CC Regular Session 4. 5. Meeting Date: 07/09/2013 By: Diana Lund, Finance Information Title: Approval for Exemption For a Gambling License for Property Economic Resource Management (PERM) Background: The attached application is from the Property Economic Resource Management (PERM) for exemption from a lawful gambling license to hold a fund-raising raffle at Game Fair on August 18, 2013. The PERM group is a conservation club that is dedicated to finding balanced solutions to natural resource issues. The PERM group wants to ensure equal protection of the law and sustainable access to Minnesota's natural resources for all citizens. The PERM group meets all of the requirements which allow them to remain exempt from licensing, primarily from the standpoint that commodities to be raffled are valued at less than $12,000. Approval requires nothing more than a motion followed by a letter to the Gambling Control Board, while if the request is denied, a formal resolution for denial would need to be prepared and submitted to the Gambling Control Board. Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council approve the exemption from a lawful gambling license for the PERM group to hold a raffle at Game Fair on August 18, 2013. Council Action: Motion to recommend City Council approve the exemption from a lawful gambling license for the PERM group to hold a raffle at Game Fair on August 18, 2013 and authorize staff to submit a letter to the Gambling Control Board stating approval.
