Filla reviewed the significant changes included in the prop:lSed ordinance, which include: 1. Insertion of appropriate language to incorporate the "premises permit" concept. 'Ihe City flCM has the authority to review am make recammendation for approval of premises permits and the state Gambling COntrol Board will be solely responsible for licensing the organization requesting the premises pemit. 2. Increase the authorized number of licenses from 9 to 10 and a provision which reduces the number from 10 to 9 on a future date; the date will have to be inserted . 3. Incorporation 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 =nprehensive document; 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 infornation as to when cu=ent 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 income within Arden Hills "Trade Area" may be too high. He recommended reducing the requirement to 50 percent.
