Meeting Minutes for SCBOWBO

November 14, 2005

Meeting Minutes: Monday, November 14, 2005 SECOND GENERAL MEETING : Tony Churlin opened the meeting at 7:05 PM.  He made an announcement that no official should worry about paying dues up front if it is a hardship for them.  Arrangements can be made to have dues deducted from an official's paycheck. Tony announced that a mileage increase for officials is forthcoming.  Outlying area mileage (Darrington, Skykomish, Duvall) will increase from $20.00 per game to $25.00 per game and other schools will increase from $15.00 per game to $20.00 per game.  This fee will continue to be split between all the officials who drive to the game. Tony Churlin reminded everyone to sign-in to Arbiter.  Anyone having problems signing-in to Arbiter needs to contact a board member. Greg Osborne requested party location ideas from general members.  Our party has outgrown the small room that Alfy's Pizza has provided to us over the past few years and Greg is looking for ideas of new places to host our party at the end of this season. Troy Moe announced that there will be apprentice floor training on Saturday morning at 10:30 AM at Mountlake Terrace HS.  This is floor training provided by the SCBOA association, but SCBOWBO officials are welcome.  Troy also announced that he would appreciate help from the "veterans" at his apprentice meetings and would like to have veterans be "guest speakers" and present a topic at future apprentice meetings. Tony Churlin led a basketball presentation about proper coverage and responsibilities for the jump ball in both 3-person and 2-person. Dan Taylor reminded officials that not everyone has signed-in to Arbiter yet and everyone needs to do so ASAP.  Rec ball is starting this weekend and Dan will be assigning a rookie official with a veteran official to cover the games.
