There was some discussion regarding the bar cards as far as raising the price to $15, however the consensus was that we have a good thing going lets not change it if it is working.
New Business
League Structure – this topic was discussed on the agenda as we weren’t sure if the State was going to make any changes to team classifications. As none were done at the State meeting we are tabling this topic and setting up a tentative meeting for Nov. 26th, 2012 if our league experiences any changes following the State meeting in November.
Officer elections for this up coming year, are for the North President and the League Secretary/Treasurer. The incumbents, Denis Campbell (Pres) and Jason Kuerschner (Sec/Tres) both indicated that they were willing to run again. Jeff Kohls (New Germany) moved to have a white ballot for both officer positions, thereby re-electing the two incumbents for the next two year term. Aaron Schultz (Winsted) seconded the motion and the motion carried.
The next item of business was to form the scheduling committee for the upcoming 2013 season, League VP Neil Schlagel will be the officer included in this committee as well as Brandon Stender (Young America), Doug Schuette (Brownton), Aaron Schultz (Winsted) and Dennis Zabel (St. Boni). They will set up a time to meet and work out the schedule prior to the January Meeting, and have the tentative schedule presented at that time. In addition they requested that any teams with special dates for games please provide those to the committee prior to Nov. 30th.
Our League Insurance was discussed as we are currently getting coverage for 6 months starting April 1st thru Sept 30th. Do we want to change that time frame or look to extend the time of coverage. The league secretary was instructed to contact our rep Bob Krie about different options and re-discuss this topic at the January meeting.
Region sites – do we want to have the proposals for future hosts to be decided upon by the Region Board. There was discussion on this topic with no motions presented but the general consensus was to continue with the league reps determining the host sites. However the Region Board would need to come up with a set of Criteria that the potential hosting teams would need to address in their proposals. These criteria would need to be presented at the January meeting when the clubs would be announcing their plans to host the region tournament. This would allow them to include those items in their proposals that will be presented at the March League meeting.
The next item of business was in reference to the league Constitution/By-Laws. After much searching we have finally located a copy of the old Constitution. However, there is a need to update some outdated and revised items from this old version. Jeff Kohls (New Germany) motioned and Aaron Schultz (Winsted) seconded that the league officers should work on those updates and corrections to present to the league at the January meeting, motion carried.
The next meeting will be January 14th, 2013 at Dubb’s Grill & Bar in Glencoe at 7:00 pm.
There being no other business Dennis Zabel (St. Boni), moved to adjourn, Jeff Kohls (New Germany) seconded, motion carried. Meeting adjourned at 8:16 pm.
