Jordan stated that the Lions Club would abide by whatever decision was made by the Council, but would request that the Charitable Gambling Study Committee be unbiased and treat all organizations the same .

Duaine Denman, Commander of the Eden Prairie American Legion Post, stated that the new facility was scheduled to open in July, 1989 and that the opening of a new facility had been fused on the premise that charitable gambling and bingo would be a part of the operation . Penman noted that the American Legion had had a Class A License since 1c)833 and had riot ::een any problems created by allowing charitable gambling . Denman believed that a delay in the iss}.iance of the renewal of the Class A License would drastically affect the opening in July . Denman noted that y the Class A License would now be used to conduct bingo . He added that other non-profit organizations were being offered the opportunity to use the facility to operate "Bingo We-hts" ; however, the exact details of how other organizations would use the facility had not been worked taut at this: time. n Peterson ZIsked Denman if the income from c:hr_trit.:4blc q gambling was essential for operating expenses or to snake lease payments . Denman replied that the charitable gambling proceeds were used to support the Legion 's functions; such as baseball teams, etc . , to upgrade the i kitchen, and for maintenance and upkeep of the facility. Peterson asked Denman if more of the money would go toward the lease payment now than in the past . Denman replied that some of the income would come from renting part of the facility to other organizations . Peterson asked Denman what other organizations had been contacted . Denman replied the Sans of the Legion, Lions Club, and the Legion Auxiliary. Tt:npas asked Denman how critical the projected revenues from the charitable gambling had been in obtaining the financing for the new building . Denman replied that hP doubted that a mortgage would have been approved without the projected income from charitable gambling . T«Gnia.as asked Denman how many nights a year were projected for bingo . Denman replied bingo would be offered 5 nights a week . f-I ty CC),Jllcl l M1 ri,.ites. ?.r:L 1l ?`'•, ". '3f�� Tenpas asked Derim,.-in if there was any �,ryanization to which the Legion would not rent the facility. Denman Mated that the Legion would not discriminate against any organi;.ation which •.:ould meet the City and th<. States criteria for charitable (jambling . Tenpas questioned how the City could control charlt+:_►ble gambling licenses . Tenpas did not believe that it would be fair for the City to issue a license, to Legion; •-and not to the Lion^ Club . Tenpas said that his main cnncr_rn was making the 1 -suance of licenses equitable for all �. orjan1zations . Terlk­),asl added that he approved of Lingo; however , he was, concerned about allowing pulltabs . 7,21ripas was pleased to see that the Legion wars opening facility to other group and that the majority of the money from the proceeds would stay in Eden Prairie .

Denman added that a Class C license was for bingo only. Peterson stated that if the operation being Proposed by the Legion was going to be the same as before, he would vote for the renewal of the license; however , several questions remained unanswered . Peterson added that the Legion was now proposing to operate a full bingo operation, which had not been done be-fore. Peterson wished to have answers to the following questions related to the bingo operation : 1 . How much of the money would go to offset the lease payment? 2. flow will the program be administered? Peterson stated that the rationale for establishing a committee to study charitable gambling was to provide the Council with the necessary background information needed to make decisions like this one . Peterson believed that by .approving the Legion 's request, the Council would bci se nr1 ing .:a message to the Charitable Gambling Study Cominittee that there was nothing left to study. Harris understood that charitable gambling proceedr, could not he used for lease payments or r.onstruction . nonman �tatr_d that the organization must rely on l� asing the space to other organizations for charitable gambl1n�3 .

Harris stated that this proposal was attractive due to the localization of the charitable gambling events at one place . Pidcock asked Denman if the Legion had examined the history of facilities in other communities related to any history of problems or needs for additional police security.
