CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE PRIOR
LAKE OPTIMIST CLUB PREMISE PERMIT FOR LAWFUL GAMBLING
Introduction
The purpose of this agenda item is to consider approval of a resolution to
approve a premise permit for lawful gambling for the Prior Lake Optimist
Club at The Cove. This permit would allow them to sell pull tabs at The
Cove, located at 15750 Highway 13 South.
Historv
State statute allows non-profit organizations to sell pull tabs at
establishments throughout the state. Cities have the right to approve or
deny a lawful gambling permit with respect to pull tabs. If a City approves
the request for a premise permit, state statute requires that a resolution
must be passed for the approval.
Current Circumstances
The Prior Lake Optimist Club has entered into a lease agreement with The
Cove restaurant for the sale of pull tabs, as required by state statute. They
have submitted a copy of this lease agreement along with a copy of the
premise permit application to the City. The Prior Lake Optimist Club
currently has premise permits to sell pull tabs at O'Malley's on Main, 16211
Main Avenue SE, and Extra Innings, 16299 Main Avenue SE.
Conclusion
The Prior Lake Police Department has conducted an investigation of this
applicant and has reported no complaints with regard to pull tab sales.
The Prior Lake Optimist Club has paid the $100.00 application fee. They
have also made many donations over the years to the City of Prior Lake in
support of various community programs. These donations have included
contributions for the community gardens, city entry monuments, city hall
display cases, as well as annual donations for fire safety camp and
scholarships for the summer recreation programs.
1. Adopt a resolution approving the premise permit for lawful gambling
for the Prior Lake Optimist Club at The Cove.
2. Deny the premise permit request.
RECOMMENDED Alternative #1.
