Item No.7F Type of Business:CB WK: Work Session; PH: Public Hearing; CA: Consent Agenda; CB: Council Business City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Givonna Reed, Assistant to the City Administrator Item Title/Subject: Update Regarding Lake Region Hockey’s Application to Conduct Charitable Gambling at Robert’s Off 10 Date of Report: July 23, 2001 Background The Council will recall that at the July 9, 2001 Council meeting there was a recommendation from staff that the Council approve a license for Lake Region Hockey to conduct charitable gambling at Robert’s Off 10. Council Member Marty pulled this item off the consent agenda and Jerry Linke, a member of the Lions, approached the Council and indicated that the Lions had a charitable gambling license at Robert’s, and therefore, a charitable gambling license could not be granted to Lake Region Hockey. At that time the Council recessed and staff produced a signed application from the owner of Robert’s Off 10, Mr. Bob Waste, indicating that he had entered into a lease agreement with Lake Region Hockey to conduct charitable gambling at Robert’s Off 10. The item was tabled to allow staff time to further research the matter. Findings Shortly after the July 9th City Council meeting I spoke with Bob Waste and representatives of Lake Region Hockey and the Alcohol and Gambling Enforcement Division. A representative of Lake Region Hockey indicated that Lake Region was approached by a member of the Waste family and was asked to conduct charitable gambling at Robert’s Off 10. Mr. Waste confirmed the information I received from Lake Region Hockey and indicated that it was, in fact, his intent to terminate his lease agreement with the Lions. He mentioned that there were some problems with the way the Lions conducted business which is why he sought to terminate their lease and contract with Lake Region Hockey.
