Board of Commissioners February 26, 2007
BACKGROUND
On December 19, 2006, during a discussion about compensation for Board of Supervisors
members and other elected officers, the Board asked the County Administrator to provide a
follow-up report on the origin and authority for meeting stipends for governing board members of
the following public agencies: County Housing Authority, County Redevelopment Agency (RDA),
County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (FCWCD). Following are the origin and
authorization for the current stipends:
County Housing Authority CA Health and Safety Code section 35274
County Redevelopment Agency RDA Resolution No. 84-15
County Flood Control and Water Code Appendix, Chapter 63
Water Conservation District
On February 13, 2007, the Board of Supervisors received an informational report from the County
Administrator citing the authority and origin for the stipends, and directed staff to prepare
resolutions to terminate the stipends for the County Supervisors that serve on the governing
boards of each agency.
Since some of the authorizing legislation that provides the stipends and expense reimbursement
is directive rather than permissive, Supervisors can decide on an individual basis whether or not
to submit expense reimbursement claims. For example the stipends for the Housing Authority
and the Redevelopment Agency may be terminated by resolution, but the stipend for the Flood
Control and Water Conservation District may only be waived by the individual governing board
member. Likewise, reimbursement of other actual and necessary expenses incurred in the
discharge of governing board duties may only be waived by the individual governing board
member.
