Board Meeting Schedule

The Board did not make any changes to the Board meeting schedule that was previously approved. 

Trustee Compensation

The Board agreed to align the mileage rate with the current CRA mileage rate. Individuals who elect to drive their personal vehicle when a division vehicle is available will be compensated at 50% of the CRA rate. 

There were no changes made to rates for accommodations and meals.

The Board decided to establish an ad hoc committee to research trustee compensation including meeting rates and per diems. Three trustees will serve on that committee and bring recommendations back to the Board.
