CR 97-126 Application Gambling For JayceesJune 25, 1997. Council Report 97 -126 APPLICATION FOR LAWFUL GAMBLING PREMISES PERMIT AT LINDEE'S FOR THE JAYCEES Staff recommends approval of the following motion: Move to adopt Resolution 97- 72, approving application for lawful gambling premises permit change of class at Lindee's Saloon and Eatery, located at 919 Cambridge Street, for the Hopkins Jaycees. Adoption of this motion allows the Jaycees to add bingo to the list of approved activities at this location. Ov rview The Jaycees requested that the premises permit for this location be changed from a class "B" permit to a class "A" permit. At the present time the Lawful Gambling License that is held by the Jaycees is a class "A" license but the premises permit for this location is a class "B ". The class "B" permit will allow them to play bingo at this location. Primary Issues to Consider • Addition of gambling activities Supporting Documents • Complete application available from the City Clerk • Resolution 97 -72 Council Report Page 2 Primary Issues to Consider This is not an expansion of sites. The Jaycees already conduct gambling at this site. This will allow them to add "Bar Bingo" to the list of activities available at this site. A number board that hangs on the wall randomly lights numbers. Customers pay $1.00 for a bingo sheet and mark the numbers as they Tight up. The pay is $20 for bingo. Alternatives 1. Approve Resolution 97 -72 allowing the addition of bingo to the premises permit for Lindee's Saloon and Eatery. 2. Do not allow the class change permitting bingo at this site. Staff recommends alternative one.
