City of Gem Lake City Council Meeting Minutes October 15, 2024 4 <br />City Clerk Vacation <br />Acting City Clerk Melissa Lawrence submitted to the Council a list of requested vacation days for the <br />remainder of the year. Also requested was to have four (4) days or 32 hours be added to the carryover limit <br />for just this year so that the time is not lost.

Motion carried 5-0. <br /> <br />Future Charitable Gambling Donations <br /> <br />White Bear Lake Emergency Food Shelf <br />Mayor Artig-Swomley suggested that the Council donate in November in the amount of $1,500.00 <br />to the White Bear Lake Emergency Food Shelf.
