According to Minnesota’s Lawful Gambling regulations, they are required to <br />obtain acknowledgment from the City they are located in. This does not require a permit or <br />license from the City as it is not a premise permit. <br /> <br />As part of the requirement of LG220 Application for Exempt Permit, the City must formally <br />acknowledge the application with no waiting period, with a 30 day waiting period, or deny the <br />application. The date of the drawing for this raffle is March 11, 2021. <br /> <br />Staff 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 11, <br />2021, with no waiting period. <br /> <br />Attachments <br />Attachment A: Letter from Catholic United Financial <br />Attachment B: Catholic United Financial LG220 permit application <br />Attachment C: Statement of Nonprofit Status
