The Aquinas Roman Catholic Home Education Services <br />organization meets this requirement. The organization also meets the requirements of the <br />Lino Lakes City Code since the physical site where the organization regularly conducts <br />its activities is located within the city (St. Joseph's Church). <br />City policy requires a background investigation on the applicant (James Kostick) which <br />has been successfully completed by the Public Safety Depaitiuent in the past 12 months. <br />The Application and a certificate of non-profit status from the Internal Revenue Service <br />are on file in the city clerk's office. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Approve the application for the Aquinas Roman Catholic Home Education Services <br />(ARCHES) to conduct an Excluded Bingo Event on February 16, 2019. <br />
