7:41 PM                       League Reports

 

Disciplinary Chairmen’s Report; Hans Rothkehl

                                   

Hans stated that the San Ramon League Club website notes the players from DASL with yellow and/or red cards (a link from the DASL site exists). If the pass has not been mailed back by Hans then do not create a new one for those players. If there is an excuse like “I lost my pass” check the website, if there is not a date on the table, the pass has not been mailed back. These are now available on the DASL site. It is no longer necessary to go to the San Ramon League Club site.

 

Hans also reminded everyone to make sure that the game cards are filled out correctly. City reps need to make sure they are filled out correctly. It was noted that Hans has been making this same statement for many years and that it is time that everyone make this happen.

 

 

Operations Report; Wes Motschmann

 

Wes reported that the “schedule” is completed. Initially he had planned to fill in the times and fields, however, he found that to be almost impossible. The solution was to create the schedule and ask the city/team reps to fill in the times and fields. At this time San Ramon, Orinda and Danville has all information filled in. Walnut Creek will need to be complete by the February 19, 2003.

 

 

Registrar/Treasurer Reports; Pam Blessington

 

Pam noted the DASL account balance is $3865.10.

 

The insurance company DASL currently has a contract with, Gagliardi Insurance Services, came through with the renewal at 6:30 this evening. Due to this good news, no money is due from the teams at this time; the payments that were made in the fall will cover the necessary funding.

 

Pam also reported that Kicken’ Grass has officially accepted Grasskickers as their name.

 

 

8:17 PM                       City Rep Reports

 

Danville, Karl Thomas

 

Karl expressed that Danville was mostly concerned about the insurance issue and noted that he is happy with the end result and will notify the city board as soon as possible. He will be sending Sabrina and/or Pam the names and addresses of the people who need notification of the insurance.

 

There was discussion about what needs to be on the insurance certificate in order for the notification of insurance coverage to be accepted.

 

Karl also reported that he will be sending 3 versions of the master rosters to Pam and will be turning in all the old cards.

 

It was also noted that the 39ers will change their name but it is unknown at this time (later found to be the Storm).

 

 

San Ramon, Mike Dunne

 

Mike had nothing to report.

 

 

Walnut Creek, Linda Zoccoli

 

Linda indicated that St. Mary’s College will need to be on the list for the insurance certificate. There was question as to whether the address is needed.

 

Linda also asked that she get back a pass of a player that was turned in last season and turned a different pass in as well.

 

Sabrina clarified the field situation; Tyce (1 field) in March, Rudgear (1 field) for the 1st two weeks in May. Albarado (2 fields) for June.

 

San Ramon volunteered field availability for Walnut Creek if necessary.

 

 

Orinda, No Representation

 

Nothing reported

 

 

8:15 PM                       Old/Unfinished Business

 

Insurance costs will be covered by fees paid in the fall 2002. Insurance costs for 2004 will be addressed in the fall 2003.

 

There was discussion around the proposed disciplinary rule change, the proposal being; if a player has been notified that they need to turn there pass in, they have 8 days from the date the notice was mailed to get the pass to Hans. If the pass is not received by Hans by that time, the team will have to forfeit each game after that limit until the pass is received. Further discussion is needed before this will be finalized.
