Staff asked Kennedy & Graven to review the regulations and to suggest revisions that would be consistent with MN Statutes. The proposed revisions are attached. Discussion: Presently, state law requires that the local unit of government approve premises permits for organizations licensed to conduct lawful gambling. The City does not have a say in whether a group receives a license, only where such organizations may operate. There are certain activities (identified as excluded or exempted activities in Statutes) that the gambling board does not require a license to operate. These are most often related to Bingo at community events, such as the Community Theatre doing Bingo at the Festival, or temporary events such as the Shipwreck Museum last February at the Mermaid. In the proposed ordinance, these approvals are called “local permits” and would necessitate Council action. There are a number of options the Council may choose regarding the proposed ordinance which are highlighted in yellow for your reference. 1. 518.04: Does the City want to continue to approve local permits (exempted and excluded gambling activity)? It would seem to be beneficial to know when and where such lawful (albeit exempted or excluded) gambling activity is taking place, especially if the City is requiring 10% of the net profits be paid to the City. 2. 518.06, Subd 8: Of the eight standards for denial listed, four would seem appropriate (clauses a, b, g, h) while the other four clauses (c, d, e, f) would only be necessary if the Council so determined. Clause “c” would require that such lawful gambling could only occur where an on-sale liquor license has been issued—in other words, an organization would not be able to sell pull tabs at SuperAmerica or Aldi’s. Clause “d” would prevent the Lions or another licensed organization from being at more than one location in the City. I’m not sure it would be a problem to be at more than one location. Clause “e” is a variant of Clause “d” thus only one of the two would be needed, if either. Finally, Clause “f” would prevent more than one licensed organization to conduct lawful gambling at the same location. I’m not sure this would be a problem, although it would restrict temporary gambling permits at the Mermaid (such as for the Rotary or to the Shipwreck Museum) from being approved. Charitable Gambling Code Amendments September 8, 2009 Page 2 3. 518.07, Subd 8: Similar to the options in 518.06, there may be additional standards for local permit denial which the Council would not like to include. Clauses “a” and “b” would seem prudent to include, while Clause “c” requires the organization to have been in the City for three years. The Council may want to specify trade area in this clause or it would exclude the Rotary, the shipwreck Museum, Spring Lake Park Lions or the Blaine Jaycees. Clause “d” requires there to be a minimum number of active members. The suggestion is 15 however the original Code requires 30. (Statute requires 15 members for state licenses.) Clauses f, g, h and I are the same as c, d, e and f in 518.06, so whatever is decided in that section should be carried forward in 518.07 as well. 4. 518.12: This section related to the designated trade area, which is defined at the beginning of the ordinance to be Mounds View and its surrounding communities. This section proposes to require licensed organizations to spend 100% of the net profits in the trade area rather than 75%. Because Section 518.11 requires that the organization provide 10% of the net profits to the City, perhaps the Council would prefer maintaining the 75% threshold (the organization could certainly spend more than the 75% in the trade area. Recommendation: Please review the proposed code amendments relating to lawful charitable gambling in Mounds View. The proposed ordinance would add a new Chapter 518 and would revise the text in chapter 502 and 503. The Council has some options as to what requirements to include which are highlighted in yellow for easy reference. If you should have any questions regarding the proposed revisions, please do not hesitate to call me or Assistant Clerk-Administrator Desaree Crane.

Based on our review, a new Chapter 518 is proposed for your review and possible adoption along with some changes to Chapters 502 and 503 to simplify and streamline the existing ordinances. In consultation with the City Administrator, we decided to provide the Council with a comprehensive ordinance that largely reflects existing practices at the City as well as some additional optional provisions. One such additional provision is a $100 investigation fee at Section 518.06, subd. 4. The City may assess this fee on an organization applying for or renewing the state-issued premises permit. If the City charges this investigative fee, it may not impose a local (up to) three percent gambling tax. If a City collects a gambling tax it must file an annual report with the state. The proposed gambling ordinance does not provide for the three percent tax. The City may also require a local permit when lawful gambling that is otherwise exempt from state licensing requirements is conducted within the City. This local permit requirement is provided at Section 518.07. It is important to note that state law does not mandate that a city require a local permit; state law simply allows a city to require a local permit. Another notable new provision is in Section 518.11. This provision requires each organization licensed to conduct lawful gambling within the City to contribute ten percent of its net profits derived from lawful gambling in the City to a fund administered and regulated by the City. In turn, the City disperses these funds as charitable contributions. As indicated above, the ordinance provided for your review and consideration is comprehensive. However, every provision is not required by state law. In several instances, we have provided comments in brackets to assist in your discussion. We look forward to working with you to adopt an ordinance that meets the needs of the City. & Advertisement Coon Rapids might tap gambling profits to pay its bills The north metro city hopes that taking a portion of charitable gambling revenue will help pay for this year's July 4th celebration and for future community events. By MARIA ELENA BACA, Star Tribune Last update: July 22, 2009 - 11:16 PM Still scrambling to raise money for this year's July 4th celebration, Coon Rapids is working on a plan to support future community events with proceeds from charitable gambling. The City Council voted Tuesday to introduce an ordinance -- effective Sept. 1 -- requiring organizations that conduct charitable gambling to contribute 5 percent of net profits to a city-run fund. The organizations now are required to spend 10 percent of net profits in the city; the allocation will be deducted from that sum. Cities have the right, by state law, to require contributions of up to 10 percent of net profits from charitable gambling operations, said Tom Barrett, executive director of the state Gambling Control Board. Many take the maximum amount, using it for playground and emergency equipment, summer youth programs and other projects. In past years, the Coon Rapids Lions have bankrolled the city's fireworks display at a cost of about $25,000, but the organization first cut back, then withdrew this year because of dramatic decreases in gambling revenue and concerns about the club's ability to provide donations for basic needs in the community. The city has raised about $11,000 in private contributions, including a $10,000 Cub Foods grant, toward the $20,000 due next month for this year's scaled-back display. The Minnesota Gambling Control Board regulates 1,363 organizations statewide that raise money mostly through pull tabs, but also with raffles, bingo games, paddlewheels and tip boards. Statewide, charitable gambling receipts were down from 2007 to 2008. Organizations cite the statewide ban on smoking and general economic malaise. Coon Rapids has granted charitable gambling licenses to six organizations, including the American Legion Post 334, the Coon Rapids Lions, the Mat Bandits Wrestling Club, the National Little League and the Coon Rapids Youth Hockey Association. Other cities, including Andover, Blaine, Crystal, Ramsey and others, already have such funds, collecting tens of thousands of dollars for Advertisement community projects. Coon Rapids Mayor Tom Howe recommended that the city look into adopting a similar system. Most Coon Rapids organizations said their revenues from charitable gambling are down 10 to 40 percent from 2007. Still, leaders generally said they can support the concept. "This is going to come back to the community, and I'm OK with that," said John Keller, president of the Youth Hockey Association. Some noted, however, that with the dip in receipts, the allocation will come out of the sum they can give to other community organizations. "The bottom line is, what it's going to do is it's going to force us to focus primarily on ourselves," said Bob Adams, gambling manager for Mat Bandits, "because now all those other charities we've been giving to over the years outside our sport, we're not going to be able to do that anymore." Liz Reiser, past president of the Lions Club, said her group still is discussing how to best allocate diminishing resources. "One of the struggles even within our club is that people have different feelings about whether we should be, even if we had money, giving to things like fireworks," she said. Howe has a different take. "Actually, it's the right time because it's something that doesn't cost families anything to go to," he said. "It's entertainment for people who don't have the discretionary dollars." The council will vote on the measure Aug. 4.
