Northdale proposed to make a new podium for award ceremonies for True Team and Section Championships, as the current risers are no longer available for use. The proposal was asking for booster clubs of participating schools to contribute $150.00 per team. The proposal requests that Blaine and Coon Rapids fund a significant amount of $1200.00 each. The riser/podium would be stored and maintained at the Northdale Middle School pool. The project is proposed to be completed by the Girls’ team Section Championship at the earliest, and by Boys’ team True Team Section Championship, at the latest.

MOTION: For Wavemakers to contribute $300.00 toward the risers/podium project.

APPROVED: Kim Jones will be following up on the communication with Northdale Middle School.
