Chair Bill Krumm called the meeting to order at 7:41pm at the High Plains Community Center, Orange.

Present: Jeff Allen, Steve Carroll, Clark Cooper, Larry Frost, Bill Krumm, Tim Quill, Bill Repass, Lauren Taft.

Absent with notification: Bill Ball, Ken Block, Brian Carey, Pam Libertiny, Sara Massa, George Miles,

Also present: Nan Cooper

Committee Investigator: The committee members each submitted an interesting fact about themselves that the members would not know about them. This month the investigators found the committee member that "…fudged a time once" and another that "wanted to be President of the United States in high school."

Approval of Agenda: It was moved to approve the agenda as published. Seconded and approved.

Approval of Minutes: It was moved to revise the Program Development minutes from the December 12, 2000 to clarify the travel arrangements for the summer zone team. Seconded and approved.

Program Operations: Pam Libertiny was not present. Nan reported that bids for LC meets would go out this week and that LC pool availability had been secured.

Age Group: Not present

Technical Planning: George Miles was not present but his proposal (via email to committee members) was discussed. Approval was given to George to proceed with establishing time standards for LC Championships meets based on his proposal of using times between the standards for SC LSC Championships and the 15/18 age group standards for the 15/18 age group. All other age groups would remain the same. Bill Krumm will follow up with George.

Senior: Unfortunately we did not get to the Senior report.

LSC Championship: Individual event awards will be given at the meet. Team awards and individual high point awards will be given at the annual awards banquet. Event winner caps will be the former age group caps for the 14/U and senior caps for the senior events. Wesleyan's timing system is in need of repair for the 9-lane course. Nan will follow up with Kevin Carniero as to the specifics. This item was referred to the Board of Directors meeting next week.

Entry Fee Cap: It was decided that clarification was needed to the language of the fee cap policy that was determined at the July 12, 2000 Program Development meeting. Motion made, seconded and approved to revise the language to state that 2+ day meet with a prelim-finals format held at least 2 days of the meet would qualify as a championship-type meet and could charge the higher fee of $3.50 for indiv events and $7 for relay events. Timed final meet entry fees are limited to $3.00 for indiv events and $6 for relay events.

2001 LC Entry Deadlines: Jeff Allen requested that the policy for CT deadlines for LC meets be discussed. He suggested that the policy be eliminated or that the CT deadline be set back farther from the meet date to make it easier for out-of-state teams. Jeff was asked to submit a written proposal regarding this matter.

LC Regional Championships: It was decided to hold two LC Regional meets for summer 2001 at Wesleyan University. Friday will also be reserved at Wesleyan if needed. It was further determined that one team will run a morning meet and one team will run an afternoon meet.

SC Zones: We are still without a Zone Coordinator. At the next Program Development zone coaches will be selected by the Program Development committee from the coaches applications received in the CSI office. Nan will submit a list of zone "jobs" in chronological order to Bill Krumm. Tim Quill asked that the selection criteria for sc zones be put on next month's Program Development agenda. This was deferred to Technical Planning.

2002 SC Qualifiers: Pam Libertiny revised proposal was reviewed. It was decided that a letter from Bill Krumm regarding the proposal would be mailed to all coaches asking for their input. The input will then be discussed at the February Program Development meeting.

2001 LC Bid Process: Discussion ensued as to the officials requirements for bidding on 2001 LC meets. Although the official requirement has been place for quite some time, it was felt that bidding clubs were not fully aware of it. It was decided that the requirements for 2001 (teams must have a registered stroke & turn, starter and referee) would remain as is with a provision for clubs to secure a referee and/or starter from another club. If it can be demonstrated that the club has secured a ref and starter from another club, then the club will be allowed to run the meet(s) they bid on. If a ref and starter cannot be secured to CSI's satisfaction, then the sanction will be rescinded. This will be stated in the 2001 Long Course Scheduling Procedures sent to all teams. Tim Quill suggested that CSI encourage teams to host SCY and SCM meets this summer. These venues satisfy the time standards for CSI Championship meets, encourage the developmental swimmer and may alleviate the overcrowded LCM meets. It appears that shorter venues are being utilized on the national and international level.

Motion to adjourn at 10:00pm, passed.

Agenda Items include:

Deadlines for in state/out of state entry deadlines for the LC season.
Long Course season time standards
Age Group Qualifiers
LC Entry Deadline
