Second Reading Ordinances
1. Council Bill/General Ordinance 3014-2020
An Ordinance amending Chapter 5, “AMUSEMENTS,” of the Moline Code of Ordinances, Section 5-1101, “LICENSE REQUIRED,” subsection (c), by enacting one new subsection (1), “Exception to limit requirements of subsection (c).”
Explanation: Section 5-1101 of the Moline Code of Ordinances defines a “Licensed Establishment,” in part, as any licensed retail establishment where alcoholic liquor is drawn, poured, mixed, or otherwise served for consumption on the premises; further, the classes of City of Moline liquor licenses that are classified as Licensed Establishments and that are eligible for a video gaming terminal license are Class A, AA, B, D and K. In November 2017, the City Council adopted General Ordinance No. 3043-2017 to limit the number of such Licensed Establishments due to an increasing number of requests for the establishments and various concerns expressed by the City’s residents as to the detriments of gambling. General Ordinance No. 3043-2017 enacted, and General Ordinance No. 3016-2019 amended, Section 5-1101(c) to limit the number of Licensed Establishments by providing that no more than 30 licenses shall be in existence at any time and no new licenses would be issued until the number of Licensed Establishments falls below 30.
In furtherance of the City Council’s goal to maintain a limited number of Licensed Establishments within the City and given the barring of license transfer from one person to another and from one premises to another, the City Council wishes to amend Section 5-1101(c) to allow a Class K Video Gaming Establishment liquor license holder to surrender its liquor license and companion video gaming terminal license in order to acquire a different Licensed Establishment that holds an existing Class A Restaurant, Class AA Restaurant-Beer & Wine Only, or Class B Tavern liquor license. The holder of the Class K Video Gaming Establishment liquor license and the video gaming terminal license must agree to surrender said licenses to the City as a condition of filing an application with the State of Illinois for a video gaming license at the licensee’s new Class A, Class AA or Class B Licensed Establishment. Upon approval by the State of Illinois of a new video gaming license at the newly- acquired Class A, Class AA or Class B Licensed Establishment, the licensee must: 1) physically surrender said Class K liquor license and companion video gaming terminal license to the City in exchange for the new City of Moline video gaming terminal license; and 2) cease all operations at the formerly Licensed Establishment prior to operating video gaming terminals within the newly-acquired Class A, Class AA or Class B Licensed Establishment. This amendment will apply only to the types and classes of licenses and establishments referenced herein. The attachment to this ordinance is a redline version of the proposed text amendment. Additional documentation attached.

Resolutions
2. Council Bill/Resolution 1068-2020
A Resolution declaring City-owned property at 2307 6th Avenue, Moline, Illinois, previously acquired by the City of Moline as a residential property, to be surplus; and authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute and attest to an Agreement for Transfer of Real Estate and do all things necessary to convey the City-owned property at 2307 6th Avenue to Moline Community Development Corporation, an Illinois Not-For-Profit Corporation.
Explanation: As a result of City Council goal setting, the Moline Community Development Corporation (MCDC) was created in 2008. The City and MCDC partner with each other to provide increased opportunities for quality housing for low to moderate income families and to foster neighborhood improvement. The City recently acquired the property at 2307 6th Avenue prior to tax sale. To provide momentum to MCDC’s efforts, MCDC is interested in rehabilitating the home on the lot and selling it to a qualified family. In exercise of the City’s home rule powers, the City can donate the Property to MCDC for that purpose. The rehabilitation and sale of the home at this location will restore the blighted property and increase the property tax base in the future. Additional documentation attached.
Fiscal Impact: Lower property maintenance expenses and increase the property tax base in the future
Public Notice/Recording: Legal Division will record the Quit Claim Deed
