July 25, 1991 <br /> Page 2 <br /> I was contacted by many residents about this issue and the <br /> majority felt that the three cities showed their support for <br /> the fire department's needs by approving a $4.5 million <br /> referendum in November and that charitable gambling should <br /> be left to the service organizations in the area. I shared <br /> their concerns and had some of my own. With the change in <br /> the fire department's status with the three cities, no <br /> longer owning the assets and being primarily only under <br /> contact as employees (part-time) to provide the cities with <br /> fire protection service, I question if the State would <br /> consider them qualifying for non-profit status. <br /> Furthermore, they now, in my opinion, are the same as any <br /> other department in the City; that is, equal to public <br /> works, parks and recreation, police, etc. and would <br /> certainly not qualify for charitable gambling status in <br /> Spring Lake Park. <br /> In conclusion, as the fire department operates under a <br /> joint powers agreement between the three cities of <br /> Blaine, Mounds View and Spring Lake Park, I am requesting <br /> your consideration for a resolution of support for action <br /> taken by the City Council of Spring Lake Park in <br /> reference to denial of the fire department's involvement <br /> in charitable gambling. <br /> Thank you for your time and consideration. <br /> Sinc rel , <br /> Harley Wee //ls <br /> Mayor <br />
