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
• 2. Deny Resolution No. 10 -94, disapproving the application based one of the
reasons set forth in Section 611 of the Lino Lakes Code of Ordinances.
RECOMMENDATION:
Option 1.
