•   Team books, credentials, tournaments and money (Catherine Anderson) 
All tournaments must be sanctioned, all checks must be sent to Cathy Anderson, and she must send it to Darla. The Oval and the County sent paperwork in for a tournament, and there was a long wait for the checks. Cathy cannot take credit cards. Cathy cannot send money to Darla until she gets the money. Cathy asked if UAHA (through Jill) could front the money for the tournaments, and then the org can pay Jill. Also, there are still some Tier books that Cathy hasn’t seen yet. Cathy would like to suggest that teams not be able to attend play offs until they get their book in. Also, for patches, if requests haven’t come in yet, Hat Trick patches have to wait until USA Hockey offices open, Playmaker and Shut Out Cathy can help with. Dewey said the only issue with the books is that some of the teams are allowed to use the state playoffs as part of their 20 games. 
• Discussion and possible adjustment of Tryouts should facilities remain closed and Health Orders 
remain into effect into May/June (Derrick Radke) 
WCR is planning on May 15, 16 and 17, 2020. They had the meeting to plan it on the day that everything closed. If that weekend doesn’t work, they are hoping for the weekend of June 12. Derrick suggested that the board recommend that Tier I be allowed to go as soon as everything opened up, and then give Tier II two weeks to get done. Lisa D’Urso suggested that Tier II go right after them at the end of June. Steve Picano said that waiting two weeks after Tier I to do Tier II, that it would probably push some of the Tier II teams into August because of the 4th of July weekend. Derrick made a motion to release Tier II and 14U+ Travel the week after Tier I tryouts. 
• State CampRefunds (Steve Picano) 
	Steve said that the state will have to refund all 140 people. He said it isn’t fair to just refund the 03’s. Derrick said that some of the camps are deducting expenses, but that he thinks we should refund what the participants paid. Emily verified that the camp has been cancelled, and she is just waiting for the board to tell her how to proceed. Emily made a motion to refund 100% of the proceeds that were paid in dues for camp. Doug A seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. 
• Girls Select Team (St. Louis Showcase) Refunds (Doug Anne) 
	Doug said that they are also moving ahead with refunds, but there were some ice costs incurred that he will need reimbursement for. Emily said that Don Korth and Kerri Fain? both advanced money for costs. There was a third ice time that was the first practice that was paid for out of registration. There was a fee incurred in shopping for the tracksuits for the girls team. Emily motioned that 100% of the money be refunded to the girls on the team, and the fee for the uniforms and the first practice session ice. It will be approximately $500 that will fall to Utah Hockey. Marjorie will reimburse the two individuals who advanced the money for the for the tryout ice. The motion passed unanimously. Emily also mentioned that the Utah Ladies Select team would like the board to sponsor them again next year.
-	Weber County takeover of Golden Spike (Derrick Radke) 
Golden Spike dissolved their program. Weber County has offered to take over the program. They would like to field the same teams that Golden Spike had already been granted for next year. The issue is there is a due date of February 1 for new organizations, which isn’t insurmountable, but does need to be addressed. Derrick asked Mariko to give a little explanation of where the county is at, and what they are looking for. Mariko said that there are 120 kids who want to play in Weber county, and they want to build a sustainable and community-based program. They do not want to compete with Tier or more competitive travel teams. Mariko said that they will keep the other contracts, (Eagles, WCR) as is while they create a new rec program. Lisa D’Urso asked why GS closed. Derrick said that they as an organization didn’t feel that it was viable for them to continue, and they put the dissolution to a vote among membership, and it passed. Derrick said that it is a good opportunity for the board to partner with Weber County for the next year, and then have them do a formal application for next year. Lisa D’Urso also said that WCR would be happy to sponsor if needed. Weber County decided to take this project on, because it is the right thing to do. She said that people could email her specific questions. Mariko said that she was open to working with the state board. Carole asked if they would still be the Jr. Mustangs; Mariko said that they would be called whatever the Junior team at the rink was called, so for now they are Mustangs. Derrick asked if the vote should happen tonight, or if a group of board members should meet with Mariko again. Steve Picano said that he would like it to be a couple weeks. Mariko said she was fine with that. Doug Anne made the motion and volunteered himself, Steve Picano seconded and also volunteered, Carole was the third volunteer. 
• Discussion/Finding of Organizations to be in Good Standing with UAHA (Cathy Anderson/Derrick 
Radke) 
Darla asked for confirmation with UAHA that all sub affiliates with current numbers are in good standing. Derrick said the only org that he would suggest is not in good standing is Golden Spike, since they are dissolved. Cathy said that once the board decides they want Weber County to participate next year, they just need to have Cathy go to USA Hockey and set it up. Dewey motioned to approve all orgs except Golden Spike. Steve Picano seconded. It passed unanimously.

UAHA within the previous two years; provided, however, the Board may waive this 
requirement by a majority vote, if a candidate for President is highly qualified in the 
opinion of the Board. 
 
Article 5, Section 4. Associate Members—All persons who are members of a UAHA 
Member, and all players rostered on a team registered with USA Hockey by a UAHA

majority of UAHA’s Board of Directors, Associate Membership may be extended to 
other organizations or individuals, such as rinks, officials’ organizations or other 
persons or groups that have an interest in amateur hockey in UAHA’s geographical 
area. Associate Members have no voting rights in UAHA. 
o Nominated Persons 
§ President            Derrick Radke, Paul Lehman 
Discussion was had regarding the fact that Paul Lehman has never been involved in UAHA board (did the board want to waive the previous board member requirement). Emily motioned to not allow him to run, and Shelly seconded, based on his lack of experience on the board. Dewey said that Paul has been around hockey long enough and has an MBA from Harvard, and that he is experienced enough to run. Jill, Doug, Dewey, Mylisa and Steve P. voted against the motion, so Paul will be added to the ballot.
