Mayor Gordon Bricken joined the meeting at <br />2:24 p.m. <br /> <br />WORK STUDY SESSION The City Manager reviewed the <br />BINGO ORDINANCE issues related to the playing <br /> of bingo in the City of Santa <br /> Ana -- namely, that while <br /> bingo was permitted as a means <br />of raising funds for charitable purposes, Santa Aha desired to avoid <br />"professionalization" of bingo games to reduce negative "side effects" <br />such as parking problems, and to insure proper audit control of those <br />organizations with bingo operations. <br /> <br />The Police Chief reported that more and more organizations were locating <br />their operations in Santa Ana, due to the lenient regulation by the City, <br />particularly the permitting of bingo operations three days per week. He <br />added that bingo operations were "big business," "skimming" was extremely <br />difficult to detect, and that he doubted if it were possible to collect <br />sufficient revenues from bingo operations to pay for Police enforcement of <br />bingo regulations. The Police Chief responded to specific questions from <br />Councilmembers.
