4. Discussion and possible action to recommend that the Commission 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 a great difficulty in attracting new members to serve. The requirement calls for services on 12 consecutive days, which is a burden. Some form of compensation may help attract new members.
