COUNCIL MINUTES AUGUST 12, 1996 Ms. Anderson pointed out that the Gambling Ordinance requires that all nonprofit gambling organizations donate 10% of their net profits to the benefit of the residents of Lino Lakes. Since the Dead Broke Saddle Club did not donate this 10% directly to the residents of Lino Lakes, it is required to pay the sum of $2,266.73 in cash to the City. This money has been placed in a separate account to be held until Council determines an appropriate legal use for the funds. The purpose of Resolution No. 96 - 87 is to formally thank the Dead Broke Saddle Club for its donation. Council Member Bergeson moved to adopt Resolution No. 96 - 87, as presented. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Resolution No. 96 - 87 can be found at the end of these minutes. Consideration of Minutes, July 22, 1996 (Council Member Lyden was absent) - Council Member Lyden moved to approve the December 8, 1997 Minutes, as submitted. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Consideration of Election Judge Appointments, 1996 State Primary and 1996 General Election, Marilyn Anderson - Ms. Anderson presented Council with a list of election judges currently being trained and prepared to carry out the 1996 State primary and general election. If the list is approved by Council, Ms. Anderson indicated that she, with the help of her Chief Judge, determine which precinct each judge will work, carefully considering a balance of Democratic and Republican Judges. Council Member Bergeson pointed out that Mary Joan Doyle no longer resides in Lino Lakes. Ms. Anderson indicated that she had been so advised, and would adjust the list accordingly. Council Member Kuether moved to appoint the 1996 State primary and general election judges as presented, with the exception of Mary Joan Doyle. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried, with Council Member Bergeson abstaining. Survey - Council Member Bergeson raised an issue with Question No. 84, which asks "If the City of Lino Lakes were to attract more development, what kind would you want it to be?", expressing concern that the question is ambiguous. Additionally, he felt that the Charter question, initially asking about starting a road fund and revised to be extremely detailed, should be rewritten for ease of reading. Council Member Kuether suggested that questions such as the Charter question, which are extremely technical in nature, may have to be broken down into more than one issue. Council Member Bergeson added that interchanging word tenses within the Survey creates confusion. 14
