Visitor- Glen Kurtz
Secretary’s report- The secretary’s report was read and approved with a motion from Todd and second from John.
The treasurer report- we are still in need of some money from sponsors for the calendar. Tony will collect. We have a grant from Wal-Mart for $250 that Connie Swenseth got. We also have a grant for $1000 for selling the sportsman for youth tickets. There is also $99 from NDTC that will go back to them for the web site. We also received a $1500 donation from Tronson Grain. The cost to certify all coaches was $1800. The squirts did not get picked for the international tourney this year; the money was received back in the mail along with a letter.
Gaming- doing well.
Terry W. - Scheduling is 99% done. Any changes will be updated on the web site. Referees are pretty much in place.

Youth Hockey Coordinator- Jason has recommended Glen Kurtz for the Squirt B coach as we are in need of one.
There was discussion on the rules for a petition to move a player up. To avoid a legal battle with Al Henry, the board has decided to table the rules for petitioning a player to move up. After trying to discuss the issue of a said player not making the A team, Al refused to listen. He commented that he would take the Blue Line Club to Court should the said player not be allowed to play at the B level. This is the same way Al reacted a few years ago when he was approached regarding there not being a paid position in the Blue Line Club as a coach, but rather a volunteer in our Pee Wee program. He was very upset and threatened the Blue Line Club with litigation.
There have been other players/parents that have approached Jason on moving kids up. Jason has approached the board. After discussion it was decided that Jason and Rob would decide if players move around. Motion was made by Nancy second by Casie, all in favor motion carried.
Discussion on the choosing of teams…unhappy parents/kids. ALOT of unnecessary phone calls to Jason and board members about this. Parents are not following the chain of commands. Board members do not want phone calls from unhappy parents because their child did not make the A team…. these calls need to be limited to the coordinator as this is his job. Also these calls should be VERY FEW.
Jason suggested that we use the $250 grant from Wal-Mart for the Bantam A to go to the Minot tournament. Todd made a motion that we give the Bantam A team the $250 for the tournament and the parents have to come up with the rest.
The dry land schedule will be coming out very soon it was done today.

Todd made a motion to use the $1000 from Sportsman for youth for practice jerseys. Dale seconds, all in favor motion carried.

to be able to get an opinion from a knowledgeable source who does not have
any
ties to the DLBLC in terms of children in the program. Rob is a native
of Gladstone,
Manitoba who brings a wealth of hockey knowledge to our program.

like to add a few things to the list of responsibilities that the coordinator
and asst. would carry out. The list includes:
- Hire the coaching staff
- Make sure coaches are certified

- Conduct coaches meetings- Pre, mid, and post season
- Attend monthly BLC meetings.
- Be a “buffer” between BLC Board and parents.
- Evaluate coaches, mid, and post season
- Conduct the handbook discussion at the parents meeting
- Evaluate players if there is petition to move up, ONLY
if the numbers dictate it.
- Schedule and conduct Goalie Practice
- Check eligibility and notify coaches
- Coordinate power skating and dry land training
The proposed salary: Youth Coordinator - $1250 Assistant
Coordinator - $625
The coaches meeting went well, a lot of good discussion.
Jason would also like to see an increase in the, coaches expenses and mileage.
The raise would be to $40 per day of out of town games and $.50 per mile
or $.25
if split between two coaches.
After discussion, Tony made a motion that we hire Jason @ the proposed
salary of
$1250.00. Skip second, all in favor, motion carried. Kevin made a
motion to hire
Rob as the asst. @ the proposed salary of $625.00. All in favor, motion
carried.

New Business - Board positions- there has been 1 letter received from Mike Mertens, about

Handbook Changes- There was a motion by Nancy and a second by Mark to change
the
Grievance policy to read: If a parent has a concern about situations in
a game or
practice, they must adhere to the 24 hr rule (waiting 24 hours to cool
off) before
they talk to the coach about the situation. If you are not satisfied
with this meeting,
the next step is to take to matter to the Hockey Coordinator. As
a last resort,
the matter may be brought to the DLBLC Board at the next regular monthly
meeting.
A written statement of the offense must be presented to the board 1 week
prior to
the scheduled meeting for ample time to investigate the concern.
The DLBLC does not guarantee the amount of playing time each individual
will receive
in each level of age groups. The coaches shall have the sole responsibility
of
deciding the amount of playing time each individual player shall receive.
All in favor, motion carried. Casie will update the handbook.
