Old Business Steve Meckel Internal Control Policies Review Susan McCarty – Document was viewed with changes. Roberta is to assign this project to clean up the document with the recommended changes. Then we will compare both the documents and vote on the changes. New Business Update on State Associations moving to USSF Washington Youth Soccer has made a proposal to the Federation to leave USYS and register directly. USYS is a layer we could do without and invest the same dollars in registering directly. Steve feels we should pay our bill to USYS before we consider making the move with Washington. At the USYS meeting in San Diego, many States voiced they were not happy with Chris Moore’s presentation. There is a loss on confidence in USYS. Fee Structure for AGM There was discussion to increase membership to $11, $13 and $24. Take 40k to reserves and 100K to operations. Need to have an insurance reserve. Have a checking account and a sweeping account that draws interest on a short term. The competitive clubs present at the Presidents meeting felt they could take more of the increase that the recreation clubs. Steve feels we need to justify better the increase. Keep it open and honest. Some of the data was confusing that was presented to the Presidents. Comments made at the Presidents meeting were to keep the deductible at the $500 - $1000 range. This fee proposal keeps the deductible at the $500. Question do we need to raise the adult fee? The insurance fee is based on the player numbers not the adults. John - suggests we have a meeting before the AGM to go over the presentation. Steve suggests the presentation to the fees should be at the Presidents meeting. Steve B suggests to send out an email that fees are going to be raised and to tell them it will be discussed at the presidents meeting. Meeting adjourned at 8:30. Next Meeting will be following the AGM Respectfully submitted, Roberta Cloutier Operations Director
