Graveraet Parent Association Non-Profit Status - Roll Call Vote

BACKGROUND: 
A representative of Graveraet Parent Association recently contacted the City and requested the adoption of a resolution recognizing them as a local non-profit organization. They plan to conduct their first fundraising raffle in November, and the Bureau of State Lottery requires the local governing body to first recognize their designation as a non-profit agency.  The group has provided the City with a copy of the proposed resolution, a roster of their board of directors, the general date of the first proposed raffle, confirmation of their IRS 501(c)(3) designation, bylaws and articles of incorporation.  Organizations supply this information when asking the Commission for this recognition, in accordance with City Commission Policy 2011-01.

None to the City.


RECOMMENDATION: 
Adopt the resolution recognizing Graveraet Parent Association as a non-profit organization operating in the community for the purpose of obtaining a charitable gaming license, and authorize the Clerk to sign the resolution.

ALTERNATIVES: 
As determined by the Commission.
