I ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JANUARY 8. 1996 11 continued that Mr. Filla, City Attorney, has been involved as well, and that Staff is attempting to communicate with the organization. Mr. Post also indicated that another organization has expressed interest in the site. Mayor Probst indicated that given the difficulty in the past, the regulations regarding charitable gambling rules need to be reviewed before something can be done, since the implications of this are unknown. Mr. Post gave his opinion that the premises permit application for the Big Ten Supper Club could be postponed until Ordinance gambling issues are resolved. Councilmember Aplikowski commented that Climb Theatre needs to be apprised of the implications of not renewing its permit. Councilmember Malone indicated the law allows the City to be arbitrary and to use its best judgement; the City is involved in the number of charitable licenses given, not the charities involved. He continued that the organizations either comply with the regulations or face having their premise permits not be renewed. Councilmember Aplikowski questioned why the City is attempting to contact Climb Theatre. Mr. Post eXplained the license is not expired as of yet, so the City is attempting to communicate with Climb Theatre. However, he continued that their permit will expire February 29, 1996. Mr. Malone suggested that an ordinance amendment requiring a bond could be considered for future premises permit applications. Mayor Probst indicated that the concern is compliance with trade area spending, and that such a bond could be requested for first time applicants. Mr. Post commented on the 1995 Construction Activity report submitted by David Kriesel, Building Official.
