New Business:
--
Jeff Gindy made a motion and Tammy seconded to adopt a policy dealing with player advantage during games. The policy reads: “A team shall have no more than a one player advantage on the field. Send-offs (ejection-red card) will not force the opposing team to remove player(s) to comply with the “no more than a one player advantage”. This rule supports the Dynamo recreational league ideals.
--A sample lightning policy was also distributed and will be acted on at a later time. Jeff -Gindy will check into lightening detectors and a weather radio.
--A make up game policy was also discussed and will be voted on later.
--Jeff Gindy and Doug had previously talked about the idea of a portable defibrillator to have on hand at the field. Jeff will approach the Bourbonnais Little League about sharing fundraising and the device since our seasons are not at the same time.
