MAYOR & COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
-- page 1 --
DATE: May 3, 2016 CONSENT ITEM #5 AGENDA ITEM: Approve Lawful Gambling Premises Permit for Catholic Parent’s Club SUBMITTED BY: Julie Johnson, City Clerk
THROUGH: Kristina Handt, City Administrator REVIEWED BY: City Attorney’s Office
POLICY RECOMMENDER: City Clerk
FISCAL IMPACT: City will receive 10% of net proceeds of the gambling operation.
SUMMARY AND ACTION REQUESTED: Catholic Parents Club is applying for a premises permit to conduct pull tab sales from a staffed booth in the bar area of the Machine Shed Restaurant in Lake Elmo. The Council approved a premises permit at the April 19, 2016
meeting for the Oakdale Athletic Association to conduct pull tab sales at the Machine Shed but
has not taken action on this application. Catholic Parents Club has not withdrawn its application and, therefore, the Council must take action within 90 days to approve or deny it. The City Attorney has indicated that the premises permit is issued by the State, with a condition precedent for issuance being City approval. The application to the State also requires a copy of the lease
with the Machine Shed, so it will need to work out that detail with Catholic Parents Club if it
chooses to only allow Oakdale Athletic Association to sell pull tabs. In order for the application to be considered by the Gambling Control Board, the City must pass a Resolution approving the application. The Gambling Control Board will then review the
application and supporting materials and approve or deny the application. The applicant will
then be required, per City ordinance, to provide additional documentation to the City prior to beginning operations. RECOMMENDATION: If removed from the Consent Agenda, staff recommends the
following motion: “Motion to adopt Resolution 2016-26 Approving the Lawful Gambling Premises Permit for Catholic Parents Club to conduct lawful gambling at the Machine Shed Restaurant located at 8515 Hudson Road, Lake Elmo, Minnesota.”
