Annoucement Regarding Hunt Test Conduct - Sunday, April 18, 2010

 The APLA Board has decided to put special emphasis on the Unsportsmanlike Conduct portion of the rule book at all 2010 tests. All test officials and participants must be familiar with the entire rule book, including the Unsportsmanlike Conduct section. Test officials, including HT Chair, HT Secretary, Judges and Board Members will document instances of unsportsmanlike conduct and forward them to the APLA Board to be dealt with in accordance with our rule book and bylaws. Also, Unsportsmanlike Conduct applies to handler conduct towards a dog for kicking, striking, otherwise roughly handling a dog. Any questions regarding Unsportsmanlike Conduct or any portion of our rule book can be forwarded to a board member or asked at any Judges/Handlers seminar.

President, Dale Merritt, called conference call meeting to order at 6:02pm CDT

Present: Dale Merritt, Joe Bubulka, Larry Kimble, Julie Knutson, Stu Wange, Brice Romero, Steve Watkins, Mike Bachkosky, Wendell Wright

Absent: None

Treasurer Report

$20.631.50 in bank. Larry also reported that with the new online system, the bank prevented any duplicate submittals to be charged more than once, assuring that no one would be charged for more than one membership, even with errors in submissions..


MOTION that the Board accept the Treasurer’s report. Seconded and passed.

Secretary Report

Newsletter with the test premiums is out, even though some of the test information is not complete. Given the schedule it was released with as much information as possible from the test holders, but the data is continually updated on the website.

There are concerns regarding membership packages, and whether memberships have been received or processed. The automatic email responses do not always suffice. There is a proposal that will be put forward to the board to create a ‘membership package’ for all new and renewing members that may include the new decal created with membership input, and an identification card. This will add expense to the routine workings of the organization, but the membership would most likely be willing to accept the expense for the benefit of the card and improved decals. This should be decided upon by the next board meeting.

Given the scope and increasing duties of the position of secretary, the board discussed making the routine duties fall under a position that would not change as secretaries are voted in, keeping the information, data and tasks in one central location. A proposal for this will be put to the board by the next meeting, and it is hoped some changes will be made by the end of the year and election time.

One ribbon award from the 2006 season is outstanding, and will be addressed when the recipient is attending a spring test this year. To the best of the board’s knowledge, all past ribbons and certificates have been addressed.

MOTION made that the Board accepts the Secretary report. Seconded and passed.




OLD BUSINESS

Hunt test Committee Update

A June 2nd hunt test is scheduled in Nisswa, MN, held by Stu Wange. This test will be held in lieu of the Iowa test.

Ribbons will be brought to each hunt test by attending board members, and and all remaining ribbons will be returned at the completion of the test.

NEW BUSINESS

The artwork on the new decals proposed is original, and discussions regarding legal ownership were held. S. Watkins proposed ownership be addressed, and agreed to come up with an agreement and wording to cover this issue for the organization. The new decal design that was voted upon by online membership is very popular and will be an improvement over the original decal.

Motion was made to have stickers made as voted on by the membership on the online poll, motion was accepted.

A license plate frame has been developed by an active S. Pawlshyn, and the legalities and means of providing these to the membership was discussed.

Motion was made to allow S. Pawlshyn make the frames and address ownership of the molds, motion accepted.

Next Meeting

At the completion of the last June hunt test, approximately the second week of June, 2007 7 pm CDT

Meeting adjourned at 7:24pm CST.

Respectfully submitted,
Julie Knutson
Secretary

Very Good ! And if anyone still needs a Lic Plate frame let me know - we got plenty.

Now about the rating-what is best #1 or #5? My feeble liitle mind can find no guidance on that so I give it a 3 only because I do not know what would be the BEST rating.
