Under state statute the City has the right to deny lawful gambling permits with respect to pull tabs. History The State Gambling Control Board allows non-profit organizations to apply for lawful gambling premise permits as a means to raise funds for their organization. The City must pass a resolution approving the premise permit request. As a general rule, proceeds from these gambling operations are often returned to the community by way of donations to cities, school districts, etc. Current Circumstances The Prior Lake Water Ski Association is applying for a premise permit for lawful gambling at Memories on Main, 16211 Main Avenue, Prior Lake. This permit would allow them to sell pull tabs at this location as a means of fundraising. Once the City approves the initial premise permit request no other action is required at the local level. Thereafter, premise permits are renewed annually through the State Gambling Control Board. Conclusion The Prior Lake Police Department has completed an investigation of this applicant and has found that there have been no complaints concerning this organization. FINANCIAL The Prior Lake Waterski Association has paid the $100.00 premise permit applica- IMPACT: tion fee. It is also possible that the City could be the recipient of future donations funded by this gambling operation. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Adopt the proposed premise permit resolution as part of the consent agenda. 2. Deny the proposed premise permit resolution. RECOMMENDED Alternative #1.
