The meeting was reconvened at 8:34 P.M. GAMBLING Scalze reported that the reason the Council amended the Premises Permit application submitted by North Suburban Youth Association was not because o£ dollars, but because the Council has a request from a local charity for more gambling occasions per week. Scalze pointed out the Cities of Roseville and Maplewood require that a charitable organization have a city address in order to operate a gambling site within their respective cities. Scalze wanted the record clear that the Council action in reducing NSYA to two occasions per week was not because of how much money a charity contributes to the City, but rather to address a request from a local charity. Scalze pointed out that the Minnesota State Lottery does not operate in order to give funds to a neighboring state, but rather for the benefit of the State of Minnesota. LaValle agreed that the Council's action was to give preference to a City-based organization. 13
