Mr. Porter summarized a report which he had prepared for Council which states that in 1977, the State Legislature provided a local option whereby bingo games could be conducted by charitable organizations. The organiza- tion authorized to conduct bingo games "shall conduct a bingo game only on property owned or leased by it, or property whose use is donated to the organization, and which property is used by such organization for an office or for performance of the purpose for which the organization is organized." <;~ - In 1978, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 564 which authorizes bingo to be conducted "on1y on property owned or leased by (the licensed organ- ization), and which property is used by such organization for an office or for performance of the purposes for which the organization is organized." In order for the City to authorize the Chamber of Commerce to conduct bingo on the Community Center premises, our ordinance would have to be amended to expand the places where bingo can be played, and the Chamber would have to relocate its office there~ Therefore, Mr. Porter recommended Council deny the request by the Chamber of Commerce to conduct bingo games at the Lake Community Center as well as the request for an advance of $4,000 to commence operation of the. program. MOVED BY TORN, SECONDED BY MAC MURRAY AND CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY TO DENY THE REQUESTS OF THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE TO CONDUCT BINGO GAMES AT THE LAKE COMMUNITY CENTER AND THE ADVANCE OF $4,000. 55.
