PDL State Meeting

  • PDL Clubs will need to be approved every year by July 1st
  • State level – all inter-district leagues must be approved annually (PDL, District 6, etc.)
  • In don’t get approved for inter-district leagues by deadline, can only play in-house.
  • State wants to eliminate Districts – consequences ill be that Associations will be eliminated and mergers will be necessary

  • Also proposed that each Club submit one agenda item.

Minutes:

  • Motion to approve July minutes as written. Motion seconded. Passed unanimously.

 

Reports:

 

Treasurer – Carl Webber:

  • Presented end of month report for August.

 

Fields – George Pfeiffer:

  • King County will close all four South King County parks effective December 1, 2009. Lake Geneva will be used through November 14th and then closed. Broached sub-leasing Lake Geneva for next year and King County is interested in this option. Maintenance is the key issue. Currently pay $9,780 per year for Lake Geneva. George Pfeiffer has someone who will mow, thatch, etc. for $12,000 per year. However, it if goes to seed, it will take two years to grow back.
  • Where will U10’s play? Have 3 fields at Lakota. Two are for Mod U10’s and one is for FWU teams. One set of goals need to be moved from Celebration to Lakota.
  • TJ new turf field – Use agreement not signed yet. Letter for use for now includes 12 Saturdays and all day Sunday. Proposal is for  $4,000 and working on getting it to $3,000. TJ is coming in about $80 per day. $18,000 already paid on fields so exceeded what we will take in. Will re-do Sacajawea in two years so won’t need field money for a while.
  • Celebration Park fields will not make it through November at this rate – may be hard to get through October.

 

Webmaster – Sharon Woodford:

  • New Featured Teams page on website.
  • Mod Picture Schedule posted on schedules page of webpage.
  • FWU Legends picture links for scheduling pictures and pre-ordering pictures now posted on FWU schedules webpage.
  • Plan to update all team pages this weekend.
