Walker Youth Hockey Board Meeting Minutes

At the Chase in Walker

Thursday, February 11, 2016

Present: Joe Arndt, Erica Strandlie, Chris Strandlie, Russ Link, Lori Kuhlman, Adam Nason, Leslie Sagen, Nate Gustafson

Chair: Joe Arndt

Agenda:

Audit Games

Games were audited

November minutes approved – MSP Chris/Erica

Gambling report

Gambling Report was given by Erica. Report and anticipated monthly expenses approved. MSP

Russ/Leslie

Current fund balance is $11,000

Treasurer’s report

Treasurer’s report was given by Joe – MSP Erica/Lori

Current fund balance is $1,607.02

Fundraising

Leslie volunteered to write a request for a grant from Itasca Mantrap for equipment needs. Grants are

usually given in an amount around $300.

Give opportunity for local businesses to sponsor a tournament. Business would then be mentioned

throughout the tournament and logo would appear on tournament t-shirts.

Golf Tournament fundraiser will be May 22nd. This is a required fundraiser and everyone is expected to

take part in helping that day, collecting donations, or entering a team.

A new Zamboni presents new opportunity for ad space to be sold. Pricing would be similar to dasher

boards at $250 per side.

Old Business

FNB Payment – $22,000 balance due. Holding off on payment this month.

Zamboni committee – committee will consist of Chris Strandlie, Mike Rice, Byron Sagen, Joe Arndt, Jon

Stewart, and Bob Freeman. Committee will research used Zambonis available for purchase, if propane or

electric is best, and if purchasing or leasing is the best option. Budget is $40,000.

Donation money –

o Adam will research heaters to go above the stands and above the officials on the other side.

Budget for heaters is $10,000.

o Russ will research a new scoreboard control board.

o The equipment room will need to be sorted again. Old and outdated equipment will need to be

picked out, thrown away, or donated as needed.

o A Thank-you letter went into the Pilot Independent. A “Letter to the Editor” will also be written

and submitted by Russ as a thank-you to the donor.

New Business

Year-end banquet – March 6th from 5-7:00pm with pizza, drinks, and cake. T-shirts with name on the

back will be handed out to each player.

PR Discussions – Need full co-op next year. Requesting co-op for the girls’ high school team as well.

Need to set a date in March to discuss and finalize with them.

2016/2017 Tournaments – Idea to hold a girls’ Holiday Tournament. Any other future tournaments

depend on the co-op agreements and what teams we have. To be determined at a later date.

Need to negotiate more cleaning duties from the WACC staff for before and after games, such as the

bathrooms and halls. We are renting the space and are very good at cleaning up the arena, locker

rooms, concession stand, and beyond. The cleaning of common areas, replacing toilet paper and paper

towels, etc. should be the responsibility of the WACC staff.

Mentor Program – High school players could spend a day with a Mite, have lunch with them, read at

school, etc. Gives them someone to look up to, strengthens the program.

Future ideas –

o Players would pay registration fee up front, but could earn it back based on volunteer hours.

o Recruitment bonus – recruit another player and play for free, or receive the next year free.

3. Gambling Report: Erika advised the gambling account had a balance of $11500.13. Ericka’s CNA bond needs to be renewed for $100.00. Also parts were needed for the machine at Horseshoe Bay in the amount of $448.72. A new GCB license is needed for $150.00. A new machine may be necessary for The Big Tap. Motion: A motion to approve the gambling report was made by Nate and seconded by Carolyn. All in favor.

6. Old Business: There was not any old business from last month.

a. No payment will be made to First National Bank this month. -- Tabled b. Zamboni Committee – Joe advised of a couple Zamboni options he found. Both are used units and would need new paint

jobs. Joe advised he would send an email requesting a motion and votes to purchase a new Zamboni. c. Golf Tournament Update – The committee noted that even with less teams it was still a very successful fund raiser. d. PR Coop Payment – Ericka made a motion to pay, second Nate – all in favor. e.

to rest of the board requesting a motion to approve the purchase of the new condenser.

the two cooped teams. b. Registration Date / Process / Fees / Etc – During the coop meeting with PR they advised that they charge an additional

$100.00 for those players who are late to register. This seems like a good idea, but will need to be follow through if implemented.

c. Coaches & Clinics – Joe advised that Byron and Mike are no longer going to help with the bantam team when they practice in Walker. A team effort by Chris Strandlie, Nate Gustafson, and Joe Arndt should be able to help cover this practice time.

Walker Youth Hockey Board Meeting Minutes

At Stompin Grounds in Walker

Thursday, August 11, 2016

Present: Joe Arndt, Carolyn Arndt, Nate Gustafson, Melanie Rice, Lori Kuhlman, Atom Nason

Chair: Joe Arndt

Agenda:

Audit Games

Games were audited

July minutes approved – MSP Carolyn/Melanie

Gambling report given by Joe

Current fund balance is about $11,000

Approve Anticipated Monthly Expenses: About $7500 total, MSP Nate/Atom

Treasurer’s report given by Carolyn

Current fund balance $21,687.56

Fundraising

Melanie Rice presented to option of going to coupon books instead of the calendars as in previous years.

The amount of printing would be far less and the amount of ads and coupons would be quite a bit more,

making the estimated profit to be about $5842.00 more than what we would make with the calendars. A

motion was made to switch to a coupon book instead of the calendars. MSP Lori/Carolyn

4th of July 5 and 10K profited $2500 for WYHA.

Old Business

FNB Payment – holding off on payment until the loan is adjusted to include the amount for the

condenser.

Zamboni committee – Chris, Joe, Mitch, Jon: nothing new to report

WACC condenser & FNB North condenser loan: The bank note should be ready to be signed in a few

days. Once the note at the bank is signed, we can sign the WACC agreement also.

PR Youth Co-op: Lance Crandall will be coaching the Bantam team. John Hoscheid will be coaching the

PeeWee team.

PR High School coach – only one application was received, interview will be next week.

Coaches & Clinics: Nate & possibly Ben will be coaching the Mites. There will be no Walker co-coach for

the Bantam or PeeWee teams. Joe Arndt, Nate Gustafson, and Chris Strandlie will take turns helping

coaching when they are practicing on Walker ice.

Registration Date/ Process/ Fees: October 1st is the deadline for registering. $100 fee will be added if

registered after that date.

Equipment: none has been purchased yet. The sales that were looked at didn’t have what we need.

New Business

Melanie Rice was asked to update the website with the new season, take of any old out-dated stuff, and

update the “news”.

WYHA was asked to “Buy a Brick” to help fund the new playground in town. We would then have a brick

at the city park that says “Walker Youth Hockey”. MSP Nate/Lori to buy a brick.

With the purchase of a newer Zamboni, we have the opportunity to paint new sponsors on it as well. An

idea of a “Premium Sponsor Package” was brought up to maybe include a Zamboni spot, dasher board,

coupon book ad, golf team spot, ad in programs, a free WYH t-shirt or hat, etc. Cost for this package was

discussed at around $1500. Will discuss further in the future.
