06.d Scandia Elementary PTO Gambling PermitStaff Report
Date of Meeting: April 15, 2025
To: City Council
From: Brenda Eklund, City Clerk
Re: Scandia Elementary PTO Application for an Excluded Raffle Permit
Background: The Scandia Elementary PTO has applied for an Excluded Raffle Permit for their
fundraising event planned for May 30, 2025, as part of the school’s Spring Carnival. The
Gambling Ordinance, Chapter 130.01-130.99 of the City’s Code of Ordinances, requires a local
permit to conduct lawful gambling that is excluded or exempted from state licensure
requirements.
Issue: Should the City approve Scandia Elementary PTO’s application for an Excluded Raffle
Permit?
Proposal Details: The organization will sell raffle tickets for prizes. The value of all prizes
awarded will be up to $1,200. State law allows an excluded raffle to be conducted by a
nonprofit organization if the total value of all raffle prizes awarded does not exceed $1,500 and
the organization has not received an exempt permit in the current calendar year. The PTO’s
nonprofit status with the Secretary of State’s Office is active and in good standing. The
application appears to meet all the requirements of the ordinance.
Fiscal Impact: The $15 application fee has been paid.
Options:
1) Approve Scandia Elementary PTO’s Excluded Raffle Permit.
2) Do not approve the request for a gambling permit.
3) Make no decision at this meeting.
Recommendation: Option 1.
