RESOLUTION NO.79R -678
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF ANAHEIM 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 thoroughbred 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 thorough-
bred 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 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 Anaheim 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.
THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION is approv-d d adopted by
the City Council of the City of Anahei 's 21 day of November, 1979.
