CENTRAL SAN BOARD OF DIRECTORS
WE 101 M POSITION PAPER
MEETING DATE: APRIL 15, 2021
SUBJECT: CONDUCT PUBLIC HEARING FOR ANNUAL REVIEW OF BOARD
MEMBER COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS
SUBMITTED BY: INITIATING DEPARTMENT:
KATIE YOUNG, SECRETARY OF THE SECRETARY OF THE DISTRICT
DISTRICT
Roger S. Bailey Kenton L. Alm
General Manager District Counsel
ISSUE
Central San's adopted practice since 2012 has been to conduct an annual review of Board Member
compensation and benefits at a public hearing held during the first quarter of each calendar year.
BACKGROUND
The Board adopted Resolution No. 2012-008 on March 1, 2012, formally establishing annual public
review of Board Member compensation and benefits during the first quarter of each calendar year. I n the
interest of transparency, the Board chose to hold these reviews at a properly noticed public hearing. Since
then, the Board has conducted public hearings every year to review its compensation and benefits. Due to
scheduling issues, the 2020 hearing was held during the second quarter, and the same will be true for
2021.
The only change that has been made to Board compensation and benefits since 2012 occurred in 2016
when the Board eliminated mileage reimbursement except as related to conferences (which
reimbursement is covered by Board Policy No. BP 008 - Travel Expense Reimbursement).

Last year's public hearing was preceded by a Board Workshop held March 2, 2020, at which the Board
Members took a focused look at Board Member compensation and benefits. At the public hearing that
followed on May 7, 2020, the Board unanimously agreed to make no changes to Board Member
compensation and benefits.
The comprehensive report reviewed by the Board as part of the 2020 workshop and public hearing has
been updated. See Board Member Compensation and Benefits -2021, included as Attachment 1. It
includes a history of Board action related to the meeting stipend, stipends paid for the last five calendar
years, and updated surveys of compensation and benefits of (1) local water and wastewater districts, (2)
cities within Central San's service area, and (3) various sanitary districts outside the service area that are
governed by the same Board Member compensation and benefit regulations as Central San. Two charts
have been included to illustrate where Central San's meeting stipend falls in comparison to other
agencies, and the maximum monthly stipend/meeting compensation for all surveyed entities in ranked
order.
Meeting Stipend
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, increase its meeting stipend up to 5% per calendar year following the
operative date of the last adjustment. Since the last adjustment was in 2012, the Board may increase the
current $185 stipend to a maximum of$268.25 in 2021. The Board also may decrease the stipend
amount or limit the number of compensable meetings per month to less than six.
At the hearing, the Board may wish to consider one or more of the following options:
1. Leave the Board Member compensation and benefits unchanged;
2. If a change in meeting stipend is desired, adopt an ordinance (Attachment 2) 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 become effective until 60 days after adoption (Water Code Section 20204).
ALTERNATIVES/CONSIDERATIONS
The Board may choose to leave its compensation and benefits unchanged, or may decrease or increase
the meeting stipend amount in accordance with the Water Code. The Board may also change the level of
benefits they receive as Board Members.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS
The financial impact of any changes in Board Member compensation and benefits depends upon whether
the Board chooses to increase, decrease or leave unchanged their compensation and benefits. The
maximum stipend increase permissible would be $83.25, which would bring the total meeting stipend to
$268.25 rather than the current$185.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
This matter was reviewed by the Administration Committee on March 16, 2021. The Committee
recommended holding the public hearing.

BOARD MEMBER COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS
2021
OVERVIEW
An array of options is available to sanitary district boards when
considering their compensation and benefits as board members. The
amount of the meeting stipend is one component. Determining what
constitutes a compensable activity (one that merits a meeting stipend
and/or payment of expenses) is also within the Board's purview.
Beyond that, the Board has options regarding benefits, including
medical, dental, vision and life insurance. All these options are subject
to governing statutes applicable to sanitary districts.
Provided on the next pages is a comprehensive report summarizing the
compensation and benefits currently provided to Central San Board
Members, including the cost of those benefits. Attached to the report
are exhibits that include:
• Current and historical information regarding Central San's
meeting stipend, and
• Industry survey data regarding compensation and benefits for
board members and council members.
This material has been prepared by staff to facilitate the Board's annual
review of its compensation and benefits.

