1. Saskatoon / Regina Delegation Presentation
Howard Schweitzer (Commissioner of Athletics - RHSAA, Chuck Toth - RHSAA President, John Marciniuk - Saskatoon Catholic Athletic Commissioner, Kelly Bowers - SSSAD Commissioner of Athletics and Jeff Colquhoun - Evan Hardy Collegiate) attended the meeting on behalf of the Saskatoon and Regina Basketball groups. They made a presentation to the Executive Council to reconsider the motion 04/04/03 from the 2004 SHSAA Annual General Meeting.

MOTION by Eliasson/McDougall to not overturn the Saskatoon resolution (04/04/03) that was defeated at the 2004 SHSAA AGM. CARRIED

MOTION by Eliasson/McDougall to recommend a compromise alternative to the Saskatoon/Regina group. The compromise would be to keep the Small Cities in the 5A classification, pilot an eight team tournament in the 5A category for 1 year and offer option #2 (2 regionals - North and South; each having 4 city teams and 4 small cities teams - with 4 teams qualifying for Hoopla). WITHDRAWN

MOTION by Eliasson/McDougall to offer as a compromise an eight-team tournament keeping the small cities teams in 5A and offering two options. Option A is the above option. Option B is virtually the same with the exception being that there not be two regional tournaments for the 5A, but to have Regina and Saskatoon's top four teams seeded #1 - #4, and to seed the eight small cities teams # 1 - #4 North and #1 - #4 South. Have the City #1 host the S.C. #4, City #2 host the S.C. #3, S.C. #1 host the City #4 and S.C. #2 host the City #3. The same would be held in the other half of the province. The four winners from each set of pre-provincial games would qualify to Hoopla. CARRIED

MOTION by Segall/Riley that each group (Regina, Saskatoon and Small Cities) would receive one vote for the two options. Majority wins. CARRIED
