<br /> <br />AGENDA ITEM 1D <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: Lisa Hogstad-Osterhues, Deputy Clerk <br /> <br />MEETING DATE: November 12, 2019 <br /> <br />TOPIC: Consider Approval of Excluded Bingo Event by the <br />Aquinas Roman Catholic Home Education Services <br /> <br />VOTE REQUIRED: Simple Majority (3/5 Vote Required) <br /> <br />INTRODUCTION <br /> <br />The City has received an application from the Aquinas Roman Catholic Home Education <br />Services (ARCHES) organization to conduct an excluded bingo event at St. Joseph’s <br />Church, 171 Elm Street, Lino Lakes on December 7, 2019. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br /> <br />Under Minnesota Statutes, Section 349.166, excluded bingo may be conducted by an <br />organization that conducts four or fewer bingo occasions in a calendar year, or in <br />connection with a county fair, the state fair, or a civic celebration if it is not conducted for <br />more than 12 consecutive days. 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 /> <br />City policy requires a background investigation on the applicant (James Kostick) which <br />has been successfully completed by the Public Safety Department in the past 12 months. <br /> <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 /> <br />RECOMMENDATION <br /> <br />Approve the application for the Aquinas Roman Catholic Home Education Services <br />(ARCHES) to conduct an Excluded Bingo Event on December 7, 2019.
