AGENDA

 

August 17, 2004

City Hall, Room 421

1 Dr. Carlton B. Goodlett Place

 

Order of Business:

 

  1. Call to Order, Flag Salute and Roll Call.

 

  1. Public comment on items appearing or not appearing on the agenda that are within the jurisdiction of the Budget and Policy Committee.

 

3.         Discussion and possible action to approve the minutes for the Budget and Policy Committee meeting of June 15, 2004.

 

4.         Update by Commissioner Gerard Gleason on the status of the survey of California Counties regarding their opinion on eliminating newspaper postings of poll workers and polling places and substituting website postings.  By not publishing in newspapers, the Department of Elections could see a $10,000 to $15,000 savings.

 

5.         Discussion and possible action to recommend to the full Commission should seek compensation from the State for the impact of Fair Political Practices Committee (FPPC) filings on the San Francisco Department of Elections.

 

6.         Discussion and possible action to ask the Commission to recommend some form

of compensation, per diem or stipend, for members of the Ballot Simplification

            Committee (BSC) to the Board of Supervisors.   The BSC has barely had a quorum each meeting for the last 3 years and there is great difficulty in attracting new members to serve.  The requirement calls for service on 12 consecutive days, which is a burden.  Some form of compensation may help attract new members.

 

7.         Update of the budget process and the progress of items passed by the Commission and recommended to the Board of Supervisors.

 

8.         Discussion and possible action to prepare a certificate or purchase a memento in recognition of the outstanding service of Commissioner Robert Kenealey.

 

9.         Public comments on items appearing or not appearing on the agenda that are

           within the jurisdiction of the Budget and Policy Committee.
