SUBJECT: PREMISES PERMIT RENEWAL FOR
CHARITABLE GAMBLING AT BROADWAY
BAR AND PIZZA BY CONFIDENCE
LEARNING CENTER
Confidence Learning Center has requested renewal of its
Premises Permit. Renewal of the Permit will allow Confidence
Learning Center to continue operating charitable gambling
(pull-tabs) at Broadway Bar and Pizza. The Premises Permit
will be in effect for two years.
Attached is a summary of the percentage of expenditures spent
in the Elk River trade area by Confidence Learning Center since
1991. The City Ordinance requires charitable gambling
organizations to spend at least 75% of the yearly net profits
in the Elk River trade area. The Elk River trade area includes
the communities of Elk River, Rogers, Zimmerman, Otsego and
Ramsey.
e
When Confidence Learning Center first started operating
pull-tabs at Broadway Bar, there were some problems with the
organization not meeting the 75% trade area requirement. Staff
has worked closely with Confidence Learning Center staff and
with Mr. Hennig during the past two years. Confidence Learning
Center's method of contribution differs from the other gambling
organizations, in that they contribute large amounts of money
at the end of the year to meet the 75% requirement. The intent
of the 75% trade area is to keep the money in the community,
and I feel that Confidence Learning Center is meeting this
objective. Although the 75% contribution was a little short in
1992, the average amount contributed in the trade area for
1991, 1992, and 1993 was 78%.
RECOMMENDATION:
Because Confidence Learning Center has met the requirement of
spending 75% of the net charitable gambling profits from
Broadway Bar and Pizza, Staff recommends that the attached
resolution be adopted approving the Premises Permit.
