Beth Castle, President
Val Vollmin, Treasurer (Via Zoom)
Trevor Thorne, Secretary
Diana Ballato, Director at Large
Cheryl Casey, Events and Player Development
Sandy Angle, Director at large
Katie Westermann, Admin/communications

Beth Castle called the meeting to order at 2.01pm 4/18/23.
Court Allocation:
4.0+ rotations on Monday and Wednesday. Attendance was poor with only eight players last Monday and Wednesday rotations cancelled due to only one reservation. One coordinator has resigned. After discussion it was agreed to maintain the Monday rotation through May assigning three courts and then access the demand thereafter. Wednesday rotation will be cancelled. Cheryl Casey will recruit a new coordinator.
Brock Taylor participated in Court Reserve’s beta version of their “Ladders” software. He was encouraged and suggested that it may be released for beta runs in two to four weeks. He was optimistic that the ladders software will be available for use by the fall of 2023.
Based on the forecast temperatures start times will remain the same through May.
Diana Ballato motioned to change the morning rotations to 8:30AM. There was not a second. Motion failed.
Monday’s 3.0/3.5 team rotation moved to evenings at 7:00PM
Tuesday’s 3.5 mixed rotation was moved to 9:00AM.
Wednesday’s 3.5/4.0 rotation moved to 7:00PM. 4.0+ cancelled.
4.0 level rotations need coordinators for the fall to be able to justify time slots. Dianna Ballato will communicate with coordinators and club members to recruit some.
President’s Letter.
Beth will draft a letter to the membership to confirm the board’s current lineup and responsibilities.
ADJOURN.
Beth Castle motioned to adjourn at 3:15 pm. Seconded by Trevor Thorne. All in favor.
