Regrets: Casey M

Note Taker: Kevin B

Agenda Item	Notes	Action/Decision Follow-up
Call to order at 8:04	Motion to accept agenda by Alex, Andy Motion to accept past meeting minutes by Kevin, Scott
President’s Report	Great job on Ice Bowl. Need to get Kodi paid for the lights. Joined Scott to meet with the city this Friday; lots of good news coming for Dief
Course development	Contacted the city councillor and Briarwood community association about Donna; asked for help fundraising for teepads; asked for information from the community about missing basket, but we’ll replace it ($400) Met with Mark from the city. The city has asked us to re-number holes such that hole #1 is close to the parking lot near the ball diamonds. The board agrees. We’ll plan to do this along with alternate tee placements in the spring. The city is ok with us using any space on the public side of the permanent fence around Optimist hill. This includes the east side of the hill, and LOTS of space North of the hill. The city is also planning to plant new trees to replace those lost in the Optimist hill work. They’re willing to work with us on where they will be placed. The city is also ok with using space near the current hole #12. Along with space near the hill, this makes room for several additional holes across the park. The board will plan alternate pin locations for this spring, along with re-numbering the holes, and work on teepads for the holes we have. Additional holes will come in future years (with new trees). The city is willing to work with us on putting a sign up at Reid. No sponsorships allowed.	Scott to send notes on potential new pin locations to the executive Andy to work on the design map to go on a permanent sign at Reid
Membership development	Registration page is now up on DGScene Sponsors sound like they will be the same as last year	James to send Kevin B list of sponsors
Leagues	Been looking into getting tags No other news PDGA league will be the same night as Gophertown, but we’ll try to start earlier to avoid issues with it getting too dark
Sport Development	$40 fees will cover a junior membership (valued @ $10) and event fees ($30) Looking for volunteer coaches. Ideally would like to have 1 coach per 4 kids
Tournaments	Ice Bowl was a success. 62 registrants (!) UDisc didn’t quite work out due to our choose-your-own-groups format. Participants were gracious Proposed dates for other tournaments this year: Spring Membership Drive – May 1 Trilogy Challenge – June 5 or 6 Summer Solstice – June 19 Sask open – July 24th/25th Ace Race – Sept 18 — volunteer TD needed NADGT series – maybe July 10. Would need a TD who has previously run a sanctioned event. Not sure anyone in Saskatoon qualifies
Communications	No updates.	Kevin B still to add sponsors to website.
Finance	Board positions updated with ISC Going into start of season with $5000 available to us
Adjourn meeting	Meeting adjourned at 9:21PM. Motion by Alex and Marc

Note Taker:

Agenda Item	Notes	Action/Decision Follow-up
Open meeting 802 Pm we have quorum, only Directors Reports on agenda	Add Sponsorship to agenda	Motion to approve, Scott, second Marc, passed.
Marc, do we have a deadline for sponsorship re membership?	James can speak to this. Are there any we want to add? Could bring sponsors into league, tournaments etc. Not just membership. Membership drive tentatively May 1st Late sponsors could be on our website, all really should. James want memberships before icebowl, does that affect end of year? We could change our end of year to smooth things out.	Kevin to update sponsors on website, also promote last years sponsors Jason to look into changing end of year filing date.
Tournaments	IceBowl, strong registration already. Mix of day and night, lights will be well used. Order should go in soon for icebowl merch May 1 for spring membership drive tournament, socially distance, casual. Should be good for covid. To get on Saskatoon Open organization asap. Can we change the name of the Saskatoon open? Sponsors may want to have a say	Kodi, starting work on Saskatoon Open
Leagues	Nothing to report
Sport Development	Little to report We should start a week or two after the membership drive, we could promo through the membership tournament.
Course development	Talking with City re signage and regulations. Course layout will be mostly what was tested, will confirm with the city. Need to confirm temp baskets. We lost basket #3 at Donna, striped to the pole. Can we reinforce baskets? Do we want to upgrade chains? Would this affect PDGA sanctioning of tournaments? Premade packages would cost 3K/park What about funding for signage? Would the City pitch in? Saskatoon tourism? Federated Coop could be an option. Send grants to Scott, he will look into them.	Scott will back and forth on signage with the City Scott will contact community organization re helping replace the basket. Scott will look at chains and PDGA approval

Secretary	Nothing to report
President	Nothing new to report. Waiting to pounce on the new pins at Diefenbaker.
Other business	Basket lights: won’t make an icebowl specific basket light. As far as club lights Working on a prototype that is lockable. Looking at a combination lock system.
