NEW BUSINESS:

  • Tournament:   Discussed the possibility of improving the KPMS field for the Tournament. 
  • Early Registration:  Players are guaranteed this year’s registration fee if they sign up and pay this year.  The reason being is that the board may vote to raise the fees because the Metro Parks might raise our fees.  Jodi Kvinsland will create a flyer and hand it out to all the Managers at the team parties.  Scott Russell made a motion to have early registration fees to be paid by September 1, 2007; 2nd by Marty Price; motion passed.

  • Next-To-Do Projects:   Dugout on Field 3 – Viking Fence has given us an estimate of $4300 not including tax.  Other bids will be requested to compare.  This work is completely being hired w/out any volunteer services.Bob Queenin made a motion to accept the Viking Fence bid as long as they can do it before the Tournament; 2nd by Teri Lewellen; motion passed.  
  • Reed Fund:  Kurt spoke with Terry Lee and was informed that a Reed Fund is available to apply.  $800,000 to be exact for any park and field improvements.  The Fund will match $1 for $1.  Once we have all of our improvement costs put together, we can approach the Board.  They may donate ½ of the funds to us.  Field 2 net needs to be tied up so the foul balls stay in the field. Discussed tied balls games in the Minors Division.  No changes were made. All-Star Uniforms have been ordered.
