<br />MEMO <br /> <br />DATE March 24,2000 <br /> <br />TO Honorable Mayor and Council <br /> <br />FROM: Jim March <br /> <br />RE : Charitable Gambling License - Spring Lake Park Lion's <br /> <br />,........................................................................... <br /> <br />Included in your packet is an application from the Spring Lake Park Lion's to operate <br />charitable gambling at Kelly's Comer. The MS Society is not renewing their lease with <br />Kelly's Comer. <br /> <br />The Spring Lake Park Lion's Club currently operates four other gambling sites. The club <br />has two full-time and three part-time employees to manage the gambling operation. Last <br />year, the club donated over $470,000 to various organizations. <br /> <br />By City ordinance, the Spring Lake Park Lion's will have to donate 50% of their profits <br />to directly benefit the residents ofCenterville. The Centerville Lion's will be working in <br />partnership with the Spring Lake Park Lion's in identifYing community park <br />improvement projects that would benefit the City. The Lion's plan to operate pull tabs, a <br />paddle wheel, meat raffies and other large item raffies. I believe this change in gambling <br />operators will be a great benefit to our community. <br /> <br />I called the City Administrator (Barb Nelson) in Spring Lake Park to investigate whether <br />the Lion's were donating their profits to worthy community projects, whether there had <br />been any problems with the applicants license and to find out if the City was receiving <br />their monthly reports in a timely fashion. Ms. Nelson indicated that that the organization <br />was great and that they have had no problems. The City receives timely reports and the <br />organization has been extremely generous toward community improvement projects. <br />
