RESOLUTION NO. 2009-05

 

A Resolution of the Board of Directors

of the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District

Establishing Guidelines for Direct Receipt of Payment

from Non-District Funds for Travel and Related Expenses

 

WHEREAS, select public officials have economic interest reporting requirements set by the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC), and

Whereas, those requirements impose an obligation upon select public officials to report direct receipt of travel payments and related expenses, including lodging and meals, on Schedule F of FPPC Form 700, and

Whereas, public officials are not required to disclose travel payments and related expenses when received from the government agency for which an individual public official renders service, and

 

Whereas, the Board should not restrict the ability of officials to travel and receive reimbursement, provided such reimbursement is properly disclosed, and

 

Whereas, the determination as to which persons will best benefit the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District by engaging in travel may be determined by the Board as a whole, the Board Chairperson, and/or the General Manager,

Now therefore be it resolved, that individual public officials receiving direct payment for travel and related expenses, including lodging and meals, shall report their receipt in accord with the requirements set by the Fair Political Practices Commission for Schedule F of FPPC Form 700, or in the alternative,

            Be it further resolved, that the Board, Board Chairperson, and/or the General Manager, depending upon circumstances, may designate persons whose travel shall benefit the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District, and in such event, reimbursement of amounts paid, and/or receipt of vouchers or direct services in relation to such travel and related expenses, shall be deemed payment received from the District.
