Minutes March 17, 2010 Meeting
The minutes of the March 17th meeting were approved unanimously with noted deletion
of a sentence on a motion by Steve Ellis and seconded by Gregg Davis.
Use of Complex by St. Paul’s
The consensus of the Coalition members was to approve the use of the Sports Complex
th
for St. Paul’s Cross Country meet on September 10, 2010. In their request St. Paul’s
said they would not be running on the fields but using the perimeter of the complex for
the event. The Coalition felt that this would be fine and no one expressed any particular
concerns. Becca Smith will inform St. Paul’s of this approval.
Club Reports
Youth Football is planning a golf outing as a fundraiser for youth football. They also
st
said that the registrations for youth football will begin on June 1 and will be held at
Franklin Middle School.
Rock Soccer had 225 kids participate in their in-house skills league. They are in the
process of recruiting more coaches. The travel team’s games are underway.
Youth Baseball will begin play at the other field. Games at the Youth Sports Complex
th
will begin during the week of April 26. The 8 year old league will also be playing at the
Youth Sports Complex. Bids are out for the construction of the concession building with
construction finishing during the summer season of 2010. The Youth Baseball Board
expects to be out of the former park completely by the end of 2010 summer.
YMCA – no report.
Update on Advertising
Staff found records that indicate that original donation signs must be permanently left at
the fields. Rock Soccer still wants to do advertising and would like to white out the
whole United Soccer name, but will keep the sign in place. Staff will update the policy.
There was also a question about who is responsible for maintenance of the signs. Staff
will examine the leases regarding this matter for the May meeting.
Matters Not on the Agenda
There was a group consensus to change the starting time of the monthly Coalition
meetings from 4:45 PM to 5:15 PM. This motion was made by Sue Wesson and
seconded by Trevor Wallace. The Coalition passed this motion unanimously.
th
The Coalition also decided to cancel the August 18, 2010 meeting.
The Coalition suggested that the best time to do a traffic study for the Complex would
be on Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings.
Steve Ellis expressed concern with the lack of bus service to the Complex. He would
like to see this service provided. Each group will post the question on their websites
asking whether kids coming to the Complex would have a need or be interested in riding
a bus there. Staff will check with the Janesville Transit System regarding the possibility
of providing this service and Steve offered to meet with JTS staff if necessary.
There being no further business, Gregg Davis made a motion, seconded by Bob
Weilbrenner to adjourn the meeting. This motion passed unanimously and the meeting
was adjourned at 5:20 PM.
