Treasurer’s report—The NMSAA currently has $470.07 in its checking account at Wells Fargo Bank in Shelby.

 

NMSAA Dues for this have been paid by Sunburst, Heart Butte, and CJI. We could still suspend dues for this if we wanted to, and SB, HB, and CJI would not have to pay dues next year.

 

Motion to suspend dues was made by Bryan, Seconded Scott. Three schools have already paid for this year, and those payments will roll over for next year’s seasons.

 

Gail Davis discussed VB refereeing concerns. Most schools will have Gail find refs for the VB teams’ home games.

 

Constitutional wording change

Bryan motioned to reword our constitution that warm-up time before all matches should be 12 minutes:  4 minutes (coin flip time/combined warm-ups), 3 min., 3 min, 2 min. (serve). Second: John.

Gail proposed referee payments should be. Motion: John. Any MOA officials arranged through NMSAA should be paid $0.25 a mile (driver) $0.08 (passenger). $25.00 a match. An all day format (more than 3 matches) would be = $85.00. Seconded: Bryan. Passed unanimously.

 

Discussion for scoring information for wrestling took place. Scott asked us to give this handout (email from Randy Shepard to Scott) to our wrestling coaches. Scott said that it wouldn’t change who wins tournaments or placing. Any changes will be made at the next meeting.

 

Discussion involving times between basketball games and warm ups occurred. No action was taken.

Discussion involving wrestling start times occurred. No action was taken.

 

Motion: John .We should allow Choteau and Fairfield to join NMSAA. Scott seconded. Discussion took place. Vote: unanimously passed.

 

What do we do if our make-up conference games cannot be made up? An idea was that we schedule only non-conference games on the last week, so if needed, conference games can be made up if necessary. No further discussion.

 

Boys basketball tournament seeding took place.

 

Next meeting is March 9th at 9AM in CB.

Motion to adjourn meeting: John. Seconded: Bryan. Passed unanimously.
