88 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF ORANGE AMENDING CHAPTER 5.95
OF THE ORANGE MUNICIPAL CODE BY
REVISING SECTION 5.95.350 TO ALLOW BINGO
GAME OPERATIONS TWO DAYS A WEEK INSTEAD
OF ONE DAY, WHEN CONDUCTED BY
CERTAIN LIMITED BINGO
PERMITTEES.WHEREAS, the City Council has a special concern for
the welfare of the city's older citizens;
and WHEREAS, the city Council adopted Ordinance No. 20-87
in July 1987 which relieved mobilehome park associations,
senior citizens'groups and similar organizations from some of the
regulations set forth in the basic bingo organizations, where
these regulations were not imposed under California Penal Code Section 326.
5; and WHEREAS, mobilehome park associations and
senior citizens'groups which applied and qualified became
Limited Bingo Permittees, subject to limitations on the number of
bingo players,the charge for bingo cards, and the amount of prize
money which could be
offered; and WHEREAS, certain other regulations were waived,
including the monthly and quarterly reporting requirement, if the
Limited Bingo Permittee follows a procedure which insures that all
bingo game receipts are expended as prize money on the same
day; and WHEREAS, the Council has received requests and
queries from some Limited Bingo Permittees to increase the playing
of bingo from one day to two days a
week; and WHEREAS, a review of the matter indicates that
approval of two days of bingo game operations per week instead of one
day by those Limited Bingo Permittees which expend all receipts
in the form of prizes on the same day would not cause
an unreasonable burden on the Orange Police Department which enforces
the bingo
ordinance; and WHEREAS, in the view of the City council, an
additional day of bingo game operations for limited bingo permittees
will provide amusement and pleasure to a much-valued segment of
the
City's population.NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council hereby
ordains as
