Amend Compensation and Reimbursement Policy for Board
Members to Comply with Limitations of AB 1234

changes specify additional activities triggering compensation; remove a
catch-all provision allowing the Board Chair to approve compensation for
activities not specifically called out in the policy; require use of
government and group rates, when available; require the Board to approve
reimbursements exceeding the rates set forth in the reimbursement
policy; require Board Members
to present a brief report on the meetings they have
attended at AQMD expense; and require receipts to
document all reimbursable expenses. |
