Application to Conduct Annual Off-Site Gambling by Elk River Lions Club
REQUEST
The Elk River Lions Club has requested an application to conduct off-site gambling.
APPLICANT
Elk River Lions Club
BACKGROUND
The Elk River Lions Club will be holding a raffle to benefit Relay for Life on August 7,
2004. The event will take place at the Elk River Senior High School Football Arena. The
Lions Club already holds a gambling premises permit to allow gambling at the Broadway Bar
and Pizza, 16754 Highway 10. Because the raffle event will not take place at the location of
the Premise Permit, the State requires that the Council adopt a resolution approving an
application for off-site gambling.
ACTION REQUESTED
Council motion adopting the attached resolution approving application for Elk River Lions
Club to conduct annual off-site gambling.
