RESOLUTION DELEGATING TO CITY CLERK AUTHORITY TO
ACKNOWLEDGE OR DENY EXEMPTED LAWFUL GAMBLING APPLICATIONS
WHEREAS, the city of Medina (the "City") is a municipal corporation organized and
existing under the laws of Minnesota; and
WHEREAS, Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 349 requires organizations engaged in lawful
gambling to obtain a premises permit before engaging in any lawful gambling activities; and
WHEREAS, Minnesota Statutes, Section 349.166, provides that certain organizations are
exempt from the premises permit requirement if the organization meets certain statutory
requirements; and
WHEREAS, organizations that are exempt from the premises permit requirement must
receive an exempt permit from the Minnesota Gambling Control Board (the "MGCB") prior to
engaging in lawful gambling activity; and
WHEREAS, as part of the application to the MGCB for an exempt permit, the
organization must obtain city acknowledgement of the exempt lawful gambling activity; and
WHEREAS, upon receipt of such application, a city may acknowledge the application,
acknowledge the application subject to a 30-day waiting period, or deny the application; and
WHEREAS, due to the time -sensitive nature of these applications, it is often difficult for
the city council to review applications in a timely manner; and
WHEREAS, the City wishes to provide for the timely review of applications by
delegating such authority to its city clerk.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the city council of the city of Medina,
Minnesota that the city clerk is granted the authority to acknowledge or deny exempt lawful
gambling permit applications on behalf of the City.
