CC Regular Session Meeting Date: 04/09/2018 By: Diana Lund, Finance Information 4. 7. Title Adopt Resolution # 18-075 Approving Premise Permit for Anoka Ramsey Athletic Association at The Links of Northfork Purpose/Background: Staff recently received the attached application for a premise permit for the Anoka Ramsey Athletic Association. Their organization is asking for a premise permit for lawful gambling (pull tabs, bar bingo and paddlewheel) at The Links of Northfork. If the City Council is not opposed to this application, they have requested a waiver of the 60-day notice provision. Anoka Ramsey Athletic Association is located in Ramsey which meets the City's Lawful Gambling Ordinance that states that the physical site for the Organization's place of doing business shall be located within the corporate limits of either the City of Ramsey or the City of Anoka and the Organization's place of doing business had been located in either the City of Ramsey or City of Anoka for at least two years immediately preceding the Premise Permit application. The Anoka Ramsey Athletic Association does not currently hold any other premise permits in the City, nor are there currently any other premise permit holders located within The Links of Northfork establishment. The City's gambling ordinance allows for a maximum number of gambling devices at any one location in the City to a limit of two of any one type of device. The Anoka Ramsey Athletic Association will be required to submit a monthly contribution to the City equal to 5% of their net profits that is deposited into the City's Lawful Gambling Fund. Notification: A copy of the Premise Permit Application and Lease for Lawful Gambling Activity that will be sent to the Gambling Control Board, if approved, is attached. Observations/Alternatives: A background check of the Anoka Ramsey Athletic Association's Gambling Manager, Mr. Josh Jungling, was performed by Chief Katers. Chief Katers reported no findings. Recommendation: Staff recommends Council approval of the premise permit for the Anoka Ramsey Athletic Association at The Links of Northfork. Action: Motion to recommend Council adopt Resolution #18-075 Approving the Anoka Ramsey Athletic Association for a premise permit for lawful gambling at The Links of Northfork.
