WHEREAS, the newly constructed San Manuel Indian Bingo and Casino, located at

hereinafter referred to as "CASINO", resides adjacent to the legal boundaries of the City of
San Bernardino on property that was zoned for residential use; and
WHEREAS, CASINO is adjacent to the jurisdiction of the City of San Bernardino
Police Department and the City is legally obligated to enforce the Laws of the State of
California as to any and all persons entering and leaving CASINO premises; and
WHEREAS, CASINO is surrounded by residential neighborhoods, schools, and
churches; and
WHEREAS, according to the Environmental Assessment prepared by the San
Manuel Tribe, CASINO is anticipated to produce an additional 17,000 new vehicle trips per

residential streets on which residents and students must travel in order to access their
homes and schools and precludes any reasonably safe mitigation for either its patrons or
local residents; and
WHEREAS, the original purpose for the property on which CASINO is located was
presented to the City of San Bernardino, County of San Bernardino, and the Bureau of
Indian Affairs in the Tribes application to transfer said property into Fee for Trust as park

the San Manuel Indian Bingo and Casino for a Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control
license by either the San Manuel Tribe or the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage
Control.
NOW, THEREFORE be it resolved by the Mayor and Common Council of the City of
San Bernardino that the City of San Bernardino opposes the proposed alcohol beverage

application for said license be rejected for the reasons cited in this resolution.
