-
- Transportation
- Phillip Metschke spoke about the balance of activity drives. Currently Chambers has less than 20% of the activity drives due to the location of games and meets.
- Proposed that anything east of Hwy 281 would have Chambers drive, either meeting a Wheeler van at Chambers Corner, Miller’s Corner or going to Bartlett to pick up team. Wheeler would continue to drive for those activities that are northwest, and Chambers would continue to drive for activities south.
- The Activity Directors and Transportation Directors will work together to make the driving as fair as possible.
