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.
Staff is updating the annual survey of other local agencies containing information regarding Board Member
meeting stipends and other compensation, as well as a chart showing where the Central San Board
Member meeting stipend falls in comparison to other agencies. This information will be reviewed by the
Administration Committee on March 5, 2024.
The full Board will consider whether it wishes to make any changes to its compensation and benefits at the

hold a public hearing in accordance with Resolution No. 2012-018.
RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION
Set a public hearing for March 21, 2024 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."
