MEETING DATE: September 12, 2005
TOPIC: Consider Resolution 05 -128 Approving
Application for Exempt Permit to PACE (Paper,

BACKGROUND:
PACE, Local #7 -0264 is planning a gun raffle in conjunction with its 10th Annual Golf
Tournament. The tournament is being held at Chomonix Golf Course on Saturday,
September 17, 2005.
All lawful gambling conducted in Minnesota requires authorization from the Minnesota
Gambling Control Board in the form of a license, exempt permit or excluded
authorization. An exempt permit may be issued to non - profit organizations conducting
lawful gambling activity on five or fewer days during a calendar year. PACE holds just
this one tournament each year.
Minnesota Statute, Chapter 349, Section 349.166, Subd. 2 does, however, require the
non -profit organization applying for the exempt permit to notify the City. The City must
than take action to approve the application, approve with a 30 day waiting period or deny
the application.
On August 9, 2005, the applicant inadvertently sent the completed application to the
Minnesota Gambling Control Board rather than to the City of Lino Lakes. Because the
event is scheduled to take place September 17, 2005, the application, if approved, must
be approved with no waiting period. The signed copy will then be faxed to the Minnesota
Gambling Control Board.
The application, proof of non - profit status and all other required information is on file in
the city clerk's office.
OPTIONS:
1. Approve Resolution 05 -128
2. Deny Resolution 05 -128
RECOMMENDATION:
Option No. 1
