2) Goals situation at Berkeley:
Access to the goals was revoked when they weren't put away after the May 15 matches. On that day, the final match between Santa Clara and Yuba City was cancelled by agreement amongst these teams, but BAFHA was not notified. Thus no arrangements were made for the teams in the previous match to lock up the goals, which were left unlocked. Additionally, on April 17th, the goals were locked in the wrong place by the teams in the last match (SF/Palo Alto), resulting in some damage to the goals.
Due to these two incidents, access to the goals was revoked until further notice.
To guarantee that the goals will be locked up, the Executive voted on the following proposal:
For use of the Berkeley goals, a member of the Berkeley staff will both unlock the goals and lock them. This ensures that the goals are correctly locked at the end of each day. To compensate for the additional work, The reimbursement for the staff member in charge of the goals will be increased from $50/day to $75/day.
Homie will be instructed to contact Cal.

Long-term, Santa Clara can donate a set of goals for the Berkeley field, if BAFHA can get permission to store them there. The goals do not have wheels but are in good shape.

3) Dues refund for 2010 season for Marin In 2010, Marin initially fielded 2 teams for the BAFHA season. However, turnout decreased during the season and partly through the second half Marin notified BAFHA that they could no longer field a second team due to lack of players. Subsequently, BAFHA cancelled all matches for Marin 2.
Marin requested a partial refund of dues for the second team pro-rated to the actual number of matches scheduled. The Executive agreed to refund $500, corresponding to 1/3 of the total dues paid that year for Marin's second team.

Action Items:
General Secretary: Post new schedule for June, All clubs: Please notify general secretary about team availability for July matches.
