The Board by electronic vote initiated on October 3, 2003 PASSED the following motion.

MOTION #1

Approve the awarding to the Potomac Marlins to host a site of the PVS (2003) November Open at PGS&LC.

This meet site had been previously unawarded despite several previous efforts to solicit a bid. If the bid had not been awarded, based on last year's numbers 8200 splashes would have had to be accomodated in 18 lanes, with a resulting extending of the sessions and additional pool rental costs.
