Honorable President
and Members of the City Council,
The attached Resolution expresses the Omaha City Council's approval of a satellite keno location
to be operated by Omaha First Corporation, at 6223 Ames Avenue. This location is a business
currently operated by James R. Smith, incorporated as Global Security Specialists, Inc., doing
business under the name "The Click."
At this location the keno business will be conducted as an ancillary activity to the existing bar
business. Keno bets will be received and paid at the location but the actual number selection will
continue to be performed at the keno games operated at Bourbon Street Lounge. Additional
information about the location and Omaha First's plans are included within the application submitted
to the City.
The Planning Director has advised that this location does not meet the off-street parking
requirements which would be applied to a new business offering keno. However,the keno criteria
only require keno satellite locations to provide the off-street parking required by the Zoning Code.
Thus, they do not require an existing business with non-complying off-street parking to provide
additional parking.
Nevertheless, this keno criterion is just a standard used to apply the direction in the operator
contracts that locations must provide "sufficient parking to accommodate members of the general
public who may wish to come to the location to observe or play the game of keno or engage in any
other activity conducted on the premises." This is the standard you should apply to this location,
regardless of the Zoning Code's requirements.
A liquor license is presently issued to this location.
Respectfully submitted,
