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.
