LAPL Board Meeting
9/30 at 8:00 p.m.
Meeting called to order at 8:20 p.m. Members present: Steve Duckman, Malisa Mapu, Gibbi Tkatch, Jose Torres, Cliff Giles, Jr., and Al Ballesteros.
#1
Due to continuing COVID rules, venues are still not open and play can not begin/resume. Therefore, the season should be officially cancelled. Motion: End/Cancel the Fall 2020 Season (Cliff/Gibbi; unanimous).
#2
Discussed approach to membership and dues when the league is able to restart. Motion: Next season will be free of charge for all members when we are able to restart. (Al/Gibbi; unanimous)
#3
The four cities Presidents met on zoom and discussed inability to schedule a WCC until each city's league is made stable after they restart. This is due to teams being disbursed, venues being closed and players needed to reconstitute leagues. The expense of WCC being held twice a year was also discussed in light of the current situation. A proposal to move WCC to a once a year event was drafted by Joan of the SF Pool League for discussion and approval by each of the cities. LA BOG discussed this proposal. Motion was placed on the table to recommend to the membership a once a year WCC (Al/Gibbi; unanimous).
Finance report. Cliff reported there is $1,138.24 in the savings account/help account; and $10,352.13 in the league checking account. Outstanding are payables of approximately $1,200, primarily to A. Ballesteros for 2019/2020 league fees paid to BCA which still is being reconciled and will be reimbursed.
BOG: The members of BOG will remain in place as per motion at the last meeting until new elections can be held once the league is able to being play again. Malisa Mapu has relocated to Washington State but has agreed to remain on the BOG for now.
