any questions the City Council might have.

critical to their business.
Mayor Willson stated he is pleased to see how the focus has changed in the food service area.
He added the applicant is putting together a good plan to meet the 40%threshold.
Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson requested clarification regarding the after-school
promotion.
Gary Paone, AMF District Manager, reviewed the company's new marketing plan and
promotional materials. He added marketing efforts will include group sales, local mailings, cold
calling, and a social media presence. He noted the AMF Earle Brown Lanes joined the Brooklyn
Center Business Association, and also reached out to Kelsey Schuster at Brooklyn Bridge
Alliance for Youth, who directed him to BrooklynConnect, the online community programming
database.
Mr. Paone stated an after-school bowling program is proposed, with $5 bowling and all-you-can-
eat pizza and soda. He added that will hopefully be in place in early January 2015.
Mr. Paone stated the kitchen will feature better menu items that will be available throughout the
center, and will be open as long as alcohol is served. He added a new kitchen manager is being
recruited to ensure high quality food and excellent customer service. He noted this has proven
challenging, but they hope to find a suitable candidate soon.
Mayor Willson stated all-you-can-eat pizza and soda could be a bad idea for high school
students, and a limit of 2-3 slices of pizza might be a better option.
Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson stated she recently toured the facility, and tables are placed
throughout the center. She added she feels comfortable that there is ample table seating. She
noted $5 is a great price point for high school kids, and the AMF's proximity to the high school
will bring in that business. She expressed her support of the changes being made by AMF Earle
Brown Lanes.
