Roll call was taken by sign in. Secretary’s Report: No problems with the minutes and the March minutes were approved. Treasurers Report: (Financial Budget is available by individual request) • It was noted that final registration fees will be due by June 15th. Please refer to the forms section on the East Central Web Site for the Player Registration Payment Worksheet. Each club must use the League Organizer Registration Report to fill out this worksheet. The current budget from August 1, 2006 to July 31, 2007 was presented to the Board. Commissioner’s Report: TOPS - (See bookmarked report) • Wayne reported that TOPS is in its' eighth year and growing. ARC has expressed an interest in getting involved. The spring session continues on April 21, 28, and May 5th. May 5th is the last session until September. At the May meeting Wayne will have a schedule for the fall of 2007. For questions call Wayne at 920-788-5840. Scheduling - (See bookmarked report) • Wayne called attention to scheduling problems for the U-19 teams playing on the same nights as U-8 players, but after some discussion it was decided to keep the schedule as it stands. • Wayne reminded people that club presidents can make changes to the schedule on the website with a password that they must get from Sue Ann. Changes can be made for home games only and should include a notice to opposing coaches. Registrar - (See bookmarked report) • There was a discussion about player pass cards having the proper division identification on them. It was noted that there are a handful of teams that may switch divisions at the pre- scheduling meeting. If a team moves to a different division and their roster and player pass cards have already been made, the team must have their cards remade. It was moved by Renee and seconded that beginning in 2007-2008; teams must change their player pass cards to reflect the division they are playing in. The motion carried. • Tourney players can club pass play into a premier league game only. They cannot be on a roster for that league. • Discussion about simplifying the coding league scheduling took place. We will need to determine what information WYSA uses before simplifying any of the coding. Carl will ask Jerry to speak to the State about their needs, so we can revisit the issue for next year. Referee - (No report) • Any information requested about your referees, should go through Jim Rader before responding to individuals outside of East Central District. • Referee Rates for the Adult league will be similar to the U19 The following referee fee schedule is now in effect. U-12 Classic & Rec 2x30 $25.00 $15.00 U-14 Classic & Rec 2x35 $30.00 $20.00 U-16 Coed Rec 2x35 $30.00 $20.00 U-16 Classic 2x40 $40.00 $25.00 U-17/19 Rec 2x35 $40.00 $25.00 U-17/19 Classic 2x45 $50.00 $30.00 Coaches – (See bookmarked report) • Renee said the March 2nd "D" license clinic was a success.

Date: April 9, 2007 Area: TOPS Commissioner: Wayne Stoflet E-Mail: [email protected] Report: TOPS is half way through our spring session. The spring session continues on April 21, 28 & May 5. May 5th is the last session until the fall (September). At the May meeting I will have a schedule for the fall of 2007. As always, questions may be directed to Wayne Stoflet 920-788-5840. Future Activities’: Decisions Required: Date: April 9, 2007 Area: Scheduling Commissioner: Wayne Stoflet E-Mail: [email protected] Report: The summer schedule was posted on March 30, 2007. Currently we’re working through minor problems relating to coding. Fields, times, team names can be changes by the clubs. Anything else that requires changing should be referred to Wayne Stoflet. Common courtesy would tell us to ask or notify the opposing coach when fields and times are changed. Changes can be made to home games only. Future Activities’: Decisions Required: Date: 04/15/2007 Area: Registration Commissioner: Jerry Crossman E-Mail: [email protected] Report: Many teams are registering from different clubs for spring season. Not aware of any issues. Registration has been going smoothly. Would like to have discussion from the clubs in the following; 1. Fall league: Changing level of play from fall to spring seasons; re-do of passes Drop/add of players - is the fall team meant to remain as the spring/summer team? 2. Tourney Only teams: Coding/identification and rules & regs; double roster/club pass Tourney Only vs. Tournament team (not sure this even exists?) 3. Coding Wayne uses only DIVISION coding for league scheduling (example: 067C11CA - this tells it all: season, girl/coed, age, league, level), Why do we need all the #s and acronyms in the rest of the fields? We should consider simplification and understandability by listing: "EC Rec League", "EC Classic League", "Wis State League"; team "unique" number. We seem to duplicate so much and if one digit is missed/typo/etc the cards/rosters are incorrect.
