Rules Committee recommends reappointments to Ballot Simplification Committee to improve voter materials
Summary
The committee forwarded three reappointments — June Fraps, Betty Packard and Adele Fasig — to the full Board, citing experience writing voter materials and improving ballot clarity for voters.
The Rules Committee unanimously moved to forward three reappointments to the Ballot Simplification Committee to the full Board with recommendation.
Chair Jane Kim introduced the item and asked each candidate to speak briefly. June Fraps said she had served "for, I believe, 6 years" and emphasized her journalism background and desire to make ballot materials more accessible. Betty Packard, a long‑time committee member who said she began serving in 1997 and has chaired sessions, stressed the committee's role in writing the voter handbook and ballot explanations to be understandable to average voters. Adele Fasig described her appointment by the League of Women Voters and her background as a library educator with experience about reading levels for children and young adults.
There was no public comment on this item. The committee moved to forward the three candidates with recommendation to the full board.
The matter will appear on the Board calendar on the date the clerk sets for confirmation.
