FINANCIAL IMPACT Our report to the Board on December 9, 1986, indicated the annual cost of providing $50 meeting stipends and mileage reimbursement to members of the East County and San Ramon Valley Regional Planning Commissions is estimated at $38, 000. If such reimbursement were made effective January 1, 1987, the cost for the balance of the current fiscal year would be about $19,000 . . Review of the Community Development Department budget indicates that such cost could be covered by projected salary savings. BACKGROUND On December 9, 1986 your Board received a report from the County Administrator which provided financial and background information on the proposed payment of meeting stipends to members of the East County and San Ramon Valley Regional Planning Commissions. At that time your Board requested that staff conduct further research on the issue of remuneration to commission members. On March 11 , 1986 your Board approved, in concept, the establishment of an East County Regional Planning Commission as proposed in a report prepared by the East County Regional Planning Commission Task Force. At that time the issue of commission member remuneration was left for further consideration. On June 10, 1986 your Board adopted an ordinance establishing the East County and San Ramon Valley Regional Planning Commissions. No provision was made for commission member remuneration. The payment of stipends and/or expense reimbursement to members of regional planning commissions is a matter for Board policy determination.
