Introduction - Continued. MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO THE REGULATION OF CARD ROOMS LEGISLATIVE BUSINESS Mr. George Bugnatto, 216 Juniper Ave., stated that he represented the Oldtown Homeowners Assn. and they were concerned with an expansion of this business affecting the quality of life in the area. He stated that the intent of the master plan for the downtown was to phase out the two cardrooms, and questioned why the Council would entertain an expansion of hours, increase of bet limits, and allow more cardgames. He stated that he could understand local people wanting to have a friendly cardgame, however, by raising the bet limit it would attract high rollers to the area. Mr. Jack Stuart, 910 Linden Ave., stated that he was a member of the same Association and agreed with Mr. Bugnatto's remarks. He stated that he was a retired enfor- cement officer of thirty-seven years in special licensing in gaming, and had noted in the ordinance that Policy 47 stated that these businesses were to be phased out of existence. He continued, yet here the Council was considering enlarging the cardrooms. He stated that even if these two cardrooms had not caused trouble in this City, one could look at large operations in Los Angeles and other cities and see that there is trouble. He believed that if the citizens of this City were allowed to vote on this issue, they would vote them out of existence. Mayor Teglia stated that the items that dealt with expansion of hours and tables had been referred to the Planning Commission, and were not before the Council tonight. She stated that this was just adding games that the Attorney General had declared legal in the State.

Discussion followed: the size of pots with the $200 bet limit; that pots could be as high as $1,000; if Councilman Addiego believed that changing the bet and adding the two games would require additional police services he would not vote on the issue, and believed that other businesses on the 300 block of Grand created the police problems; that currently the cardrooms were a legitimate use, and the owners were known to the Council and the community; that this would allow the cardrooms to stay in the market place, etc. M/S Haffey/Addiego - To waive reading and introduce the Ordinance.
