Hanson <br />The Church of St. Odilia is requesting an Exempt Gambling Permit for their Men's Club Benefit <br />to be held on February 9, 2015 at The Little Venetian. The Exempt Gambling Permit requested <br />would cover bingo and a raffle. St. Odilia's has previously held this fund-raising dinner at <br />Kozlak's, but given this venue no longer exists is moving the event to The Little Venetian for <br />2015. <br />It should be noted that the City's Lawful Gambling Ordinance does provide the Council the <br />ability to act on Exempt Gambling Permits without compliance with the provisions of this <br />Ordinance that apply to organizations that operate pull -tab sites or conduct bingo in the City on a <br />regular basis. The City recently approved an Exempt Gambling Permit for Rebuilding Together <br />Twin Cities for a fund-raising raffle that they held at Joe's Sporting Goods. <br />Staff is recommending approval of the Exempt Gambling Permit for The Church of St. Odilia <br />pending receipt of a satisfactory sheriff's background check on Father Phillip Rask. <br />1 <br />
