SPECIAL PROJECTS: Sign up fund raiser is finished. 2 sponsors still need to pay. Stromboli forms were passed out on picture day.

PICTURE COMMISSIONER: Picture day went smooth, no problems.

SOFTBALL COMMISSIONER: Pitching rubber for Waterford Complex #5 and Summit Complex #3 should only be used by Steph and Mark for minor softball. Be careful when dragging these fields.

BASEBALL COMMISSIONER: Tom Roberts is okay with the league using the continuous line-up. It is legal by the book. Bring this to the opponents attention prior to the game. The league asked if Tom Roberts would email all coaches of the continuous line up so we all are aware of how it works.

UMPIRE COMMISSIONER: There are 24 trained umps of which 13 are non-players. We still need 1/2 of the shirts and hats from Marie. Jim will post ump schedules one week at a time to avoid confusion. Jim will order counters and put 2 in each box for the umps.

TOURNAMENT COMMISSIONER: Garry forwards info to the appropriate coaches.

SCHEDULING COMMISSIONER: All going well.

UNIFORM COMMISSIONER: Matt presented the shirts for the all-star teams, coaches would have small picture on their shirt. All thought were very nice. Championship Awards would charge about $12 for hat/shirt/name. We will order 100 shirts in various sizes to sell at the June tournament as a fund raiser.

PUBLIC RELATIONS: Web site had 1,600 hits in April. P/H/R had 80 kids attend. Will get info to kids that are moving on. Casmir Malinowski donated $50 to the league, a thank you will be sent to him. Call Garry with scores, he will forward to the Times News. The firehouse said thank you for their donation. The league was told to wait until 7/1 when the budget is passed before getting paperwork in for the Grant.

FIELD MAINTENANCE: Received a bill from Troyer/Sand/Gravel for $60.00 and the fencing for MV #3 was $1560. The cost from 5M for lime is $469.00. The park field is done and the Robison field looks great.

EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE: Spent $690.00 on umpire equipment. The Western Auto trailer was emptied. There was quite a bit of equipment in there that can be used. 2 softball coaches have asked Harold to order catcher's mitts.

INSURANCE COMMISSIONER: Paid balance of premium. Joe passed out claim forms to the available coaches. A coach has 20 days to report an incident for it to be covered. One of the softball coaches did have an incident and the coach will make sure appropriate paper work is completed. The league policy is only a secondary insurance.

OLD BUSINESS: The cut off dates for 2006 will be as follows: Girls-December 31 and Boys-April 30. Western Auto trailer was cleaned out.

NEW BUSINESS:

1. Hume’s got left out as being a sponsor. We will see if they can help sponsor the June tournament.

2. A sign is being made with the LeBoeuf Little League logo on it to put down by the entrance. We will check with Bill Brace regarding the advertising ordinance.

3. The league will try to establish a form for sponsors to have signs on the out field fences. Perhaps first sign 150 and second sign 100. If anyone is interested in sponsoring a score board the cost is $500.

4. Mariyah Moore attended the meeting and wanted to express her concern regarding fair playing time. She asked that the league read the mission statement and try to follow it more closely. The league agreed to work on this area of the mission statement.

5. Mike Stebick mentioned that t-ball kids get left out of open gym and that these kids need a better field to play on.

6. We need to change the refund wording on our policy for next year.

7. Jeff will call Tim Hoff to see if we can put salt brine down on entrance roads to cut down on the dust.

8. Jeff Jones made a motion to recognize visitors and their special needs at the being of the meeting to avoid the visitors to have to stay the entire meeting. This was passed for future meetings.

9. Matt Rose asked what the status of the new building is. We do not have a permit yet and need to look into getting that done.

NEXT MEETING DATE/TIME: June 16th (Thursday) at 8:30 pm.

ADJOURNMENT: A motion was made to adjourn the meeting at 11:10 pm by Matt and was seconded by Rich.
