ds View City Council lar Meeting Page Seven October 28, 1991 days of training. Michaud said that this law would prevent competitions such as Barstool Bullies from occurring. CJ 7. • Michaud stated that Barstool Bullies competitors are required to use safety equipment such as head gear, kidney belts, 16 oz. gloves, mouth pieces, knee pads and elbow pads to name a few. Mark Karney, City Attorney, stated that the 60 day training rule, established by the State Boxing Commission, had not been repealed. Barney felt that if the City approved this type of competition, that they would be promoting an illegal activity. Mayor Linke asked why the Boxing Commission would forego this 60 day training period if it is written in the state law? Mayor Linke stated that it was his belief that only legislators could change state law. Mark Rarney, City Attorney, stated that Barstool Promotions is asking the City Council to approve a technically illegal activity. Greg Michaud stated that his alternative would be to go to Minneapolis and conduct the event without approval from that City. Orduno stated that if it has been 10 years since this event was held in Minnesota, then the Boxing Board has not changed those rules for a 60 day training period during that timeframe. Michaud stated that Jerry Kaufman advised him that there would be no problem with conducting this event if Barstool Promotions went through the Boxing Commission. How the 60 day training period was noted was that one of the fellows at the Boxing Commission office found an old folder with this information regarding the 60 day training period law in it. Again, Michaud stated this rule is made so promoters go through the Boxing Commission and agree to work with the Boxing commission in setting up these matches. MOTION/SECOND: Wuori/Rickaby to deny the application for the Barstool Bullies competition that was to be held on December 3 and 4th at the Bel-Rae Ballroom due to the fact that the competition does not meet state regulations for amateur or professional boxing. 5 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried Samantha Orduno, City Administrator, reviewed Staff Report No. 91-1000 regarding the 1992 Budget for the North Suburban Cable Commission.
