Consider Adoption of Resolution No. 06 -124,
Approving an application for Exempt Permit
For PACE /USW Local #264
Simple Majority (3/5 Vote Required)
The United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied
Industrial and Service Workers International Union, Local #264, is planning a gun
raffle in conjunction with its annual golf tournament. The tournament is being
held at Chomonix Golf Course on Saturday, September 16, 2006.
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 /USW Local #264 holds just this one tournament each year.
Minnesota Statutes, Section 349.166, Subdivision 2, does require non - profit
applicants to notify the city and obtain local approval, with or without a 30 day
waiting period. Because this request will be considered by the council
approximately 30 days prior to the event and staff would recommend allowing
time for mailing etc., approval is requested with no waiting period.
The application and other required information is on file in the city clerk's office.
OPTIONS:
1. Approve Resolution No. 06 -124 approving an exempt permit to allow
PACE /USW to conduct a gun raffle at Chomonix Golf Course on
September 16, 2006.
2. Deny Resolution No. 06 -124
