b. Metro – Conversation around several topics including the javelin being thrown at League meets and how schools can qualify kids in these events.
c. Emerald City – Several schools are concerned about enrollment concerns and will be waiting to determine fall/spring soccer participation until next school year. The league turned down an amendment to have a multi-classification (1A/2B) league for now.

e. Middle School – Snoqualmie school district still deciding on what to do with middle school sports for next year.
C. Approval of 2009-2010 Sea-King Budget. Marilyn reviewed the budget with the board. Marilyn informed the board that the WIAA has suggested that we add L&I to the budget and pay that for our tournament workers. Budget M/S/P with L&I included.
D. Review Sea-King District Documents. Tom, Pat , Gill & Luke met an hour early to discuss the documents. Most changes were editorial – change of dates, change of WIAA citations. We also suggested several changes to the pay scale for the tournament workers. There are two stipends for workers to change in the track section. M/S/P to approve changes.
E. Delegates to 2009-2010 Spring Rep Assembly. M/S/P to approve delegates – same as last year.
F. Mileage Reimbursement for 2008-2009 Executive Board Meetings. Checks in the mail!
G. 3A Basketball – The Metro League asked the board to reconsider its decision to use home sites for the loser’s bracket second round. The board determined to leave it as we decided at the previous meeting. We will have the first round at home sites next year, as well as the loser’s bracket second round. The second round winner’s bracket will be held at BCC as well as all the remaining games.
H. Forfeits in Playoffs. Metro had a philosophical discussion about a team that forfeits a round of a double elimination tournament. Should they be allowed to continue in the tournament? Tom was directed to ask WIAA and the surrounding districts to see how they would handle this situation.
I. Athletic Codes – Gill asked about school/league policies about drug/alcohol violations. WIAA has indicated that legend and controlled substances must follow WIAA guidelines. Schools need to review their Athletic Codes and separate Alcohol and Tobacco from the others. Use of the “controlled substances” like marijuana, for example, there is a three step program. Please read this section in the WIAA handbook (18.26.0) to make sure that your school’s athletic code is in alignment with the WIAA policy.
J. Joint Metro/Kingco Meeting – June 15, 10am at Newport.
7. Sea-King District 2 Executive Director Report: Tom & Marilyn Doyle
A. Correspondence. None.
B. Spring District Tournament/Play-Off Financial Report. The “to date” figures in the budget reflect the information that we have today on the spring tournaments. We are still waiting for the final bills for several sports and for the soccer distributions from the other districts.
C. Web Site: www.wiaa.com/dist2. We will be moving to a new site for our website. The WIAA has informed us that they will no longer allow our website to be hosted on the WIAA website. They have security concerns that require us to find another provider.
