RESOLUTION NO. 1888
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS
REQUESTING THE CALIFORNIA HORSE RACING BOARD TO GRANT
A LICENSE TO THE ORANGE COUNTY FAIR BOARD FOR THOROUGHBRED
RACING AT THE LOS ALAMITOS RACE COURSE ON NOVEMBER 8 - 21,
1977.
WHEREAS, the California Horse Racing Board has previously approved the
dates of November 8 - 21 1977 for thoroughbred racing at the Los Alamitos
Race Course, and
WHEREAS the Orange County Fair Board has applied for the granting of
a license to conduct thoroughbred racing at Los Alamitos Race Course in
conjunction with the Orange County Cultural Fair on these dates, and
WHEREAS the granting of this license will provide the 1,700,000
residents of Orange County an opportunity to enjoy thoroughbred racing
within the County which in no way infringes upon the rights of residents
of adjacent counties to enjoy thoroughbred racing in conjunction with their
respective county fairs or at Santa Anita or Hollywood Park in Los Angeles
County, and
WHEREAS, by providing thoroughbred racing in Orange County the California
Horse Racing Board will be meeting the goals of the Environmental Protection
Agency by decreasing the distance that Orange County citizens are required
to travel to enjoy thoroughbred racing, thereby limiting both the air pollu-
tants and the consumption of gas which would be required to travel further
distances to enjoy this activity, and
WHEREAS the State of California the Orange County Fair Board and the
local jurisdictions in Orange County would receive economic benefit from the
revenues derived from the thoroughbred racing meet, and
WHEREAS the granting of this license will insure that the time, effort
and money expended by the State, the Orange County Fair Board and the local
jurisdictions in planning and preparing for the November racing dates will
not be wasted. and
WHEREAS, the objections raised by Santa Anita and Hollywood Park of the
granting of the license is a continuation of the failure of these special
interests to recognize the needs of the 1,700,000 citizens of Orange County
to have a thoroughbred race meet within the County.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Cypress
supports the Orange County Fair Board's application for a thoroughbred racing
license for November 8 - 21, 1977, as previously approved by the California
Horse Racing Board and would urge the Board to implement this decision by
granting the thoroughbred racing license
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Cypress at a regular
meeting held on the 8th day of August 1977.
