§ 10908 Recreation Commissioners Board Composition

This law says a recreation board can have 5 or 7 members, and they can get paid up to $25 per meeting, but only for one meeting a month. They can also get money back for travel if they have to go somewhere for board work.

Key Takeaways

  • •The board can have 5 or 7 people on it.
  • •Members can get paid $25 for one meeting per month, not more.
  • •They can get money back for travel if they have to go somewhere for board work.

Example

A town has a recreation board that meets twice a month to plan park events.

The board members can get paid $25 for one of those meetings, but not the second one. If they drive to a conference to learn about parks, the town can pay them back for gas or bus tickets.

How to Calculate

Maximum payment per member = $25 × 1 meeting per month

  1. Decide how many meetings the board has in a month.
  2. Pick only 1 meeting to pay members for.
  3. Pay each member $25 for that one meeting.

A recreation board meets 3 times in October.

Result: Each member gets $25 for 1 meeting, even though there were 3 meetings.
