City approval/denial is necessary under the State Statutes. Family Hope <br />Services, Inc. meets all if the requirements which allows them to remain exempt from <br />licensing, primarily from 'the standpoint that the value of the raffle is less than $750.00. <br /> <br />While the Game Fair is still a number of months away, Family Hope Services, Inc. is <br />currently submitting a similar application to the Gambling Control Board for similar <br />raffles taking place in the near furore. Submitting more than one application at a time <br />saves them from paying duplicate fees and requires only one background, check by the <br />Board, again saving money. <br /> <br />Approval requires nothing more than a motion followed by a letter to the Gambling <br />Control Board, while if the request is denied, a formal resolution would need to be <br />prepared stating the reason(s) for denial and submitted to the Gambling Control Board. <br /> <br /> <br />
