[LPL Board of Directors] Performance Based Pay amendment to Executive Director contract

[Adrien Monteleone]

I'm proposing the following amendment to add a section to Wendy's contract as 
follows:

Performance based pay

$1 (one dollar)per registered voter in excess of 8,000 before 1/1/14.  Payment 
to be made quarterly after the initial threshold has been surpassed, and upon 
calculation of the number of net new voters per the official list purchased 
from the Secretary of State's office.

$5 (five dollars) per new annual dues paying member who attended a successful 
parish organizing caucus.  Payment to be made quarterly after accurate filing 
of all required paperwork evidencing the caucus, as members sign up and 
payment is received from Piryx, that match the attendance roster.


This will work to provide incentive towards three goals, increased voter 
registration, increase in organized parishes, and increased funding.

The voter registration funding would require only a small percentage of those 
new voters to sign up as dues paying members to break even. (about 2-5%)

The second incentive is really geared towards both organizing new parishes, 
and bringing in new members as a result of that effort. It would pay for 
itself, since she only gets a bonus if she gets new members.

Thus each quarter, on or about the second pay check (to allow for 
calculations) we would issue her a bonus payment for the amount earned 
according to these two criteria.

These criteria I think are fair for the effort required, and provide her the 
means to earn more if she works harder with no upper limit. (and it would all 
be "paid for" since it is tied to new memberships)

In other states where petition drives are held to secure signatures for ballot 
access, $1-$2 is the typical incentive pay for valid signatures.  However, 
petition signatures generally do not rely on people changing party 
affiliation.  Since this is a much harder goal, but we do not yet know how 
much work is involved, I think $1 per new LP voter is a reasonable start.

The above proposal would offer no upper limit, but as an example, she would 
qualify for $6,000 for reaching our registration goal of 14,000. This would 
require in a worst case scenario, 300 new members, or 5% of those 6000 voters 
to sign up.  Considering we are now contacting new voters within a short time 
span of their registration to get them active, this should be achievable.

Also, the proposal above would allow her to qualify for significantly more 
also with no upper limit and do so only by bringing new money into the 
treasury to pay for it.  If she were to form 25 PECs with only the minimum 
number of members/officers and got each to sign up as an LPL member, she would 
qualify for an additional $750.  Of course, that would be a minimum, she could 
earn much more if she brings in more.

While I think 10,000 voters is a more likely result, 25 parishes is not out of 
reach.  She's already a few months away from 10 and is almost ready to begin 
the next batch.

I think giving her the room to effectively decide how much she wants to earn 
this year and tying that extra amount to her bringing it in to pay for it, 
will achieve the results we are looking for.


Thus I am asking for your votes, and/or amendments/discussion/questions on the 
above Motion to Amend.

(no second is required)
