December 4th, 1999 Mid-Winter Meeting Minutes
Meeting called to order by Bryan Clemenz and Board of Directors presented.
Bryan Clemenz, Michael Galloway, John Rodgers, Danny Sherer, Bill Stevenson, Pete Schulte, Terry Wood, Jennifer Wood, and Scott Snape were present.
Motion by Danny Sherer, seconded by Mike Galloway carried to approve the minutes from our last mid-winter meeting.
Motion by John Rogers, seconded by Scott Snape carried to approve the Treasurer=s report as presented by Michael Galloway.
It was noted that the 2000 Southern Regionals will be held at Okeeheelee in West Palm Beach, FL - July 27 - July 30, 2000. Nationals will be held in Bakersfield, California, Aug 15 - 19, 2000
Discussion was held on the proposed jump rule changes. John Rogers suggested a Men 3 Open division. The majority decided that they would be in favor of M3 - 33.6 mph at the 5 foot ramp height and M4 be allowed to jump at 32 mph / 5 foot. Everyone was more in favor of creating an Open division for M3/W3 and above, as suggested by John Rogers, than raising the ramp height.
The By-Laws were reviewed and updated from the 1994 Federation meeting. (Attachment A)
State tournament records were discussed along with the confusion of having a SC State Records and SC Tournament Record. After reviewing, it was of the general consensus that we would have one State Record that would consist of records made at the SC State tournament, Regional tournament, Nationals, or Record capable tournament. It is the obligation of a SCWSF skier to submit a record from any record capable tournament to the SCWSF secretary for a record.
Jennifer Wood said she would research the past 4 years to make sure everything had been updated to the present year.
Discussion for the 2000 SC State Championships:
Scott Snape said he was willing to do what he did for the 1999 State tournament. Since there were no bids for hosting the tournament, the Federation members present offered to host and run the 2000 State tournament with Scott Snape as the tournament chairman. John Rogers offered rental of his site for the Federation to host the tournament.

Bryan Clemenz, Michael Galloway, John Rodgers, Danny Sherer, Sonny Smith, Bill Stevenson and Dray Wannamaker were present.
Scott Snape duly noted that no changes could be made to the by-laws at this meeting due to a lack of Quorum (at least 15 Federation members).
Motion by Sonny Smith, seconded by Scott Snape carried to approve the minutes from our last mid-winter meeting.

Motion by Sonny Smith, seconded by Scott Snape carried to approve the Treasurer’s report as presented by Michael Galloway.
Region Council members were not present to give a report. It was noted that the 1999 Southern Regionals will be held at Ski Paradise in Mulberry, Florida; and the Nationals will be held in California for the next two years.
There was discussion concerning the need for revisions to the by-laws, which would include clarification for expectations and responsibilities of Board members. Scott Snape agreed to formulate proposed changes for approval at the 1999 State Championships. The Board will provide Scott with an electronic copy of the by-laws.
Scott Snape presented a proposal concerning the standardization of SC State Championship awards. He proposes that the Board selects a standard metal design and requires the hosting club to purchase the awards from the Board. The board will initially purchase enough to comfortably cover the required awards. The hosting Club will be required to only purchase the exact number of awards required with any surplus going back to the boards inventory for use in future Championship tournaments. Scott will include this in his proposed amendments to the by-laws. (See attachment A)
Motion carried to allow John Rodgers to host the 1999 SC State Championship as presented in his bid. (See attachment B)

Chief Judge: Steve Owens (Alternate: Dean Collins)

Scott Snape provided information on team competition at the SC State Championship, and all agreed to encourage everyone to participate in the Team Competition. (See Attachment C)
