Merrick and the American Legion had requested to continue <br />to do this monthly; however, state statute only allows Merrick twelve Off -Site Permits each <br />calendar year, which prevents them from holding other events if all twelve permits are used for <br />Purse Bingo at the Legion. Merrick had applied for a Premises Permit to allow them to conduct <br />gambling in the form of Bingo at the Legion without the need for the Off -Site Permit. The City <br />needed to approve the Premises Permit application before it would be approved by the MN <br />Department of Public Safety, Alcohol and Gambling Control Board.
