MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and Members of City Council
FROM: Erwin W. Jentsch, Corporation Course
SUBJECT: Intergovernmental Agreement for Lice ing of Raffles
As you are aware, raffles in the absence if a license are violations
of the Criminal Code of the State of Illinois.
State legislation was passed in the last lew years authorizing units
of local government to license raffles in acco dance with the statutory
requirements.
Kane County has passed a licensing ordina ce and suggested form of
intergovernmental agreement for licensing in e county and participating
municipalities.
Attached are copies of a recent memorand t from the Chairman of the
Kane County Board with copies of the raffle ordinance and the agreements
developed.
You may wish to review this subject at a f ture meeting of the Committee
of the Whole.

TO: All Mayors and Village Presidents
RE: Intergovernmental Cooperation Agreement or Raffle Licensing
FROM: Philip B. Elfstrom, Chairman, Kane Count Board
The enclosed Raffle Ordinance, adopted by the Ka e County Board in March, was
developed with input from nine Kane County munic palities. It represents a
consensus and establishes the basis for a County wide system of licensing raffles.
The State legislation on raffles is somewhat con using, but it is clear that
raffles are illegal unless operated an ordinance
Without an intergovernmental agreement, tickets o a given raffle may only
be sold in the jurisdiction wherein the license s issued. Under the system as
proposed, tickets for a raffle may be sold in an jurisdiction entering into
the agreement.
In order to make this system work, all participaiing bodies should pass essen-
tially the same ordinance and enter into an intergovernmental agreement with
Kane County. Copies of alternative forms of an . greement are enclosed: •
Agreement 1 - allows the municipality to . dminister its ordinance;
i.e. , process applications, etc.
Agreement 2 - delegates the administratio of the ordinance to the
County Clerk.
Either of the above would effectuate the system.
Once an agreement with Kane County bus been exec ted, tickets to a raffle
licensed in one jurisdiction could be sold in an jurisdictions participating
in a similar agreement with the County.
Participation in this system of licensing in no ay precludes a municipality
from passing a separate ordinance with higher pr•ze limits. However, under
Illinois law, tickets to a raffle licensed under the separate ordinance could
only be sold within the bondaries of the municip.lity.
It is our hope that this system will be implemen ed County-wide. Certainly,
uniformity will facilitate more effective enforc,ment in cases of abuse. If
-you decide to participate, please adopt the ordinance, execute one of the
enclosed agreements and send the signed copy to he Kane County Board Office,
719 Batavia Avenue, Geneva, Illinois 60134.
