Filla reviewed the significant changes included in the proposed ordinance, which include: 1. Insertion of appropriate language to incorporate the "premises permit" concept. The city now has the authority to review and make recormnendation for approval of premises permits and the State Gambling Control Board will be solely responsible for licensing the organization requesting the premises permit. 2.

In=rporation of a provision which indicates that licensed organizations must expend 75 percent of their net income within the City of Arden Hills or in contiguous cities; per Council direction. 4. Language changes and additional definitions to make a more comprehensive dc=.rrnent; the definitions are the same as regulations adopted by the Minnesota Charitable Gambling Control Board. Filla advised council consider a date for insertion in Section 5-8, which will reduce the authorized number of licenses from 10 to 9. He stated the Gambling . Control Board did not provide information as to when current licenses in Arden Hills expire. Filla suggested March or April 1, 1991 as the expiration date, based on City records which indicate current licenses will not be scheduled for renewal until March 22, 1991. Mayor Sather questioned if Section 5. 13, the provision requiring licensed organization to expend 75 percent of their net in=ne within Arden Hills "Trade Area" may be too high. He recommended reducing the requirement to 50 percent.
