AGENDA ITEM: Resolution Approving Prior Lake-Savage Optimist Club Premise
Gambling Permit
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve a resolution authorizing the Prior Lake-Savage Optimist Club a gambling premise permit
to conduct lawful gambling at Chula’s Latin-Mexican Restaurant, 4636 Colorado Street SE Prior
Lake, MN.
BACKGROUND:
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. As a general rule, proceeds from
these gambling operations are often returned to the community by way of donations to cities,
school districts, etc. The City must pass a resolution approving a gambling premise permit
request.
The Prior Lake-Savage Optimist Club is applying for a premise permit for lawful gambling at
Chula's Mexican-Latin Restaurant, 4636 Colorado Street SE, Prior Lake. This permit would allow
them to offer pull-tabs, tipboards, and paddlewheels at this location as a means of fundraising.
The funds raised through this gambling activity will benefit local sports organizations.
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.
The Prior Lake Police Department has completed an investigation of this applicant and has found
no complaints or issues concerning this organization.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The Prior Lake- Savage Optimist Club has paid the $100.00 premise gambling permit application
fee.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Motion and second as part of the consent agenda to approve a premise gambling permit
for the Prior Lake-Savage Optmist Club.
2. Motion and second to remove this item from the consent agenda for additional
discussion.
