This renewal is effective 04/01/00 through 03/31/02. The profits from charitable gambling are being directed to ice costs, in order to keep the cost of playing hockey as reasonable as possible. In doing this, we are hoping to make playing youth hockey available to as many children in our community as we can. Since our last license renewal, our Lawful Purpose Contributions were as follows: 3- 17 -98: $ 1150.00 2- 16 -99: 4741.45 4- 12 -99: 1037.50 4- 21 -99: 33,088.06 11- 16 -99: 5513.06 For a total of $45,530.07, which helps pay for ice time costs for our hockey players. It also helps pay for the Stillwater Area Hockey Association's contribution to the St. Croix Recreation Center, which benefits many community activities. Thank you for your attention in this matter and please let me know if you need any further information in order to process this application. �Axe- Carla I Love, .Gambling Manager Stillwater Area Hockey 0651) 436 -3207 • CITY OF OAK PARK HEIGHTS RESOLUTION 00 -01 -04 A RESOLUTION DESIGNATING 2000 CHECKING & BANK DEPOSITORIES Central Bank — Checking, Savings and Investments Lake Elmo Bank — Investments First State Bank of Bayport — Investments Firstar Bank — Investments US Bank — Investments Jennings State Bank — Investments Norwest Bank — Investments League of Minnesota Cities 4M Fund — Investments Miller, Johnson, Kuehn, Inc. — Investments Smith Barney — Investments Edward Jones - Investments Passed by the City Council of Oak Park Heights thi 1 day of January, 2000. • David D.
