EARLE BROWN COMMONS AGREEMENT The HRA Coordinator stated that staff is recommending the HRA exercise the contract option to write down the cost of the Phase I land by $300,000 versus a long term commitment to food service at that facility. He stated he believes it is not in the City's best interest to be held to a long term commitment by providing services, and that it could limit the options available to the farm development. He noted that there was no formal action required for this item. Commissioner Lhotka asked what the $300,000 write down meant. The HRA Coordinator stated that basically there are two prices for the land, either $520,000 or $220,000. He noted that the $300,000 which would be the write down has to be used for a dining facility in Earle Brown Commons. Commissioner Theis asked if there was not a write down on the land, would the City provide - service forever. The HRA Coordinator stated that is basically correctm, or the City could try to renegotiate the contract at a later date.

EXTERIOR CONCRETE WORK REPLACE CRUMBLED OR BROKEN SIDEWALKS • 3oz 1 11ouz Jt2 ozmation MEMORANDUM TO: Gerald G. Splinter, City Manager FROM: Jim Lindsay, Chief of Police DATE: October 21, 1986 SUBJECT: Lawful Gambling Exemption Forms The Minnesota State Statute regarding lawful gambling in the state allows charitable organizations to have gambling events without obtaining a license under certain conditions. They must use five or fewer days per year for their events and they must give less than $50,000.00 in prizes during the year. If they qualify under these conditions, they must file a Lawful Gambling Exemption Form. This form is similar to a charitable gambling license application form in that the City must sign the form and receive a copy before the original is filed with the State. As with license applications, the City is then allowed thirty days to disallow the activity. If the City elects to disallow the activity, the Council must pass a resolution stating so and a certified copy must be sent to the State within the thirty day period. The main advantage to the charitable organization in filing for an exemption rather than a license is record keeping. If they receive an exemption they have a one time filing of receipts, prizes, expenses and profits within thirty days of the event. With a license they must file monthly reports for the entire year, whether they hold an event during that month or not. In either case, the tax paid to the State is the same. Since this Statute went into effect, Brooklyn Center has received five of these exemptions. The City Council has previously been notified of four of these exemptions. The first two were for St. Alphonsus Church and St. Alphonsus School and were for the various events held during the July 25, 26 and 27 Fun Fair. Next, we received another exemption form from St. Alphonsus Church for their November 8 and 9 bazaar for raffles and pull - tabs. This would use all five days allowed for the St. Alphonsus Church for the year 1986. We then received an exemption form from the Knights of Columbus for bingo and raffles (we assume this to be the yearly turkey bingo) for November 23, 1986. At this time, we have received another exemption form from the Knights of Columbus for raffles and pull -tabs to be used on December 31, 1986. From the date, this looks to be in connection with a New Years' Eve event. This would be the second day of the five allowed during a calendar year and would be allowed under State Statute. If the Council wishes to object, it must do so by resolution before November 14, 1986.