I. COMPENSATION
A. MEETING STIPEND
Meeting Stipend
Board Members receive a meeting stipend for each Board and Committee meeting they attend,
in accordance with District Code Section 2.04.030 Compensation of Board Members. Board
Members are also compensated with a meeting stipend for their service as a District liaison or
as a representative to certain outside agencies and organizations. The stipend is limited to no
more than one meeting per day and six meetings per calendar month, as stipulated in Section
6489 of the Health and Safety Code (H&SC) and Section 20202 of the California Water Code.
Current Stipend
The last Board action to change the stipend was in 2012 when Ordinance No. 270 reduced the
stipend from $221 to its current $185. A history of the changes to the stipend since 1986 is
included as Exhibit A.
The average number of monthly stipends paid to each Board Member from 2016 through 2020
was 4.25 (compared to a maximum allowable of six), for an average monthly income of$786
per Member. The average total stipend paid to all five Board Members combined during that
five-year period was $47,175 per year. See Exhibit B for the detail supporting these
calculations.
For illustrative purposes, if every Board Member were to receive six stipends per month at the
current stipend level of$185, the maximum combined total would be $5,550 per month, or
$66,600 per year, and the monthly income from stipends per Board Member would be $1,110.
Adjustments to Stipend
The meeting stipend may be adjusted in accordance with the Water Code and H&SC, which
allow the Board to increase the stipend by 5% per year from the operative date of the last
adjustment. Since Central San's last adjustment was in 2012, the current $185 stipend may be
increased by 45% (not compounded), up to $268.25, as shown below:
Current Multiplier for Maximum Allowable
Year Stipend 5% Increase Increase
2012 Stipend last adjusted from$221 to$185
2013 $185 1.05 $194.25
2014 $185 1.10 203.50
2015 $185 1.15 212.75
2016 $185 1.20 222.00
2017 $185 1.25 231.25
2018 $185 1.30 240.50
2019 $185 1.35 249.75
2020 $185 1.40 259.00

If the stipend were to be increased to $268.25, the maximum payable for all five Board
Members combined would be $8,047.50 per month, or $96,570 per year, and the maximum
stipend income per month for each Board Member would be $1,609.50.
Any change in stipend amount must be accomplished by ordinance.
B. REIMBURSEMENT FOR JOB-RELATED EXPENSES
Conference Expenses
Central San pays registration, travel and other expenses for Board Members to attend various
conferences throughout the year. Board Members are also reimbursed for meals up to the daily
per diem amount, and for mileage and expenses in accordance with Board Policy No. BP 008 -
Travel Expense Reimbursement and its associated Administrative Procedure No. AP 008.
Mileage
Board Members are eligible for mileage reimbursement for traveling to qualifying events, such
as Board liaison meetings; however, in 2016 the Board eliminated mileage reimbursement for
traveling to and from Board and Committee meetings.
Other Job-Related Expenses
Any expenses incurred by Board Members to attend functions related to their position as a
Board Member are either paid on their behalf in advance by staff or reimbursed afterward.
These types of expenses typically involve registration fees and/or meals for various community
events that relate to Central San business or are of interest and value to the District.
II. BENEFITS
Effective January 1, 1995, the Legislature enacted Government Code Section 53208.5. Group
Insurance to provide a uniform limit on the health and welfare benefits for members of
legislative bodies. The limitations are: (1) that the benefit be from a "group policy," and (2) that
the benefit cannot be any greater "than the most generous schedule of benefits being received
by any category of nonsafety employees." Since all employees at Central San are nonsafety
employees, that means so long as the same benefit or a more generous one is provided to
Managers or any other bargaining group, then it is legally permissible to offer this benefit to
active Board Members.
Notwithstanding the above, neither Board Members nor employees are eligible to receive
multiple benefits from two or more public agencies that are more generous than a schedule of
benefits received by any employee for "concurrent service."

Central San currently offers the following group insurance coverage to its Board Members:
A. GROUP INSURANCE BENEFITS
Medical Insurance
Medical coverage is available to all Board Members, their spouse/registered domestic partner,
and qualified dependents. Board Members may select any plan that is offered by CaIPERS,
except for PORAC, which is a plan that is only open to members of the Peace Officers Research
Association of California. The coverage is the same as that offered to employees. Central San
pays 100% of the premium cost, up to the family rate, of the "core" plans for Board Members.
Monthly Premium Rates for CaIPERS Core Plans
(Effective January 1-December 31, 2021)
Kaiser Permanente Health Net SmartCare
Single $ 813.64 $1,120.21
Dual $1,627.28 $2,240.42
Family $2,115.46 $2,912.55
If a non-core plan is selected, Board Members and employees pay the difference between the
highest cost core plan and the plan selected. If a plan is selected that costs less than either of
the core plans, the difference will not be reimbursed.
Dual Coverage- Health Flexible Spending Arrangement Option
Upon proof of outside medical coverage, Board Members may waive District medical coverage
and participate in Central San's Section 125 Cafeteria Plan (Health Flexible Spending
Arrangement). Participation is voluntary. Central San will contribute $41.66 per month into a
Flexible Spending account for each participant (contributions are limited under the Affordable
Care Act to $500 per year).
Board Members may either receive health coverage or participate in Central San's Health
Flexible Spending Arrangement option, but not both.
Dental Insurance
Central San's group dental insurance is provided by Delta Dental of California. The coverage is
the same as that offered to employees. Central San pays 100% of the premium, at a maximum
cost of$189.90 per month for family coverage.
Vision Insurance
Because vision coverage is not included with CalPERS medical plans, Central San has contracted
with VSP to provide vision benefit services to employees and Board Members. This benefit
provides for an annual eye exam, as well as a benefit allowance for prescription glasses and
contact lenses. Central San pays 100% of the premium, at a maximum cost of$17.70 per
month for family coverage.

