Bob Davis questioned what was being raffled, the value
of the item, if they notified the state this year and last year, if they submitted
a written report to the City as to how many tickets were sold last year and how
much money was raised and if anyone was being paid to manage or promote the
raffle.
Jennifer Gabriel, Chamber Director, advised that they
did notify the Secretary of State last year and this year and followed that by submitting
a copy to the City both years, which is required by law. The raffle is for a 2006 Von Dutch custom
motorcycle valued at $29,900 on
City Attorney Keith Smit advised that this raffle request
is statewide so the Chamber Foundation only needs to give the City notice that the
prize from the raffle will be given away in Sturgis. If the Foundation were doing a City raffle only,
then they must follow the ordinance.
