• <br />• <br />AGENDA ITEM 1 E <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: Julie Bartell, City Clerk <br />MEETING DATE: January 24, 2011 <br />TOPIC: Consider Approving Application for an Excluded <br />Raffle Event for Lino Lakes Elementary School <br />VOTE REQUIRED: Simple Majority (3/5 Vote) <br />BACKGROUND: <br />The Lino Lakes Elementary School Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) has applied for <br />permission to conduct a raffle at their school carnival event. The event is scheduled for <br />March 26, 2011. Non - profit organizations are allowed, under the State Gambling <br />Statutes, to conduct excluded gambling (raffle) without a state permit if the total value of <br />the raffle prizes does not exceed $1,500. Lino Lakes Elementary PTO has submitted <br />the information necessary to determine that their event is excluded. Minnesota Statutes <br />do, however, require that the non - profit organizations wishing to conduct an excluded <br />raffle notify the city that they are applying for the exemption and receive local approval. <br />The application and background check information is on file in City Clerk's office. <br />OPTIONS: <br />1. Adopt a motion approving the application <br />2. Deny the application for exemption. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Option No. 1 <br />
