Adopt Resolution 012419-A Adopting Findings and Establishing a Policy Regarding <br />Board Compensation. <br />2. Adopt Updated Board of Directors Expense Reimbursement Policy <br />DISCUSSION <br />Resolution Adopting Findings and Establishing a Policy Regarding Board Compensation <br />In 2006, the Board updated and adopted policies regarding compensation for meetings and <br />performance of other compensable official duties and activities and also updated their expense <br />reimbursement policies. These updates were related to a state law (known as AB 1234) which <br />established additional guidelines affecting local government board compensation and expense <br />reimbursement, as well as a requirement for local government official ethics training every two <br />years. <br />During this past legislative session, the Legislature passed and the Governor signed AB 2329 <br />which enables special districts to increase the number of compensable meetings and activities <br />which constitute official duties from a maximum of five (5) per month to six (6) per month, provided <br />the legislative body "annually adopts a written policy, based on a finding supported by substantial <br />evidence, why more than five meetings per month are necessary for the effective operation of the <br />District." <br />Staff believes that given the breadth of CRPD programming and activities offered, diverse <br />programming areas, numerous facilities, number of residents served, and active and engaged <br />partner agencies, institutions and non -profits that deliver public recreation amenities, it is in the <br />District's and public's interest to have Board members active and engaged in more than five (5) <br />meetings per month. Therefore, staff has prepared the attached Resolution with findings for the <br />ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES <br />403 West Hillcrest Drive - Thousand Oaks, CA 91360-4223 <br />(805) 495-6471 - FAX: (805) 497-3199 - Email: parks@crpd.org - Website: www.crpd.org <br />
