LOTTERY LICENSING BY-LAW
Recommendations:
It is respectfully recommended to Council:
1 . THAT Report CD-12-98 be received; and
2. THAT the by-law attached to Report CD-12-98 as Attachment NO.1 be
forwarded to Council for approval.
BACKGROUND AND COMMENT:
At the Council meeting held on January 26, 1998, the Clerk was directed to prepare
an amendment to the lottery licensing by-law to allow for the approval of lottery
licences only to eligible organizations which have a home base in the municipality.
In preparation of this report, several municipalities were contacted to determine
whether they limit their licences to home-based organizations. The findings were as
follows:
Report CD-12-98
- 2 -
February 9, 1998
DO YOU LIMIT LOTTERY
LICENCES TO HOME-BASED
MUNICIPALITY ORGANIZATIONS?
Oshawa Yes
Whitby Yes
Ajax No
Pickering No, provided the organization
benefits their community
Scugog No
Uxbridge Yes
Brock No
Port Hope Yes
Cobourg Yes
The by-law amendment which will allow Clarington to issue licences to only home-based
organizations is attached hereto as Attachment NO.1.
The "break-open" ticket prices and prize structure has recently been amended by the
Province. The maximum prize which can now be awarded is $500, an increase from $100.
Ticket prices have been amended from $.50 to a maximum of $1.00. Accordingly, it is
now necessary for our lottery licensing by-law to be amended to reflect this change. This
amendment has also been incorporated into the by-law attached as Attachment NO.1.
It is therefore recommended that the attached by-law be approved by Council.
Respectfully submitted
