Apologies: Denise, John

Follow Up- From Last meeting

Cam:

·        Kevin Kennedy has offered to pay for “Respect for Ref” signs

·        Cam brought in a few sayings to circulate to the group

·        Cam will pick a few to get made up, the arena will let us hang up signs, after they are made we just have to pass them by them – suggestion for one dozen signs between the 2 arenas

·        Ref Scholarship is to be applied for in October

·        Missed this years application, will apply for next year

·        Still have scholarship money from last year that was not used, Cam will pick a deserving Ref for this years scholarship

 

Lynne:

·        The city does not have a policy on people being in the penalty box

·        It is up to TMH to enforce this.

·        Lynne will get 4 signs made up stating “ NO unauthorized personal allowed in here” for the penalty boxes

·        There has been no response from the city regarding Skaters leaving holes in the ice. They said they would talk to them. We have not had this issue brought up to us again from TMH coaches…if it does rise again we will need to let the City know.

·        This issue should be brought up at the next ice users meeting

District Meeting in Smithers:

 

·        District Meeting in Smithers

·        May 15th & 16th

·        Cam & Lynne have committed to go

·        Terri will go if not prom weekend

·        Issues to bring up is the Zone play down format (Lawrence to write up proposal)

 AND the point system for Rep games

 

New Business:

 

1.     Islanders Equipment

  • Some ideas came in on how to deal with it, however the equipment has just started to come in so we will table topic this and discuss when it is all in.

 

 

2.     Association Credit Card:

·        Proposal came in from John for Association to get a credit card to use to pay some the association’s bills, and then accumulate air miles that can be used for AGM travel, Ref Travel, or to bring in people for seminars.

·        A discussion followed that John was to look in to Hockey Canada’s Rate and see if they offer a package of a credit card and merchant card to accept visa /MC payment that may be cheaper than getting a credit card with our bank and using Goaline for registration payment separately.

·        John/Darren has meanwhile looked into the rates and they have been copied below from March 23rd emails.

 

Hockey Canada’s Rates:

2.69% for MasterCard and 2.54% for Visa

.99 Per transaction

 29.99 Per month

325.00 setup fee

 

The fees for Goaline are as follows:

2.79% Visa, MasterCard processing fee

0.45$ per transfer

15$ per month

100$ per 1 time setup

 

  Overall, I would say that these two systems will cost us virtually the same amount - John

 

·        A Motion was put forth that once rates were looked into and if it was cost effective to use goaline for Visa/MC payment and our own Bank to get a Credit card that TMHA supports getting a credit card to accumulate Air miles.. see below

 

·        Motion to read. “Terrace Minor Hockey Association will apply for a Credit Card to use to pay bills that the Association has money in the bank to pay for, to accumulate Air Miles.  The Credit Card statement will be paid in full monthly so that no interest is accumulated. The Credit card will be in the Treasures’ name and be kept on file by the Treasurer” 2nd by: Lynne – All in favor

 

 

 

3.     Online Credit Card registration:

·        TMHA will be taking on line credit card registration for fees for the upcoming 2010/2011 Season.

·        Once Merchant fees are looked into from Hockey Canada & Goaline, then Darren will set up through the site to accept credit card payments.

 

 

4.     Extending Credit for registration fees:

·        A discussion took place on accepting post dated cheques or extending credit to families when paying for their hockey registration at the beginning of the season.

·        A Motion was put forth that registration payment is expected in full at the start of the TMHA season unless a written request is submitted with the registration to the treasurer outlining the circumstances and the plan of payment. The request will then be reviewed.

      Motion put forth by Dave D. 2nd by Darren – All in favor

 

5.     Outstanding Registration Money

·        There is still $1655.00 outstanding in registration few from the 2009/2010 season.

 

 

 

 

 

   6. Spitting Issue:

·        A meeting took place with the City of Terrace and TMH will not pay for any bills from the City regarding spitting.  It is not in our current contract to do so.  TMHA will work with their players to enforce the new rule that will take some time to get used to. This would be a good subject to go over at the ice users meeting

 

7. Email Letter

·        Lynne will reply to this letter regarding the basic questions that were asked.

 

8. Coaches Evaluations/ Policies

·        Currently receiving these. A discussion took place on what the language would be for a policy that would be on disciplinary issues or letters brought to the board with concerns. Ex: Should they have to be signed, what would the acceptable standard be for evaluations? It is welcomed that wording and ideas be brought forward for this.

·        Policy Manual / Parents Hand Book: John S. will apply for a Student Grant to hire a student over the summer to go through the policy manual and update with all the changes in polices that have been made. The Student will also update the Parent Hand book and have it printed and ready for hand out for the 2010/11 registration season.

·        Motion put forward that TMHA support John in hiring a student to update the TMHA policy manual & parent handbook to have completed for the upcoming season, and apply for a student grant to help cover some of or all of the cost.

      2nd by Darren – All in favor
