SILVER <br /> <br />September 21,1989 <br /> <br />Gary Berger <br />City Administrator <br />City of Arden Hills <br />1450 West Highway 96 <br />Arden Hills, MN 55112 <br /> <br />Re: Local Gambling Regulations <br />Our File No. 10163/891000 <br /> <br />Gary: <br /> <br />Minnesota Statutes Chapter 349 contains provisions which <br />regulate charitable gambling within the State of Minnesota. <br />Unless a local unit of government adopts more restrictive <br />regulations, the State Gambling Regulations apply. When the City <br />of Arden Hills adopted Resolution 87-67, it required itself to be <br />more restrictive than State law becaus.e only nine (9) gambling <br />licenses can be issued within the City. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />I have reviewed a draft of proposed Arden Hills Ordinance <br />249 relating to the regulation of. lawful gambling within the <br />City. The ordinance was presented for council review in 1987 but <br />was not adopted. Since then, there have been additional changes <br />to the State Regulations which may impact the manner in which the <br />City of Arden Hills wishes to regulate gambling. I am prepared <br />to revise the proposed ordinance but need ~ome additional imput <br />from you and the City Council in. the following areas: <br /> <br />1. The original ordinance would have eliminated a1"l <br />gambling after the year 1993. Does the City want to <br />fOllO\ij:his scheduleL ____ <br /> <br />2. The original ordinance allowed the City to charge an <br />investigation fee of SlOO. 00. Does the City want to <br />include this provision in its regulations. <br /> <br />3. Current law permits the City to impose a local gambling <br />tax which may not exceed 3 percent of an amount equal <br />to the licensed organization's gross receipts less <br />prizes actually paid out by the organization. The <br />proceeds of the local gambling tax must be used to <br />defray the cost of regulating lawful gambling within <br /> <br />. <br />
