City of Gem Lake Planning Commission Meeting Minutes May 14, 2024 2 | Page Ordinance No. 60 and 117 Charitable Gambling Discussion City Planner Evan Monson presented the Commission with a draft version of Ordinance No. 60 Charitable Gambling that included the incorporation of Ordinance No. 117 Increase of Charitable Giving. Ordinance No. 60 was adopted in 1991. The 2010 amendment, Ordinance No. 117, has been incorporated into Ordinance No. 60 and has been reformatted to be consistent with other city ordinances. The amendments are shown in the proposed Ordinance. This ordinance regulates the operation and sale of gambling devices in on-sale liquor establishments. The Commission discussed the suggested ordinance revisions / incorporations and would like to forward the document along to the City Council for approval based on the edits made by the City Planner. Commissioner Wippich introduced a motion, seconded by Commissioner Pratt. Voice vote taken, all in favor, motion carried. Fee Schedule Suggested Changes Acting City Clerk Melissa Lawrence summarized to the Commission the reason for fee schedule updates. While at the time this was added to the agenda it was to incorporate fees listed within the ordinances discussed during the meeting, but Mrs. Lawrence spoke to Ms. Sycks prior to the meeting earlier in the day about the suggested changes and provided her with an updated fee schedule. The changes suggested by TKDA staff regarding fees was no longer relevant as the City looks to the City of White Bear Lake for administrative offenses pertaining to liquor and tobacco as they are the ones to issue the penalties and conduct the compliance checks. The one suggested change by TKDA staff that was kept was the change to the investigation fee for a new on-sale liquor license, which was changed to actual cost. All ordinances discussed earlier will include a reference to the most recent fee schedule for fees. The Commission discussed the suggested fee schedule updates and would like to forward the document along to the City Council for approval based on the edits made by the City Planner. Commissioner Pratt introduced a motion, seconded by Commissioner Wippich. Voice vote taken, all in favor, motion carried.
