Review of Business from March 19^th 2006 Meeting

1. Charter was reviewed and ratified as the governing document of the league. Teams were advised to maintain copies of meeting notes as an adjunct to the charter.

2. Roger Ahnen was dismissed from refereeing in the WSFL for founded examples of bias and overcharging teams for refereeing services. Work was to begin on finding new referees in that region. At time of this printing, Scott Kessler was in contact with Mike Nukkles, but nothing was yet confirmed.

3. Scott Kessler requested that every team attempt to submit a local referee contact.

4. The Beloit Hawks and Fox Valley Force were both accepted as WSFL teams for the 2006 season by 6-1 votes.

5. By unanimous vote the league permitted the Patriots to participate with only a white jersey, and the Bobcats with only black. Another unanimous vote decided that teams participating with only one jersey color would not have a uniform exception as per the league charter.

6. Referee pay was unanimously increased to $65 per referee split by the two teams. ($325 for a 5-man crew -- $165/team. Recommend $165 per team for good faith).

7. Team commitment form (Appendix B in the Charter) is due along with $800 league dues by May 15^th to be included on this years schedule. Please make a copy of Appendix B as it is our hope that you will use it again next year and in years to come.

8. Player conduct forms (Appendix A in Charter) should also be copied and signed by players as quickly as possible. Please remember no player will be recognized as part of a team until form is signed and returned to the commissioner. Again, you will need to make copies for 1 per player.

9. Unanimous vote upheld NFL rulebook allowing for a 53 man active roster. Rosters will be closed by the Wednesday after the second week of the season. Additional players may be added based on need with the competition board determining need. The board will be individually contacted by phone by the commissioner.

10. Unanimous vote indicated to pursue Hartland/Arrowhead stadium for Championship Game.

11. Discussed team funding. Player dues were encouraged. Derek Diehl introduced the benefits available at www.wisesavings.com for a fundraiser. Rick Hartman displayed the printed schedules with listed sponsors. Brat fries, Raffles, and other smaller fundraisers also indicated fun and effective.
