Meeting Date: 07/09/2013 By: Diana Lund, Finance Information Title: Approval for Exemption for a Gambling License for Ruffed Grouse Society -Twin Cities Chapter Background: The attached application is from the Ruffed Grouse Society - Twin Cities Chapter for exemption from a lawful gambling license to hold a fund-raising raffle at Game Fair on August 18, 2013. The Ruff Grouse Society is a wildlife conservation organization whose mission is to improve the environment for Ruffed Grouse, American W000dcock and other forest wildlife. The Ruff Grouse Society 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 City Council approve the exemption from a lawful gambling license for the Ruffed Grouse Society 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 Ruffed Grouse Society - Twin Cities Chapter 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.
