STRATEGIC OUTCOME:
Approval of this Motion aligns with City Council’s Respected and Responsible strategic outcome as it provides notification and transparency of City processes to the public.
REPORT:
Turf Paradise obtained a Teletrack Wagering License to operate additional wagering facilities at Showcase Sports Bar in 2021. This license expired on May 31, 2024. David Johnson, Vice President of Turf Paradise, in conjunction with the owners of Showcase Sports Bar are requesting City Council’s approval to renew the Teletrack Wagering License. State racing licenses are granted for a three-year period; therefore, the renewal request is for an additional three-year term to coincide with the term of their State Racing License that expires on June 30, 2027. The owners of Showcase Sports Bar have expressed their support for this operation through a Teletrack Wagering Facility Agreement with Turf Paradise.
Approval of a Teletrack Wagering license, including the length of term, may be based on public input. Pursuant to the state statutes that govern Teletrack Wagering, the City Council may determine whether the proposed location is in the public’s best interest or convenience.
This request has been forwarded to Planning and Neighborhood Services, Police Department, Fire Department, Risk Management, and Business Licensing for review. No objections have been received.
Upon City Council approval, this request will be forwarded to the Arizona Department of Gaming for final processing.
