STAFF ORIGINATOR: MEETING DATE: TOPIC: VOTE REQUIRED: INTRODUCTION CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM 1F Lisa Hogstad-Osterhues, Deputy City Clerk July 22, 2019 Consider Approval of Resolution No. 19-92, Application for Temporary On -Sale Liquor License and Exempt Gambling Permit for and for Lino Lakes Lions Club 3/5 The Lino Lakes Lions Club is planning its annual fundraising "prime rib dinner" to be held on Saturday, September 21, 2019 at St. Joseph Catholic Church, 171 Elm Street. BACKGROUND The Lions Club is requesting approval of a 1 to 4 Day Temporary On -Sale Liquor License, which is necessary to allow the group to mix and dispense liquor that will be served as part of the dinner. In addition, they are requesting approval of a LG220 Exempt Gambling Permit for a raffle. Non- profit organizations are allowed, under the State Gambling Statutes, to apply for an exemption from a gambling license if they conduct five (5) or fewer gambling occasions per calendar year. The Lino Lakes Lions Club conducts five (5) or less per calendar and, therefore, remains exempt from requiring a gambling license. Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 349, Section 349.166, Subd. 2 does, however, require that the non- profit organizations applying for the exemption permit, notify the city that they are applying for the exemption and receive local approval. Staff has determined that the Lino Lakes Lions Club is eligible for the licenses under city regulations. The Public Safety Department has conducted the required background check on the applicant within the past year and have found no reason to deny. A copy of the application and a copy of the certificate of liquor liability insurance are on file in the city clerk's office. RECOMMENDATION Approve Resolution No. 19-92, approving a 1 to 4 Day Temporary On -Sale liquor license and Adopt a motion approving the application for exemption of the Gambling Permit with no waiting period.
