3. First Item – SDTTA Trainer License Draft Agreement. Jerry Harris explained the details of the draft agreement. There was extensive discussion surounding the logistics of the Trainers and their approvals as well as the compendation the Board could potentially require from the Trainers. However, in summary, the Board agreed that the License Agreement Draft Jerry presented seems adequate for the remainder of the current year 2023, but it will be reviewed again once the New 2024 Board is in place. At this time we will not be requiring payment from the Trainers, but this will be re-considered by the new Board in 2024.

The Board also agreed for the Board Members to take one more look at the Agreement (attached below) and send any comments back to the Chairman. If no changes are required, then the final draft will be sent to the Board for approval and implementation. Two documents are required to be completed by the Trainers and the Board:

    1st – Trainers must complete an SDTTA Trainer Application Request to be approved by the Board (Draft Pending)

    2nd – The SDTTA Board and the Trainers must sign the – SDTTA Trainer License Agreement 

4. Reports of Officers:

        – Financial Report – the financial report for August was reviewed – Treasurer – Ruben

        – Certificate of Deposit Update –  The CD was re-newed at a 4.00% for 6 more months. New Maturity date is 1/15/2024 – Ruben

        – Zelle Membership Payments – New and renewing members can now pay their dues by using the Zelle system by paying at         “San Diego Table Tennis Association  – using phone # 787 934 4294. This will minimize the need to pay in cash. Therefore we         now have three options:

                1. Personal check

                2. Zelle (No cost to SDTTA)

                3. Paypal (Paypal charges us 2.29% of the transaction).

5. Unfinished Business

        – Repair A32W Robot – Tripod assembly was purchased and installed. Robot is back in operation- Ruben

        – 2024 San Diego Open Update – Behnam/Danny/Salam – Due to time limitations this was not fully discussed. This will be placed again in                every Board Meeting Agenda moving forward.

6. New Business

        – New Robot Demonstration by Vendor was made to the Board. The Robot seems to have many capabilities, but the instructions seem more     complex that what we need at this time. We were offered a used Robot at a very reasonable price by Mark Taylor (Club member) that we voted     on and decided to purchase, so now we have two robots available for the Club. – Behnam

        – Extractor Fans @ Actvity Center – Luis Ignacio is in conversations with maintenance & contractors trying to fix the extractors.

7. Discussion Period – All Members

Upcoming Board Elections. There are three (3) positions up for elections. Behnam asked Phil to see if he could help us with the elections, but he is not available.
