STAFF ORIGINATOR: <br />MEETING DATE: <br />TOPIC: <br />VOTE REQUIRED: <br />INTRODUCTION <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />AGENDA ITEM 1D <br />Julie Bartell, City Clerk <br />October 10, 2022 <br />Consider Approving Exempt Gambling Permit for St. <br />Joseph's Catholic Church Scholarship Raffle <br />3/5 Vote <br />St. Joseph's Catholic Church has applied for a LG220 Application for Exempt Permit to conduct <br />their annual scholarship raffle to be held on November 22, 2022. The proceeds from this raffle <br />will be used to award college scholarships to members of St. Joseph Catholic Church. <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 per <br />calendar year. St. Joseph Catholic Church conducts five (5) or less per calendar and, therefore, <br />remains exempt from requiring a gambling license. <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 />The application and background materials are on file in City Clerk's office. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Adopt a motion approving the application for exemption with no waiting period. <br />
