  2. Eligibility:  Mike Ritch.  Mike reported that we are down about 10 in total number of eligibility hearings from last year…the state is also down as a whole.  He then reviewed all of the eligibility cases for the spring.  The total number of transfers appears to be down at this point.  Seasons Limitations appears to be up in the number of cases.  These cases seem to be coming from all schools now, not just the larger schools.  The number of cases with students who did not play that sport the previous year and who asked for eligibility is also down.  Visa students sign form 6 and are limited to one season of eligibility.  Mike thanked all those who served on the committees while he was chair over the last twelve years.  The athletic directors, principals, and vice principals who have served the kids of our district have done a great job hearing these cases over the years.  Mike recommends getting new ADs to serve because their learning curve grows dramatically as a result.

  1. Sea-King District 2 Executive Board President Report:  Doug Bruketta
A.     Violations.  League actions were approved.

B.     Replacement for Retiring Eligibility Chair Mike Ritch.    M/S/P to approve Craig Bakken as the new Eligibility Chair.

C.     Adjusted proposal from WSCA.  The Coaches Association provided an updated proposal for admission to District contests.  No action taken.

D.     Spring Rep. Assembly Review.  Marilyn reviewed the amendments that passed the Rep Assembly.

E.      Presentation of 2006-2007 Sea-King Budget.  Marilyn presented the proposed budget for discussion and review.  The board will vote on the proposal at the June meeting.  She reviewed the 4A Kingco Finance proposal as well.  4As lose one school and the WIAA is now paying the district insurance premiums.  This allows us to reduce the 4A Overhead Fees proposal.  Emerald City will make a formal proposal for a boy's soccer tournament in the fall.  They will bring a proposed tournament bracket and outline of the tournament.  They would like to play the tourney at Starfire (approximately $3000) rather than at one of our school sites.  We will discuss it at the June meeting.

F.      Review of Sea-King District Documents.  The committee reviewing the documents made suggestions to adjust several items in the District pay scale.  We will check all the WIAA references in our document.  The committee recommends using the Kingco prices for Radio/Web/TV Broadcasts.  They recommended changing the softball fees to a session fee rather than a ‘game’ fee.  They recommended raising volleyball fees from $10 to $15 per session.  We will also suggest to managers that they may use a parent group/booster club to work the events and have a check go directly to the booster group.  Recommended raising the swim manager fee to $250. We also need to stipulate this as a 3A/4A fee schedule, then review and update the Tri-District manual.  Finally the committee recommended holding ticket prices at the present level.  The committee will bring the list of recommendations to the next board meeting.

G.     Selection of 2006-2007 Basketball Sites.  Remember the 3A and 4A switch seasons next year, so we need to plan ahead on this.

H.     Delegates to 2006-2007 Spring Rep Assembly. Please go back to your leagues and bring back recommendations for these positions.
