4. The President reported that Thom Hunt is organizing the Cross Country Series. The rules are the same as last year.
5. A parent lodged a complaint against the actions of a coach of a youth club. The parent will handle the complaint within the club, then the next level would be with the youth chairman if the issue cannot be resolved at the club level.

The meet would be for 6000-9000 youth, with considerable officiating help from outside the Association. He has approached the Greater San Diego Sports Authority for support.
