(Sponsor: Mendocino County Employees Retirement Association)

Recommended Action/Motion:

Adopt Resolution making Government Code Section 31521 applicable in Mendocino County to allow the Board of Retirement to set the meeting compensation paid to appointed and elected retired trustees to up to $320 per meeting; and authorize Chair to sign same.
End
Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
None.
Summary of Request:
Existing section 31521 authorizes the Board of Supervisors to provide compensation to certain members of the Board of Retirement at a rate of not more than $100 for a meeting of the Board or a meeting of a committee authorized by the Board. The Legislature recently amended section 31521, which, if adopted by the Board of Supervisors, would permit the Board of Retirement to set compensation for appointed and retired trustees from $100 to up to $320 per meeting, effective January 1, 2027, for not more than 5 meetings per month. The Board of Retirement meets once per month and has one standing committee that meets 3 times per year. The meeting compensation payment only applies to trustees appointed by the Board of Supervisors and elected by retired members.
Currently, two of the four appointee seats are vacant. The Board of Retirement has not had all appointee seats filled since March 2021. The Board believes that increasing meeting compensation could help attract and retain appointed trustees due to the time requirement to prepare for and attend meetings.
Alternative Action/Motion:
None.
