A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS
REQUESTING THE CALIFORNIA HORSE RACING BOARD TO APPROVE
THE FOURTEEN AUTHORIZED THOROUGHBRED RACING DAYS FOR THE
ORANGE COUNTY FAIR AT THE LOS ALAMITOS RACE COURSE IN 1980
WHEREAS the Orange County Fair Board is authorized a fourteen day thor-
oughbred racing meet at the Los Alamitos Race Course in conjunction with the
Orange County Cultural Fair, and
WHEREAS, the granting of these fourteen thoroughbred racing days provides
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 these fourteen days of thoroughbred racing in Orange
County, the California Horse Racing Board will be meeting the goals of the Envir-
onmental Protection Agency by decreasing the distance that Orange County citizens
are required to travel to enjoy thoroughbred racing thereby limiting both the
air pollutants 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 full fourteen day thoroughbred racing meet, and
WHEREAS the objections raised by Santa Anita and Hollywood Park to the
granting of these fourteen days 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 full thoroughbred race meet within the County
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Cypress
urges the California Horse Racing Board to approve the fourteen authorized
thoroughbred racing days for the Orange County Fair at the Los Alamitos Race
Course in 1980
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Cypress at a regular
meeting held on the 22nd day of October 1979
