August Minutes were approved.

Committee Reports:

Admin/Registrar: Report was sent to board members by email (attached). There were no questions or comments regarding the report.

 

Micro: Suzanne and Sue presented report on Micro program. Sue asked that volunteers to do much of the Micro program come from competitive parents. She stated that in order for Micro program to run, she needs a certain amount of volunteers, and that she will not do the program without that help.

Suzanne questioned why certain individual coaches had not been personally contacted about the vacant DOC position.

 

Head Coach: in the absence of a head coach, the report was given by Bill R. There was an ad in last Sunday’s paper for the DOC position, and will be in the paper again on Thursday. It is also posted on the website. Deadline for applications is September 14th.

The fall program has four coaches with five teams training. The program should show some slight profit to carry forward into the spring.

Coach recruitment-there will be a survey at the annual meeting given to parents, asking their opinion on parent coaching.

Approved unanimously, $150 to be paid for any coach attending D License Clinic.

 

Budget: Terri was not available for tonight’s meeting. Bill and Kerry will meet with Terri on Friday. There will be a possibility of a special meeting, or email vote to approve the 2006 operating budget. Also approved: an increase in fees for the 2006 season. What the increase will be will be determined following Friday’s meeting.

 

Facilities: Russ stated that there is not enough storage room for everything out at Bronken. He asked that the club purchase a new line painter, with an estimated cost of $1500. Pending new budget, the consensus was to approve the purchase of a new painter.

Russ stated that he would resign from the board effective following the December board meeting. He did, however, say that he would be willing to stay on as field director.

 

Policy: No report

 

President: No Report

 

Scholarship: Adopt new policy and language. Application due by Dec. 1, and parent(s) will receive a reply by Dec. 15th. All players must pay the initial $50 registration fee.

 

Volunteers fees were discussed at length. The difficulty of having parents volunteer has been an on-going problem. Motion passed to increase volunteer fees to 10 hours of work or $100 fee. At registration, parents will be asked to write a post-dated check for June 30, 2006 for $100. Once a family has completed 10 hours of volunteer time, the check will be returned to them. Time worked will be pro-rated at $10 and hour. There will be some kind of card available for each family to record their time, and only certain people will be able to sign off of the cards. All of these details are yet to be worked out.

 

Team tryouts were discussed. It is the clubs goal to have all players evaluated prior to being placed on a team. Evaluations will be scheduled and handled by the DOC.

 

No further discussion.

 

Meeting adjourned at 10:00 pm.
