Outreach Report

Found a venue that looked good for us but came to find out they wanted to charge us each week we played.

Steve Mentioned Spring Street Grill in northeast Minneapolis


Old Business

Forgot to look into different locks for boards


New Business

Phil brought up if we continue to have an odd number of teams, that we would still play during bye weeks, against dummy scores. Shawn made a motion in the chance that there is an odd number of teams we would still play on bye weeks, seconded by Gary

Discussion: decided to have the dummy score for playing the by week team at 75 and keeping the normal dummy score at 100. Motioned Passed

Shawn made a motion we pay $500.00 a year stipend to the treasurer

Discussion: Discussed it's a lot more work with the 501 c3. Discussed paying for it by using the .75 weekly we put into dart board fund and use it to pay the stipend. Will pay it at the end of the year. Shawn made a different motion of paying the treasurer $500.00 per year at the end of the year, and to pay for it with the $.75 per week that goes into the dart board fund, seconded by Annie motion passed Discussed afterward also having to change the bylaws.

Discussed making the treasurer an appointed position, both Catalina and Kellie thought it was a bad idea, so discussion was dropped.

Catalina made a motion to make the secretary position an officer voted on position, and to make the Captains Rep. an appointed position. Seconded by Gary.

Discussion: Annie brought up we can't make those changes without first changing the bylaws. It was decided to table this until the bylaw meeting.

Discussed forfeiting for no reason, decided to table that discussion as well

Discussed if teams do not have spotters to remember to ask the other team to help spot, and not just assume, and to other captains that they don't need to feel obligated just to pick up darts and spot.
