Financial Report: Randall went over the finances of the past

decline in membership. There was brief
discussion on recruitment
of more officials.
Election of board members: Susan presented the slate for board members
with terms
ending 31 December 2015. Those nominated were Lee Thornburg, Randall
Edwards, Terry Gatzki and Roz Tuerk.
There were no nominations from the floor. Randy moved to accept the slate as presented
by Susan. Seconded and passed.
The new board then voted Lee Thornburg - President, Susan Wertenberger
– Vice-President, Randall Edwards – Treasurer,
Roz Tuerk- Secretary.
Lee handed out copies of Article
XIII of the constitution (committees).
After some discussion a publicity
committee was formed. This committee
consists of Marsha Alexander, Jeannette Escutia, Randy McDonald, and Joe
Mounger. Also discussed was a web page.
Lee asked for volunteers for the nominating committee. The nominating committee for next year is
Susan Wertenberger, Stephanie Burnam, and Myron Krueger.
The formation of a Training and
Evaluation committee was next. This
committee shall consist of Randy McDonald (UIL & ITA), Myron Krueger,
Seande Pulley and Mara Chase.
There was lengthly discussion on
the budget for training and what happened to the thousand dollas grant. Nancy said that it did not go to the chair
academy, as originally thought. Nancy explained that it is a sectional
grant. The money is dispersed from
Austin. It goes directly to the
official. The problem is that money has
not been received by officials.
The discussion then moved onto
grassroots. The current MTOA web page is
not really used for assignments.
Susan volunteered to keep up with
the updated list of new officials. This
list will be updated every time a new official comes through Roving 101.
Training Money will be used for
shadowing compensation. There was also
discussion on the need for feedback to
referees after shadowing. More
discussion on how to keep new officials better informed. Seande stated that this is covered in Roving
101. Mentoring was also briefly
discussed.

Discipline and Grievance: Members of this committee are Myron Krueger,
Joe Mounger, and Gary Tolbert. In the
discussion that followed Randy suggested that Lee contact Austin. It appears that Austin does not always notify
MTOA when a complaint has been filed.
See if better communication can be had.
Randy moved to adjourn. It was seconded and passed.
Meeting adjourned at 7:30 p.m.
Respectfully submitted
