• STAFF ORIGINATOR: MEETING DATE: TOPIC: VOTE REQUIRED: BACKGROUND: AGENDA ITEM 1E Julie Bartell, City Clerk October 25, 2010 Consider Adoption of Resolution No. 10 -94, Approving a Premises Permit for the Dead Broke Saddle Club to conduct Charitable Gambling at American Legion Post 566 Simple Majority (3/5 Vote Required) An application for a Premises Permit has been submitted by the Dead Broke Saddle Club. The applicants are Eric Wesman, Chief Executive Officer, and Mark Larson, Gambling Manager. The application requests permission for the Club to conduct charitable gambling at American Legion Post 566, 7731 Lake Drive. Charitable gambling is already in place at that location but the current benefiting organization, the Lino Lakes Lions Club, is no longer interested in operating gambling at that location. The Lino Lakes Code of Ordinances, Section 611, regulates lawful gambling in the city. The code includes eligibility requirements for organizations wishing to conduct lawful gambling. The Dead Brook Saddle Club is eligible because they have at least 15 members that are residents of the city. The code also requires that the police department review and make a recommendation on premise permit applications; the Lino Lakes Police Department has conducted a background investigation and found no information on the principal applicants that would give reason to deny the application. Minnesota Lawful Gambling law requires that the local unit of government approve premise permit applications before such are submitted to the Gambling Control Board for final consideration. Therefore, the City Council is being asked to consider approval of the attached resolution approving the application submitted by the Dead Broke Saddle Club. OPTIONS: 1. Approve Resolution No. 10 -94 approving a premises permit for the Dead Broke Saddle Club to conduct charitable gambling at American Legion Post 566
