October 20, 2020 Council Report 2020-074
Resolution Approving Issuance of a Premise Permit
For Lawful Gambling to be Conducted by The Hopkins Raspberry Festival at Pub 819
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Adopt Resolution 2020-052, approving
issuance of a Premise Permit For Lawful Gambling to be Conducted by The Hopkins Raspberry
Festival at Pub 819 located at 819 Mainstreet.
Overview
The Hopkins Raspberry Festival has submitted an application for a gambling premises permit to
conduct lawful gambling at Pub 819 which authorized a lease agreement for use of their space
located at 819 Mainstreet.
The Hopkins Raspberry Festival will be conducting the following activities: Pull -Tabs (paper) with
dispensing device and Electronic Pull-Tabs.
Primary Issues to Consider
Should the City Council approve the resolution approving the issuance of the premises permit
for lawful gambling for the Hopkins Raspberry Festival at Pub 819?
The City Council has to approve a premises permit before the State Gambling Board will
approve it. Minnesota cities do not license lawful gambling. The State Gambling Board is the
licensing authority who regulates lawful gambling. Licenses issued by the State are perpetual
and valid unless suspended or revoked or terminated by the organization. The State conducts
the compliance reviews, site inspections, and civil investigations. The Minnesota Department of
Revenue collects state lawful gambling tax and conducts tax audits.
