OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS PAGE 2 JUNE 17, 1991 <br /> Councilmember Mathiowetz expressed his opinion that the Council should <br /> handle the matter and not delay the decision. <br /> Mr. Dan Chandler, Minnesota/USA Wrestling, requested that their <br /> premise permit be tabled because their application is still missing <br /> one document and their spokesperson, Mr. LaBatt and their Attorney <br /> were under the impression the applications would be tabled and are <br /> therefore, not present. <br /> COUNCILMEMBER MATHIOWETZ OFFERED A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT TO TABLE THE <br /> PREMISE PERMIT FOR MINNESOTA/USA WRESTLING UNTIL THERE IS A FULL <br /> COUNCIL. COUNCILMEMBER HOLLOM ACCEPTED THE FRIENDLY AMENDMENT. ROLL <br /> CALL VOTE: ALL AYES. MOTION CARRIED. <br /> C. Premise Permit - Spring Lake Park Fire Department <br /> Clerk Busch informed the Council that the Fire Department has made the <br /> following changes to their permit application: (1) the assistant <br /> manager will be Nyle Zickman and (2) a new proposal has been submitted <br /> from Working Capital for accounting services at a minimum monthly <br /> retainer of $400 per location rather than the previous figure of <br /> $1,500.

Mayor Wells expressed concern that the actual accounting <br /> expenses will cost much more than the minimum. Mayor Wells stated <br /> that he is generally concerned about the fire department being <br />
