Office of: <br />JOSEPH G. CHLEBECK, Clerk <br />515 Little Canada Road <br />Little Canada. Minn. 55117 <br />4842177 <br />CITY OF LITTLE CANADA <br />RAMSEY COUNTY, MINNESOTA <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: City Council <br />FROM: Michael I. Fahey, Mayor <br />DATE: June 17, 1988 <br />RE: Bank Shot Billiards <br />2660 Rice Street <br />MAYOR <br />Michael Fahey <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scalia <br />Bill Blesener <br />Rick Collova <br />Jim LaValle <br />On June 4, 1988 I received a call from a Ron Sieverson who filed <br />two complaints regarding the Bank Shot Billiards. <br />The first occasion he referenced what occurred on Saturday, <br />May 28. Sieverson described himself as a pool afficionado who was <br />in Bank Shot Billiards playing pool when he was approached by a <br />Darryl Louis who he had seen on three or four prior occasions. He <br />knew Louis to be an individual who had a police record, and <br />Sieverson said had recently been arrested for prostitution with <br />young girls. Louis wanted Sieverson to play pool for money and <br />after Sieverson beat him in several games, Louis picked up a cue to <br />swing at Sieverson and Sieverson was fearful that he was going to <br />get struck with the cue stick. Sieverson stated that Louis' eyes <br />appeared dilated and believed Louis was high on some type of <br />drugs. Sieverson complained to the young man working there and <br />said that the manager was not interested that this individual was <br />hanging out there and did not give him any assistance. <br />The second occasion Sieverson referred to was undated. He said <br />that on another night some kids were eating pizza and beer out in <br />front of the billiard hall and he informed the manager about it. <br />The manager said that they could not do anything to stop it. <br />Sieverson said that there were a couple of young kids running the <br />place that do not seem to really know how to run a pool hall or <br />maintain control. <br />Sieverson suggested that the Council take a look at University <br />Billiards in Fridley which is one of the best run billiard halls in <br />the country. He is concerned that given the management at Bank <br />Shot Billiards, it could become a hangout for undesirables and <br />become like J &B Sidepockets in Minneapolis which is a very bad <br />place for playing pool. <br />I told Sieverson that I would file his complaint with the City. <br />MF:kv <br />Page 83 <br />
