§ 103113 Board Member Compensation Limits

This law says board members can be paid up to $100 for each meeting they attend, but they can't get more than $400 total in any month, and they also get back any real costs they have while doing their job.

Key Takeaways

•Board members can be paid $100 for each meeting they go to.
•The most they can get in one month is $400, no matter how many meetings they attend.
•They can also be reimbursed for real costs like travel or supplies.

Example

A board member goes to three board meetings and two committee meetings in one month.

They would normally earn $100 for each of the five meetings, which is $500, but the law caps the monthly pay at $400, so they get $400 plus any receipts for travel or supplies.

How to Calculate

Total Pay = min(Number of Meetings × $100, $400)

Count how many meetings (board + committee) the member attended in the month.
Multiply that number by $100.
If the result is more than $400, set the total pay to $400. Otherwise, keep the calculated amount.
Add back any actual necessary expenses the member proved with receipts.

Member attends 6 meetings in a month.

Result: 6 × $100 = $600, but the cap is $400, so the member receives $400 plus any documented expenses.

Each member of the board shall receive compensation, as determined by the board, in an amount not to exceed one hundred dollars ($100) for attending each meeting of the board and each committee meeting, but not to exceed four hundred dollars ($400) in any month, and shall receive his or her actual necessary expenses incurred in the performance of his or her duty. (Amended by Stats. 1999, Ch. 724, Sec. 10. Effective January 1, 2000.)
