1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 11, 1989 <br />that probably the trade area was not adequately defined. <br />Maybe a radius would be better or possibly specify other <br />communities. Mr. Hawkins said the radius suggestion would be <br />the best. Mayor Benson noted that the Economic Development <br />Committee has been defining trade area and suggested that <br />this be looked at for further ideas. <br />Mr. Bisel noted that not only the VFW but also the Centennial <br />Fire Department represents a much larger area than the Lino <br />Lakes corporate boundaries. Both of these organizations are <br />looking at building facilities and wish to use some of the <br />money for that purpose. This would be greatly reduced if <br />this ordinance is enacted. Mr. Bohjanen noted that 45% of <br />the gross proceeds are set aside for operation of the <br />gambling concern. This leaves a balance of 55% and if 50% is <br />required to be spent in Lino Lakes, this leaves very little <br />to donate to other worthwhile causes. He also noted that <br />every time one turns around the rules at the state level <br />change. It is very difficult to keep up with these changes. <br />Mr. Hawkins noted that this is a Council decision. He has <br />provided the state statutes and the Council may make their <br />ordinance narrower than these statutes. <br />Mr. Reinert moved to table this item until more information <br />is received. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion. Motion <br />carried unanimously. <br />ENGINEER'S REPORT - RON STAHLBERG <br />Introduction of Darrell Schneider - Mr. Stahlberg introduced <br />Mr. Schneider to the Council and noted that Mr. Schneider <br />will be serving in the capacity of City Engineer representing <br />TKDA. Mr. Schneider has already provided a resume for the <br />Council to consider and he gave a brief account of his public <br />service. He explained that he was impressed with the City <br />and its potential growth. He also said he was impressed with <br />the sophistication of the Council and staff. The Council <br />welcomed Mr. Schneider. <br />OLD BUSINESS <br />Set Budget Work Session for Week of December 18, 1989 - Mr. <br />Bohjanen moved to set the meeting for Monday, December 18, <br />1989 at 3:30 P.M.
