~ITEM 3.57~ <br /> <br />ity of <br /> <br />iver <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Mayor and City Council <br /> <br />Sandra Thackeray, City Clerk <br /> <br />April 6, 1998 <br /> <br />Premises Permit for Eagles Club <br /> <br />The Eagles have requested to renew its Premises Permit to allow pull tab <br />sales at the Eagles Club located at 824 Railroad Drive. The City's ordinance <br />requires that 75% of lawful expenditures be spent in the Elk River trade area <br />which consists of the cities of Elk River, Otsego, Ramsey, Rogers and <br />Zimmerman. <br /> <br />The Eagles have consistently met the 75% requirement from June 1995 <br />through June of 1997. If however, you take the entire year of 1997, there was <br />a shortage to the Elk River's trade area of about 16%. After speaking to the <br />Eagle's gambling manager, I was informed that the Eagles are committed to <br />a certain amount of money for Eagles charities. Due to the limited amount of <br />funds received in 1997, and the commitment to the national Eagles <br />organization, the Eagles were unable to meet the City's 75% requirement. <br /> <br />I believe it is the intent of the Eagles to meet the City's requirement of <br />spending 75% in the Elk River trade area. This can be proven by looking at <br />the period of June 95 - June 97 which shows 82.6% spent in the City's trade <br />area. <br /> <br />ACTION REQUIRED <br /> <br />Council motion approving the attached resolution authorizing premises <br />permit renewal for the Eagles. <br /> <br />\\elkriver\sys\shrdoc\council\eaglespp.doc <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
