ISSUE
Pursuant to a resolution adopted in 2012, the Board must conduct an annual review of Board Member
compensation and benefits at a properly noticed public hearing held during the first quarter of each
calendar year.
BACKGROUND
I n April 2011, Contra Costa Grand J ury Report No. 1104 contained recommendations that all cities and
special districts conduct an annual public review of compensation and benefits provided to their respective
Councils and Boards, and determine whether changes are warranted. I n response to those
recommendations, in February, 2012, the Board adopted Resolution No. 2012-018, establishing a formal
review of Board Member compensation and benefits to be held at a properly noticed public hearing during the
first quarter of each year.
Staff is updating its annual surveys of other local agencies containing information regarding Board Member
meeting stipends and other compensation, including benefits, as well as a chart showing where the Central

San Board Member meeting stipend falls in comparison with other agencies. This information will be
reviewed by the Board as part of a self-evaluation workshop scheduled for March 2, 2020. Due to
scheduling issues during the first quarter, the Board will hold the 2020 annual public hearing to consider any
changes to its compensation and benefits on April 2.
ALTERNATIVES/CONSIDERATIONS
None.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS
None.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Setting of the public hearing was not reviewed by a Board Committee because Central San is required to
hold a public hearing in accordance with Resolution No. 2012-018.
RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION
1. Temporarily waive the requirements of Resolution No. 2012-018 requiring a public hearing to review
Board Member compensation and benefits be held during the first quarter each year, and
2. Set a public hearing for April 2, 2020 at 1:30 p.m. to review Board Member compensation and
benefits and consider amending District Code Section 2.04.030, "Compensation of Board
Members."
