Proposed Policy Changes on Officials Expenses 2011-2012
1. For officials who are currently certified and/or are current trainees:
The team will continue to pay their USA Swimming Non-Athlete registration fee, which is currently $58 and will increase to $59 in the fall. **Each official will do their own registration online and then submit for reimbursement. For those certified officials that are still active in February 2013, the team will also cover the $19 background check renewal.
2. For new trainees effective September 2011:
The team will reimburse a new official’s USA Swimming Non- Athlete registration, background check and the purchase of an official’s shirt. **It will be up to the individual to save their receipts and once their training is complete and they are certified as a stroke and turn official, the team will then reimburse them for their out of pocket costs.
Anticipated costs for a new official:
Registration: $59
Background Check: $39 (**or higher)
Shirt: Approximately $40
In all cases, expenses will be directed to the team’s treasurer. Based on experience this past year, there may be instances where someone may not request reimbursement. The treasurer would also be given a list of officials so as to know who might be submitting receipts.
