I received two letters by the scheduled response date of December 30. One letter was received by David A. Ross, 992 Hatch Avenue, who wrote that the "expansion of gambling is not in the best interest of the community." Racquel Naylor, Secretary, asked Mr. Ross last week if he would attend a Legislative Hearing on this matter, and he said he would notify her later. Mr. Ross called later and said that he will not be attending a Legislative Hearing. Prior to this call, Mr. Ross attended the Legislative Hearing on January 5 regarding the Gambling Manager License for St. Bernard's Catholic Church, and he provided similar input on the issuance of that license. Mr. Ross' letter seems to speak to the issue of gambling in general and not the license application for Midway Stadium Lounge. Another letter was received by Jeff Martens, Land Use Task Force Chair of the District 6 Planning Council, 213 Front Avenue, who wrote that they voted unanimously to approve the ficense for Midway Stadium Lounge. Given the fact that Mr. Ross does not want to attend a Legislative Hearing for this application, his objections do not constitute a reason to deny this license, and the District 6 Planning Council voted to approve this license application, I am recommending that the City Council approve the resolution to grant the Gambling Location License to Midway Stadium Lounge. c: Christine Rozek and Kristine Schweinler, LIEP CITY HALL THIRD FLOOR 15 WEST KELLOGG BOULEVARD SAINT PAUL, MIlVNSSOTA 55102-1615 � AA-ADA-8E0 Employu �tiJ l�O Dis�iet 6 Planning Council _ , - _. ...

I wish to oppose both licenses being issued and feel the expansion of gambling is not in the best interest of the community. I also find it very spiritually repugnant that one of the applicants is the Church of St. Bernazds. Gambling is an addicrion and has nrined lives, cazeers and does much harm. I oppose these licenses being issued. Thank you kindly for keeping me informed. Sincerely, �� David A. Ross 992 Hatch Ave. St. Paul, MN 55103 651-335-9324
