DISCUSSION: Introduction
The purpose of this agenda report is to consider approval of a resolution approving
off-site gambling for the Prior Lake-Savage Optimist Club. Under state statute the
City has the right to approve or deny lawful gambling permits.
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
Prior Lake-Savage Optimist Club currently holds a premise permit for lawful gam-
bling at the Artisan Coffee Bistro, 16731 Highway 13 South. State statute requires
local governments to pass a resolution approving off-site gambling for premise
permit holders.
Current Circumstances

off-site gambling (pull-tabs) at Lakefront Park on Thursday, August 2, 2018, Fri-
day, August 3, 2018, and Saturday, August 4, 2018 as part of the Prior Lake Lake-
front Days celebration. State statute allows premise permit holders to hold no
more than twelve off-site events each calendar year not to exceed a total of thirty-
six days. This is the first off-site permit the Optimist Club has applied for this year.
