6.      Sea-King District 2 Executive Board President Report:  Gill James

A.     Violations.  No violations reported by leagues at this time.

B.     Executive Board Calendar.  The board reviewed the proposed calendar for the year.

C.     Service Fees & 2003-2004 Travel Points.  Marilyn distributed or mailed the service fees for the administrative costs of the district. 

D.     Distribution of 2003-2004 Excess Funds.  Marilyn projected that at the beginning of the fiscal year, we had $71K in district accounts.  Our policy is to keep $40K in the accounts and distribute the rest.  Therefore, she recommends that we distribute $31K in excess funds. Approved $31K to be distributed to the leagues.

E.      District Tournament Allocations.  The board discussed all of the potential allocations and tournaments for the coming 2-year cycle.  Two issues that need to be decided soon are the 3A number of teams in a tourney and how to split allocations between Metro and Kingco in the “regional” sports of football, soccer, and baseball.  The board voted to stay with the same tournament formats as the previous year.  M/S/P to play the 12 team format for the 3A tournaments.  In 3A, we likely will have a split of 3/1 and 2/2 allocations in the next two year cycle.  Metro was asked to discuss the option of combining each year with Metro #3 vs. Kingco #2 in each of the regional sports.  After discussion, the Metro League voted to not accept the proposal.  The board hoped that Kingco and Metro could come to some compromise solution.  With no solution at hand, the board needed to vote whether to accept the numbers as they stand or to make another determination.  The board voted to allocate based on numbers only for football, soccer, and baseball.   The motion failed.  A motion was made to follow the interpretation of the district handbook which states that there are no tourneys in the sports of football, soccer, and baseball and that allocations are determined by numbers.  M/S/P.  It was recommended then that Kingco discuss with Metro the possibility of going with the 2/2 allocation breakdown in Year 1 and giving more time to discuss the Year 2 and the 3/1 allocation.

F.      Proposed Amendment to Constitution – Tabled till next meeting.

G.     Fall District Tournament Dates, Sites & Managers.  Board members reported on the district tournaments.  Marilyn will put it on the website as we determine managers and dates.

H.     2004-2005 Sea-King Dist. 2 Committees – tabled to next meeting

I.        2004-2005 Sea-King Dist. 2 Annual Goals – tabled to next meeting

J.       WSSAAA Report  - Tom reported that District 2 has a WSSAAA board position available.  AD’s have been solicited to see interest in serving on the board.  The District Board will make a selection from those interested at the October meeting.

K.     Review of 2003-2004 Annual Financial Report - Jim Murphy.  Jim handed out the annual audit report and the working papers from the Audit.  The board discussed the fact that US Bank charging us for depositing cash from tourneys.   The board clearly thinks this doesn’t make sense.  There is a recommendation to investigate moving to a more responsive bank.  Jim was concerned about the Ticket Reconciliation reports that came from schools.  He re-emphasized the procedures that ought to be used by managers and asked that we encourage managers to do it properly.  Jim pointed out the annual audit report that goes to the WIAA where revenues were down 19% and expenses were down 7%.  Revenue is often affected by the number of 2nd round tournament contests we have in football and soccer.  We didn’t have as many teams in the second round this year as the previous year.  Financially, District 2 is in good shape.  Every single transaction and the backup/detail was checked and validated.
