* Amendments to February Minutes are as follows:

Secretary's Report correction - No parents talked to Linda. Two complaints were made to Jay - one recently and one at the end of the season.

Soccer correction - Kickers would like to have a tournament and asked if there are any available times. BPAA soccer is scheduled first.

Misc correction - Don't see resident fees going up, as least for now.

* Will have at next meeting. At present do not have enough copies.

* Having a sports camp on May 12 for grades 1-6 (age appropriate). Coach Westermann and some of his assistants, together with BPAA coaches, will be present.

* Two registrations are set for before school ends.

* Talked to the field staff and Jay regarding fields.

* Plans for a second field at Central is 3-5 years out.

* In the recent past only softball has been showing up to participate in the Tater Daze parade. Would like other sports to participate - baseball, football, basketball and soccer. Tater Daze begins June 17.

* One problem in the 5th grade championship game - coach is out for the program.

* Was $8 per hour per gym in Anoka. This year got notice in November that there was an additional $5 charge per court. Compromised for this year. Next year it will be $13 per court. Need to work the numbers into the budget for next year.

* EZScoreboard - talked to Mohammed. He is willing to meet before the sale finalizes to work out an agreement so it's better before the sale than after.

* Insurance policy was $5,000. Insurance cost is speculated based on number of games.

* Late sign-up night will be Saturday. Should be on website.

* Tryouts will be in Minnetonka - real grass turf.

* Will advertise with Tater Daze about the tournament.

* A coach, Dave Contraris, passed away Thursday. A memorial check to the family was sent by BPAA Baseball. Visitation is tonight, funeral March 23.

* Forgot the budget; will have at next meeting.

* Discussed creating a list of "bad coaches" so other sports are aware of possible problems.

* Purchased four portable pitching mounds. Will need storage for them, possibly warming house building?

* Need to talk to softball regarding number of fields.

* Last formal registration is set for March 15.

* In the process of creating teams. Should have rosters next month.

* Busy with field scheduling for soccer and softball

* Passed out sheets to get permits for "Special Events." You will need a permit for concessions, a building permit for tents. Also distributed Scheduling Policies and Procedures.

* If charging a fee per athlete that means essentially two sports (basketball and soccer) will be funding most of the shed.

* Possibly adjusting the cost across the sports, possibly paying off the shed in 5 years, etc.

* Should we wait a year to build, but start collecting now so we have a larger downpayment?

* Will the City leave Central Park shed up for another year? Who decides to tear it down?

* When we do present to City Council we should have the budgets for all sports and see if some can help out others.

* A new cash register was purchased for use at registrations

FAREWELL:
* Richard Habstritt has retired from BPAA. Thank you for your many years of volunteering.

* We have three new members handling basketball -

Our next meeting is Tuesday, April 26 at 7:30 p.m. (Late starts begin in May.) Will be at Brooklyn Park Community Center, Senior Room #1.
