October 11 Ms. Olson was a guest lecturer at a William Mitchell Law School class on Legislative Advocacy, leading a discussion on lobbyist registration, reporting, the prohibition on gifts, and campaign finance provisions of Chapter 10A.
October 16 Mr. Nesbitt conducted a training class on Finance 98 for four clients.

Miscellaneous
The Lobbyist Disbursement Summary and the Boards Annual Report for fiscal year 2000 were available for Board members
Resolution on Public Subsidy Payment
Ms. Paulys MOTION: Move adoption of the following resolution:
Resolved that the Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board ratifies the administrative action of the Jeanne Olson, Executive
Director, to make a public subsidy payment on September 26, 2000, to Debra Hilstrom.
The administrative action was needed because during the physical audit of files of candidates who qualify for public subsidy payments, Board staff was not able to locate a Public Subsidy Agreement for Ms. Hilstrom. The following evidence indicates that Ms. Hilstrom did sign a Public Subsidy Agreement:
The candidate database maintained by the Board shows that Ms. Hilstrom did file a public subsidy Agreement on March 2, 2000. Ms. Hilstrom recalls filling out the Public Subsidy Agreement in the Boards office in order to receive Political Contribution Receipt (PCR) books. The Board issued Ms. Hilstrom PCR books. PCR books are only issued to candidates that have a Public Subsidy Agreement on file with the Board. The documents filed with the Board by candidates are public information. The public frequently inspects the candidate files. There is a significant opportunity for documents to be lost or misfiled after they are submitted to the Board.Ms. Hilstrom was notified of the missing Public Subsidy Agreement on September 24, 2000. She submitted a replacement Agreement on September 26, 2000.
Vote on MOTION: Unanimously passed.
Common Cause Roundtable on Election Law Simplification (see September 21 minutes)
Ms. Olson reported on the first of three meetings to be held on election law simplification. She asked Board members if they wanted to make a formal recommendation to Common Cause on the issue. The Board agreed that the 1997 Board recommendation to the legislature would continue to be the Boards stand on the issue (see copy of recommendation attached).
