Motion carried.

League Reports:

Disciplinary Chairmen’s Report: Pat McNamara (Not Present)

Via E-mail

· City Representatives need to expedite sending player passes to the Disciplinary Chairman when Red cards have been issued. Currently, the process is too slow and can result in players missing additional games.

· The Treasurer should have received some money from Jim Walshe for 20 patches distributed pre-season.

Operations Report: Adam Germek

· Issue regarding which team would go to the Premier Division has been resolved with Internationals moving up. The procedure that is currently posted on the web site will be what is followed for promotion/demotion in the future.

· There have been a few schedule problems (the time for one game had to be shifted because they had no referees available) but they have been worked out.

· There are potential field problem for October 10^th due to youth tournaments.

· If there needs to be any updates to the Web site, people should send an e-mail to AG regarding the update. He will follow up with GS.

· There is now a sponsor shown on the web site – US Teamwear. They promise to offer fair prices to DASL players.

Registrar Report: Karl Thomas (Not Present)

· No Report

Treasurer Reports: Pam Blessington

· Needs $100 per team payment as soon as possible.

City Rep Reports:

Orinda: Stuart McAllister

· Has turned in payment and roster. He will turn in new waiver forms directly to KT.

· Orinda team (Heavy Traffic) when home team, may use 3 referees when circumstances make this appropriate. Visiting teams should be prepared to pay half of the referee cost which for a 3 referee game would be half of $125 or $62.50.

Danville: Christine Helmer

· All Danville teams said they would be OK with just 2 referees, even in Premier Division. As noted above, when Heavy Traffic, as Home Team, plays a Danville team, both teams will split the cost of all 3 referees.

San Ramon: Bill Gilfillan

· Not sure whether or not they prefer 2 Referees or 3 Referees in Premier Division.

· Noticed that the Web Page had been changed in regard to Ties on the Standings Page. Also noted that there are many other updates to be made. (As noted above, all changes should be sent to AG. who will see that they are implemented.)

· Noted that regardless of the team colors shown on the Team Representative Web page, the home team must change if both teams show up with the same color jerseys. Suggested that City Representatives poll each team to confirm team colors as well as team representatives’ names/telephone numbers.

Walnut Creek: Cindy Phillips

· Confirmed that Walnut Creek fields were set for this session.

Unfinished Business:

None.

New Business:

· Need to settle accounting for the referee badges.

· It was suggested that the referees mail the game cards to the disciplinary Chairman since they mail game summaries anyway. This was not agreed upon since the City Representatives must first review cards for completeness including signatures. SR will produce labels for City Representatives to use in sending game cards to the Vice President – Operations (AG)

· Money from the Diablo Cup for Mustang Soccer was delivered.

· Since we are currently two teams short of the optimum number of teams (30) we should all keep on the look out for more teams. (The unbalance of divisions creates an issue when promoting/demoting teams at the end of each session.) We don’t, however, want to promote current DASL teams splitting up.

Member’s Concerns:

None.

Meeting adjourned at 8:45 pm.
