   Candidate Statements:

   • On May 30, 2001, Director Connor met with Karen Osborne, Maricopa County Elections Director, and Jill Kennedy, County Attorney's Office, to discuss the development of a procedure for candidate statements. The meeting was in preparation of the annual County Recorders meeting on June 7, 2001.
   • In March, Jill Collins had sent a letter to all County Recorders requesting them to consider the development of a procedure to mail the candidate statements with the early and sample ballots.
   • Because Maricopa County feels that it will be impossible to place candidate statements in the early and sample ballots, Osborne and Kennedy suggested that the Commission do a separate brochure for each legislative district to include all the statewide offices and that particular district.
   • The Executive Director will attend the June 7, 2001 Annual County Recorders meeting to discuss the matter with all of the counties.
   • Colleen Connor will report the consensus of all counties to the Commission at its next meeting, June 19, 2001.

   Debates:

   • The State Procurement Office has finalized the Request for Proposal (RFP).
   • The RFP will be provided to the Commission at the next Commission meeting for the Commission's consideration and approval.
   • At that time, we will also consider the committee to review the bids. The bids from those interested in sponsoring the debates must remain confidential except from those serving on the selection committee. Therefore, one consideration is whether one of the Commissioners would like to serve on the selection committee which will be a big time commitment, or delegate the selection to staff.

   Budget:

   • The lobbyist fee enforcement responses are continuing to be received by the office. To date, the Commission has received approximately $24,000 from the enforcement.
   • The fund will reach $9 million dollars by the end of this month and $10 Million by the end of next month due to the success of the $5 tax check-off campaign.
   • Mark Osterloh wrote a letter concerning the amount of money the fund will have in 2002. Because we do not know how many candidates there will be and our projections of the number of candidates show that there will be enough money, it appears too early to reconsider the campaign fund projections for 2002.

   Rules:

   • The final set of rules for consideration are the substantive amendments to Article 1.
