Bill > AB1141

This bill modifies the governance and election process for the Alameda-Contra Costa Transit District by eliminating at-large directors and requiring all seven directors to be elected from specific wards. Currently, the district has seven total directors, with two elected at-large and five from individual wards, but this bill changes the structure so that all seven directors will be elected from wards. The bill specifies new terms of office for directors elected in the November 2026 and 2028 statewide general elections, with subsequent terms beginning on the first Monday after January 1st following their election. The bill also updates the compensation rules for directors, allowing the board to adjust monthly compensation (currently capped at $1,000) based on the California Consumer Price Index for the previous calendar year, with any adjustment taking effect at the start of the next fiscal year. Additionally, the bill maintains existing attendance-based compensation rules, where directors can receive a monthly stipend if they attend all scheduled board meetings, with deductions for missed committee meetings. The bill includes a provision that if the Commission on State Mandates determines it imposes state-mandated costs, those costs would be reimbursed according to existing statutory procedures.
