Meeting was called to order at 14:21 by Chairman Eric Dew

Old Business
Motion to ammend bylaws so that executive Committee will elect the appropriate number of Division members to represent the Division at the National Congress. Vote to be held at the Sr. PCC's.

Treasurer's Report
Monies receivable from USFA from 98-99 have not yet been received however the financial report to USFA for 98-99 has been sent. The monies were withheld by USFA pending receipt of the correct finacial report.

A discussion insued regarding how much money was actually in the Division's accounts. Treasurer Ed Hon noted that when he and Eric Dew were elected that approximately $16,000 were transferred to them by check by the previous year's officers. The amount was to have been the total amount in the Division's account at that time. But due to a screwup by the bank and erroneous amount had been given by the bank to the officers of 98-99 and 99-2000 and the check made out for that amount bounced. The erroneous number supplied by the bank was several hundred more than was actually in the accounts when the check written by the previous year's treasurer was depositted. This resulted in the check bouncing. The matter was later corrected but the ammended amount was not available to Ed at this time. He would supply the information to anyone who wished to follow up. At this time the Division's accounts consist of approximately $4,000 in a money market account and checking of $11,538.99 + 23.57 + 45.83 + 23.52.

Copies of the treasurer's report to be sent to all attendees and the USFA national and all clubs.

President's Report is that the Division has 311 members according to USFA roles.

Question was made that in previous years the Division gave $100 to the senior member from the Division if they went to the summer national and would this continue to be done. Response was that this was the case when the Division hosted all the tournaments and therefore collected the entry fees. With the advent of the Bay Cup this has changed and the clubs now are handling the entry fees. And there was some question of the appropriateness as the Bay Cup is a tri-divisional event. The discussion was tabled for future consideration and the chairman is to ask for a committee from the Bay Cup to consider this and acknowledge who would receive such gifts

Question was raised as the use and disposition of Division's fencing equipment such as reels, scoring machines and electrical flooring. Many opinions were made as how much equipment existed, its state, who should have use of it and if users should be charged. A motion was made and passed that the chairman should appoint a committee to report on what should be done with existing equipment and said committee to report back at the next meeting.
