Jim is requesting that preassigned coaches limit be changed to 3 instead of 2. The board listened to his recommendation and all agreed that the limit has been an improvement to the balance of teams and should not be changed. Jim is also requesting that Dynamo allow more practice times for the 12-14 age division. The board agrees that more practice time would be beneficial, but due to limited field space Dynamo hasn’t been able to accommodate this. Dynamo will continue to look into the feasibility of more practice times for the older age groups. Officer Reports: A. President- Ed thanked everyone for a good year.B.

Jeff motioned to accept the constitution with approved changes, John seconded. Passed. New Business Issues for 2007. Several tabled to January/February meetings. The follow were discussed/finalized. Dynamo will allow ez ups for games as long as they are behind the spectators and are not blocking other spectators. Golf carts will not be allowed unless they are being used for a disabled/handicapped or injured person. It was suggested by parent that Dynamo consider placing team in pools based on how they did. Dynamo will not do this. The schedule for the tournament is completed weeks before the end of the season. Dynamo will continue to use the current names we currently use such as 6-7 year old, but will try to clarify what ages apply in regards to Old Mill. It was recommended that jersey colors be considered when making the schedule, because some teams had to play another team with a similar color. This is not feasibility, but Dynamo will keep pennies on hand for the occasions. Dynamo will look into fertilizing in the spring and adding more sod if needed. A parent suggestion: The tournament winners be given something extra. Dynamo is a recreation organization and everyone receives the same trophy. A parent suggestion: The tournament should be over 2 weekends. Because of other events, 2 weekends is not feasible. Jeff recommends that Dynamo purchase signs similar to those used to advertise for political elections. He suggested that these could be used to indicate no smoking or no dogs. 50 signs are approximately $200.00. Parent suggestion: Start the season 1 week later due to softball and baseball all stars. Due to weather issues, Old Mill, possible Dynamo invitational, Dynamo will keep the season as is. Next meeting November 13, 6:30, LeVasseur. Ben Motioned to adjourn, John seconded. Meeting adjourned at 8:15. |
