Request/Subject

Arizona Department of Racing, County Fair Racing Permit

Background Information

The Fair and Racing Commission requests Board of Supervisors' approval to conduct racing at the Gila County Fairgrounds each year for the first two weeks in October.

This request is to extend BOS approval for 2015, 2016, and 2017.

Evaluation

While there is no guarantee horse racing will return to the Fairgrounds, providing approval for the State Permit is a reasonable action of the Board.

Conclusion

This action will allow the Fair and Racing Commission to conduct racing at no cost to Gila County.

Recommendation

Staff recommends that the request to approve the State Permit and authorize the Fair and Racing Commission to run horse races at the Fairgrounds be approved.

Suggested Motion

Approval of the authorization to conduct horse racing on behalf of the Board of Supervisors at the Gila County Fairgrounds during the first two weeks in October of 2015, 2016, and 2017, at no cost to the County.
