Mounds View City Council February 25, 2008 <br />Regular Meeting Page 2 <br />• <br />Council Member Stigney asked whether the loss of funds resulting from the earlier burglary is <br />covered by insurance. <br />Mark Healy of Community Charities indicated it was not. He then explained that they were <br />robbed during business hours and they lost a substantial amount of money. <br />Mayor Marty said that it seems strange to keep all of their money there. <br />Mr. Healy indicated that the employee prepared the money to deposit, but there was not access to <br />the bank night deposit, so the money was stored in a locked metal cabinet, and it was Christmas <br />weekend. <br />Mayor Marty asked whether a headquarters or majority of the group lives in town. <br />Interim Administrator Ericson explained that the Code was revised to allow the headquarters to <br />be located anywhere, provided that they contribute to the trade area. <br />Council Member Mueller said she was curious as to why the cash was not covered by insurance. <br />Mr. Healy indicated that there is insurance for liability and to cover the gambling manager. But, <br />however, it is cost prohibitive to cover the cash against theft or burglary. <br />Council Member Flaherty asked how the shortages are being addressed. <br />Mr. Healy said that the machine that was malfunctioning was fixed, and with two machines, they <br />believe that the shortage issues will go away. <br />Council Member Stigney said he noticed that no contributions were made at all in 2007. <br />Mr. Healy indicated that they have only been operating in the City for four months. <br />MOTION/SECOND: Flaherty/Stigney. To Waive the Reading and Approve Resolution 7227, <br />Approving a Charitable Gambling Permit for Community Charities of Minnesota to Conduct <br />Charitable Gambling at The Mermaid. <br />Council Member Stigney suggested that any month that there is no contribution that this come to <br />the City for evaluation. <br />Mr. Healy asked whether there is an Ordinance that requires that 10% come back to the City. <br />Attorney Riggs indicated that it does not specify monthly as written, but reporting is monthly. <br />• MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/Mueller. Amend to Approve Conditionally and Require Quarterly <br />Reporting to Council. <br />
