Daryl Olson from the Saint Paul Police Department ice Unit to Gopher Elks Lodge. We arrived at the Gopher Elks Lodge, 739 Selby Avenue, at approximately 10:20 p.m. They had a security p rson at the door. Lt. Daryl Olson identified himself as a vice offi er and me as Kris Van Horn from the License Division to this person. He then opened the door to the lower part of the building with a key. We went to the bar where approxim tely 10 people were sitting and drink- ing. I observed a female bartend r. We asked to speak to the person in charge and went to sit at a table in the area. The music from the juke box was so loud, I found it very ifficult to hear or understand what was being said. I don`t think the gentleman that 'ndicated he was the manager was very familiar with the operation, and 'ndicated that Cornelius Brown was the person that was in charge there ring the day. We asked the manager how a person got in and were tol that you would have to be a member or purchase a guest pass for $3.00 t the door. There were bottles located behin the bar. I did not see whether they Iiad names on them or not. Lt. 0 son had gone behind the bar to talk to the bartender and check out the ottles. I stayed with the manager and tried to find out more about how a person became a member. He indicated that he thought that they were v ted in at a meeting, but he wasn't sure. The guest passes were purchased t the door for $3.00 and logged in a register that was kept upstairs. You didn't have to be with a member in order to purchase a guest pass. Lt. Olson finished his intervie and we went upstairs to talk to the doorman. He indicated that you ould have to have a card or a key to get in or have a guest pass whi was Iogged in a book that was kept downstairs or someplace, but he didn't have it. • r' l� _ � . � � ���a� Tom Weyandt Page 2 August 24, 1989 � Two males, approximately 45-50 year old entered as we were leaving. They indicated that they knew the d orman and had to wait for him to open the door. I saw no cards sho and they did not have a key. We left at 11:00 p.m. On Monday at 8:00 a.m. , Cornelius B own contacted me and I informed him that we had been observing the oper tion of all the Private Clubs. He indicated that the large amount of eer in their coolers was for their bowling team. On Tuesday and Thur ay nights the club gives them free beer. He then changed it to Tuesd and Friday. I asked him where they bought their liquor and he said at various liquor stores in the neighbor- hood.

The names of all Brothers d Daughters of the Elks in St. Paul, MN are 1'sted on a roster on file with the club manage at 739 Selby Avenue. 8. I would like to inform yo that all of our help is voluntary. We are a n n-profit organization and we are in tYie process of selling our property at 739 Selby and we are h peful that we will be closing on or before Dec r 1, 1989. Based on our assesr�nt, we believe the above eight conditions should address the specific problems that may have existed. We don't wish to contest the complaint, but requ st the City Council would accept these stipulations to meet the req 'rements of the City ordinance. We request that no penalty be ass sed against us because of a mis- understanding by our new mernbers s to the requirements of a club license. The GOPHER ELK.S LODGE NO. 105 has been apart of the St. Paul community for eight-three (83) years and ha tried to abide by the rules and regulations of the Ci�cy of St. Pa l. It will be our endeavor to meet t e ccxnpliance as set forth by the City of St. Paul, Minnesota. Fraternally, -'� i� 1. eo e ius rown Sr. TID RUI�R � ����r C T: , Alexander B.

Daryl Olson from the Saint Paul Police Department ice Unit to Gopher Elks Lodge. We arrived at the Gopher Elks Lodge, 739 Selby Avenue, at approximately 10:20 p.m. They had a security p rson at the door. Lt. Daryl Olson identified himself as a vice offi er and me as Kris Van Horn from the License Division to this person. He then opened the door to the lower part of the building with a key. We went to the bar where approxim tely 10 people were sitting and drink- ing. I observed a female bartend r. We asked to speak to the person in charge and went to sit at a table in the area. The music from the juke box was so loud, I found it very ifficult to hear or understand what was being said. I don`t think the gentleman that ndicated he was the manager was very familiar with the operation, and ndicated that Cornelius Brown was the person that was in charge there d ring the day. We asked the manager how a person got in and were told that you would have to be a member or purchase a guest pass for $3.00 a the door. There were bottles located behind the bar. I did not see whether they had names on them or not. Lt. Ol on had gone behind the bar to talk to the bartender and check out the b ttles. I stayed with the manager and tried to find out more about how person became a member. He indicated that he thought that they were vo ed in at a meeting, but he wasn't sure. The guest passes were purchased a the door for $3.00 and logged in a register that was kept upstairs. You didn't have to be with a member in order to purchase a guest pass. Lt. Olson finished his interview nd we went upstairs to talk to the doorman. He indicated that you w uld have to have a card or a key to get in or have a guest pass which was logged in a book that was kept downstairs or someplace, but he d'dn't have it. rr- . � : � � r Tom Weyandt Page 2 August 24, 1989 Two males, approximately 45-50 ye rs old entered as we were leaving. They indicated that they knew the doorman and had to wait for him to open the door. I saw no cards sh wn and they did not have a key. We left at 11:00 p.m. On Monday at 8:00 a.m. , Cornelius Brown contacted me and I informed him that we had been observing the op ration of all the Private Clubs. He indicated that the large amount o beer in their coolers was for their bowling team. On Tuesday and Thu sday nights the club gives them free beer. He then changed it to Tues ay and Friday. I asked him where they bought their liquor and he said a various liquor stores in the neighbor- hood. KVH/lb cc: Mr. Carchedi , , GOPHER LODGE NO. 105 I����r�/�D v I.B.P. .E.
