ICE CONVENOR

Dave Monshaw made a presentation concerning the current schedule and issues involved with completing the schedule. Dave reported that in the current state it would be extremely difficult for him to complete the schedule with all the variables thrown in.  

 Options available to complete schedule: 

  1. Mr. Collins who completes schedule for Norcal has started his own scheduling company and is available at a fee of $18,000.

  2. Bortz Media who handles NHL, NBA and NCAA schedules can be contracted for $12,000 to finish schedule with Dave as the contact person and assisting. Dave would waive his stipend if this option is selected and will assist Bortz Media throughout the season with the day-to-day issues.

  3. Ken Cronk submitted his request to be considered to become new ice convenor. Compensation would be same as currently budgeted for.

Discussion followed along with questions and answers. 
 

Valarie Broadhead moved to go forward with Bortz Media and to continue with the stipend payment to Dave Monshaw. Later in season will need to review for next season to prevent same issues with scheduling occurring next season. MOTION WAS SECONDED AND CARRIED.
