AGENDA ITEM NO. 12A STAFF ORIGINATOR Marilyn Anderson, Clerk DATE December 8, 1995 TOPIC Consideration of the Renewal of the Gambling License for the Circle -Lex VFW, Post #6583 BACKGROUND: Gambling licenses must be renewed bi-annually with the State of Minnesota. Although the Lino Lakes Crumbling Ordinance does not specifically address the license period, the Ordinance does adopt State Statute 349 which regulates the State license period. Therefore, the Lino Lakes license period coincides with the State license period. The gambling license for the Circle -Lex VFW, Post #6583 expires on March 31, 1996. The VFW has applied for renewal of their license and if approved by the State and by the City Council the renewal of the license will be effective April 1, 1996. The VFW has complied with the Lino Lakes Gambling Ordinance by donating at least 10% of their net profits to benefit the residents of Lino Lakes. Listing all of their donations would take some time. There was a resolution this evening accepting a donation and such resolutions appear on the City Council agenda on a regular basis. In addition to donating equipment to various City departments and money for the improvement of the City parks, the VFW donates to private individuals in the community who are experiencing troubled periods in their lives. I would recommend that the City Council approve the application for renewal of the gambling license for the Circle -Lex VFW, Post #6583.
