Explanation: The City adopted Council Bill/General Ordinance No. 3051-2018 in December 2018 to establish restrictions for advertising by and for all establishments that possess a City of Moline Class K Video Gaming Establishment liquor license. The intent of the ordinance was to help counter the negative effects of gambling by limiting the advertising of such establishments and thereby lessen enticement to the establishments while still
allowing them the opportunity to continue their businesses. This proposed ordinance will further restrict the type of video gaming advertising/signage allowed and impose the restrictions to all Licensed Establishments, as defined in Chapter 5, that are eligible for video gaming; specifically, those that possess a valid City of Moline Class A, AA, B, D or K liquor license, and that meet the remaining requirements of Chapter 5, Article I. (The referenced liquor license classes are: A and AA – Restaurant, B – Tavern, D – Clubs/Fraternal or Veterans Organization, and K – Video Gaming Establishment.)
The video gaming advertising restrictions are as written in Sec. 5-1105 of the proposed redline ordinance attached; they include restrictions on off-premises advertising, temporary signs, freestanding banners, building banners and window signs. Additional changes to Article I have been made for clarification and consistency of definitions and terms, and exception provisions have been added to the footnotes of Table 3-2105.1 of the Advertising and Signs Code to correspond with the proposed changes to Article I.

Explanation: A Plat of Condominium for the Element Hotel / Q Multi-Modal Station establishes Condo Unit #1 for the Moline Promenade Investors, LLC (MPI) privately-owned hotel space, Condo Unit #2 for the City of Moline’s publicly owned space, and Common Areas shared by both parties. The initial Plat of Condominium identifies that 93% of the non-Common Area interior building space is owned by Condo Unit #1 and 7% is owned by Condo Unit #2. This 93/7 ratio was used to split the cost of maintaining the Common Areas.
MPI and the City subsequently agreed to revise the Plat of Condominium to change the Port Cochere from Common Area to Condo Unit #1 and the City-owned elevator, stairwell, and HVAC equipment from Condo Unit #2 to Common Area. These changes revise the ownership percentages to 95% and 5%. Both parties agree that future Common Area maintenance costs will be split at this new 95/5 ratio. Further, maintenance of the public restrooms in Condo Unit #2 shall be performed by MPI and split 95/5. Additionally, MPI may enter into maintenance agreements for the City’s elevator and HVAC equipment and the cost of such agreements shall be split 95/5. Additional documentation attached.
