Darren will check into the cost of skating and goalies coaches and bring that amount back to the next meeting.  If approved, it will be paid for out of the gambling account.

 

Arena Manager’s Report:

Ø                  Jesse gave Shelli the ice bill for January ($5376.25)

Ø                  The B1 Bantam District tournament is scheduled to begin February 16.  We are responsible to provide people to work the penalty box/clock and run the concessions.  One change needs to be made to that schedule because of high school playoffs.  Amy will send a letter to those families who have not yet met their 20 hour requirement and ask if they would work this event.

Ø                  The new netting was received and one end (against the glass) has been installed.  The other end will be installed in the Spring.

Ø                  The repairs to the floor have been made and the ice replaced.  It is estimated we lost money in the following areas:

 

Ø                              $ 1500 reserved ice time

Ø                                 1000 concessions

Ø                                 1700 for the Marman tournament that was cancelled.

The company who installed the floor has offered to extend our warranty for another two years.  Roger will speak with the County Commissioners about this matter.  It will be the recommendation of the Association to accept the two year warranty, as long as we receive that in writing.

 

Ø                  The County will be paying for the installation of new lights in the Arena and are in the process of getting bids.

Ø                  Jesse also reported that there is ice time available for purchase.

 

Tournament Director’s Report:

Ø                  Travis reported that “it’s all good.”

Ø                  He also reiterated the fact that this will be his last year as the Tournament Director.  Again, if anyone is interested, please contact Travis or any Board member.

 

Old Business:

Ø                  Pam Hedin set up a booth during the Squirt tournament and sold clothing.  No report on how the sale went.

Ø                  501C3 status was raised again.  Tanya will be working with Laura regarding costs, additional information and how much time to complete this task.

Ø                  The Internet issue was tabled until Tony Lockhart is able to attend a meeting.

Ø                  Dave Stanko received price estimates for new hockey breezers, socks and jerseys.  As reported above, new breezers will be purchased, as well as new jerseys for the mini mites.  There was also discussion about selling the old breezers to anyone looking to buy practice breezers for approximately $10.

 

 


 

New Business:

Ø                  Amy has again updated and posted the volunteer hours in the lobby.  There are many (too many) people who do not have their hours in for the year.  The Board will send a letter to these people notifying them and reminding them that they will be charged $10 for each hour not completed.  There are still opportunities available to get your volunteer hours in.

Ø                  A change in the Association Bylaws is being made to reflect that at the time of registration, hockey dues must be paid in full.

Ø                  Coaches need to meet and discuss a coaching clinic and their recommendation.

Ø                  There was discussion about assisting Silver Bay this summer with their hockey camp since they will be in the process of obtaining a new floor. Roger will contact Mike.

Ø                  A motion was made by Sandy, seconded by Amy, to preapprove a $1000 donation to Laura Comrie because of the fire they recently experienced.  Laura’s son has been a member of the Association for years. In addition, Laura rents ice time for her skating classes. 

Ø                  Tanya will contact our CPA and ask about bylaws.

Ø                  We would like to say Thank You to Suzie and Blake Fjeran for coaching the girls team!  It has been a huge success!

Ø                  Tim made a suggestion to find another web page provider that will maintain our web page for less money.

Ø                  Darren White made a motion, seconded by Sandy, to not have a combined banquet but to leave it up to the coaches to put something together for each level.

Ø                  The Association has been asked to pay for one month of the Port-A-Potty that was placed at the back rink.  The amount is unknown.

 

Amy Cavallin made a motion to adjourn; seconded by Sandy Nordean.  Motion carried.

 

Next meeting will be Monday, March 12, 2007, at 7 p.m.
