Section § 2851
Members of the district board are appointed by the board of supervisors and serve at their discretion. They don't get a salary but can be reimbursed for travel and other necessary expenses while doing their official duties. Instead of detailing individual expenses, the board can choose to give up to $100 per meeting to cover such expenses. However, these reimbursements must comply with specific government codes related to expenses.
The members of the district board shall hold office at the pleasure of the board of supervisors. They shall serve without compensation, but shall be allowed their necessary traveling and other expenses incurred in performance of their official duties. In lieu of expenses, the district board may, by resolution, provide for the allowance and payment to each member of the board of a sum not exceeding one hundred dollars ($100) as expenses incurred in attending each business meeting of the board. Reimbursement for these expenses is subject to Sections 53232.2 and 53232.3 of the Government Code.
