According to <br />Minnesota’s Lawful Gambling regulations, they are required to obtain acknowledgment from the <br />City they are located in. This does not require a permit or license from the City as it is not a <br />premise permit. <br /> <br />As part of the requirement of LG220 Application for Exempt Permit, the City must acknowledge <br />the application with no waiting period, with a 30 day waiting period, or deny the application. The <br />date of the drawing for this raffle is March 9, 2017. <br /> <br />Staff Recommendation: <br /> <br />Staff does not see any reason to impose a 30 day waiting period on this application and <br />recommends the City Council approve a motion acknowledging the application of Catholic <br />United Financial for an Exempt Permit to conduct a raffle with a drawing date of March 9, 2017, <br />with no waiting period. <br /> <br />Attachments: <br /> <br />Attachment A: Letter from Catholic United Financial <br />Attachment B: Catholic United Financial LG220 permit application <br />Attachment C: Statement of Nonprofit Status
