Key Takeaways

  • Authorizes Orange County to increase retirement board member compensation from $100 to $320 per meeting.
  • Limits compensation increases to a maximum of five meetings per month for eligible board members.
  • Requires the Board of Retirement to approve any compensation rate increases.

Summary

Assembly Member Chen's proposal to modify compensation rates for Orange County retirement and investment board members would authorize increases from $100 to $320 per meeting. The change would apply specifically to fourth and fifth board members, as well as sixth, eighth, ninth, and alternate retired members in counties with nine-member boards. For boards of investments, the modification would affect compensation for fifth through ninth members.

The measure maintains the existing five-meeting monthly maximum while limiting the increased compensation authority to Orange County, designated as a county of the second class. The bill's findings cite unique local circumstances as the basis for this county-specific approach rather than a broader statewide policy. Under the proposed framework, Orange County's Board of Retirement would hold discretionary authority to implement compensation adjustments up to the new maximum rate.
