MEMO TO: The Mounds View City Counc'1 FROM: Bruce K. Anderson, Di Parks, Recreation and y DATE: Novomber 17, 1982 RE: Golden Gloves Boxing Program The Mounds View Golden Gloves Boxing Program has been extremely successful during its past three months of operation with over fifty-six young men currently participating in the program on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings at Edgewood Community Center. The program is currently coordinated completely with volunteer leadership with two club directors, Mr. John Holmes, a Mounds View resident living in the Townsedge Trailer Park and Manny Bartolo coordinating the program on their own time. As you are aware, the City Council has already granted a six-month trial approval program for the Golden Gloves Boxing Program and (luring .its initial six weeks it appears Lo be extremely well re- ceived by the youth in the Mounds View community. John Holmes has made an initial contact with the Irondale High School Student Council and school administration and has set up a sparring exhibition to be sponsored by the student council at Irondale on December 16, 1982. The major reason for offering such a program is to raise additional monies for the Golden Gloves Program as no fees are charged for the program beyond the $12.50 medical insurance program, to enter the program. Any monies that might be raised through the sparring exhibition on December 16 would be used for the Golden Gloves Box- ing Program to purchase additional equipment, for school rental and hopefully the eventual purchase of a temporary boxing ring. In order to conduct a sparring exhibition in Minnesota, an application for a franchise must be submitted through the State of Minnesota to their Athletic Association to insure that all rules and regulations governing boxing in the State will be abided by. I have included a copy of the State of Minnesota official application, as can be noted, is extremely simple which needs to be accompanied by a $25.00 check which Mr. Holmes and Mr. Bartolo have indicated they will pay out of their own pockets. In addition to the enclosed application, I have included a copy of the signed waiver and hold harmless agree- ment whlcn was signed by nuL uiily Julia fiolmes but also Roger Founy the Executive Director of the State Golden Gloves boxing program as well as a copy of the year-end program for Golden Gloves boxing program and a copy of the physician's report which is required for all to fill out before participating in a Golden Gloves boxing match. Should you have any questions regarding the enclosed information, or official application form, please feel free to contact myself directly at extension #41. BKA/sll Enclosures
