COUNCIL BUSINESS/PUBLIC HEARING Case #1: Introduction and First Reading of an Ordinance Amending Chapter 7, Section 7.61 Entitled "Lawful Gambling" of the City Code of Ramsey, Minnesota Mayor Gilbertson closed the regular portion of the City Council meeting at 7:23 p.m. in order to conduct the public hearing. Public Hearine Presentation Finance Officer Hart stated that she, along with Councilmembers Beyer and Zimmerman, has been reviewing the lawful gambling ordinance and working on revisions. The objective of the revisions was to establish policies and procedures that made it easier for the City to regulate and the various non-profit organizations to comply and to establish a "regular" cash flow for the City. The major changes proposed are that the item "c" under the Conditions section, which imposed a limit on the number of locations any one organization could operate in the City of Ramsey. This was deleted, and a new "c" was added. The new "c" limits the maximum number of gambling devices (i.e.: pull tabs, tip boards, or paddlewheels) at any one location to two of any one device. The other proposed amendment is to the section entitled Use of lawful Gambling Net Profits. The amendment eliminates any direct reference to a particular percentage, but rather indicates that a percentage will be established by Council resolution. Taxes will no longer be allowed as deductions when determining net profits, nor will any net losses be carded forward at any time. She stated that these changes were reviewed with the Compliance Division of the Gambling Control Board and also by City Attorney Goodrich. Citizen Input None Adjournment Motion by Councilmember Peterson and seconded by Councilmember Hardin to close the public hearing. City Council/May 10, 1994 Page 5 of 9
