To: Board of Supervisors
From: David O. Livingston, Sheriff-Coroner
Report Title: Renewal of Cardroom License
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Sheriff-Coroner, or designee, to renew Cardroom License Number 6, known as "California Grand Casino," currently located at 5988 Pacheco Blvd., Pacheco, California, for the period of November 26, 2024 through November 25, 2025.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact to County funds. The applicant submitted $10,500, which includes $1,000 in application fees, plus $500 per table for the licensing of nineteen (19) card tables.
BACKGROUND:
In accordance with County Ordinance No. 82-44, Chapter 52-3, Article 52-3.3, Section 52-3.321, an application has been submitted by Mr. Lamar V. Wilkinson and Ms. Elizabeth Wilkinson for the renewal of Cardroom License Number 6, known as "California Grand Casino". The Office of the Sheriff conducted a background investigation of the applicants. The investigation produced no adverse information, which would preclude approval of this application. This Cardroom License will be issued to Mr. Lamar V. Wilkinson and Ms. Elizabeth Wilkinson, owners of the cardroom establishment. This request to the Board was delayed due to an administrative oversight during a peak contract period for the department.
The department is seeking approval of this retroactive contract due to an administrative delay caused by the substantial number of new contracts the Office of the Sheriff is currently handling.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Negative action will result in Cardroom License Number 6 not being renewed and the Cardroom will no longer be able to operate until a new license has been approved.
