Background/Discussion
The Elk River Youth Hockey Association (ERYHA) requested a premises permit for gambling at Furniture and
Things Community Event Center, 1000 School Street.
ERYHA holds permits for McCoy's Pub, Sammy's Pizza, and Buffalo Wild Wings. The city ordinance allows
applications for premises permits that are not eligible due to the limit on permits to be granted a waiver from
the City Council if, within 30 days from the date of submittal of the premises permit application to the city, no
other eligible organizations has applied to operate gambling activities at the premises applied for by the
ineligible organization.
Eligible gambling organizations were notified of the request by ERYHA and no other applications to operate a
premise permit at Furniture and Things Community Event Center were received within 30 days.
The Gambling Control Board requires the local unit of government where the premises are located to
approve the request by resolution before the applicant can submit their application to the Gambling Control
Board.
