President@wickliffebaseball.org).

Old Business

 The position of Umpire in Chief – The only nomination was for Tony Pasquino.  He wins unopposed 7-0.

New Business:

1)      AT&T Phone Line – Pugh and Novotney notified the board that the WBL is paying for a phone line that no one uses. 

Motion by Pugh, seconded by Levon to cancel the phone line – Motion passed

2)      Delinquent accounts – There are people who still owe the WBL money from 2014 & 2015.  It was discussed and decided that we would send these people letters to make them aware of the situation.

3)      14U rec tournament team – Johnson wanted to know if we will be naming a coach for the Pony tournament team.  It was decided that we would cross that bridge based on the number of kids interested in playing on that tournament team.

4)      Bylaws – Levon discussed the current bylaws, and the need to expand on them.  Too many of our rules and decisions are based on tribal knowledge and not in writing for us to refer to when situations arrive.  He passed out a rough draft of updated bylaws that will be discussed at next month’s meeting.

Meeting ended 8:47

Date of next meeting – November 19, 2015 at 8pm
