Commission recognizes Resolution Center so it may apply for state charitable-gaming license
Summary
The commission adopted a local resolution recognizing the Resolution Center (a 501(c)(3)) to support the organization's state charitable-gaming license application; the motion carried on roll call.
The Mount Clemens City Commission voted on Nov. 4 to adopt a local-governing-body resolution recognizing the Resolution Center as a nonprofit organization so it can apply to the State of Michigan for a charitable-gaming license.
City staff noted the Resolution Center, in operation in Mount Clemens since 1993, provides facilitative mediation services to businesses and residents of Mount Clemens and St. Clair County. Mr. Craig Papus, identified in the transcript as the executive director, was noted as requesting the recognition to satisfy the state's application requirement that the local governmental subdivision recognize the organization in its community.
A roll-call vote recorded unanimous approval. The Resolution Center is listed in the transcript as recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(3). The commission’s action simply acknowledges that local recognition; any state-level license remains subject to the State of Michigan’s application process.
Next steps: The Resolution Center will proceed with its state application for a charitable-gaming license; approval, rules and any conditions will be determined by state regulators.
