230908 CNPA Bd Paper 7 Annex 1 Board Fee Policy Review

This document contains a review of the Cairngorms National Park Authority's Board Fees Policy. In 2019, a revised policy was agreed upon to allow members to gain extra days through volunteering and offset missed days with additional work. The current review proposes increasing the base day allocation to 32 days to include community meeting attendance, removing top-up payments for Community Council meetings, increasing the attendance threshold to 90% with automatic deductions for non-authorised absences, and creating a new list of appointments to external and internal groups. The committee is asked to agree to these revisions.
