Minutes of the KSBA Executive Board held on July 11, 2010 in Corbin, Kentucky.

President Day opened the meeting by welcoming everyone present to Corbin KY. He then asked for the roll call. Corky Steinmetz called the roll and there were nine associations present. President Day said that Corky sent out the minutes from the last meeting and do we have any questions about the minutes? Bruce Zimmerman said in Zone C that Robert Lee is not a Director and Kelly Kron is his replacement. Charles Tackette made a motion to accept the minutes as read with the corrections. Ray Long seconded the motion. Motion carried. President Day said he wanted to thank Corbin for their hospitality and they did a fine job putting this Jamboree together. President then asked for reports from the officers. None. Do we have any reports from Directors, Life Members or Delegates? None. President Day then asked for Committee reports? Legislative Committee – Ray Long – We met yesterday and nothing was given to discuss in our committee so I have nothing to report. President Day said the next committee report will be the Tournament Structure & Site -Garry Kron – he said his committee met yesterday and they had three items to bring before you, the first item is on page 22 of the Policy & Procedure Manual, section five, Facilities, we have always had in our manual that you had to have at least two 24 lanes centers to conduct the State Tournament or you could conduct the tournament in a 44 lane center. With so many centers going down, it not feasible for us anymore and for us to have to come back every other year or so, the tournament committee came up with you need two bowling centers with a 20 mile travel time, one center to have a minimum of  20 lanes and the other has a minimum of 12  lanes. Garry said that was the first item that we need to be voted on for approval. Ron Pennington said he thought it was a good idea as we have two centers in our association within 15 minutes of each other; one center is 16 lanes and the other 20 lanes, so it would give us an opportunity to host the state tournament. Garry Kron asked for any other comments? Teddy Gregg made a motion to accept the committee’s change in the manual. Bruce Zimmerman seconded the motion. Motion carried. Garry said the next item they discussed was the Senior Tournament. The last few years, it has been the first weekend of February and due to the potential inclement weather we want to move it to the second full weekend of April. Corky Steinmetz said we would move it to the second full weekend of April providing USBC does not move the National Tournament before that weekend, if they do, then we would have to adjust the tournament accordingly. Charles Tackette made a motion to accept the recommendations to the Senior Tournament presented by the Tournament Committee. Kelly Kron seconded the motion. Motion carried... Garry said he forgot on the first change was to add a line saying that the host association has the option to have a squad on Friday evening. Teddy Gregg made a motion to accept the additional change to the first motion. Kenny Dampier seconded the motion. Motion carried. The last item we came up with was the committee was asked to come up with some boundaries for the Senior’s Tournament. Garry said we had it in Richmond and since Ashland has the annual tournament, we decided to keep the Senior tournament in the same zone and follow the zones conducting the annual tournament. If the eligible zone does not want it, then it would go to the next zone. The following year, the tournament would not go back to the zone that did not want it and the tournament would move forward to the next zone. Garry Kron said he was putting this into a form of a motion. Jim Shope seconded the motion. Motion carried. President Day then asked for the Policy & Procedures Committee – Teddy Gregg- We discussed a number of items with Garry Kron and about the only item I have left is to change the Hall of Fame date deadline for nominees to Saturday of the Jamboree. Garry Kron made a motion to accept the Hall of Fame Committee’s report. Steve Thompson seconded the motion. Motion carried. Teddy asked President Day is it correct you would like to have anyone wanting to serve on any of the committee’s to sign the paper up at the head table to what committee you would like to serve on. Ray Long said he was going to contact the VP’s and have to contact their bowlers and see any of them would like to serve on any of the committee’s. I want to hear from you guys. President Day asked for the Senior’s Committee report – Bill Thorneberry – all of my information has been discussed in the Tournament Structure & Site Committee report. President Day asked for the YABA  - Bruce Zimmerman – nothing at this time. Hall of Fame – Steve Thompson – We discussed what has already been discussed and voted on and that was extending the deadline for the nominee’s form to be turned in. President Day asked if there were any comments to make about what has been discussed here this morning? None. President Day said the two centers are about 10 minutes apart. One center in Ashland and one in Ironton, Ohio. The Plaza Hotel is the headquarters where the breakfast and the meeting will be held. It is right down the street from the Blue Ribbon Lanes on Winchester Ave. The other item we discussed was adding a team event squad on Friday night of the first weekend. This will be the first weekend only. I have called the bowling center and it okay with them. This squad is not on the entry blank. I will give preference to the more distant teams, such as Paducah and work back east; we will have room for ten teams for this one squad. Any team wanting to bowl on this squad must have at least one officer or delegate on the team. A question was asked if there were only two or three teams wanted to bowl on the Friday squad, would you still conduct the squad? Steve Thompson said if should happen, and then they would fill the squad with local people. President Day said we need a motion to allow Ashland to add a 7:00 PM squad on Friday of the first weekend only. Kelly Kron made a motion to accept the proposed Friday night squad in the team event only. Ray Long seconded the motion. Motion carried. President Day asked if there were any other questions about the State tournament in Ashland you want to know about. President Day said the next item is Ray Long speaking about the tournament in Lexington 2011. Ray said they were in the process of working with two centers to host the tournament. Charles Tachette asked if they are considering running the tournament in one center like they did the last time.

President Day said the next item in the report of the Senior’s State Finals – Lewis Jones – not present. We can now go to the bid for the 2011 State Senior’s Finals. Some one made a motion to have Lexington host the 2011 State Senior’s tournament. Teddy Gregg made a motion to have the 23011 State Senior’s tournament in the Lexington zone. Charles Tackette seconded the motion. Motion carried. President Day asked for any other unfinished business? None. He then asked for any new business? Jim Shope said he wanted to let everyone that a good friend of ours, passed away in December, 2009. He was an original charter member of the State Association. He was very, very active in the association affairs. I would like to adjourn this meeting in his honor. Kelly Kron seconded the motion, Motion carried. President Day then adjourned the meeting.
