STAFF REPORT
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JEFF ALLRED, CITY MANAGER
DATE: MAY 25, 2010 UU
SUBJECT: INCREASE MAXIMUM BINGO PAYOUT TO $500
SUMMARY
Don Bosco Technical Institute has approached the City requesting the consideration of
amending the City's existing municiapal code section 5.20.110 to incease the maximum payout
from $250 to $500. The State maximum was increased on September 30, 2008 and the staff at
Don Bosco believe that they are losing participants to surrounding communities that currently
allow the payouts up to the $500 limit. Don Bosco is currently the only organization authorized
to conduct bingo within the City.
Staff Recommendation
That the City Council adopt.Ordinance 896 authorizing the amendment to Section 5.20.110 of
the Rosemead Municipal Code.
Fiscal Impact
The only direct costs associated with this item are the required publications in the San Gabriel
Valley Tribune. Don Bosco has offered to fund half the costs of these required publications
which are estimated at $500 in total.
PUBLIC NOTICE PROCESS
This item has been noticed through the regular agenda notification process and public
notices have been published in the San Gabriel Valley Tribune as required.
