Findings 3 findings
F2
Any link to compensation data on an agency's website that takes more than 5 minutes or three clicks from the home page to locate, does not reasonably satisfy the intent of the Government Code that the information be easily located and "conspicuous" on the agency's website. The District has redesigned its website to allow for a single mouse click to directly access compensation, which exceeds the requested requirement.
F3
Any link to publicpay.ca.gov on an agency's website that fails to go directly to the agency's current compensation data on that website does not satisfy the intent of the Government Code that information be easily located. The embedded link to publicpay.ca.gov now directly accesses the District's compensation data with no additional inputs required.
F5
Regarding detailed disclosure of total compensation paid, most agencies do not break out all components of compensation paid to their elected officials, including salary, meeting fees or stipends, (including compensation for serving as liaison to other advisory committees, councils and forums), reimbursements, health and retirement benefits, and other benefits such as equipment. The District has embedded a table of relevant compensation and reimbursement data on the compensation tab for all elected officials, with each listed individually.
