MEETING MINUTES
Tuesday, October 8, 2007
Meeting called to order 6:30 pm., Room 4, Randolph Center, Randolph Park.
Present: Pat Dunham (President), Detlef Lange (Vice President), Charlene McConnell (Treasurer), Cathy Nicholson (Secretary), Jeff Welliver (Communications Commissioner), Shari Myoraku (District II, Registrar), Rob LaMaster (CDO), William Biagi (VSC), Rich Balcer (AZ Rush), Gordon McKenzie (FLSC), Marina Hinds (AZCFC).
1. The minutes of September 12, 2007 meeting were read and approved.
2. President’s Report – Pat Dunham raised the issue of girls’ teams playing in the boys’ division. There are several problems associated with that, including a determination that a girls’ team that played in the boys’ division would be ineligible for National Cup competition. Charlene McConnell moved that at least half the players must be boys on teams comprising both boys and girls at ages U11 and older playing in the boys’ division. Jeff Welliver seconded the motion. Motion carried.
3. Vice President’s Report – Detlef Lange had no issued to report; everything is going well.
4. Treasurer’s Report – Charlie McConnell reported that the storage locker is almost empty (except for portable goals, etc.). She will distribute Connie Gardner’s most recent financial report at the next general meeting of the board.
5. Fields Commissioner – Cheryl Copeland was absent. Pat Dunham reported that we’re okay for fields for State League this weekend.
6. Referees’ Commissioner – John Norton was absent. Pat Dunham reported that there was one complaint about a referee and she will follow up on it. There has been a request from coaches that referees be more cautious about potential head injuries.
7. Communications Commissioner – Jeff Welliver reported that the forms are up on the website and the forums will be up next week. All cancellations should be reported to him and he’ll coordinate with Connie Gardner.
8. District II Commissioner – Shari Myoraku reported that the next state meeting is this Sunday.
9. Registrar Report – Shari Myoraku reported that she gave Sally Lange all the U9/U10 schedules. She also provided a breakdown of the number of currently registered players by club. We presently have 4,140 registered players in total.
10. Coaches’ Commissioner – Mark Francis was absent.
11. Old Business – Pat Dunham will report on the one year contracts offered to our two league assignors at the next meeting. The group discussed raising the licensure level at which the league will provide financial support to the “C” license. There was general consensus that support should be provided in situations where the training is provided locally and the coach is not a paid coach, or to offer the support in the form of a scholarship for which coaches could apply. It was decided to wait until Coaches’ Commissioner Mark Francis is present to have a more substantive discussion in order to arrive at a conclusion that could be implemented next season. Finally, game flighting went very well.
12. New Business – There was no new business.
13. Good of the Game – Detlef Lange’s team played Yuma in Flagstaff on Sunday – it was 28°!
14. Adjournment – The meeting adjourned at 7:00 PM.
Respectfully submitted,
Cathy Nicholson
Secretary, PCJSL
