Resolution In Opposition to Pari-Mutuel Wagering
at a Satellite Facility in the City of Fairfax
WHEREAS, the 1992 session of the Virginia General Assembly
and the Governor approved amendments to the State Code to
provide for pari-mutuel wagering at satellite facilities in up
to six localities throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia; and
WHEREAS, the law requires that in localities where
petitions have been filed and the required legal procedures have
been followed, a referendum be held on the question of whether
pari-mutuel wagering shall be permitted at a satellite facility;
and
WHEREAS, this question is on the 1992 ballot in the City
of Fairfax; and
WHEREAS, the City Council believes that limited information
has been disseminated to the voters of the City of Fairfax and
inadequate opportunity for discussion.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the
City of Fairfax finds that establishment of a pari-mutuel
wagering satellite facility would be inconsistent with the
character and vision of the City; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City
of Fairfax supports the defeat of this referendum and encourages
the voters of the City to vote "No" on this question on November
3, 1992.
ADOPTED this 27th day of October , 1992.
