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 Jury 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. In 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 and statewide 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 Administration Committee meeting scheduled for March 16, 2021. Due
to scheduling issues during the first quarter, the Board will hold the 2021 annual public hearing to consider
any changes to its compensation and benefits on April 15.

Board Member compensation and benefits be held during the first quarter each year, and

benefits and consider amending District Code Section 2.04.030, "Compensation of Board
