Board unanimously passed
proposal to pay a couple of kids to set up and tear down equipment on game days
(Saturday and Sunday). Pay to be $5.00 per employee
for both set-up and tear down. Total cost to league
$400.00 per season. Saturday’s wages will be
reimbursed by the city at the end of the season since it is a cost associated
with running the Youth league. Wages will be held in
abeyance until the league is assigned a tax ID number from the state. Danny Miranda, equipment manager, will be responsible for
scheduling and overseeing the set-up and tear down crews.

Brief discussion held on
the financial status of the LCIHA. Dave Rockstraw
reported that we currently have $2400.00 in the bank, $1400.00 in registration
fees and $1000.00 from the tournament. Joe Short
suggested that there be 2 signatures required on checks issued by the LCIHA,
and 3 people empowered to sign off. Dave said it was
just a matter of getting someone to go down to the bank with him and signing
off on the account card. Dennis Downey
cautioned that the Board needed to be prudent in making monetary decisions so
that the Association does not end back up in a precarious financial position.
·
Derrik Wooton suggested that the league
purchase a first aid kit stocked with whatever may be necessary to render
on-site first aid for any hockey-type injuries. Cash
Duhigg volunteered to put together the first aid kit and donate it to the
league. Board unanimously agreed to accept his offer.
·
Board discussed the merits
of purchasing a supplemental insurance policy as recommended by USA Hockey In
Line. Joe Short said that he felt that it was
important to have the additional coverage because Board members could be held
liable if someone wanted to sue the LCIHA. Dave said
that he had spoken to a lawyer, who also recommended obtaining the additional
insurance. Discussion ensued as to whether to get the
insurance for one year at a cost of $350.00, or for three years at a cost of
$930.00. Board voted unanimously to get the insurance
for one year and re-evaluate the situation at the end of this year.
·
Board discussed and
unanimously approved the procedure that must be followed if a player wants to
“play up” (play in an older age group). Players will
only be allowed to play in one age group. If a player
wants to be moved up to the next level, they must be evaluated by a panel to
include a Board member and a referee and approved to move up.
Additionally, both the player and his/her parent or legal guardian must
sign a waiver form.

Board unanimously

Meeting was adjourned so

Respectfully submitted by Patty
Walters, Secretary, LCIHA
