LISC Executive Committee Meeting
July 14, 2005

Urbana Assembly of God

Present: Gary Sullan, Derrick Vannice, Ron Walton, Amy Hall, Pat Kemme, Amy Jenkins and Rick Hazlewood

Absent: Robert Baird, Ben Mueller, Trey Bradberry

Visiting Members: Mike Wingo and Karl Newman

Minutes submitted by Pat Kemme were approved.

Mike Wingo brought up the discussion about the position of ex-President being on the board. After discussion and a quick review of the by-laws it was discovered that the position no longer exists.  Mike asked if he would be considered to named to one of the open Acting Director at Large positions.  He was nominated and the vote was 7-0.

Ron Walton nominated Jennifer Clarke to another Director at Large position with the intent of her filling the role of Coordinator of Volunteer Services. It was seconded and she too was named to the role of Acting Director at Large until the elections are held.

Mike Wingo brought up the fact that there are some boys who tried out for the club, were not put on a team, and no one from the club has notified the boys and their parents.  Since Trey was not there, Amy Jenkins said she would check with Trey about what was going on with this situation.

Ron brought up for review and approval the coaching plan that Trey had distributed at the last meeting.  It was reported that some of the committee that was charged with the task of developing it had not even seen the plan until the last meeting.

This discussion went into the impact this plan would have on the operating budget and its feasibility. 

Ron then proposed and was seconded by Derrick Vannice that the committee authorize the funds (not to exceed $12,650) to implement the first half of the plan as described in the plan as submitted by the Director of Coaching and reflected in the proposed budget for the 2005-2006 fiscal year.  The vote was 6-2 in favor with Rick Hazlewood and Gary Sullan opposing. 

Mike proposed that he or someone else serve as a mentor for the Director of Coaching with the aim of reducing the administrative workload that the DOC has acquired.  Due to the impending elections, it was decided to delay any action on this item until the results are known.

Ron proposed and Mike seconded to raise the current DOC’s salary 5% with a formal contract being signed this year that included a clause that the Director of Coaching is required go approval from the executive committee before participating in any non-LISC soccer activity that he would receive compensation for.   The vote was 7-1 in favor of the proposal with Gary Sullan dissenting.

Ron began reviewing the past financial reports of the Fall Cup tournaments.  A finance oversight committee will be formed according to the new by-laws and begin meeting in early August.  It will start with the Fall Cup accounts so we can make decisions based on decreasing costs and increasing the revenues for the club.

Election Update.

The committee adopted the proposed timeline for these elections as proposed by the Election Committee.

The voting status for the boys who just completed their last season of play on the U18 team will not get to vote since they are technically not eligible to vote as they are not members of the club anymore.  However, any families who have boys on that team and on other teams in the club will have a vote.

The next meeting is at Westview Elementary School on the second Tuesday of August.
