TCWD's customers have a right to expect the highest level of transparency when dealing with both the Board of Directors and District staff on any issue that pertains to District business. Additionally, it is our goal to ensure compensation information will become easier to find, and that District customers understand the value of the services we provide.

TCWD provides water, sewer, recycled water, and urban runoff services to approximately 4,100 customers. The District is governed by a five member publicly elected Board of Directors which is responsible for the District's rules, regulations, and policies. The General Manager is the District's chief executive and is responsible for the daily operations of the organization. These responsibilities include the management of a staff of twenty-one full-time employees. For more information about our financials, an updated list of audited financials and adopted budgets are available at following page.

TCWD's Board of Directors meets on the third Thursday of each month at 5:30 p.m. at the District's Main Office.  All Board Member and employee compensation, which includes salaries and benefits, are reviewed and adopted by the Board of Directors in a public meeting process where our customers always have an opportunity to review and comment. The public is encouraged to attend these meetings.

In addition, TCWD fully complies with the specific requirements of the Political Reform Act (financial interests and decision making), Government Code Section 1090 (contracts), the Ralph M. Brown Act (open meetings), and AB 1234 (compensation, expense reimbursement and ethics training). These policy and statutory requirements are designed to ensure transparency and ethical behavior by water district officials.

TCWD's total employee compensation, including health benefits (which includes medical, dental, vision and life insurance), is approved annually by the Board of Directors at the regular Board Meeting scheduled for the month of June. TCWD's Operating Budget is reviewed by the Finance/Audit, Engineering/Operational, and Executive Committees during the month of June, as well.

TCWD Board of Directors has not increased their stipends in more than twenty years. Currently, Board Directors receive a per diem stipend of $125.00 per meeting per month, not to exceed ten meetings per month or more than one meeting per day.  Additionally, Board Members and employees receive a benchmarked amount for insurance benefits which is reviewed annually. The General Manager's performance and compensation contract is reviewed on an annual basis by the Board of Directors, and is available for review at the California State Controller's website.
