MINUTES CITY COUNCIL NOVEMBER 22, 1989 With regard to LaValle's comments about license applications that have been denied by the State for the Lions Club, Wolter indicated that an application was not approved because the State indicated that the Lions owed it some money. That amount was disputed by the Lions Club, and once the dispute was settled the application was approved. Wolter stated that the Lions views this as a difference in an application not being approved versus denied. Fahey felt that there were too many questions and unexplained matters that would allow him to vote favorably on any gambling license application submitted by the Lions Club. Scalze stated that she had problems supporting a charitable gambling application submitted by the Lions Club as well. Scalze asked why the application submitted this evening had the names of two officers crossed out and other names hand-written in. Wolter explained that the Lions CLub changed its officers on July 1, 1989, and the application reflects the change. Scalze asked why Wolter was present this evening and not one of the Club's officers. Wolter explained that the officers had other commitments this evening, and he was representing the Lions as a member of the Club. LaValle stated that he has no problem with the Lions Club being allowed to conduct a gold plate dinner, but stated that the Club should tighten up its reins so that more members know what is going on with charitable gambling. Wolter stated that he will dig into the issue of how the change in license classification came about. Ray Hanson asked what procedure the Canadian Days Committee should follow with regard to charitable gambling at Canadian Days. Blesener replied that the State Gambling Control Board can answer any questions that the Canadian Days Committee might have. Page 20
