	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 671, Cox  Plumas County Flood Control and Water Conservation
District: board of directors.
   Existing law, the Plumas County Flood Control and Water
Conservation District Act, establishes the Plumas County Flood
Control and Water Conservation District and requires the Plumas
County Board of Supervisors to serve ex officio as the board of
directors of the district. The act requires the members of the board
of supervisors to serve as directors on the board of the district
without compensation.
   This bill would authorize the board of directors to receive
compensation, with a certain exception and subject to a specified
limit, for performing duties as a director on that board.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:


  SECTION 1.  Section 9 of the Plumas County Flood Control and Water
Conservation District Act (Chapter 2114 of the Statutes of 1959) is
amended to read:

and it is hereby designated as, and empowered to act as, ex officio

of the district enumerated in this act, except as otherwise provided,
and may perform all other acts necessary or proper in their
discretion to accomplish the purpose of this act.
   (b) The board of directors may adopt and enforce reasonable rules
and regulations for the administration and government of the district
and facilitate the exercise of its powers and duties set forth in
this act and may employ and fix the compensation of all necessary
agents and employees to look after the performance of any work or
improvements provided in this act.
   (c) (1) Each member of the board of directors shall be allowed his
or her actual, necessary, and reasonable expenses incurred in
carrying out his or her duties under this act.
   (2) (A) Subject to subparagraph (B), the members of the board of
directors may receive compensation as provided by Chapter 2

   (B) Members shall not be compensated for any meeting held on the
same day as a meeting of the board of supervisors.
   (d) The directors shall elect a chairperson, who shall preside at
all meetings of the board and in case of his or her absence or
inability to act, the members present shall, by an order entered in
their minutes, select one of their members to act as chairperson
temporarily.
   (e) Any member of the board may administer oaths when necessary in
the performance of his or her official duties.  A majority of the
members of the board shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of
business, and no act of the board shall be valid or binding unless a
majority of the board members concur.
