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. 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. Most recently, in October 2021, the Board rescinded the resolution and
replaced with a comprehensive Board Policy which continued the set established public hearing review.
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 at its March 1, 2022 meeting.

17, 2022 public hearing.
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 Policy Section 1.a. within Board Policy No. BP 045 - Board
Compensation, Benefits, and Non-Travel Expense Reimbursement.
RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION
Set a public hearing for March 17, 2022 at 2:30 p.m. to review Board Member compensation and benefits
and consider amending District Code Section 2.04.030, Compensation of Board Members.
