Title Adopt Resolution #21-226 Approving Premise Permit for Anoka Area Hockey Association at Superbowl in Ramsey. Purpose/Background: Staff recently received the attached application for a premise permit for the Anoka Area Hockey Association. Their organization is asking for a premise permit for lawful gambling (pull tabs and bar bingo) at Superbowl.

The Anoka Area Hockey Association does not currently hold any other premise permits for gambling in Ramsey. They had previously held a premise permit at Superbowl up until 2003. There is currently no other premise permit holder operating within Superbowl. 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 Area Hockey 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.
