AGENDA ITEM 1 G
Lisa Hogstad-Osterhues, Deputy City Clerlc
September 13, 2021
Consider Approval of Resolution No. 21-895 Application
for Temporary On -Sale Liquor License and Exempt
Gambling Permit for and for Lino Lakes Lions Club
3/5
The Lino Lalces Lions Club is planning its annual fundraising "prime rib dinner" to be held on
Saturday, October 9, 2021 at St. Joseph Catholic Church, 171 Elm Street,
BACKGROUND
The Lions Club is requesting approval of a 1 to 4 Day Temporary On -Sale Liquor License,
which is necessary to allow the group to mix and dispense liquor that will be served as part of the
dinner.
In addition, they are requesting approval of a LG220 Exempt Gambling Permit for a raffle. Non-
profit organizations are allowed, under the State Gambling Statutes, to apply for an exemption
from a gambling license if they conduct five (5) or fewer gambling occasions per calendar year.
The Lino Lakes Lions Club conducts five (5) or less per calendar and, therefore, remains exempt
from requiring a gambling license.
Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 349, Section 349.166, Subd. 2 does, however, require that the non-
profit organizations applying for the exemption permit, notify the city that they are applying for
the exemption and receive local approval.
Staff has determined that the Lino Lakes Lions Club is eligible for the licenses under city
regulations. The Public Safety Department has conducted the required background check on the
applicant has found no reason to deny.
A copy of the application and a copy of the certificate of liquor liability insurance are on file in
the city clerk's office.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve Resolution No. 21-89, approving a 1 to 4 Day Temporary On -Sale liquor license and
Adopt a motion approving the application for exemption of the Gambling Permit with no waiting
period.
