  • New Business
    • Election of New Board Members:  New board members term will take effect May 1st.  New board members are:  Lori D., Shelly K., and Brad L.  Allan swore in new board members who all accepted their nominations.
    • Election of Officers:  Allan H. nominated for President, Julie B. nominated for Vice President, Shelly K. and Brad L. nominated for Treasurer (Brad said no), and Lori D. and Eric K. nominated for Secretary (Eric said no).  Eric motioned to accept the officers as nominated.  Corrine 2nd.  All in favor. 
    • Ice Show Reflection:  The board felt the ice show ran smooth and has a nice layout.  The extra locker room worked well and the people backstage did an awesome job!  The length of the show worked well and Corrine felt there was a good amount of positive feedback regarding mini-solo’s and such.  Carol H. shared a woman in her 80’s said she felt the show was well done and well put together.  Comments were made regarding decorating and the amount of parents involved.  It was shared that signing parents up in the fall for volunteer positions causes forgetting.  Could they be posted on the website next year?  Questions were raised about a safety harness.  Shelly K. shared that some parents continue to feel out of the loop.  How could we improve that?  Julie spoke briefly about code of conduct regarding skaters and coaches.  Should coaches contracts include conduct expectations?  Ice show rules were brought up – having skaters accept and have them enforced. 
    • Resignation:  Eric motioned to accept the resignation of Nikki S.  Corine 2nd.  All in favor.
    • Coaches:  Julie spoke about coaching clinics in order to help them be better.  She would like to require for next year, which would require testing through USFS.  Eric asked about the training seminars and who would pay?  Should this be a requirement of the individual coaches?  Should we require this of a coach, saying they need at this level?  Eric motioned that Julie establish an outline of coaching standards for the 2009-2010 season.  Allan said we do not need a motion and that experienced coaches can offer a mini-coaching clinic.  Corrine went on to share one full coach who hasn’t been completely paid yet and shared the information regarding that situation.  Eric motion Jami S. be paid $125 for playing music at the ice show.  Julie 2nd.  Six in favor.  One against.  Corrine also shared student coaches had not been paid yet. 
    • Pizza Party:  Do we want now or next year in January or February?  Eric and Nikki K. volunteered to look into a pizza party banquet now.  Corrine motioned to arrange a pizza party at the High School Cafeteria in May.  Corine 2nd.  All in favor. 
  • Public Comments:  Carol  shared information regarding a ceiling mounted harness and wondered if the board would approve this type of training system.  She shared there are 30 skaters that could use the harness.  There are currently 2 facilities in the area that have one.  Could we look into the safety reasons for having one?  Carol shared that the cost would range from $2500-3000 with installation.  Would we have to get an OK from Hockey?  How much space does it take up with a skater?  Carol will look into more information and report back to board. Carol shared that a number of skaters are interested in a synchro or precision team.  Chris has looked at the schedule and feels Monday mornings at 6 am is a possibility – how many skaters would be interested?
  • Next board meeting: May 18th at Crossroads Church at 7 PM
  • Adjourn: Deb motioned at 8:55pm to adjourn.  Nikki 2nd.  All in favor.
