Staff Report
Date of Meeting: March 15, 2016
To: City Council
From: Brenda Eklund, Deputy Clerk
Re: Gammelgarden Museum Application for an Excluded or Exempt Lawful Gambling Permit
Background: The Gammelgarden Museum has applied for an Excluded or Exempt Lawful
Gambling Permit for their fundraising event planned for September 10, 2016, immediately prior
to the Taco Daze parade. 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 Gammelgarden Museum's application for an Excluded or
Exempt Gambling Permit?
Proposal Details: As they have done since 2011, the organization will sell chances on the
"Running of the Meatballs" which will occur on Oakhill Road, starting at Elim Church, down the
hill to the east. Special golf balls will be rolled down the hill and prizes awarded based on when
the balls cross the finish line. The value of all prizes given will be $1,800. The Scandia Marine
Lions Club will again include this activity in their Special Event Permit for the parade and the
rest of the Taco Daze events. The organization and the event appear to meet all the requirements
of the city's ordinance.
Fiscal Impact: None
Options:
1) Approve the Gammelgarden Museum's 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.
