Minutes of FSA Board Meeting
Sunday, May 3, 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 April.
Treasurer’s report was approved.
Budget: 
There was some discussion on if FSA had a budget.  The only budget that is set is that for complex maintenance fees.  In the future we will need to set budgets for other items.
Field/Ref Coordinator Update:
Outlining of fields needs to be done as games begin this week.  Pat Ermer will be doing this.
Field directions on both MYSA and FSA website need to be updated.  Field 02 needs to list ST. Mary’s Middle School not SSM Sports Complex-directions are also wrong.
Fields at SSM should depict which is turf field and which is inside track-Troy will look into changing.
Also discussed that coaches/managers should contact teams coming to town to make them aware of the detours and give them directions for rerouting.
Missy proposed that FSA reimburse $30 of the ref kit fees to the refs once they reach a culmination of 10 games provided they turn in their receipts.  Games do not all have to be done in one year-they can carry over until requirement is met for reimbursement.  Proposal accepted
Missy proposed that FSA continue to reimburse refs for their certification fees of $60 once refs have completed 5 games within the season.  Proposal was accepted.
Missy will go over referee information sheet and current referee policy and submit updates at the next meeting for approval.  These are two items that should be visited in January of each year and adjustment decided on then.
There was discussion on penalties for those refs that do no call no shows for their scheduled games.
Discussion by board on unscheduled games by coaches-should it be handled by field/ref coordinator and who/how will refs be paid?  Board decided that this is not allowed for this year and will be looked at next year as a possibility.

Little Feat Update: 
140 players registered so far.  Close to the same number as last year.
Ordering supplies right now.
Outlining goals and curriculum-wanting to have each practice based on a particular skill with goals at the end of the year for each age level.

Fall in House Soccer: 
Discussed offering a U12 (5th/6th grade) traveling league in the fall.  Games would be on Sat/Sun.
For fall league the Rec Center is liable this year, but next year would be covered by MYSA.
Refund Policy: 
Discussed not using the late registration fee.  We will not use “late fee” wording, but “Early Bird Fee”.
Meeting adjourned at 8:20pm
Next meeting is scheduled for Sunday June 7, 2009 at 7pm at Washington Rec Center.
Respectfully submitted,
                Missy Plante
