The Treasurer’s report was given by Bob Swab. The projected cash balance starting the 2000 season is $5,415.00. Bob will present a proposed budget for the 2000 season at the next board meeting which will include a review of the umpire pay scale.

Sonny gave an overview of the retreat the board had in October. The following committees were formed :

By Laws: Gale Starbuck, Tommy Wilson, Rick Cremen

Local Playing Rules: Cliff Querry, Pat McNamara, Gale Starbuck

Rules of Conduct: Tommy Wilson, Tom Twiddy, Chuck Haslebacher

The positions Monica Murphy and Wanda Watson have are to be switched due to Monica’s involvement in the Minor League Baseball program.

Cliff Querry proposed having the managers and coaches who did not fulfill their obligations of the mandatory umpiring rule last season be given a chance to do so this season however; they would have a penalty involved. After discussion, the proposal was postponed until the December meeting.

Tom Esker gave an overview of the league’s web site information, and would like for people to forward information to him at the web site or place items in his "webmaster" folder located in the concession stand.

Steve Moore suggested the league include pricing information on the sign up flyers this year.

He would also like to see more people actively involved during the end of season tournaments which are held at the complex.

Mike Abernathy suggested the board reach a decision concerning splitting the Senior League division. A motion was made by Tommy Emory to keep the program as it is now and not split it according to age until Little League makes the split mandatory. The motion was seconded by Pat McNamara. Gale Starbuck asked that the motion be tabled until some of the existing players are contacted to see if they will be returning. The motion is to be reviewed again in December.
