Hanson <br />St. Odilia's has requested that the City waive its $35 fee for the processing of its request for an <br />Exempt Gambling Permit for a fund-raiser dinner that they are holding at The Little Venetian in <br />February. <br />This $35 fee was established to cover the costs of processing gambling permit requests for <br />organizations that are not licensed to conduct charitable gambling within Little Canada. <br />Canadian Days Committee, Little Canada Recreation Association, and Little Canada Fire <br />Department do hold gambling licenses within the City, and these organizations pay the City 10% <br />of their net profits. Between the three organizations, the City collected 10% fees of $20,235 for <br />2012, $16,062 for 2013, and $22,693 through November of 2014. <br />The City receives requests routinely from St. John's Church for Exempt Gambling Permits, and <br />St. John's has been charged the $35 processing fee. Requests are also received periodically from <br />organizations located outside the City for Exempt Gambling Permits, and these organizations are <br />charged the $35 fee. The Council will recall the most recent request from Rebuilding Together <br />Minnesota for a fundraiser that was held at Joe's Sporting Goods. This organization was charged <br />the $35 fee. <br />Based on the information about, it is staff's recommendation that the $35 fee for St. Odilia's <br />Exempt Gambling Permit not be waived. <br />
