Yes I listened to the MP3. Now none of this official but some is real interesting.
TOY 2011 - The BOD approved a budget of $51,000 and something ( can't remember the exact amount). This is pure cash awards. It pays to 20th place in each category. It was the motion put forward in the Feb meeting by Mike B. There will be an article in the May Bullsheet. There is a another committee that handles the trophies and nothing was mentioned about their budget. This is a significant increase from 2010. There was discussion of only calling the top 10 to the stafe with 11-20 having their names on the projector and getting their checks afterwards.
The new truck and trailer - wow is all I can say. I heard they have cut a check for 60K plus are giving the Pork Board 10K of advertising. Now that may be a good deal but here's the fun stuff. They don't know what's inside the trailer other than sinks. Have no pictures and details on equipment. I put over 20K of equipment into my vending trailer and it's a lot smaller. Think I'd want to know first. And they still need to have the mechanic check out the truck. Sure hope they don't send the check until that's done.
The new scoring program is moving ahead but it sounds like it's going to be "expensive" Had to go into executive session so we the members wouldn't hear about the cost. It does sound like it's going to be an extremely useful database moving forward and will do much more than just scoring. Even sounds like the office can download the team info to the Reps computer.
Randy Bigler rescinded his motion on a rep. So after all the fuss nothing happened other than a closed door discussion again.
The meeting only lasted 3 hours with some in executive session so it's not too long to listen to. I'd recommend it to people who are interested in the functioning of the KCBS.