April 15, 2021 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 64 of 185
Page 8 of 34
Life Insurance
Board Members are automatically enrolled in Central San's life insurance plan through Voya for
$50,000 of term life with Accidental Death and Dismemberment coverage with limits equal to
the life insurance amount. An eligible dependent spouse has $1,500 of coverage; an eligible
dependent child up to age 26 has $1,000 of coverage. The coverage also entitles employees
and Board Members to the following additional services at no cost: Funeral Planning and
Concierge Services, Estate Guidance and Will Services; and Travel Assistance and Identity Theft
Protection Services. Central San pays 100% of the premium, at a maximum cost of$17.05 per
month for family coverage.
B. GROUP INSURANCE COSTS
Four Board Members are enrolled in the District's health and benefit plans, two with single
coverage and two with dual. Another Board Member waived enrollment in the District's health
and benefit plans because she is entitled to retiree benefits based on her previous service as a
Central San Board Member, in which she is reimbursed 100% of her monthly Medicare
premium and 50% of her supplemental Medicare plan premium. The combined group
insurance premium costs for all five Board Members are $6,428.28 per month, or$77,139.36
per year.
C. BENEFITS UPON SEPARATION FROM SERVICE
Upon separation from service, a former Central San Board Member will be eligible to enroll in
CalPERS for District medical coverage, and the District will pay the PEMHCA (Public Employees
Medical and Hospital Care Act) minimum for Board Members if the following conditions are
met:
1. Board Members must contribute (no maximum threshold)to the District's Section 457
Deferred Compensation Plan as an active Board Member.
2. After separation from Central San, the Board Member must be eligible for and elect to
receive those contributions as an annuity. The current Deferred Compensation Plan
provider, ICMA, has an annuity option available for Board Members.
3. Receipt of the annuity must begin within 120 days of separation.
The balance of the premium costs beyond the PEMHCA minimum must be borne by the former
Board Member.
Board Members may enroll in dental and vision coverage on a self-pay basis upon separation of
service from Central San; however, they are ineligible to purchase group life insurance.
D. SURVIVOR BENEFITS UPON SEPARATION FROM SERVICE
The surviving spouse of a Board Member who has separated service from Central San is eligible
for the PEMHCA minimum toward medical coverage and must pay any premium costs beyond
the PEMHCA minimum. Dental and vision coverage is available on a self-pay basis.

April 15, 2021 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 65 of 185
Page 9 of 34
E. SURVIVOR BENEFITS UPON DEATH IN OFFICE
A Board Member's surviving spouse and eligible dependent(s) will continue to receive the same
level of medical, dental and vision coverage as was in effect at the time of a Board Member's
death while in office. A surviving spouse would receive coverage for life (including if he or she
remarries) and any dependent children would receive coverage for as long as the plan allows.
However, no new dependents may be added.
F. OTHER BENEFITS
Section 457 Deferred Compensation Plan
Board Members are required to make a minimum contribution of 7.5% of their compensation
to Central San's 457 Deferred Compensation Plan. (This amount is roughly the equivalent of
Social Security and Medicare taxes.) Board Members may elect to defer all or a portion of their
compensation up to IRS limits. Effective July 5, 2018, Central San's 457 Plan was amended to
allow Board Members a broader range of investment options for their contributions.
Health and Wellness
Board Members may utilize Central San's employee gym during working hours and may
participate in the Health and Wellness program activities offered to all employees.
Wads
Pursuant to Board Policy No. BP 014—District-Owned Mobile Computing Devices for Board
Members, iPads equipped with a cellular data plan are offered at no cost to each Board
Member to facilitate access to electronic agenda packets. Personal use of the iPads is
permitted at the discretion of each Board Member. Upon conclusion of a Board Member's
tenure, the iPad may either be relinquished to the District or purchased by the Board Member
at current market value, at which time the cellular data plan will be canceled.
G. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
No Pension Benefits
Board Members receive no pension benefits for serving on Central San's Board.
Annual Review of Board Member Compensation and Benefits
In 2012, the Board adopted Resolution No. 2012-018 establishing formal annual public review
of Board Member compensation and benefits to be held during the first quarter of each
calendar year at a properly noticed public hearing. The Board has been conducting annual
reviews via public hearing ever since.
Surveys of Other Agencies
As part of the above annual review process, the Secretary of the District surveys other local
agencies and prepares a comparison chart of compensation and benefits. Because some of
these local agencies are governed by different compensation statutes than sanitary districts,

and to provide as broad-based survey data as possible, staff also surveys a number of other
sanitary districts in California. The survey results are shown in Exhibits C- E.
Comparisons of Stipends with Other Agencies
Exhibit F compares Central San's current stipend with those paid by other special districts.
Exhibit G compares the maximum monthly stipend for all the special districts and cities
surveyed by staff.
Is a Flat Rate Monthly Stipend Allowed?
Over the years, several Board Members have raised the idea of converting to a flat rate
monthly stipend. Current laws applicable to sanitary districts do not allow this option. (Other
special districts that have a flat rate stipend are most likely governed by different statutes than
are sanitary districts.) District Counsel Kent Alm has commented in the past that Central San
could pursue new legislation that would allow a flat rate stipend for special districts, adding
that it would take time and monetary resources to pursue that course.
