Meeting began at 7:05 P.M. at Tommy James’s house.

Members present: John Craven, Steve Epstein, Roy Getzoff, Tommy James, Vince Mundo, Larry Simpson, and Tom Winston.

Tommy read the June 14 General Meeting minutes. There was NO Board meeting.

Treasurer’s Report- - Tag collected over $3,000 at the June 14 meeting at South Plantation.

Order of Pick Meeting: By July 19 the Draft order will be established. By August 2 each white hat must disclose which members of his 2003 crew he wants to retain (up to two crew members) for the 2004 season. Any crew member that does not want to be on a particular white hat’s crew can inform Vince Mundo in advance.

Retiring referee Richard Collura has requested to work on Steve Cairdello's crew.  The Board decided that if Ciardiello wants Collura (who was not on Ciardiello’s crew last year) on his 2004 crew, he can take Rich as one of his freezes.

The 2004 Evaluations Committee chairman will be Todd Wilson. Other members will be Larry Bowen, Teddy Brown, Frank Lawrence, Larry Owens, and Marc Rodwell.  Even after being notified of the Evaluations Committee meeting at John Craven’s house. There were minor changes in the black hat evaluation form. All of the black hats will indicate who they think are the ten best white hats (of the sixteen crews) and these white hats will be submitted to the state for playoff games. Vince recommends that we submit just nine crews instead of ten to the state for playoffs. John said we need more black hats to do evaluations.

The Board recommends that John Gazzano head up the Mentoring program. Most of the Mentorees will either time the game or watch from the sidelines on Thursdays and Fridays.  They will usually be with their youth league white hat on those nights.

Steve recommended that we suggest to Damien Huttenhoff that travel fees be contingent upon gas prices.

Steve recommended that we send officials to schools during preseason training to lend assistance to the coaches on any football rules, etc. in exchange for better hospitality for officials (parking, dressing facilities, refreshments, etc.) at the game sites.

Private schools must pay the BCAA $500, and in return for this, the BCAA supplies  officials for all sports to them.

Our football meeting association will continue to meet in the auditorium, even though the parking lot next to it is off limits. The cafeteria is just not conducive to a successful meeting.

Tom will show the NCAA mechanics video during the three membership meetings prior to the beginning of the regular season football games. Five-man mechanics will be emphasized during these meetings. On September 7 (the week prior to JV games) 4-man mechanics will be emphasized. What to call and what not to call will be emphasized during these mechanics sessions.  In other words CONSISTENCY is our goal for all crews.

Vince expatiated on the assets and liabilities of four venues (Rolling Hills Country Club, Signature Grand, the Renaissance, and Bonaventure Country Club) where we might hold our football banquet. Before a final decision is made, several board members are going to dine at the Renaissance on Sunday, June 27. If we choose the Renaissance, it will cost $28.75 per person. If we want to bring our spouse, it will cost the spouse $25.00.

Future Board meetings will be held after our General association meetings.

The state gave us an ATTENDANCE SHEET in which there is a space for putting your name once and two columns for the time one signs in and signs out. As to how to facilitate the procedure is still undecided.

Meeting ended at 9:21.
