CITY COUNCIL <br />AGENDA ITEM 1E <br /> <br /> <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: Lisa Hogstad-Osterhues, Deputy Clerk <br /> <br />MEETING DATE: May 10, 2021 <br /> <br />TOPIC: Consider Approving Application for an Exempt Permit for <br />Lawful Gambling Conducted by St. Joseph of the Lakes <br />Catholic Church <br /> <br />VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5 Vote <br /> <br /> <br />INTRODUCTION <br /> <br />St. Joseph of the Lakes Catholic Church has applied for an exempt permit to conduct a raffle on <br />Saturday, August 7th and 8th, 2021. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br /> <br />Non-profit organizations are allowed, under the State Gambling Statutes, to apply for an <br />exemption from a gambling license if they conduct five (5) or fewer gambling occasions per <br />calendar year. St. Joseph of the Lakes Catholic Church conducts five (5) or less per calendar <br />year and, therefore, remains exempt from requiring a gambling license. <br /> <br />Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 349, Section 349.166, Subd. 2 does, however, require that the non- <br />profit organizations applying for the exemption permit, notify the city that they are applying for <br />the exemption and receive local approval. <br /> <br />The application and background materials are on file in City Clerk’s office. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION <br /> <br />Adopt a motion approving the application for exemption with no waiting period. <br />
