AGENDA ITEM 1B STAFF ORIGNINATOR: Jean Viger, Deputy Clerk MEETING DATE: September 12, 2005 TOPIC: Consider Resolution 05 -128 Approving Application for Exempt Permit to PACE (Paper, Allied - Industrial, Chemical & Energy) Workers International Union, Local #7 -0264 VOTE REQUIRED: Simple Majority (3/5 Vote) BACKGROUND: PACE, Local #7 -0264 is planning a gun raffle in conjunction with its 10th Annual Golf Tournament. The tournament is being held at Chomonix Golf Course on Saturday, September 17, 2005. All lawful gambling conducted in Minnesota requires authorization from the Minnesota Gambling Control Board in the form of a license, exempt permit or excluded authorization. An exempt permit may be issued to non - profit organizations conducting lawful gambling activity on five or fewer days during a calendar year. PACE holds just this one tournament each year. Minnesota Statute, Chapter 349, Section 349.166, Subd. 2 does, however, require the non - profit organization applying for the exempt permit to notify the City. The City must than take action to approve the application, approve with a 30 day waiting period or deny the application. On August 9, 2005, the applicant inadvertently sent the completed application to the Minnesota Gambling Control Board rather than to the City of Lino Lakes. Because the event is scheduled to take place September 17, 2005, the application, if approved, must be approved with no waiting period. The signed copy will then be faxed to the Minnesota Gambling Control Board. The application, proof of non - profit status and all other required information is on file in the city clerk's office. OPTIONS: 1. Approve Resolution 05 -128 2. Deny Resolution 05 -128 RECOMMENDATION: Option No. 1
