1.
LEAGUE BUDGET
After reviewing the last year's expenses and the projected expenses for 2012-2013, a discussion about how much of a fee increase is necessary was held.
In 2011-2012, the league fee was $400 per player. There were 8 teams with 15 players per team (120 players in the league).
In 2012-2013, there will be 119 fees collected because of a door prize at the Awards Night in April.
Those present voted that the league fee for this year will be $425 per player.
The budget has been approved as proposed by the Treasurer.

5. OPTIONAL ROSTER EXPANSION.
It has been agreed that teams concerned about having to play short handed may carry a 16th player on their roster.
To do so, the team must vote in favour of a 16th player. The vote must be monitored by a League Executive member who is not a member of that team.
The addition of the 16th player must be approved by the league captains as would any other roster change.
The 16th player would pay the regular player fee.
In the event all 16 roster members are present, all 16 are permitted to play in a game.
The 16th player is optional and no team need consider adding a 16th player unless the team captain wants to see if the majority of the team is in favour.
Rule number 16 of the League's Rules will be updated to reflect this after consultation with the Rules Committee Chairman and the team captains.
6. A meeting is anticipated to be held after Labour Day and prior to the September 21 beginning of play.
