THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAINT PAUL DOES ORDAIN: Section 1 Statemaent of Pur ose. Ordinance No . 17676 (C .F. 89-1082) , effective cto er , , was enacted to facilitate the trans- ition of clubs holding city-issued private club licenses from establishments which could only allow members to display and consume alcoholic beverages on the club premises , to establish- ments which could apply for and receive on=sale intoxicating liquor licenses allowing sales to members and bona fide guests of inembers only. An ordinance to exempt those clubs from certain Charter provisions relating to the numbers of licenses in liquor patrol limits ha� been introduced and will be considered by the Charter Commission and the City Council . All such private clubs , when operating as private clubs , were entitled to carry on charitable gambling under former Chapter 404 of the Legislative Code. The Council never intended, in passing Ordinance No . 17676 , to prohibit such private clubs from carrying on charitable gambling activities in their own premises . However, when such clubs will become licensed under Chapter 409 of the Legislative Code, they will arguably fall under the definition of "large organizations" in Section 409 . 21(c) , with the practical result that they will be unable to conduct charitable gambling on their COUNCIL MEMBERS Yeas Nays Requested by Department of: Dimond �� [n Favor coswitz Rettman s�ne�neo Against By Sonnen Wilson Form Approved by City Attorney Adopted by Council: Date � Certified Passed by Council Secretary BY By Approved by Mayor: Date Approved by Mayor for Submission to Council By BY - _ � � . . . . .� . � � ��0 - 1�.3 � J7�/3 -2- premises . This ordinance is intended solely to rectify that un- anticipated result, and exempts private clubs from the "large organization" definition so long as they have an intoxicating liquor license and so long as the charitable gambling is carried out solely on their licensed premises . All other requirements of Chapter 409 relating to gambling in licensed establishments will apply to such clubs and compliance will be enforced. Section 2 Section 409. 21 (c) of the Saint Paul Legislative Code is hereby amended by adding a new subsection (4) at the end thereof to read as follows : "(4) The term "large organization" for the purpose of section 409. 21(c) shall not include a club as defined in section 409. 02 of this chapter where such club has an on-sale intoxicating liquor license issued under this chapter and the only charitable gambling carried out on the licensed premises is operated hy the club itself in conformity with applicable state and municipal licenses and regu- lations thereunder.

It is ready to go if you have no changes, but if there is anything you would like added or changed, let me know. I put in a r�a�tively long statement of purpose, hoping that will save both of us from having to make interminable explanations of what it does. It's actually just a sort of housekeeping measure. Enc.
