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 />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 27, 2025. Catholic United Financial <br />holds this raffle every spring. <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 27, 2025, <br />with no waiting period. <br />AttaehmPntc <br />Attachment A: LG220 permit application <br />Attachment B: Statement of Nonprofit Status <br />Page 1 of 1 <br />
