obligations of the City; that it is an Agreement that implements and
carries out the Statute and sets forth, in effect, the same rights
and obligations of the City, Los Angeles Turf Club, Inc., Santa Anita
Realty Enterprises, Inc., and Oak Tree Racing Association, as are
contemplated by the Statute, and does not go beyond the Statute as
far as these matters are concerned." MOTION seconded by Councilman
Hannah and carried on roll call vote as follows:
