Deputy Clerk Iago reported the state Gaming Board advises the premise pennits are I issued for a two year time period, from date of awrova1 by the state. Iago reported the City has no recourse to rescind an application for premise pennits once the pennit is issued by the state; it would be more appropriate to delay the approval of the pennit until the applicant is in conpliance with the ordinance, rather than attempt to rescind the pennit after issuance.
