Secretary’s Report

The minutes were presented for the June 6, 2005 meeting.  These were distributed to the board members in advance of the July meeting. 

Action Items

2 Representatives are needed for State Competition Board from each District.  John J. went to the meeting regarding this matter.  He said that it was not conclusive about who was to be represented.  Questions were raised from audience about concerns for who should serve – a rep for Independent teams and a rep for clubs was their suggestion.  We decided to continue using Mat and Rocco who are already going.  If in the future, needs change, we can also change those positions.

Lee Taylor resigned today…  Martin Villegas served as a temporary representative for league 17.

Much discussion took place about independent team representation.

Discussion resulted from positions being available on district level.  30-day notice will be sent out concerning the vice-chair position.

Premier Club League – Dave Woolley spoke in favor of PCL.  There was a great discussion from audience. 

Martin V. proposed a motion to vote to retract the PCL movement.  Ann H. 2^nd that motion.  There were 2 yes, 2 no, and 2 abstention votes.  John G. had the deciding vote.  This movement was voted to be retracted, with the condition that the state continues to work on appropriate changes.

The boys and girls alignment meeting will be held July 27^th.

Fields:  Eastmont – yes (could use for Ben’s program)

            Albion – have to go to school to talk with them.  Only 2 fields available this year

            Crescent – yes, all fields

We need 2 sets of goals for Albion.  We already have 1 set.

John J. moved to purchase 1 set of goals for Albion at $3500 and another to have on hold for $3500.  Ann 2^nd that motion.  This motion passed unanimously.  John L. will purchase this.

Martin will talk with Albion about fields.

We need a new maintenance contract for John L.  Boyd moved that we make a full year contract with the same terms as has been in the past.  Ann H. 2^nd that motion.  It passed unanimously.

John L. could set up a schedule for volunteers to help.

District III needs a new place to meet especially if people are coming to be a part of the say.

Ann moved to adjourn and Boyd 2^nd that motion.

Next meeting August 15^th, 2005 at 8pm
