STAFF ORIGINATOR: <br />MEETING DATE: <br />TOPIC: <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />AGENDA ITEM 1D <br />Lisa Hogstad-Osterhues, Deputy City Clerk <br />April 13, 2015 <br />Consider Approving Application for Exempt Permit from <br />Lawful Gambling License for the Lino Lakes Lions Club <br />VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5 Vote <br />INTRODUCTION <br />St. Joseph Catholic Church has applied for an exempt permit to conduct a raffle at their "Prime <br />Rib Dinner" event. The event is scheduled for September 12, 2015. <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. The Lino Lakes Lions Club 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 applications for exemption with no waiting period. <br />
