Financials:
Same balance as we had last month and we’ve not spent any money ($6155.67)
Agenda Items:
1. Update on team submitting info (player credential form, rosters etc.): All teams have submitted their paperwork. Reminder – for any new players or add-ons, we (the Board) need the player credential forms and the roster for that player(s). No new appeals – all previous appeals are closed.
2. Status of 2nd half schedules: From what we’ve seen all divisions have arranged for this electronically.
3. Status on Foosa vs. Jodi Burke. Formal complaint is closed. Participant got the check as requested.
4. Reviewed the standings to determine if any teams need to move up or down: Carrie shared the stats. Statistics don’t show any clear issue for movements. No disagreement amongst the teams/divisions present.
5. Joanne brought the Board up to date on Chiefs/Spitfire financial agreement. The Spitfire team has repaid the Chiefs.
6. Review Ruicci cup referee info, verify process and next steps: Carol reviewed the officiating bid process and the Request for Proposal form. Deadline is January 8th and bids will be opened at our meeting on January 11th.
7. Ruicci Cup playoff update: Any updates? Kerri brought the prize information. Joanne to look for what our budget was last year. Coolers at 160 units for Ruicci (plus shipping and setup) would equal $1258.80. Umbrellas are $1559.20. Chairs are $3142. Also some discussion about divisions and what would be appropriate numbers. If teams wanted items they could pre-order and then Kerri could make sure they were ready for the teams when they arrived at Ruicci. Orders would need 3 week lead time. BOD can mull over choices and decide final Ruicci choices at February meeting. Teams coming to Ruicci will have to have put their money in by February 1st.
Silent Auction, Raffle prizes need to be solicited ASAP – volunteers, offerings willingly accepted!
8. Remind teams to:
Submit player credential forms and add on rosters when you add a player.
Notify schedulers of schedule changes.
Notify president, statistician and division director of game misconducts.
Please! Check the score sheets ****before**** you leave the ice with the officials.
This information will be sent out to Division directors in addition to being a part of the minutes of this meeting.
9. The 2011 Nationals will be in Michigan - Rochester/Macomb.
10. Karen Lundgren as an honoree at the Ruicci Cup: Carrie to contact Karen to confirm about dates, times, etc.
11. Goody Two Shoes – formally requested that Terri Kettler’s appeal be re-re-viewed. Some discussion about whether a doctor’s note is sufficient “new” information to have it go back out to the teams. Process itself may have been flawed – misinformation of one email may have affected the votes? It seemed that the key information was the comment that the team had multiple higher-level players when, in fact, they did not. Team requests that the Board review the process. Board agrees that they will look at the timing of the original appeal documentation and assess if there were any flaws in the process. The Board will attempt to do this review within the next week (or two).
Movement to adjourn at 8:24 p.m. (Mason moved, Gee 2nd)
