Consent # 9 <br />APPLICATION FOR LAWFUL GAMBLING PREMISE PERMIT SUBMITTED <br />BY ANOKA AREA ICE ARENA <br />By: Diana Lund, Finance Officer <br />Background: <br />Staff recently received the attached application for a premise permit for the Anoka Area <br />Ice Arena. Their organization is asking for a premise permit for lawful gambling (pull <br />tabs) at Wyatt Earp's (former Diamonds establishment). If the City Council is not <br />opposed to this application, they have requested a waiver of the 30 -day notice provision. <br />Anoka Area Ice Arena is located in Anoka, and was originally grandfathered in per the <br />Lawful Gambling Ordinance amended on June 26, 2007, which stated that the physical <br />site for the organization headquarters or the registered business office of the organization <br />is located within the City of Ramsey.. This ordinance was amended in September, 2008, <br />to state that the physical site for the Organization's place of doing business shall be <br />located within the corporate limits of either the City of Ramsey or the City of Anoka and <br />the Organization's place of doing business had been located in either the City of Ramsey <br />or City of Anoka for at least two years immediately preceding the Premise Permit <br />application. Anoka Area Ice Arena would fall under this amendment, as the grandfather <br />clause would not be applicable to the Wyatt Earp establishment as Anoka Area Ice Arena <br />had not previously held a premise permit at this location (when it was formally <br />Diamonds). The Anoka Area Ice Arena holds a current premise permit at the Penalty <br />Box (formerly Jacobs Tavern). <br />The Anoka Area Ice Arena have been current on the submittal of their monthly reports <br />and their required five percent contributions of its net profits to the City. <br />Funding Source: <br />None Required <br />Staff Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends Council approval of the premise permit for the Anoka Area Ice Arena <br />at Wyatt Earp's. <br />Council Action: <br />Motion to recommend Council adopt Resolution #09- 03 -XXX Approving the Anoka <br />Area Ice Arena for a premise permit for lawful gambling at Wyatt Earp's. <br />Reviewed By: <br />r <br />City Administrator: <br />MOM <br />
