June BFOA Board Meeting – Minutes                                             6/23/08

Meeting took place at
South Plantation High School

Start:
8:00pm,  Present: Craven, Taglienti, Gazzano, Bowen, Liese, Davis, Sager Not Present: Baker, Winston

Two Referee Replacements :
Craven asked that all board members turn in their ballots for the selection of the two open Referee positions.  Gazzano suggested before turning in ballots, that we discuss each evaluation, since each board member didn’t have the opportunity to see each candidate. Each board member who did evaluations of the candidates advised the board how each candidate did during the spring jamboree game.  Gazzano made a motion to have all five candidates meet with the board for a short question and answering interview to conclude the Referee selection process. Bowen seconded, all in favor, motion passed.

Training & Rules Interpreter:
Davis made a motion that Tommy James will be the Rules Interpreter assisted by Tom Winston. Liese seconded, all in favor, motion passed.

Blue Bean Bags:
There was considerable discussion about keeping white bean bags clean, what GMAC (Dade County) and Palm Beach County are doing (using blue bean bags) and the small cost of using new blue ones. Gazzano made a motion that we move to blue bean bags for this coming football season at both the Varsity and JV level.  Taglienti seconded, all in favor, motion passed.

New Business:
Tye Sager talked with Tom Zace who advised he wants to have a stronger emphasis mentoring the new members. As we have seen there is a promising number of new members and he is concerned that although training the new members to know rules and mechanics is important, mentoring is sometimes put aside. He doesn’t want that to happen. The board will discuss at the next board meeting how we can strengthen the mentoring aspect of the program.

Meeting Adjourned:
8:20 pm
