7. Motion from Tracy Rosenburg:
The PNB directs the Executive Director to hire a National Election Supervisor as an independent contractor for the 2010 Pacifica LSB elections. The ED is encouraged to interview any candidates with previous LES experience with the foundation election process. For the 2010 election, the NES is strongly encouraged to explore using the station websites for the display of candidate information, and to print and mail full packages with the booklet, instead of just ballots with return envelopes, to only those voters who request them.

The ED is further instructed to work collaboratively with the Election Committeee to develop an RFP for a vendor contract that would be in effect for the 2012-2013 elections and would include research on online voting options for the foundations and/or other measures to reduce costs by at least 25% while maintaining a transparent and secure process. The 2010 Elections Committee is charged with developing the RFP to a completed state so that in 2011, a thorough multi-bid competitive process can be engaged in and a contractor in place by no later than 12/2011 for the ensuing 2-year election cycle.
