Committee Reports:

Treasurer: Monthly report.  Metro account not reconciled. 

District VI meeting: Glen Cole was re-elected commissioner. Discussion about the level 9 reffing program.  CNRA wants to fine level 9 refs who cross league boundaries, so District VI doesn’t want to support the program.  Its time for coach of the year nominations.

Metro:  Its time to turn the paperwork in if we want a tournament next year.  Dan V. wants to expand the number of teams.  Suggestion is U12 Boys & Girls, U14 Boys & Girls, and U16 girls.  We need a final accounting from this year’s tournament before we agree to next year’s.

Coaching:  There were 2 messages regarding coaching issues that went to some of the board, but not all.  These messages need to go to the whole board.  Some of the U6 coaches want to be on the field.  If we have refs, the coaches need to stay off the fields.  Last year the coaches begged for refs.  The decision is that for the remainder of this year, we’ll have refs for U6 and the coaches need to stay on the sidelines.  However, the refs will be asked to be more instructive with the kids, in order to keep the game moving.  We’ll decide next year if we want to change back to no refs for U6.  Some coaches wanted to switch divisions mid-season.  That’s been fixed.  The sponsorship forms need to be in by Oct 18th. 

Fields – There was vandalism at 7-Hills.  We need to start pulling nets down during the week, or they won’t last long.  Wee Chateau has been cancelled.    We need to return the portable goals and try something else for next year. 

AGM – We’ll combine a coach’s appreciation dinner with the AGM.  Karen & Cathy will organize the event.  The 3 board members whose terms are up are Dan V, Steve L. and Cathy.  Next year it will be Steve S., Sophia & Christine.  The following year will be Jeff, Karen & Dan K.

Meeting adjourned.
