Consideration of Ordinance No. 04 - 89 Amending Ordinance No. 17 - 89 Regulating Lawful Gambling - Mr. Hawkins explained that the Gambling Ordinance is generating more money than what can'be used for investigation purposes. Mayor Benson noted that this money can be used to hire someone to administer the ordinance. Mr. Hawkins felt that there would not be much of a problem in Lino Lakes and there would be no need to hire anyone to monitor the gambling within the City. Mr. Bisel explained that he was not sure that this ordinance would stop people from coming into Lino Lakes, holding the gambling occasion and then take the money out of Lino Lakes. He felt the critera established was not strict enough. Mrs. Anderson told the Council that each month all organizations holding licenses must submit a report to her and these reports do list where the money collected is donated. Mr. Bisel said he would like to see some of the reports to determine where the money is going in Lino Lakes. Mr. Reinert moved to approve the first reading of Ordinance No. 04 - 89 reducing the City gambling tax from 3% to 1 /10th% and direct the City Administrator to report back to the Council where money is going in Lino Lakes. Mr. Bisel seconded the motion. Motion carried with Mr. Bohjanen, Mr. Neal, Mr. Bisel, Mr. Reinert and Mayor Benson all voting aye. This ordinance can be found at the end of these minutes.
