for American Legion Post 566 to conduct charitable gambling at Elwoods, 7997 Lake Dr., Suite

The application is complete. The Lino Lakes Police Department has conducted a background
investigation relative to this application and found no information on the applicants that would

Minnesota Lawful Gambling law requires that the local unit of government approve applications
for premises permit before they are submitted to the Gambling Control Board for final
consideration. Therefore, the City Council is being asked to consider approval of a resolution
approving the application submitted by the American Legion Post 566.

Legion Post 566 to conduct charitable gambling at Elwoods, 7997 Lake Dr., Suite 130, Lino
Lakes.
