AGENDA #: 5B
PREPARED BY: JANET RINGBERG, ACCOUNTING SPECIALIST
PRESENTED BY: FRANK BOYLES, CITY MANAGER
AGENDA ITEM: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION APPROVING NORTHSTAR
SEARCH & RESCUE 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 Northstar Search & Rescue. 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
Northstar Search & Rescue is applying for a premise permit for lawful gambling at
The Wilds Golf Club, 3151 Wilds Parkway NW , Prior Lake. This permit would al-
low 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.
Northstar Search & Rescue is a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting law
enforcement agencies in the search and rescue of lost and missing persons using
trained K-9 units. They assist agencies across the region.
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.
