LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 2721, Lee.
Bay Area Air Quality Management District: district board: compensation.
Existing law establishes the Bay Area Air Quality Management District, which is vested with the authority to regulate air emissions located in the boundaries of the Counties of Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, and Santa Clara and portions of the Counties of Solano and Sonoma. Existing law establishes a district board to govern the district and prescribes the membership of the district board. Existing law authorizes the district board to provide, by ordinance, compensation not to exceed $100 per day for board members for attending meetings of the board or committees of the board or while on official business of the district and not to exceed $6,000 per year. Existing law also requires board members to receive actual and necessary expenses incurred in the performance of their duties.
This bill would revise the amount
of compensation that a member of the board may receive for attending a meeting of the board or attending a meeting while on official business of the district to an amount not to exceed $100 per meeting and $200 per day. The bill would also authorize a member of the board to receive compensation for active transportation travel to one of these meetings and would subject this compensation to the $6,000 total annual compensation limit.
