Council approves recognition for Alpena Streamline Club so it may seek charitable gaming license
Summary
Council approved consideration and a resolution recognizing the Alpena Streamline Club as a nonprofit operating in the community to enable the group to apply for a one‑time charitable gaming license for a raffle.
The City Council on Monday approved a resolution recognizing the Alpena Streamline Club as a nonprofit operating in Alpena so the group may pursue a charitable gaming license for a one‑time raffle.
Council members noted the group recently received its 501(c)(3) letter from the IRS (dated March 25) and that the request was time‑sensitive because the organization planned a raffle prior to the next council meeting. The mayor and council moved, seconded and voted to approve consideration of the resolution and the necessary local recognition to allow the group to apply for the state charitable gaming authorization.
Council discussion included brief confirmation that the Streamline Club promotes competitive swimming opportunities in the Alpena community; no objections were raised. The council recorded aye votes to approve the resolution and to proceed with the authorization necessary for the state application.
No additional conditions or funding were attached to the action in the meeting record.
