. . . Minutes of Regular Council Heeting, January 12, 1987 Page 4 Sather gave Council a brief background on the reasons Adams had given for the. indefinite tabling of this matter. Adams has asked if the Council would write letter to our State Senator on his behalf, asking him to look into the State Gambling Control Boards delay in making a decision on this matter. Sather read the letter he drafted to be sent to Senator Fritz Knaak. Some Council members expressed they would rather not pursue this matter as they did not consider the bingo operation clearly represented the current image maintained in Arden Hills. Sather stated his initial concern was the same as those expressed by other Council members. however, he noted that this request should be considered just as any other business or resident application which has been denied without just cause. Hicks advised he had no objections to Sather sending the letter as a Councilmember from the Village, but preferred it not be on behalf of the Council as a whole. Peck and Mayor Woodburn agreed with Hicks. Mayor Woodburn stated he was not aware the number of occasions for bingo could be restricted and suggested drafting an Ordinance which would restrict, if possible. the number of occasions to four; Hicks agreed.

Sather asked what level Shoreview and North Oaks chose to pursue. Morrison stated they had approved the $2,000,000 coverage, probably because the differential between the premium costs of the $1.000,000 and $2,000,000 were minimal. Mayor reviewed letter from Attorney; commenting on the matter of weighing dollars with risk. He noted the following items from the letter: - The element of risk was not as great as long as LJVFD remained on an..... independent contractual basis. - Attorney recommended, if not in the contract now, the cities may wish to put in terminology stressing the independent relationship rather than joint venture.. ~
