RESOLUTION NO. 6069
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS TO OPPOSING
PROPOSITIONS 94, 95, 96 AND 97 RELATED TO
STATE GAMING COMPACTS WITH CERTAIN INDIAN TRIBES
WHEREAS, in June 2007, the California Legislature passed Senate Bills 903,
174, 175, and 957, which approved amendments to the 1999 gaming compacts with the
Pechanga, Morongo, Sycuan and Agua Caliente tribes; and
WHEREAS, the Senate Bills were put "on hold" pending voter approval as a
result of a referendum to place the compact amendments on the February 8, 2008
statewide ballot ; and
WHEREAS, the compact amendments allow for tribal gambling expansion that
might attract business away from non-tribal facilities and could result in a reduction of
tax revenues for the State and local governments; and
WHEREAS, the compact amendments are negotiated with only four of the
gaming tribes in California which could negatively impact the other tribes by attracting
customers who would otherwise go to the casinos of other California tribes; and
WHEREAS, expanded gambling on tribal lands could reduce revenues from
other forms of gambling including horse racing, which would directly impact the Los
Alamitos Race Course and the City of Cypress.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF CYPRESS AS FOLLOWS:
The City Council of the City of Cypress opposes Propositions 94, 95, 96 and 97 on the
February 8, 2008 statewide ballot which amend the existing 1999 State gaming
compacts with the Pechanga, Morongo, Sycuan, and Agua Caliente tribes.
PASSED AND ADOPTED, by the City Council of the City of Cypress at a regular
44(
meeting held on the 28th day of January, 2008.
