 REPORT

 14-00336 Progressive Raffle Moratorium Update

 Chief Management Officer Carie Anne Ergo presented an update on the progressive
 raffle moratorium approved by Council on Tuesday, February 25th.
 Ergo explained that the first week after the moratorium was approved, staff met, put
 together a team of representatives from the City Clerk's office, Mayor's office and
 Law department, and worked on a game plan. On week two, research was compiled,
 and it was decided to send a raffle survey to those organizations who had requested
 a raffle permit within the last two years. While staff waited for surveys to come back,
 staff met with representatives from the gaming industry who sell these games. After
 surveys came back, we met with those interested in participating in the stakeholder
 roundtables.
 Ergo added that moving forward, we will continue to research and look at best
 practices, will send another survey to gather more data, and will start formulating the
 recommended legislation that will be presented to the City Council.
