AGENDA ITEM IC <br />STAFF ORIGNINATOR: Jean Viger, Deputy Clerk <br />MEETING DATE: June 24, 2002 <br />TOPIC: Consider Resolution No. 02-59, Approving <br />Application for a Cabaret License, a 3.2 Beer <br />License and Exemption for Gambling Permit for <br />the St. Joseph Catholic Church Annual Festival. <br />VOTE REQUIRED: Simple Majority (3/5 Vote) <br />BACKGROUND: <br />St. Joseph Catholic Church will be hosting its annual August Festival, Saturday, August <br />10 and August 11, 2002. The August Festival is a major fundraising event for the parish. <br />As part of its celebration, beverages, including 3.2 beer, will be served. The State of <br />Minnesota requires that a separate 3.2 beer license be issued for such an event. <br />Non-profit organizations are allowed, under State Gambling Statutes, to apply for an <br />exemption from gambling license if they conduct fewer than five (5) gambling occasions <br />per year. St. Joseph Catholic Church falls in this category. In addition, each year a dance <br />is held on Saturday night and each year a cabaret license is required by city code. <br />The parish has made application to the City of Lino Lakes to acquire a cabaret license <br />and approval of the applications for exemption from gambling license and 3.2 beer <br />license. They have submitted a certificate of insurance for the dates of the event and paid <br />the proper fees. <br />The police department conducted a background investigation and found no information <br />which would require a recommendation of denial. <br />OPTIONS: <br />1. Adopt the motion to approve Resolution No. 02-59 <br />2. Deny approval of Resolution 02-59 <br />3. Return to staff for further information <br />RECOMMENDATIONS: <br />Option 1., approve Resolution No.02-59 <br />
