The meeting was held at 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday, July 27, at the Brooklyn Park Community Center.

* Dede Boelter, Mike Moriarity, John Koch, Jay Lotthammer, Markus Carter, Dan Williams, Wayne Heuer, Dave Corbett, Ed Ampe, John Lundquist, David Gulbrandson

* FYI "You Name It" is a business that embroiders group names and other info on shirts and jerseys. Perhaps sports can use? Wayne will have pertinent information at next meeting.

* Mike Moriarity is handling Fast Pitch Softball for now.

* A pastor who is involved in the soccer program objected to Sunday practices. Is this something we should be concerned about? We don't punish players for missing practice/games due to religion.

* We have approximately 1,500 players and 104 teams.

* Headaches - a player tripped and wanted to sue; there was a fight in the stands.

* Working out the bugs at the Noble Sports Park's irrigation system.

* In addition at Noble Sports Park would like more trash cans, clean the porta pottis more often, leave lights on til 10:15 p.m. At present they shut off at 10 p.m.

* Year-end party set to be held at Northwoods.

* Will be meeting to merge with Babe Ruth Baseball, ages 5-18 will be one league.

* Need to make some of the fields smaller for mid-age players (not 90' bases).

* Wayne wants to meet to discuss next year's fields with Jay & Dave C.

* Kids were throwing M-80's during a game at Zanewood and afterward doing drugs. Not players.

* Done for the year; no major problems or issues.

* At the equipment turn in discovered stuff had been moved/disrupted. Some boxes were gone. John maybe moved them to the football area.

* The end-of-season picnic is set for July 28 at Central Park.

* Sent Jay an e-mail regarding the porta-potties at the tournament. Not one was clean/useable. Would like permanent (flush) toilets.

* Will probably start a boys team; Terry Parks would be the program director. Champlin & Andover have boys softball teams. Will start with older kids and work our way down.

* Will be meeting with Dan and the architect at the current facility to discuss square feet, footprint, compartments, shelving, etc, so the architect can get a feel for the space needs and who uses it.

* Will lay out a master building plan at Zane for storage, toilets and concessions (priority in this order).

* Hopfully put storage building at the south side of Zane Sport Park - south of softball field 7 by the church.

* Can't put all three together - it's too much for the one spot.

* The City is not hiring any more maintenance people so cleaning permanent toilets would be more trouble.

* Re cleaning porta-potties, there were a lot of graduation parties in June so Biff's was spread pretty thin for dumping & cleaning.

* We can save money by teams doing their own dragging & chalk. Perhaps store a tack box with a lock at fields behind the back stop. Implement?

* Registration is July 28. Four registration dates are scheduled. Will put on marquee.

* Brooklyn Center will be playing with us.

* Second and third grades are instructional. Coaches will be on the field all season - they will not be competitive.

* Fall league registration is set for August 2-3.

* Will be August 22 through September 25.

* Will need two fields for fall ball at the wheel.

* Will get registration forms to Dave C to enter into data bank.

Next meeting is Tuesday, August 24 at 8:30 p.m. Senior Center #1.
