P4I~UTES <br />City Council <br />June 17, 1987 <br />Bingo Fahey pointed out that Matson's reports reflect that about 80 children <br />(Cont.) from Little Canada participated in Roseville programs in 1987. <br />Collova asked if these children paid non-resident fees in Roseville. <br />Matson replied that they did, but this would be eliminated. <br />Scalze pointed out that the only money Little Canada Recreation <br />Flssociation gets for football is from a fund raiser and from St. <br />Joseph's Society. Scalze felt that if the Roseville program <br />was less expensive for the parents and had better equipment, Little <br />Canada residents would go to Roseville. <br />Matson pointed out that the Recreation Association could request <br />a grant for new equipment from the North Suburban Youth Association. <br />In this way the bingo proposal would benefit Little Canada directly. <br />Platson pointed out that he would have tight control over the <br />situation and assured the Council that the money raised from the <br />bingo operation would be spent and would benefit the north suburban <br />area and Little Canada. <br />Fahey asked how other communities would become involved in the <br />program. <br />Matson noted that there will be room on the ~lorth Suburban Youth <br />Association committee for more members. P9atson stated that he would <br />also like to get some pull-tab operations going in other communities. <br />Platson felt that charitable gambling was a tool to be used and it was <br />a mistake to use the names of boundaries to interfere with what can <br />happen. <br />Scalze asked how this proposal will impact on the probelm with hockey <br />that has been experienced in the past. <br />Jim P~orelan stated that the problem with hockey has not been with the <br />City of Roseville, but rather at the State level. <br />P1atson reported that the proposal is not being set up for the City <br />of Roseville's Park and Recreation Department, but is totally <br />independent. <br />Platson also pointed out that money would be used to buy-down fees to <br />parents for athletic programs, and this would include more than just <br />Roseville residents. <br />Morelan reported that P4atson has asked the Recreation Association to <br />become part of the group, however, the Recreation Association has not <br />made a decision on this. However, if anyone from the City is part of <br />the group, it should be the Recreation Association. <br />Blesener and Scalze agreed: <br />Page -8- <br />
