"I suppose the idea is to reimburse somewhat for costs involved.
I don't have a problem with that as long as it's kept to a minimum.
I'd have a problem with that if it was like the city of Bell. You
have to have people who are willing to give to the community. By
that, I mean giving your time and expertise."
— Noel Stetson, board member, Lockeford Community Services
District
"People would be surprised how much time they spend on the
district's business. Depending on the issue, it can be an
exorbitant amount of time."
— Mike Henry, board president, Lockeford Community Services
District
"I think that's all right if the district can afford it, if it
doesn't hinder getting equipment. It's sort of a thank you for
coming out and doing your job.
— Ray Engel, board member, Clements Rural Fire
District
"There are certain things you have to be involved in. As far as
hours I put in, it's a lot more than (the stipend) I'm getting.
— Doug Colucci, board president, Woodbridge Sanitary
District
"Anyone who runs based on the remuneration they get, they're
running for the wrong reason. I don't believe it's necessary
because I don't believe that people should be doing it for the
money."
— Glenda Wall, board member, Woodbridge Sanitary
District

Local special district pay is modest, but varied
By Ross Farrow
News-Sentinel Staff Writer

Directors of special districts in the Lodi area receive
generally modest compensation, but the amount can vary quite a bit
from district to district, according to a News-Sentinel survey.
Rural communities outside Lodi and Galt are too small to have a
city government, so many have fire, water and other districts with
an elected board of directors.
