(KNOX) – Grand Forks City Council has voted to limit organizations that can take part in charitable gaming.

75 percent of an organization’s board or staff must reside in Grand Forks or Polk counties to be eligible, there are some exclusions.

An exemption will be made if the eligible organization is the owner of one property where charitable gaming is authorized. If the organization owns multiple properties, it still must comply with the 75 percent rule.

Also an exemption will be made for single-event sites, such as raffles.
