MONTEREY PENINSULA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT

SETTING COMPENSATON FOR BOARD MEMBERS

 

FINDINGS

 

1.         The Water Management District is charged under the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District Law with the integrated management of the ground and surface water resources in the Monterey Peninsula area.  The Board of Directors for the District consists of seven members; five are elected by the qualified voters of the District, one is a member of the Monterey County Board of Supervisors, and one is a city council official appointed by the City Selection Committee. 

 

2.                  The Water Management District Board Members are presently compensated for meeting attendance, pursuant to Water Code §§ 20200 through 20207, and MPWMD Ordinance No. 113, at the rate of one hundred dollars ($100) dollars per meeting, to a maximum of five (5) meetings per month.  This level of compensation took effect in July, 2004. 

 

3.                  Water Code Section § 20202 allows the Water Management District to set compensation of attendance of board members for each day's attendance at meetings of the board, or for each day's service rendered as a member of the board by request of the board, not to exceed ten (10) days in any calendar month.  This section also authorizes the rate of compensation to be increased by up to five (5%) percent each calendar year following the operative date of the last compensation adjustment. 

 

4.                  This ordinance would set the rate of compensation for attendance at meetings of the board, or for each day's service rendered as a member of the board by request of the board, to one hundred ten dollars ($110) dollars per meeting.  This increase is less than five (5%) percent per calendar year since the operative date of the last compensation adjustment.
