The primary type of gambling is pull -tabs, bingo, paddlewheel and <br />tipboards. <br />Discussion: The Lakes Region Hockey Association helps in funding youth hockey programs that <br />include Mounds View and surrounding suburbs. LRHA has conducted charitable gambling at <br />Moe's in the past, the last time being in 2008. The Fridley Lions Club is currently conducting <br />lawful gambling, but their lease with Moe's is up the end of July. <br />Organizations conducting lawful gambling must file a report to the City annually proving <br />compliance with the trade area spending requirement as required in Chapter 518.12 of the City <br />Code. Staff will follow up on this requirement. <br />The Minnesota Gambling Board requires that the City of Mounds View pass a resolution <br />specifically approving or denying the State Premises Permit Application. A copy of which is to be <br />forwarded to the State Gambling Board. <br />Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal: Continue to be a progressive City that is welcoming and a desirable <br />destination where residents can work, live, and play safely while also maintaining a positive business <br />climate where businesses want to remain in Mounds View. <br />Financial Impact: None.
