Title
APPROVE A PREMISES PERMIT FOR CHARITABLE GAMBLING FOR SPRING LAKE PARK DISTRICT 16 YOUTH HOCKEY, AT FOGERTY ARENA THE ICE HOUSE INC. DBA GABE'S RINKSIDE BAR AND GRILL, 9250 LINCOLN STREET NE, BLAINE.
Background
This provides for the legal operation of charitable gambling at this location.
Stacy Klepsa, President for Spring Lake Park District 16 Youth Hockey, 9250 Lincoln Street NE, has submitted an application for a new premises permit to allow charitable gambling be conducted at Fogerty Arena the Ice House Inc., dba Gabe's Rinkside Bar and Grill, 9250 Lincoln Street NE. This is Spring Lake Park Youth Hockey's second premise permit. Their first location is J. J. Murphy's. They held a premises permit at Victory Pizzeria, but that business closed on October 23, 2012.
The Gambling Control Board may not issue a new premises permit for charitable gambling within a city unless a sponsoring organization obtains approval through a resolution from the City Council. A charitable gambling applicant has sixty (60) days from the date of their application to present such a resolution to the Gambling Control Board or otherwise forfeit their gambling activities.
The $250 investigation fee has been deposited with the City and the criteria set forth in Ordinance No. 88-1108 (regulating lawful gambling) has been met. An investigation has been conducted by the Blaine Police Department on the gambling activity of Spring Lake Park District 16 Youth Hockey and did not find any issues that would disqualify them from being approved.
