As following provision of the UMRWA Joint Powers Authority agreement addresses Board compensation and reimbursement. The Authority has no compensation policy or procedure with respect to employees because it has no employees. It does reimburse contracted consultants for direct costs associated with and necessitated by authorized work.

Section 5.2 Governing Board. 

Each Director (and his or her alternate) shall serve at the pleasure of the governing body by whom such Director (or his or her alternate) was appointed. No Director shall receive any compensation from the Authority for serving as such, but shall be entitled to reimbursement for any expenses actually incurred in connection with serving as a Director if the Board determines that such expenses shall be reimbursed and there are unencumbered funds available for such purpose.
