These updates were related to a state law (known as <br />AB 1234) which established additional guidelines affecting local government board <br />compensation and expense reimbursement, as well as a requirement for local <br />government official ethics training every two years. <br />In 2018, the Legislature passed and the Governor signed AB 2329 which enables special <br />districts to increase the number of compensable meetings and activities which constitute <br />official duties from a maximum of five (5) per month to six (6) per month, provided the <br />legislative body "annually adopts a written policy, based on a finding supported by <br />substantial evidence, why more than five meetings per month are necessary for the <br />effective operation of the 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 <br />engaged partner agencies, institutions and non -profits that deliver public recreation <br />amenities, it is in the District's and public's interest to have Board members active and <br />engaged in more than five (5) meetings per month. Therefore, staff has prepared the <br />attached Resolution with findings for the Board's consideration which establishes that <br />more than five meetings per month are necessary for the effective operation of the District. <br />ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES <br />403 West Hillcrest Drive, Thousand Oaks, CA 91360-4223 <br />805-495-6471 1 Fax: 805-497-3199 1 parks@crpd.org I www.crpd.org <br />
