Alameda-Contra Costa Transit District: board of directors: election: compensation.
- Restructures the transit district board to seven ward-based directors, eliminating at-large positions.
- Allows candidates to submit a $150 filing fee instead of collecting 50 voter signatures for nomination.
- Adjusts director compensation based on annual Consumer Price Index changes at start of fiscal year.
- Requires directors to attend all monthly board meetings to receive their full $1,000 monthly stipend.
Assembly Member Lee's proposal to restructure the Alameda-Contra Costa Transit District board would eliminate at-large directorships in favor of ward-based representation. Under the legislation, all seven board positions would be elected from individual wards, with directors required to reside in the areas they represent.
The bill modifies nomination procedures by allowing candidates to either gather 50 voter signatures from their ward or pay a $150 filing fee. It establishes specific term dates for directors elected in 2026 and 2028, with future terms beginning on the first Monday after January 1 following each election. The legislation also revises the board's compensation framework, permitting annual adjustments based on the previous year's California Consumer Price Index, with changes taking effect at the start of the next fiscal year rather than after elections.
Directors' monthly stipends of up to $1,000 would be contingent on attendance at scheduled board meetings, with $100 deductions for missed committee meetings. The bill allows up to two excused absences annually without affecting stipend eligibility and maintains provisions for reimbursement of necessary travel and personal expenses incurred in performing official duties.
