CITY COUNCIL <br />AGENDA ITEM 1D <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: Lisa Hogstad-Osterhues, Deputy City Clerk <br />MEETING DATE: March 18. 2022 <br />TOPIC: Consider Approving Application for an LG220 Exempt <br />Raffle Permit for Lino Lakes Elementary School PTO <br />VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5 <br />INTRODUCTION <br />Lino Lakes Elementary PTO has applied for an exempt permit to conduct a raffle on <br />Saturday, May 14, 2022. <br />BACKGROUND <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 <br />per calendar year. Lino Lakes Elementary PTO conducts five (5) or less per calendar year <br />and, therefore, remains exempt from requiring a gambling license. <br />Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 349, Section 349.166, Subd. 2 does, however, require that the <br />non-profit organizations applying for the exemption permit, notify the city that they are <br />applying for the exemption and receive local approval. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Adopt a motion approving the application for exemption with no waiting period for Lino <br />Lakes Elementary School. <br />
