CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: OCTOBER 12, 2015
AGENDA #: 5B
PREPARED BY: JANET RINGBERG, ACCOUNTING SPECIALIST
PRESENTED BY: FRANK BOYLES, CITY MANAGER
AGENDA ITEM: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE PRIOR LAKE-
SAVAGE OPTIMIST CLUB A PREMISE PERMIT FOR LAWFUL GAMBLING
DISCUSSION: Introduction
The purpose of this agenda report is to consider approval of a resolution approving
a lawful gambling premise permit for the Prior Lake-Savage Optimist Club. 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 law-
ful 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 commu-
nity by way of donations to cities, school districts, etc.
Current Circumstances
The Prior Lake-Savage Optimist Club is applying for a premise permit for lawful
gambling at Artisan Coffee Bistro, 16731 Highway 13 Suite 104, Prior Lake. This
permit would allow them to sell pull tabs at this location as a means of fundraising.
This is the first organization to request a premise permit for this location.
The Prior Lake-Savage Optimist Club has given the City of Prior Lake many dona-
tions over the years. Most notably they donate money for fire safety camp each
year and scholarships for the summer recreation program.
Once the City approves the initial premise permit request no other action is re-
quired 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 IM- The Prior Lake-Savage Optimist Club has paid the $100.00 premise permit appli-
PACT: cation 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.
