Introduction to the Board
The statute creating the Charitable Gambling Control Board was
passed in the 1984 session of the Legislature. On March 1, 1985,
the state was to begin licensing organizations to conduct lawful
gambling and distributors to sell, offer for sale, cr furnish
gambling equipment.
The Board is governed by thirteen (13) members, eleven (11) of
which are appointed by the Governor on staggered three-year terms.
The Attorney General and t:he Commissioner of Public Safety or their
designees tire each members.
The Board is staffed by fifteen (15) people. The pos i tions
are:
Executive Secretary
Chief Auditor Superviso~
Office Services Supervisor III
Senior Auditors - 2
Intermediate Auditors - 5
Executive I
Clerk Typist III - 2
Clerk 'l'ypist II
Dat~F.ntry Operator
All but the Executive Secretary are classified.
II. Introduction to the Law
The section of Chapter 349 which applies to the Board specifies
three purposes:
- to regulate legal forms of gambling to prevent their
co~~ercialization
- to insure the integrity of operations
- to provide for the use of net profits only for lawful
purposes.
Certain sections of Chapter 349 identify the basics of the
regulatory role of the Board and staff:
_ Only organizations which meet certain conditions may be
licensed
_ Profits from lawful gambling may be spent only for allowable
eX-.Eenses and lawful purpose expend~ tures.

CHARITABLE GAMBLING ORGANIZATIONS - SURVEY OF FEES
SUBJECT:
I checked with the State Charitable Gambling Control Board first and they
stated a City cannot charge for a license, but can charge a fee for police
regulation, etc. (They stated this is 3% of profits, but I can1t find this
stated in the state statutes.) Also, this fee would cover an investigation
charge. (See State Stat. 349.16, subd. 4 - Stillwater could charge up to $100
for an investigation fee which the Board said would be included in the 3%).
Information received from following cities: (Some of these cities are sending
copies of the resolution or ordinance governing charitable gambling
operations in their area).
Lake Elmo - Does not charge fees.
Arden Hills - Has a policy which requires a charitable organi~ation to donate
some of their proceeds (up to 10%) to benefit the community which would be
used for a parks fund, Fire Dept. and Police. It can't be used for on-going
operations.
Little Canada - The City has an agreement with Charitable gambling groups to
give some proceeds back to the City for items such as the Park fund. They
contribute 10% of their gross income for this purpose and received a $75,000
check last month from one organization.
No. St. Paul - This area is under the jurisdiction of the Police Dept. The
three organizations operating there are the American Legion, Lions, and VFW.
They do not operate in any bars because of possible collusion between the bar
owner and organization, although the Lions do meet in the basement of Weber's
Supper Club. These three groups do contribute heavily to the City for new
ambulances, fire trucks, support of school safety patrol, crime prevention,
bullet proof vests for officers, etc. Any non-profit charitable group wishing
to run a gambling operation must hold business meetings once a month in the
City of No. St. Paul.
White Bear Lake - They have a firm ordinance regulating this and request a
$200 application fee for the organization to operate in the City. They don1t
do anything with Veterans Clubs because they are regulated by the State. They
request 2% of gross receipts less costs incurred for prizes which is used for
community benefit such as a counseling center. They also limit the number of
locations each organization can have to two. The City can't levy these fees,
but consider it a donation. They also require a quarterly report from the
organ i zat ions.
.
.
.
Oak Park Heights - Received donations from the VFW to buy some equipment for
the Police Dept. and Parks Dept. They don1t charge fees.
Oakdale - They have no administrative fees. Organizations donate 10% of net
income after their bills are paid. The funds are used for youth group~~ and
Boy Scouts, etc.

Dedication

CRYSTAL CASE SETS
PROCEDURAL RULES
by Eric Wieffering
DeveJopers who wd.nt to protest
right-d-way dedicatJOIlS and Other
cicy requests should me their lawsuits belOre,
insread of after, final plat approval. according
lO a recenl Hennepin County court decision.
The case. which involved the Cily of
Crystal and the owners of the Crystal Green
subdivision, was the second major land
dedication suit decided in Hennepin County
in the pas! year, but anorneys are divided as
to its significance.
David Selle'llren, a land. use. aaomey not
involved in the case, says the ruling broke no
new legal ground. "II caDle as no surprise to
me," he says. "It's the old economic duress
argument, and !he court generally doesn'l pay
much au.:ntion to that argument:'
BUI Todd Rapp, an anorney who tried and
IOUn the suil between developer Robert E.
MiddletnistJr. and !he city of Plymouth. says
\he Crystal decision rolls back some of the
galn!'o of ltk: Middlemisl victory.
n", Midd1emisl case. decided last year, in-
\'Olved a land dedication requirement for a
counlY rood in Plymouth. In that case, Mid-
dlemist filed suil belOre receiving final plat
approval. The cicy did granl pial approval,
however, with the understanding that !he case
would be allowed 10 proceed. A Hennepin
Councy coon later ruled that the land dedica-
tioa.requirement 'NaS6CeSSive and eventual-
Iyaw.u-ded Middlemist more than Sloo,ooo
tor the land and legal fees.
Rapp says the Crystal Green decision "in-
sulateS the municipal icy from the effects of
M iddlemisl. It means there will be no cbeck
anymore on whether the municipality is be-
ing reasonable or not."
Crystal Green is a 49-101 subdivision a1the
southeasl corner of Highway 169 and
Wdshire BouIewnl in Crystal. When plans
were Ii"" proposed in early 1984, the cicy of
Crystal asked the Crystal Green panner.;/tip
to dedicate 1.79 of the 15.6 acres for a p<lliSi-
ble frontage rood along Highway 169.
The develope.... refused and instead offered
to reserve the land for sale to the cicy at a later
Oate. The city refused 10 consider the
preliminary plat as a resull.
Eventually, the pannership relented, said
it would dedicau: the land under protest, iii.
<d its fmal plallan. 7, 1985 and fired a lawsuit

DEVELOPER FACES FINANCIAL, LEGAL.....
by Murray Wolf
Things appear to be unra..,ling for
R. ScOll Steindorff.
"It" no secrel I'm having problems;' the
29'year-<>ld developer says. Most of the pro-
blems cenleT on his ~ip projecl, the pr0-
posed Woodland Lakes retail and hOlel
development in Stillwater.
Woodland Lake's anchor lenanl has
cancelled its lease. \he city says Steindorffs
Robert ScOll Coso Inc. is in delilUlt on illi
development contracl, and unpaid credilors
have filed mechanic's liens against the proper-
ty lOla/ing almosl SI million.
"~'lC stilIuying Ul put it together;' SlI:in-
dorff insisted during a II:lephone inu:",iew
last week from his ftrm's Scottsdale, Ariz.,
headquarters. "We're still working on it."
Bul Steindorffs troubles don't end with
'MlodIand Lakes. He is or has been involved
in more. than a dozen civil coun c~in
Washington and Hennepin counties, in.
eluding at Iea>t twO suits inllOlving former
employees who say they weren'l paid as
promised.
Cash /low problems have also forced $tein-
dorfflO shelve plans, announced in April,to
launch a commercial real C5laIC brokerage
and property management lirm based in a
6.000 square fool office on !be 18Ih lloor 0{

according to Donald Bromen. owner of

Jackson-Scon & Associates Inc. can bring
Herberger's back into the fold.
Hemerger's officials remain low-key. "We
don'l have any defmite plans," Ross say.. "We

Oak Park Developmenl Co. Inc.. owner of
St. Croix Mall. will probably proceed wilh
the 100.000 square 1'001 expansion even if it
