The minutes of the February 20, 2014 Board Meeting were approved as written

Old Business:

Ø HOA Updates-Dan noted that the new shade cover was due to be installed next week. He also complemented the HOA for their overall

helpful attitude toward PCSSA, they just neatened up the area by trimming the trees and they have budgeted monies to replace all the green netting in the outfield.

Ø PIR Summary-Chuck advised that all the monies owed us for the work we did form them has been paid.

Committee & Director Updates:

Ø Financial Update-Norm Smith-Norm announced that we are in good shape money wise, even after we pay the HOA what we owe them for work done.

Ø Marketing-Rich Elliott-Rich advised that all the invitations have been sent out to the team sponsors inviting them and a guest to the year-end banquet. Also, all 5-sponsors for the spring league have been confirmed.

Ø Player Personnel-Fred Schmidt-Fred advised that the surveys that have been returned indicate that there are 128 players coming back in the fall (so far), that 12 have indicated a desire to manage, 33 want to be involved in the PIR, 12 would like to serve as board members and 21 want to serve on committees. In addition, there was a unanimous vote for Dennis Miazga for treasurer, Ken Johnson for vice president, Doug Wainwright for field maintenance and Al Chandler for marketing. There were no votes for Mickey Mouse this year; I guess we’ve all matured (gotten another year older). Chuck Tredway will move up to president, Fred Schmidt will remain as dir. of player personnel and Steve Fletcher will remain as secretary.

Ø Field Maintenance-Lyman Rinehart-Lyman announced that field maintenance will take place this Thursday. It was agreed that the board would assist in the field maintenance required during our year end tournament.

New Business:

Ø Spring Softball Teams, Managers & Format-Dan announced the 5 spring managers as Ted Wallace, Gary Jensen, Al Chandler, Steve Fletcher and Dan Rea. Teams will have to play a double header or two to accommodate the 5-team format. The double headers will be back to back so players don’t have to come back to the park. The new spring teams will be announced by Monday. It was agreed that we will re-commission some of the old steel bats for spring.

Ø Rule Changes for Spring League-Dan advised of 3-new rule changes to be instituted for the spring league; 1. intentional walks will be allowed from the 5^th inning on, 2. the catch up rule will be abolished, but there will still be unlimited runs allowed in the 7^th inning, 3. players rated 26 and above will be interchangeable as subs and players rated 14 and below will also be interchangeable as subs.

Ø Season Ending Picnic-This will take place the end of the first playoff day, Saturday, Apr. 5^th.

Ø Awards Banquet-This will take place Saturday, Apr. 19^th and will be a sit down affair. Everyone will have a choice of either chicken or beef as their main entrée; managers will be asking you for this information. The bar will open at 5 PM and dinner served at 6 PM.

Ø Questions/Answers (time allowing)-Two new players were evaluated yesterday, no more sign-ups will be allowed after this.

With no further business, it was moved and seconded that this meeting be

adjourned. This meeting was adjourned at 5 PM. The next meeting will be on

April 17, 2014-Thursday 4 PM-Milano Room
