Here are my notes from our Otters board meeting tonight.  Please "reply all" with any corrections.

Attendees: Tom, Kristin, Andrea, Melinda, Mich, Matt, Jennifer, Leila, Lily.

Tiffany presented info about Team Unify's upgrade to our web site content management system.  The upgrade currently costs $295 (later the cost will be $495).  The benefits include a more mobile (phone) friendly web site, easier management and editing of the web site, more flexibility in modifying the site, and more modern templates.  The board voted to approve $295 for the upgrade.

Coach pay rates: no raises for Bonnie, Eric, Amelia, and Jacob; Mark $11.50, Bridgette $11.75, Kerry $14.25, Devin $12, Colleen $13.25, Cathy $12, Casey $12, and Cristina $11.25.

Matt asked whether Otters should have a table at the Ypsi schools "bash" on Saturday the 8th (12-3pm).  Mich volunteered to cover it if someone else would join her.  Jennifer thinks she can join, and will double check.

The board discussed volunteer deposits, and agreed that all board members already provide sufficient volunteer hours.  The board voted that board members should not pay a volunteer deposit.

The board voted to approve free registration for Bonnie and Eric's daughter, in consideration of the many unpaid hours that they work for Otters.

Tom will ask insurance agent how much it would cost to cover parents swimming laps during practice.
