Call old for business
Pitts: Requested update re: Gagne’s call for DLL improvement project ideas. Gagne reports receiving approximately 30 suggestions for long term project committee to consider.
Report of Nomination Committee (Arnedt, Pitts) Given the duties of the baseball commissioner position, DLL would be better served if there were co-commissioners or a head and an assistant. Bryson and Guinta had discussed this possibility and their respective roles if elected recently.
Assignment of duties is likely best organized by those in such roles given their individual strengths, age of children in DLL, experience in DLL, etc. ****Motion by Pitts: Creation of an assistant baseball commissioner DLL BOD position in addition to the baseball commissioner position. 2nd by Rosevelt. 13/13 votes (2013-2014 DLL BOD).
