 of 17
At the April 26, 2018 Board meeting, District Counsel confirmed that no monthly flat fee alternatives are
statutorily available at this time. The Board also received historical information on the number of stipends
paid to Board Members for the two previous calendar years, including the number of meetings for which
no stipend was paid because no stipend is payable for a second meeting on the same day or for more
than six meetings per calendar month. The Board elected by a vote of 4-1 (Causey opposed)to leave
compensation and benefits unchanged. Member Causey said he would have preferred to reduce the
stipend.
Stipend History
Central San's meeting stipend was set at $100 in 1987. It was increased to $170 in 2000 and to $221 in
2007. It was reduced to $185 in 2012, where it remains.
The Board may, by ordinance adopted pursuant to Water Code Section 20202, increase its compensation
above the amount of $100 per day permitted by the Health and Safety Code. The Water Code permits a
compensation increase of up to five percent once in each calendar year following the operative date of the
last adjustment. That being the case, the Board has the authority to increase the current$185 stipend
established in March 2012 to a maximum of$249.75 in 2019. The Board may also decrease the stipend
amount or limit the number of compensable meetings per month to less than six.
Updated Annual Surveys
In January 2019, staff updated its annual surveys of compensation and benefits of other local agencies
(Attachment 1) and cities within Central San's service area (Attachment 2). Staff also updated the chart
showing where Central San's meeting stipend falls in comparison with other agencies (Attachment 3). At
the Administration Committee's request, data for the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors was
included in the survey. Also, a new Attachment 4 was added illustrating the maximum monthly
stipend/meeting compensation for all surveyed entities in ranked order. The figures represent the
maximum amount payable per month, not the actual amounts paid.
At the public hearing, the Board may wish to consider one or more of the following options:
1. Leave the Board compensation and benefits unchanged;
2. If a change in meeting stipend is desired, adopt an ordinance (Attachment 5) changing the meeting
stipend amount; and/or
3. Direct staff to make other changes to Board Member compensation and/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 (Water Code Section 20204).
ALTERNATIVES/CONSIDERATIONS
The Board may choose not to change its 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 five percent per calendar year(35 percent, not
compounded) since the last adjustment in 2012, bringing the total compensation per day of service to
$249.75 rather than the current$185.)

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Administration Committee reviewed the information at its meeting on March 12, 2019. At that
meeting, the Committee requested staff augment the backup survey material. No recommendation was
made.
RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION
Conduct the public review of Board Member compensation and benefits and take one or more of the
following actions:
1. Leave Board Member compensation and benefits unchanged; or
2. If a change in meeting stipend is desired, adopt an ordinance amending Title 2, Administration, of
District Code Section 2.04.030, "Compensation of Board Members"; and/or
3. Direct staff to amend other compensation and/or benefits.

* For the special districts on this chart(except for EBMUD, which has a flat monthly
compensation), the figures are derived by multiplying the meeting stipend times the
maximum number of allowable monthly stipends. Please note that in the case of Central
San, Board Members typically do not receive the maximum number of stipends in any given
month. The same may be true of other special districts.
** Monthly maximum is an average based on approximately 20 meetings per year.
