The Huntsville Track Club’s Executive Board
met on June 2, 2011 after the Cotton Row Run Post Race Picnic in Monte Sano
State Park in a called meeting. In the absence of Club President David
Purinton, Jim Oaks opened the meeting at 8:00 p.m. to discuss two issues: 1)
Awarding scholarships from the Harold and Louise Tinsley Scholarship Fund and
2) Sponsorship and entry fees for the Huntsville Sprint Triathlon.
After information on scholarship request from
Lucan Sieb and Myles Scarano were discussed and consideration was given to the
fact that a previous awarded scholarship to Jacob Fuller would not be accepted
by Mississippi State University, the college he will attend, Suzanne Taylor
moved and Harold Tinsley seconded that scholarships, to be paid over a 4-year
period be awarded to Lucas Sieb and to Myles Scarano. The motion was approved
by a vote of 5-0.
After discussion of the fact that
new owners of HiWAAY Information/Internet Servicers had shown interest in
retaining sponsorship, it was agreed that the prior commitment to James Falcon
at Edward Jones should not change and that naming rights should remain with
Edward Jones.
At the request of the new Sprint
Triathlon director, Parker Edmiston, a fee increase to cover the added cost of
chip timing for the event was discussed. Suzanne Taylor moved, and Kathy Youngren
seconded that the following fee structure for the 2011 race be approved:
Individual (over 14) $20.00
$30.00
Youth (14 or younger) $15.00 $25.00
Team $50.00 $60.00
Team – Youth (all 14 or younger) $40.00 $50.00
Team – Child (all 11 or younger) $40.00 $50.00
Clydesdale (male > 200 lbs) $20.00 $30.00
Athena (female > 150 lbs) $20.00 $30.00
This motion was also approved by a 5-0 vote.
There was brief discussion on the need for regularly scheduled
face-to-face Board meeting every other month. All present preferred this type
meeting on a regular schedule.
There being no other business, the meeting was adjourned.
