MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />FEBRUARY 26, 1992 <br />pending at this time. <br />LaValle asked if St. Joseph's Society was in compliance <br />with the State's financial regulations. <br />Blomberg replied that she believed St. Joe's was in <br />compliance if the months of July through November, 1991 <br />were eliminated. These are the months that a dissident <br />group operated St. Joe's. Blomberg reported that St. <br />Joe's attorney has requested that the State Gambling <br />Board eliminate those months, and the attorney is <br />confident that the State will honor that request. <br />LaValle reported that he has reviewed both the 1990 and <br />1991 Schedule C's for St. Joe's and noted that <br />contributions dropped dramatically during 1991. <br />LaValle stated that he hoped that now that the original <br />group was back in control, that St. Joe's would again <br />be a strong supporter of the City as they had been in <br />the past. <br />Blomberg reported that there was a membership meeting <br />of St. Joe's last night. At that meeting a$40,000 <br />contribution to the Little Canada Recreation <br />Association was approved for the months of December, <br />1991, and January and February of 1992. Blomberg also <br />reported that the membership approved the January, 1992 <br />payments to the City for the 3% enforcement tax and 10% <br />capital improvement donation. These funds were given <br />to the City today. <br />LaValle reported that in 1990 St. Joe's made a <br />commitment of $25,000 to help with property purchase <br />for the new fire station site. These funds were never <br />received by the City. <br />Blomberg reported that the membership discussed this <br />subject last evening, and agreed that as soon as funds <br />are available, the $25,000 will be paid to the City for <br />this purpose. <br />Blesener noted that St. Joe's has already donated <br />$50,000 towards the fire station property purchase, and <br />had promised an additional $25,000 when it became <br />apparent that the property was going to be more <br />expensive than anticipated. <br />LaValle acknowledged that St. Joe's has been a real <br />supporter of the City and its parks as well as capital <br />improvements. it was noted that the City is putting <br />together a capital improvement needs list that will be <br />available for review by charities should they wish to <br />make any donations to the City over and above what is <br />required by the ordinance. <br />Page 8 <br />
