MINUTES CITY COUNCIL DECEMBER 17, 2003 Anderson asked if there have been any additional conversations with Brady's. O'Kane reported that Brady's does not want pull-tabs sold from a booth, but would allow pull-tabs sold from the bar or from a machine. Gambling Control has indicated that they will only approve a premise permit at Brady's that iirvolves a freestanding pull-tab booth staffed by the charitable organization. Fahey indicated that he was not willing to make a decision on the request for a premise permit at the bingo hall without the involvement of the other charities. Fahey, suggested, Therefore, that the matter be tabled until the January 14°i meeting. Fahey also suggested that the Council be provided with information relative to the budget needed for Canadia~r Days to determine whether the request for a premise permit at the bingo hall is reasonable. Anderson agreed that the matter should be tabled until January 14'x'. He also suggested that the City Administrator contact the Gambling Control Board to determine what the options are for the Brady's site.
