Old
Business:
Ø
PIR Summary- Chuck announced our work at the
PIR went very well and was thankful for the help of 5-guys from the Pickle ball
club for their help.
Ø
Opening Day Summary-Dennis Miazga said that opening day
went without a hitch and thanked Lee Ayers for his invaluable assistance. He recommended that we use Paradise Bakery
again next year for the coffee as they delivered and saved a lot of work making
coffee. He said that the requirement not
to require tickets was great and even so, we ended up with extra sandwiches,
but ran out of diet Coke. 11-sponsors
showed up and were appreciative for the invitation. Good job Dennis.
Ø HOA Update-Shade Cover-Dan announced that he had met with Bill Barnard regarding
the shade cover for our field patio area and that Bill said that the cost to
cover this was on the new budget which he believed would be approved on
December 4th. The only
drawback was that the company that bid on the cover was no longer in business.
Committee &
Director Updates:
Ø Financial Update-Norm Smith-Norm reported that everyone has paid their dues who was
required to do so
Ø Marketing-Rich Elliott-Rich reported that we had 8 new banner sponsors, 37 total
and 12 team banner sponsors totaling 49.
Also 4 league sponsors were committed to sponsor spring teams and he
would have 6 by start of spring league.
Bill Gaines and Lee Ayers will be heading up our golf tournament which
will take place February 19th.
Ø Player Personnel-Fred Schmidt-Fred announced that we had 142 players signed up for this
Fall, 10 of these were new players and we had 8 associates.
Ø Field Maintenance-Lyman Rinehart-Lyman announced that the first field maintenance took place
this morning and that the field was looking very good, including the newly
sodded area in short left center field.
New Business:
Ø Use of game bats for practice-Dan announced that another set of 5-bats had been ordered
and when they arrived we will put 5 of our present game bats out for use during
practices and the new bats will be incorporated into use during games.
Ø Substitution Rule Exceptions for holiday games: 11/26, 11/30, 12/21, 12/28-Dan
announced that the Board had determined to slack up on the substitution rules
for these dates as well as 11/25 should that be needed to make up a 11/23 rain
delay. The exceptions would allow subs
to play in 3-games per day (including their own game) and they would be allowed
to sub for the same team on all of these dates if needed.
Ø Sub Runner Rule #12 revision-after a lengthy discussion it was decided to leave 12a as
is, but to change the wording from “batter” to “runner”.
Ø Decision on protested game of November 9-Desert Golf vs. Augies-Although the
protest was upheld and the board had decided on how this should play out, the
managers of the 2-teams decided to leave the outcome of the game as is.
Questions/Answers (time
allowing)-
Ø A l-e-n-g-t-h-y discussion ensued
spear headed by Steve Ward which centered around his proposal to change the use of
the present ball used by the league. No
final decisions were made as to whether or not the ball would be changed.
With no further business, it was moved and seconded that
this meeting be
adjourned. This meeting was adjourned at 5:20 PM. The next meeting will be on
December 19th at 4:00 PM in the Milano room
