Unfinished Business:
Lowered Field Usage: Put on hold. Need to work out a plan of layout first. Possibly putting in a pitching mound?
Field 2 will have a permanent pitching mound. If we want a pitching warm up area, we would need to get fencing materials to install on both sides of the field. No one volunteered to design it. Field 1 will also have a pitching mound by March 4th. Field 3 will have a portable pitching mound.
New Business:
Tom Abernathy (Minors Manager) has resigned due to Family Situation.
New Policy for Umpires: Glen George wrote up a new Umpire Policy for Children. He proposed that a Child Umpire should be at least 12 years old. When umpiring a division, they child umpire is at least 1 year above the division that he/she is umpiring in. Amending the policy with making sure that all Umpires tuck their shirts in. Another amendment is to cancel the game in the event that there are no Umpires (Adult) present unless the Child Umpire has umpired at least 2 games previously. They will be provided with an umpire Shirt. The money will come from the Umpire Budget of $900. Motion to pass the amended Umpire Policy is made by Marty Price. 2nd by Jodi Kvinsland. Motion passed.
