5. promotion/relegation/division set up. 20 teams returning = 8/6/6 divisions. this was changed for 2010 into 2 divisions, each of 10 teams. falcons and rams promoted to the premier with no relegation. all others go into first division. this to hold for 2010.

6. $$$$. there was no 2009 statement available although looking ok from available information.
the final position as advised to phsa was a makeshift showing a small balance in favour. hopefully more update accurate info will be available soon. budget for 2010 to be provided prior to the next meeting in earl may - looking similar to 2009 at the moment.

7. voluntary screening. martin merrick attended a discovery meeting at phsa on league behalf. martin sent an email report to all members in march. each league administrator/executive member has to submit to screening and maybe also coaches and managers. phsa has been asked to verify and provide more information. [this is handed down from the government/csa/osa/phsa to all members and is a legal requirement - an attempt to preclude abusers from positions of trust. police clearance, at 'your' expense is one definite requirement of the process].
more info as it becomes available.

2) Old business 1 - executive positions have yet to be filled - pres./secretary./registrar/ref coordinator - the latter two being very important and requiring URGENT attention from members. the ref coordinator in particular is required. a computer system of appointments is available via an Ottawa concern and more costly than our past method (around $750 for the appointee's work).

3) Old business 2 - 2008 trophy presentations were postponed due to two main factors. lack of contact between exec members and teams laxness in returning major trophies and in submitting MVPs. all hopefully, will be cleared in time for next meeting.

T already following up on this. FMU and GMSC are also included in the city of Mississauga certificate. This cover is for public liability and runs from 01 May until 31 October and the certificates are for field issuing authorities. [teams will probably require to show a copy with their field application request]. Injury cover runs from 01 October until 30 September and is separate from above and no certificates are given out for this part'

7) 2009 fields - Georgetown and U of T fields are already known and booked. others 'get on your bikes'. GMSC have agreed to share the u of t field with FM United.

26 MARCH 09

1) I have received a request from Keith Dunn representing the players of the above banned team from last season. I have invited Keith to the meeting on Sunday March 29th to 'put his case' and answer any questions you may have. Keith states that the management of last season are no longer involved with the team and that not all of the players are part of 2009. The team still has the late time slot at the same field in Acton. He will be running the team. As to last season, not one of the Villa players were officially registered with the league or with PHSA, as the 2008 management had stated and, so, the team forfeited all games played, league and playoffs.

2) Not returning from 2008 are Lions (not enough interest or players) and Milton United - unregistered. Returning are Gunners2 (with your agreement) & possibly the 'new Villa' (with membership approval).
See y'all Sunday 2:00 pm & do not forget your initial payment.
Alex
