SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
Monterey County Water Resources Agency (“Agency”) Ordinance No. 3609, adopted on June 9, 1992, sets Agency Board of Director compensation at $50.00 per meeting (Attachment 1).

For budgetary reasons, the increase in compensation will be effective at the start of Fiscal Year 19/20.
This ordinance was introduced on January 29, 2019, and is scheduled for consideration by the Board for adoption on February 12, 2019.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
County Counsel has reviewed the ordinance as to form.
FINANCING:
The Agency will properly budget for this increase in compensation in Fiscal Year 19/20.
