Per Minnesota's Lawful Gambling regulations, <br />they are required to obtain acknowledgment from the City. Please note this does not require a <br />permit or license from the City as it is not a 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. Ducks Unlimited has been holding this raffle each year at Welsch's Big Ten. <br />Staff recommends the City Council approve a motion acknowledging the LG220 Application of <br />Ducks Unlimited for an Exempt Permit to conduct a raffle with a drawing date of January 1, 2026 <br />with no waiting period. <br />Budget Impact <br />N/A <br />Attachments <br />Attachment A: LG220 exempt permit application <br />Attachment B: Statement of Non-profit <br />Page 1 of 1 <br />
