Approval From Exemption for a Gambling License for Capable Partners

Purpose:  The State Gambling Board requires a city to give approval to a non-profit organization for a gambling event that is located within its city limits by acknowledging this approval by signing off on an application for exempt permit.

The attached application is from Capable Partners for exemption from a lawful gambling license to hold a fund-raising raffle at Game Fair the weekends of August 8-10 and August 15-17, 2014.  Capable Partners is a non-profit organization of sport persons whose mission is to volunteer their time and talents to provide hunting, fishing and related opportunities to the physically challenged.

Capable Partners meets all of the requirements which allow them to remain exempt from licensing, primarily from the standpoint that commodities to be raffled are less than $50,000 in a calendar year.

 

Staff recommends that Council approve the exemption from a lawful gambling license for Capable Partners to hold a raffle at Game Fair the weekends of August 8-10 and August 15-17, 2014.
