1. ADOPT Resolution No. 2015/67 to establish the Ad Hoc Committee on Board of Supervisors Compensation.
2. DIRECT the County Administrator to facilitate and provide staff support for the Ad Hoc Committee meetings and
to report the Ad Hoc Committee's recommendations to the Board of Supervisors on July 7, 2015.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Costs to staff and facilitate Committee meetings are estimated not to exceed $28,800. Meeting stipends and mileage
reimbursement are estimated not to exceed $3,000 in total.
BACKGROUND:
On February 10, 2015, the Board of Supervisors considered several options for setting Board member salaries, as
well as the possible salary level. Following its deliberations, the Board directed the County Counsel to prepare two
ordinances for possible introduction on March 3: one authorizing a 7% increase1 to the Board of Supervisors member
salaries to the annual level of $104,307.28, and an alternate ordinance that additionally links the Board's salary level
to that of 56.5% of a Superior Court Judge's salary. The salary increase would be effective on June 1, 2015. The
requested ordinances are transmitted to the Board today in a separate item.

Subject:AD HOC COMMITTEE ON BOARD OF SUPERVISORS COMPENSATION
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
> The Board, on February 10, 2015, also directed the County Administrator to convene an ad hoc committee to
study the compensation of the Board of Supervisors members. The Board specifically defined the composition
and charge of the committee as recommended in the attached Resolution No. 2015/67. The County
Administrator's Office is prepared to provide meeting facilitation and staff support to the Ad Hoc Committee. In
light of the significant amount of research and discussions that are anticipated for the committee's work, we are
recommending a small meeting stipend and reimbursement for mileage expense incurred by the committee
members to attend the Ad Hoc Committee meetings, commensurate with the stipend authorized for civil grand
jurors, who prepare similar studies and reports.
1. The 7% increase was based on a 4% general COLA granted to employees on July 1, 2014 plus a 3% COLA that
employees will receive on July 1, 2015.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Should the Board of Supervisors elect not to approve the recommendations, a process to study Board of
Supervisors compensation would remain undefined and, lacking other direction, would not proceed.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not applicable.
