Minutes, May 13, 2009
FINAL
- Board meeting called to order at 6:30
pm at Players Pizza, Penn Valley.
- Members present: Anderson, Wilson,
Eacobacci, Pryor, Cochran, Lane, Silveria
- Guests present: Bill Howland, Bruce
Reinhardt, Bob Swarthout
- Treasurers Report: Bill Wilson
stated we had $24,800.00 in our account with a uniform payment pending.
- Rich Eacobacci said there were
problems with the electronic statistics. It was recommended to manually
compile stats from the scorebooks.
- Rich has published the most recent
League Newsletter and put it on the webpage. He is looking for someone to
take over publishing the Newsletters in the future. Chamba Lane agreed to
write the Newsletters. Please e-mail Chamba suggestions for articles of
interest to the league.
- Bruce Reinhardt informed the board
that Delta Bluegrass is finishing their work on field 2 and would need a
Friday and Saturday to complete the work. A Saturday league game would need
to be changed to Field 1 for that week.
- Bruce also said that the current
solenoid sprinkler control valves would be replaced by manually operated ball
valves.
- Bob Swarthout recommended the board
create an Ad Hoc committee that would create a structured volunteer group to
ensure work at the park and fields is done. The committee would identify
work, plan, recruit, provide orientation and training, supervision and
evaluation, and recognition to volunteers. Volunteers would include Seniors,
Masters and Little League. The board created the Ad Hoc committee and
appointed Bob Swarthout as Chair.
- Steve Cochran is working on creating
the ballots for the All-Star Game that will show team players and their ages
for voting purposes. He will also determine what the median age is of league
members to possibly establish a new older age cutoff for the 50’s and above
team. Steve will work with Jim Keck in planning the game.
- The field golf cart is in need of
repair. The park has generously approved $1000.00 towards new batteries and a
charger to help in these repairs. Chamba Lane suggested the league look into
rebuilt batteries from a firm in Sacramento for future needs.
- The board MSP to allow Saturday team
B&C True Value to solicit a pitcher from outside the league or from weeknight
players as long as the player pays the per game fee to play.
- The board MSP to amend and clarify
Rule II D 9 to read Teams must bat all players and rotate defensive positions
to insure each player has at least three (3) innings of play in the course
of the game. Removed would be: for games lasting six innings
and four (4) innings of play for games lasting 7 innings.
- The board referred two rule
clarifications to the rules committee. Under rule
II C 4 Substitute players
include old rule language about the substitute list and the requirement
that no team shall play with less than 10 players if substitutes are signed up
on the list at the scorers table. Teams cannot refuse a substitute player to
get to a roster of 10 as long as rankings are not improved.
Under rule II C 2 Minimum /
Maximum Number of Players include language that states that games may not start
without a team having a minimum of 9 players. Current language states 6 players
to constitute a legal lineup. Look at old rule language for injury section
also. Contact Dave Anderson as a background resource on board direction on
these rule changes. Please provide rule committee recommendations to the
board by its June 3, 2009 meeting.
- Next meeting Wednesday, June 3, 2009 6:30 pm Players
Pizza, Penn Valley
- Special meeting scheduled for Wednesday, June 17, 2009
6:30 pm Players Pizza, Penn Valley to finalize All-Star team rosters and
planning.
