RESOLUTION 99-
THE FOLLOWING RESOLUTION WAS ADOPTED BY THE COUNCIL OF
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS IN SEMINOLE COUNTY, FLORIDA, AT THEIR
REGULARLY SCHEDULED MEETING ON THE 7TH DAY OF APRIL, 1999.
WHEREAS, the Council of Local Governments in Seminole County (CALNO) and the
Seminole County Legislative Delegation have a strong working relationship; and
WHEREAS, the Seminole County Legislative Delegation has been responsive to the
needs of the citizens of Seminole County throughout the years; and
WHEREAS, in November, 1996 the citizens of Seminole County voted to amend the
Seminole County Home Rule Charter to prohibit casino gambling in Seminole County unless
approved by referendum election within the County; and
WHEREAS, the Seminole County Comprehensive Plan and the Land Development
Code of Seminote County have been amended to conform to the provisions of the County
Charter; and
WHEREAS, nun.lerous bills (such as House Bills 1453, 1455, 1457, 1459 and 1461 and
Senate Bills 2176, 2178, 2180, 2182 and 2184) would, under the guise of expanding the State
Lottery, penuit casino games which are defined as "video lotteries", although the authorization of
such games would clearly violate the provisions of the Constitution of the State of FIOlida; and
other bills, such as House Bill 707 and Senate Bill 962 relating to compulsive gambling, could be
amended to permit so-called "video lotteries"; and
WHEREAS, the Seminole County Legislative Delegation would greatly benefit the
citizens of Seminole County by ensuring the defeat of any and all legislation that penuits "video
lotteries" or other casino games which are ruses that purport to be part of the State Lottery; and
WHEREAS, CALNO desires to express the genuine concern of the citizens of Seminole
County to the members of the Seminole County Legislative Delegation relative to the proposed
legislation.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF LOCAL
C..oVERNMENTS IN SEMINOLE COUNTY (CALNO) THAT:
1) The members of the Seminole County Legislative Delegation are hereby urged to
defeat the proposed legislation relating to so-called "video lotteries" and any and all
similar legislation.
2) CALNO, in the strongest possible way, condenms all attempts to circumvent the
Constitution of the State of Florida by permitting casino games under the ruse of
expanding the State Lottery.
3) A certified copy of this Resolution shall be provided to each member of the Sem.inole
County Legislative Delegation and the mayor of each city located within the County.
