Correction to Video Gaming Terminal Fees

Posted by

Assistant Editor Jerry Lindsey was notified, on Thursday, April 14, 2022, of an error in his City Council report from Monday, March 28. Below is the corrected portion.

The March 28, 2022, meeting of the Morrison City Council approved an Ordinance that revised the fee for all gaming terminals within the City limits. The following wording defines the change that becomes effective on Sunday, May 1, 2022.

Editor’s note: This is the quoted passage from the Minutes of Monday, March 28, as they appeared in the Aldermen’s Board packet, prior to the Council meeting on Monday, April 11.

“Alderman Bruckner moved to approve Ordinance 22-02 Amending Chapter 6 by the Adoption of a New Annual Fee for Video Gaming Terminals – raising gaming terminal fee from $25/each to $250/each and was seconded by Alderman West. After Council discussion and clarification by City Treasurer Jones, Alderman Tervelt amended the ordinance for a step-up fee of $150/each in the first year and $250/each thereafter. On a roll call vote of 7 ayes (Kruise, Mahaffey, Zuidema, Welding, Tervelt, West, and Bruckner), and 1 nay (Deets), and 0 absent, the motion carried.”
