Bear Lake. <br />Enclosed is a copy of the gambling ❑rdinance from. the <br />City of White Bear Lake which was revised June 28., 1994. <br />Please review paragraph ( <br />j <br />o;f the ordinance 1002.209.. <br />To make it easier for the City of Gern Lake and all involved <br />parties, to have the first sentence removed which states <br />"The charitable organization may pay a percentageup to <br />25% per month of directly related gambling expenses <br />including janitorial services and rubbish removal." <br />The lease agreement between the charitable organization <br />and liquor establishments which is submitted to the City <br />for approval and to the State has all expenses written in. <br />The expenses for services directly related to charitable <br />gambling must be paid directly to the persons doing the <br />services. The charitable organization has to show the. <br />State when a compliance review is done how the amount is <br />set on the lease agreement. <br />Having the statement notedabove left in the ordinance makes <br />the City responsible to review documentation of all <br />services paid. Having the total payments set at maximum <br />$1500.00 per month should be all that is needed to control <br />directly related expenses. <br />John Birkeland,. President <br />Country Lounge, Inc. <br />Enclosure. <br />
