Adopt Resolution 120320-A Adopting Findings and Establishing a Policy Regarding Board Compensation. 2. Adopt Updated Board of Directors Policy On Compensable Performance of Official Duties DISCUSSION Resoludon Adopfing Findings and Establishing a Policy Regarding Board Compensat'mn In 2006, the Board updated and adopted policies regarding compensation for meetings and performance of other compensable official duties and activities and also updated their expense reimbursement policies. These updates were related to a state law (known as AB 1234) which established additional guidelines affecting local government board compensation and expense reimbursement, as well as a requirement for local government official ethics training every two years. In 2018, the Legislature passed and the Governor signed AB 2329 which enables special districts to increase the number of compensable meetings and activities which constitute official duties from a ma)�imum of five (5) per month to six (6) per month, provided the legislative body "annually adopts a written policy, based on a finding supported by substantial evidence, why more than five meetings per month, are necessary for the effective operation of the District." Staff believes that given the breadth of CRPD programming and activities offered, diverse programming areas, numerous facilities, number of residents served, and active and engaged partner agencies, institutions and non -profits that deliver public recreation amenities, it is in the District's and public's interest to have Board members active and engaged in more than five (5) meetings per month. Therefore, staff has prepared the attached Resolution with findings for the Board's consideration i�hich establishes that more than five meetings per month are necessary for the effective operation of the District. Minor changes have been made to clarify that compensable meetings may be held remotely (via telephone or internet, i.e., zoom,) as well as traditional in-person meetings.
