7.  Motion from Tracy Rosenburg:<br />
The PNB directs the Executive Director to hire a National Election Supervisor as an independent contractor for the 2010<br />
Pacifica LSB elections. The ED is encouraged to interview any candidates with previous LES experience with the<br />
foundation election process. For the 2010 election, the NES is strongly encouraged to explore using the station websites<br />
for the display of candidate information, and to print and mail full packages with the booklet, instead of just ballots<br />
with return envelopes, to only those voters who request them.<br />
<br />
The ED is further instructed to work collaboratively with the Election Committeee to develop an RFP for a vendor<br />
contract that would be in effect for the 2012-2013 elections and would include research on online voting options for the<br />
foundations and/or other measures to reduce costs by at least 25% while maintaining a transparent and secure process.<br />
The 2010 Elections Committee is charged with developing the RFP to a completed state so that in 2011, a thorough<br />
multi-bid competitive process can be engaged in and a contractor in place by no later than 12/2011 for the ensuing<br />
2-year election cycle.<br />
