BOT 17.0 - Board of Trustees Stipend :SUMMARY/SCOPE Washington state law and Office of Financial Management (OFM) policies authorize Edmonds College Board of Trustees members to receive compensation and/or reimbursement for meetings and associated travel expenses while conducting college business. This policy clarifies how Board members will be compensated for meetings, and how Board members will be reimbursed for travel. DESCRIPTION Classification State law divides boards, commissions, and councils into five classes for the purposes of compensation. As described in the State Administrative and Accounting Manual (SAAM) section 10.70.30, the Board of Trustees is classified as "other." "other" – Any part-time board, commission, council, or committee not covered by RCW 43.03.230, 43.03.240, 43.03.250, or 43.03.265, but established by either the executive, legislative or judicial branch to participate in state government. These members have rulemaking authority, perform quasi-judicial functions, have responsibility for the administration or policy direction of a state agency or program, or perform regulatory or licensing functions with respect to a specific profession, occupation, business, or industry. Compensation for Meetings State law provides for members of boards, commissions, and councils serving without compensation to receive a special per diem rate (RCW 43.03.050) for time spent conducting official business. The Board of Trustees must determine whether or not its members will be compensated for attending meetings. At Edmonds College, the Board policy is that only the Student Trustee as defined in RCW 28B.50.102 shall receive compensation for attendance at Board meetings. If the Student Trustee is currently receiving, or may receive in the future, financial aid, they are encouraged to meet with a Financial Aid Services Advisor to gain additional information as to whether it would be in their best interest as the Student Trustee to receive or decline the Board stipend. Travel Reimbursement The OFM articulates travel reimbursement policies and processes in its SAAM. All members of the Board of Trustees will receive reimbursement for travel on college business, the same as college employees. Annual Review At the June Board meeting of each year, the Board of Trustees will review the per diem rate for the coming academic year. RCW 28B.50.102 Boards of trustees—Student trustee.
