Assemblymember Lee's legislation restructures the Alameda-Contra Costa Transit District board by eliminating at-large positions in favor of ward-based representation, with all seven directors to be elected from specific geographic districts. The measure modifies nomination requirements, allowing candidates to either gather 50 ward-specific voter signatures or pay a $150 filing fee to appear on the ballot.
The bill establishes new term schedules for directors, with those elected in November 2026 serving from December 5, 2026, to January 6, 2031, and those elected in November 2028 serving from December 1, 2028, to January 3, 2033. After January 2033, all director terms will begin on the first Monday following January 1 after their election.
Director compensation provisions now permit the board to adjust monthly stipends based on the previous year's California Consumer Price Index, with changes taking effect at the start of the next fiscal year. The measure maintains the current $1,000 monthly maximum compensation while instituting attendance requirements - directors must attend all scheduled regular board meetings to receive their full stipend, with $100 deductions for missed committee meetings. The board may authorize up to two excused absences annually without affecting compensation eligibility.
