CIT OF SAN BERNARDW - REOUL :T FOR COUNCIL AC ON
STAFF REPORT
Under current horseracing law, cities may choose to receive
an amount equal to 0. 33 of 1% of the pari-mutuel wagers
(defined as the total betting pool) placed at live horse-
racing events within city boundaries. Assembly Bill 195,
which was recently signed by the Governor, and became
effective January 1, 1988, extended this revenue source to
include satellite wagering in addition to live horseracing
events. Cities and counties which have satellite wagering at
County Fairs or District Agricultural Association Fairs, were
authorized through this bill to receive . 33 of 1% of the
total pari-mutuel wagering conducted on the fairgrounds.
This proposed ordinance authorizes the City to immediately
receive its allocated share of pari-mutuel wagering at the
National Orange Show Fairgrounds.
The California Horseracing Board has estimated that approxi-
mately $250, 000 to $300, 000 per day in pari-mutuel wagering
results at the Orange Show Fairgrounds. Assuming these
figures will remain constant for the duration of the
horseracing season, which runs about 250 days per year at the
Santa Anita, Hollywood Park and Del Mar Race Tracks, the City
can expect to generate anywhere from $206, 000 to $247 , 000 per
year in revenues.
In order to begin collecting these revenues, it is recom-
nded that the Council adopt the proposed ordinanace.
