Minutes of FSA Board Meeting
Sunday, April 5, 2009

Present: Tammy Anderson, Bob Palmquist, Missy Plante, Ann Weinkauf, Troy Temple, Pat Dudley, Doug Zahn, Brendan Cox

Absent:  Tina Stadler

Guests: None

Minutes were approved for February and March..

Treasurer’s report was approved.

Team Update:
We have 9 teams registered this year compared to 11 for 2008-lost 2 teams due to no or not enough players at those age levels.
137 players are registered vs. 172 in 2008-35 player difference which would make up the 2 teams lost.
Player’s passes should be back by the end of this week.  Troy or Tammy will notify managers/coaches so that these can be picked up and worked on.
Petitioned request for a player to play up a level that was approved at previous meeting-the player will no longer be playing with us as he has moved to play with SSM. .

Uniforms: 
Sellners has all the uniforms so far that need numbers.
Some men’s larges are back ordered and hopefully will be here by the end of next week.
Delivery of uniforms to managers should be by the end of April in plenty of time for 1st games.

Field/Ref Coordinator update:
Missy attended assignor clinic this past weekend and learned a lot;
Scheduled dates of games will be coming to assignor to schedule times and fields by April 3rd.  Needs to be completed and submitted by April 13th, 5pm to MYSA.
Assigning refs will happen after fields have been assigned.  Missy has sent out a compiled list of interested people and past refs.  Currently not a good response of refs.  Will continue to work on this and may possibly have to solicit help from surrounding communities.
Have already been in contact with SSM field coordinator on using their fields this summer.  They are confident that they will be able to help us out.

Fundraising Update-Golf:
Much talk on having a golf tournament and how to get it up and running.  There is much work that goes into putting one on and maybe this year we should look further into it and start planning for one next year aright after the 1st of the year.
Board voted to forgo one for this year but have Bob P. continue to roll with this lining one up for next year.
Another opportunity would be to do a breakfast-Tammy and Bob will work on getting one of these set up with the KC’s for sometime in May/June.
Missy has offered to make tickets-let her know details.
We would rely heavily on presale tickets and have each player sell a certain number (yet to be determined).
How to roll out ticket sales to players has yet to be determined.

Fall in House Soccer:
FSA officially has acquired this from the REC Center. Brendan will organize the fall season.
Will need to include 6th graders as there are no sports for them at the middle school and they are too old to play with the grade schools. 
Possibility of organizing something for fall with MYSA?
Brendan and Troy will schedule a meeting with the REC Center to move forward with this.

Other Discussions:
Troy will check on the rules of recruiting from other teams.  Does MYSA have some ruling on this?   Troy will look in past FSA documents to see what our policy is on reimbursing those that transfer or drop from FSA.  Most members of the board do not know what the policy is and it needs to be clarified.  Modifications may need to be made to it.  Troy will bring info to next meeting. Porta potties are part of the main budget and we have them maintained for the summer season.  These should all be in place by mid April.

                Meeting adjourned at 8:37pm

Next meeting is scheduled for Sunday May 3, 2009 at 7pm at Washington Rec Center.

Respectfully submitted,

                Missy Plante
