§         The details of the specific violations (omitted from this report) were presented by Andrew Collari (LSC Boys Coordinator), the group segment in which the violations occurred

§         Chuck Hamilton briefed the Board on past violations as well as sanctions levied on the offending coaches by previous Board Members, to allow the current Board to take this into consideration when deciding upon appropriate action in the current violation scenarios

§         After taking into consideration the previous MAYS violation cases presented by Chuck Hamilton as well as completely dissecting the current MAYS violations committed by the two specific coaches, the Board decided upon the following actions:

·         SPECIFIC TO THE TWO COACHES IN VIOLATION:  After complete details of the specific violations were presented and reviewed in detail, it was found that the violations committed by the two coaches in question were neither intentional nor malicious.  These violations were found to be honest mistakes with no ill will.  Andrew Collari, as Boys Coordinator, has counseled said coaches by going over in complete detail what the violations constituted, what the repercussions were to the LSC (one fine of $25 and one fine of $50), and ensured that a full understanding of the violations by both parties were completely understood so that future violations can be avoided.  It was agreed upon that no further action be taken in regards to these two specific coaches / coaching violations and is seen as a closed matter.

·         SPECIFIC TO FUTURE VIOLATIONS:  The Board agreed to better understand the MAYS / State infractions by creating a list which contains the majority of infractions known to the league. The Board will then organize the list according to disciplinary actions agreed upon by the Board, specific to each infraction. That list will then be presented to each coach prior to the start of the season, so all parties fully understand the direction the board will take if required on MAYS violations.  A complete formal procedure will be put into place specific to MAYS violations and the above discussed process.
