AGENDA ITEM 1B <br />STAFF ORIGNINATOR: Jean Viger, Deputy Clerk <br />MEETING DATE: October 10, 2005 <br />TOPIC: Consider Approving Application for Exempt <br />Permit from Lawful Gambling License, St. <br />Joseph Catholic Church <br />VOTE REQUIRED: Simple Majority (3/5 Vote) <br />BACKGROUND: <br />St. Joseph Catholic Church has applied for an exempt permit to conduct it's annual <br />"Turkey Bingo" event which helps fund Thanksgiving food baskets. The event is <br />scheduled for November 20, 2005. Non - profit organizations are allowed, under the State <br />Gambling Statutes, to apply for an exempt from gambling license if they conduct fewer <br />than five (5) gambling occasions per calendar year. St. Joseph Catholic Church conducts <br />fewer than five (5) per calendar and, therefore, remains exempt from requiring a <br />gambling license. <br />Minnesota Statute, 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. A copy of the application is attached. <br />Application on file in City Clerk's office <br />OPTIONS: <br />1. Adopt a motion approving the application for exemption. <br />2. Deny the application for exemption. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Option No. 1 <br />j:jviger /Deputy Clerk/ Agenda Item St. Joseph Exempt Permit 2005 <br />
