Mr. <br />Fritsinger pointed out that this corresponds to the 9:00 p.m. City curfew, which extends to 15 and <br />16 year olds. Mr. Fritsinger noted that there is currently a court case pending related to tl1is <br />industry trying to put the cities on the spot as to the fees they charge and what the purpose of the <br />fees are. The outcomc of this case may cffect how this section of the Code lays out. <br />Councilmember Malone noted that Arden Hills had once been a resort community and tl1is <br />section of the Code may be related to boardwalk activities. <br /> <br />Councilmember Larson noted that on page 3-33, subdivision 8 states "Ifthc provisions oftl1e <br />Minnesota Lawful Gambling Act and this Section are inconsistent, the morc restrictive <br />provisions shall apply."
