AGENDA ITEM 1B <br />STAFF ORIGNINATOR: Jean Viger, Deputy Clerk <br />MEETING DATE: October 28, 2002 <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 made application for an exempt permit to conduct a raffle <br />at their annual venison feed to be held on November 26, 2002. Non -profit organizations <br />are allowed, under the State Gambling Statutes, to apply for an exempt from gambling <br />license if they conduct fewer than five (5) gambling occasions per calendar year. St. <br />Joseph Catholic Church conducts fewer than five (5) per calendar and, therefore, remains <br />exempt from requiring a 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 />OPTIONS: <br />1. Adopt a motion approving the application for exemption. <br />2. Deny the application for exemption. <br />RECOMMENDATIONS: <br />Option No. 1 <br />
