CITY ADMINISTRATOR City Administrator Brian Koral gave a report on gaming, the video
lottery terminals (VTL) legislation, and the issue we have with our
lobbyist being in conflict with the city interests in respect to the
VLT legislation. Mayor Rose added information to this topic, VLTs
will have few controls which is much different than gaming
regulations and will have an effect on gaming in the state. The
HomeDoc cities are working together to possibly get their own
lobbyist to stay on top of these efforts. Community Development
Director Mike Duffy also reported additional information about
results of VLTs in the states that have already allowed them.
Koral then shared an email Chief Skinrood received from a citizen
offering kudos to Sergeant Paul Campbell for his help and
professionalism when working an accident this person was in and
Campbell response to the situation.
