My neighbors get at least a stipend to sit on a numbered CDD board, I suspect the ARC members do as well.

Community Standards, under which the ARC exists, has a budget of $700,000 for salary and wages. Either their four staff members are very highly paid or the 22 members of the ARC (including alternates) receive some consideration for their time.

EDIT: I heard a more official discussion of the ARC members being volunteers. This discussion about reimbursing them for mileage to attend ARC meetings leads me to believe the ARC representatives from the CDDs do not receive money from the salary and wages line. So the committee members are volunteers and the $700,000 goes to others within Community Standards.
