MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />November 8, 1989 <br />Fahey asked if the permit were approved for the Lions <br />Club, if the Lions would have any objection to not <br />selling pull tabs at their functions, since St. <br />Joseph's Society already leases the Venetian Inn for <br />pull-tab sales. <br />Masman replied that the Lions would have no problem <br />with excluding the sale of pull-tabs from their <br />functions. <br />Fahey stated that in reviewing the application form, he <br />noted that Ed Amaro is listed as Treasurer for the <br />Lions. Fahey stated that he will not support the <br />application due to this reason, given the history of <br />past problems at the Little Canada Bingo Hall. <br />Masman pointed out that the Treasurer does not have <br />exclusive control over funds, and that the signatures <br />of two members are required for financial transactions. <br />Fahey again stated that due to the past history at the <br />bingo hall, he would not support any gambling permit <br />application for an organization that Mr. Amaro is <br />associated with in a monetary way. Fahey stated that <br />he was uncomfortable with Mr. Amaro's being in a <br />position of controlling funds. <br />LaValle asked why the Lions Club was applying for a <br />Class A license. <br />Masman replied that an organization can only apply for <br />one license each year, and the Class A license would <br />cover everything that the Lions would need. <br />Fahey pointed out that a Class A license would allow <br />the Lions to operate bingo. <br />Masman replied that the Lions has no intentions of <br />operating bingo. <br />LaValle noted that the application form states that the <br />Lions never received a denial of a gambling <br />application, and it was his knowledge that two years <br />ago the Lions applied for and received denial of a <br />gambling permit application. <br />Masman replied that the application was denied because <br />the forms were not properly completed. Revised forms <br />were submitted and the application was approved. <br />Page 9 <br />
