Re: Gammelgarden Museum Application for an Excluded or Exempt Lawful Gambling Permit
Agenda Item#: S.h)
Background: The Gammelgarden Museum has applied for an Excluded or Exempt Lawful
Gambling Permit for their fundraising event planned for September 7,2013, 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 did the past two years,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 $1,900. 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.

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.
