MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />FEBRUARY 12, 1992 <br />Hanson suggested that Indian gambling casinos may have <br />had an effect on the bingo hall. <br />Matson agreed and felt the current economy was <br />effecting business as well. <br />LaValle questioned a donation by North Suburban Youth <br />Association for repair of the running track at <br />Roseville High School. LaValle felt that this item was <br />the responsibility of the School District and should <br />have been paid for by tax dollars going to the <br />District. LaValle also questioned the donation of <br />$3,500 to the School District for a basketball <br />scoreboard. <br />Matson reported that his Association has addressed the <br />issue of the scoreboard and has sent a letter to the <br />School District indicating that they feel this type of <br />improvement is the District's responsibility. Aowever, <br />with regard to the track, Matson stated that it was <br />NSYA's feeling that the track repairs were a safety <br />item. However, Matson agreed that the School District <br />should take greater responsibility for the funding of <br />these kinds of projects. <br />Scalze reported that she looked at where the $106,000 <br />in funds raised by NSYA at the Little Canada Bingo Aall <br />were donated. Scalze stated that it appeared that only <br />$13,000 of these funds had a direct benefit on the <br />citizens of Little Canada. Scalze pointed out that <br />last year NSYA donated $4,000 to the Super Summer Day <br />Camp program, and she understands that there will be no <br />donation for this camp in 1992. Scalze urged NSYA to <br />assist that program more. Scalze reported that there <br />are a great many needs right here in Little Canada. <br />Matson reported that his organization does invite <br />people back even though their requests may have been <br />denied. Any request from Little Canada receives the <br />same consideration as other requests. <br />LaValle asked how many individuals on the NSYA Board <br />were from Little Canada. <br />Matson replied that there are 16 members of the Board <br />and 3 of those members are from Little Canada. Matson <br />stated that he believes the Little Canada board members <br />would say that the process NSYA uses is a fair one. <br />LaValle asked about the NSYA's commitment for funding <br />for the recently completed warming house on Demont <br />Street in Little Canada. <br />Page 9 <br />
