Background and Rationale
body
On December 9, 2021, Ramsey County received an application from Centennial High School Football requesting a premises permit for Lucy’s Burgers, located at 1190 County Road J #700, White Bear Lake, Minnesota, 55127 that would allow the establishment to conduct lawful gambling using paper pull-tabs. The proceeds will support Centennial High School and youth football. Centennial High School serves over 2,000 students in an environment that promotes intellectual, emotional and social success in an ever-changing world.
By statute an organization can only conduct lawful gambling on premises it owns or leases, therefore Centennial High School is also submitting a lease for lawful gambling activity to be conducted on the premises of Lucy's Burgers in the Town of White Bear.
Since Lucy's Burgers operates in on property located in a township, Minnesota Statutes section 349.213, subd. 2, requires the Ramsey County Board to approve the application by resolution before the Minnesota Gambling Control Board will issue a premises permit and lease for lawful gambling activity on the premises. The Minnesota Gambling Control Board will review the application and if all statutory requirements related to lawful gambling are met, will issue the required premises permit and license(s). The Minnesota Gambling Control Board handles the initial investigation and ongoing monitoring and enforcement.
