<br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />Date: 1/8/2024 <br />Item No.: 7.a. <br />Department Approval City Manager Approval <br /> <br /> <br />Item Description: Consider request to amend City Code Chapter 304: Lawful Gambling <br />1 <br />2 Background <br />3 At the November 27, 2023, meeting, the City Council considered and discussed the request by the <br />4 Roseville Area Youth Hockey Association (RAYHA) to amend Chapter 304 Lawful Gambling of the City <br />5 Code (Attachment 1) to allow local non-profit organizations to have up to five separate locations within <br />6 city limits to conduct lawful gambling activities. Current City Code allows a non-profit to operate at up to <br />7 three locations and caps the overall number of lawful gambling permits to 12. After discussion, a <br />8 majority of the City Council felt comfortable in considering a simple ordinance to change the number of <br />9 locations one entity may have from 3 to 4. An ordinance making that change is included as Attachment <br />10 2. <br />11 <br />12 However, the City Council also indicated that they might be willing to consider increasing the number of <br />13 locations one entity may have as long as it did not exceed more than 50% of the lawful gambling permits <br />14 currently issued. Based on suggested language from the Mayor, the City Attorney drafted an ordinance <br />15 that does not allow issuance of an additional lawful gambling permit if the entity holds more than 50% of <br />16 the existing licenses. (See Attachment 3). In addition, the City Attorney took the opportunity to clean up <br />17 and update other language in Chapter 304 for clarity and readability. <br />18 <br />19 Staff has included both draft ordinances as part of this case for City Council review. Both ordinances <br />20 have been published on the City's website and either ordinance is eligible to be adopted on January 8, <br />21 2024. <br />22 <br />23 As a reminder, below is a listing of the current lawful gambling premises permit holders and their <br />24 locations: <br />25 <br />Charity Name Location Name Address <br />2100 Dale St <br />BDale Club BDale Club <br />Roseville Area Youth Hockey Lucky 13 2480 Fairview Ave <br />American Legion Post 542 Rosetown American Legion 700 W County Road C <br />Midway Speed Skating Club Roseville Bingo Hall 2525 Snelling Ave Ave <br />Roseville Area Youth Hockey Roseville Bingo Hall 2525 Snelling Ave Ave <br />VFW POST 7555 VFW POST 7555 1145 Woodhill Dr <br />Roseville Area Youth Hockey High Pines Brewing Co 2704 Snelling Ave N <br />MN Fastpitch Bent Brewstillery 1744 Terrace Dr <br />26 <br />27 <br />28 <br />29 <br />Page 1 of 2 <br />Qbhf!6!pg!413 <br /> <br />
