Council Meeting Minutes August 12, 1986 Page Eighteen 1 Council Business, continued Benke stated the problem is that the ordinance is outdated; and recalled when the ordinance was written, the council did not wish to have an outside organization take proceeds from the city. Benke asked if a denial could be based on the fact that the city is reviewing its policy; Sinda stated this would be a one-time instance for the Spring Lake Park's Youth Hockey program. Kelley stated that, although he was not sure who would be invited, their intent is to rent the Eagles hall for one night only, hold their legalized gambling, and go back to Spring Lake Park. Williams stated if it would be for Boosters, he would have no problem allowing the gambling, as it would take nothing from our community; has difficulty considering denying the application based on the fact that we will be revising our ordinance. Brandt stated it makes more sense to her if we were to deny it because the ordinance does exist; if we were to ignore our ordinance and not object, that might be because of our intent to change the ordinance. I Schmidt believes we should review the ordinance and decide exactly what policy we are going to have. Motion by Schmidt, seconded by Brandt, to DIRECT STAFF TO REVIEW THE CITY'S ORDINANCE CONCERNING GAMBLING ALONG WITH STATE LAW AND RETURN TO COUNCIL WITH A RECOMMENDED ORDINANCE AND MODIFICATION; AND TO TAKE NO ACTION WITH REGARD TO THE SPRING LAKE PARK YOUTH HOCKEY APPLICATION FOR A CHARITABLE GAMBLING APPLICATION. 5 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried Announcements and Updates None Announcements and Updates Adjournment Motion by Benke, seconded by Williams, to ADJOURN THE MEETING. 5 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried The meeting as adjourned at 12:10 a.m. Adjournment I ATTEST: ~ Finance ~ltY Clerk ~ Robert J.
