Board Meeting Minutes for August 18, 2004

August 18, 2004

Board Meeting Minutes: August 18, 2004 In attendance: Financial Advisor, Jim Shaw, was the only SCBOWBO member who was able to attended the WOA meetings on Aug 13 and 14. See Jim Shaw for details in regards to 3-person officiating for the 2004-2005 season, but at this time it sounds as if there will be very few 3-person officiating crews during the regular season. Congratulations to Glenn Dunbar who was awarded the WOA's meritorious award at the WOA meetings. The board has put off action on a request for an increase to mileage fees until next year. SCBOWBO mileage rates have been increased only once in the past 10 years (or more) while gas prices and traffic congestion have increased dramatically. SCBOWBO assignor, Dan Taylor, attended today's board meeting and informed the board of some things they could do to make his job easier. More details will be posted when they become available. The board is going to notify officials during the season if they are in jeopardy of failing to meet SCBOWBO attendance requirements. The board discussed ways to make sure that all officials take the rules test now that the number of "certified refs" rather than "registered refs" determine how many state playoff allocations are given to SCBOWBO officials. More details will be posted when they become available.
