Re: Scandia-Marine Lions Foundation Application for an Excluded or Exempt Lawful
Gambling Permit
Background: The Scandia-Marine Lions Foundation has applied for an Excluded or Exempt
Lawful Gambling Permit for their fundraising event planned for October 15, 2015. The
Gambling Ordinance (No. 100) requires a local permit to conduct lawful gambling that is
excluded or exempted from state licensure requirements.
Issue: Should the City approve Scandia-Marine Lions Foundation's application for an Excluded
or Exempt Gambling Permit?
Proposal Details: The Lions Foundation is hosting a Sportsmen's Dinner at the Community
Center on October 15, 2015. They plan to sell raffle tickets for prizes such as guns, a gun
cabinet and a trip package. The value of all prizes given will be $2,500. The organization and
the event appear to meet all the requirements of the city's ordinance.
Fiscal Impact: None
Options:
1) Approve the Scandia-Marine Lions Foundation Excluded or Exempt Lawful Gambling
Permit.
2) Do not approve the request for a gambling permit.
3) Make no decision at this meeting.
Recommendation: Option 1.
