San Diego County Fair Board of Directors 2260 Jimmy Durante Blvd. Del Mar, CA 92014

Dear Board of Directors:

34 th Modoc District Fair FINANCIALD ASSISTANCE PLAN PROPOSAL i As per the San Diego Countys Board of Directors request October 9, 2012, the following is background information about the 34 theth proposedDistrict scope for additionalt funding and request for financial assistance: Agriculturalr AssociatioHistory of Modoc Districti Fair n, c ModoThe 34 t northeasterlycth corner of California in Cedarville, CA, in the county of Modoc.

The area spans approximately 4,203 ursquare miles with an extendedu service area of approximately 4000 square miles. The total populational of Modoc Countyl is 9,747. The "Valley" is a 70-mile long corridor bordered by OregonA to the North, the Warnert Mountain Range on the West, the Nevada Hays Mountain Ranges on the East and the Modoc/Lassen County line to the South. u s Theo fairgrounds, hospital, rclinic, elementary and high schools are located in Cedarville. The economyci is largely agriculture,a e.g., cattle, sheep, commercial alfalfa and hay and small independentlyat owned businesses.l The Warner Mountain Range is timberland that includes a protected wilderness area and the Hayes Mountain Range has several hundred square miles of io A n, M s o s d o o c c i D i a s t t i r o i n c t F a i r , i s l o c a t e d i n t h e m o s t public grazing rangelands. Because of these public owned lands, there are U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management offices located in Cedarville also. Approximately, 80% of land in Modoc County are owned by Bureau Land Management and U.S. Forest Service.

The only State access road out of the "Valley" is Highway 299 to the West over a 6300' mountain pass over the Warner Mountains. There are no paved roads to the East and the access road to the North and South is a Modoc County owned and maintained road.

The Modoc District Fair has been providing an annual Fair to Modoc County and surrounding areas since 1920. In 1935 the Modoc District Fair became eligible for state funds through horse racing revenues. Horse racing revenues continued to provide funding for California fairs throughout the State until 2008, when funding for Fairs became part of the General Fund. In July 2012 funding for California Fairs through the State of California was completely eliminated.

The fairgrounds consist of 68 acres, approximately 61 acres of which belong to Modoc County and approximately 7 acres to the State of California. Currently, the 34 thAssociation District has a $1, Agricultural 25 year lease for use of the grounds as a Fair with Modoc County that will expire in 2015.

The grounds consist of 2 beef barns (approximately 10,000 sq. ft.), 1 sheep barn (5,000 sq ft), 4 horse stall barns (15,000 sq ft.), arena and corrals (60,000 sq. ft.), Louisville Historical site, concession stands (400 sq ft), Junior Building (4,000 sq ft), 4 Seasons Building (4,750 sq ft includes commercial kitchen), Commercial Building (5,000 sq ft), Dance Hall (5,000 sq ft), Floriculture Building (2,850 sq ft), Agriculture Building (5,000 sq ft), 2 Shop Buildings (5,000 sq ft), Administrative Building (1,302 sq ft.), Rental House (2,000 sq ft) baseball field, tennis court, horseshoe pit area and motorsports dirt race track. The grounds also has 27 RV sites available for public use with water and electric hookups. A dump station is also located on the grounds.

During the fair off season the fairgrounds rents the facilities to non-profit organizations, businesses and individuals for various events including fundraising events, storage, weddings, school activities, fire camps, 4-H and Future Farmer's of America activities, quincinara's, school and family reunions, horse shows, livestock events, Motorsports races, little league, softball, youth soccer, memorial services, field days, blood drives, Public Health Immunization Clinics, CHP and Sheriff's Department training sessions, BLM and Forest Service training sessions, vacation bible school, charter school, livestock shipments and fire camps. Non-profit organizations and youth groups are allowed to waive fees in exchange for volunteer services throughout the year. Fairgrounds are vital to small communities as the facilities are typically used in crisis situations or disaster emergencies as they are capable of utilizing all of their services for food and shelter for both humans and animals. The facilities are also used as cooling centers during extreme heat conditions. The 34 theth evacuationDistrict site for any major disaster that occurs in Modoc County as it has the largest Agriculturalholding capacity in the whole County. Association isOrganizations that routinely utilize the fairgrounds are the Surprise Valley Rotary Club, Surprise currentlValley Chamber of Commerce, Cedarville Volunteer Fire Department, Eagleville Volunteer Fire yDepartment, Lake City Volunteer Fire Department, Fort Bidwell Volunteer Fire Department, Surprise Valley Future Farmers of America, Surprise Valley 4-H Club, Surprise Valley Health Care District, Surprise Valley High School and Elementary School, Surprise Valley VFW, Surprise Valley Electric Corporation, Modoc Forum, Alturas Lion's Club, Alturas Rotary Clubs and many others throughout Modoc County. The U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management also utilize the fairgrounds for training purposes and fire camp during the fire season.

The Fair office is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. The fairgrounds are open 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, to allow utilization for everyone when necessary. Fair staff is limited to one part-time Manager and one full-time Maintenance position. Two part-time assistants are hired during the summer months June through August. During the Fair approximately 12 people are hired during the four days of Fair and 3 livestock coordinators and 1 cleaning person begin the second week of August. Approximately $40,000 is budgeted for Fair entertainment. Operating revenue is not sufficient to fund equipment purchases or building- related projects. With the unexpected increase in fuel prices, there is an unexpected impact to the Budget, as well as, assuming all the debt responsibility that the Division of Fairs and Expositions paid for Fairs. Currently the 34 thdepleted DAA approximately is spring of 2013. The lay off procedure for the two remaining employees runninghas been implemented. on reserveThe District has an outstanding Maintenance Department that is capable of repairing and keeping fundall of our equipment in operable condition. The District also has the storage capacity to house all sof our equipment to keep it in top working condition. The community is very supportive of the anannual fair and fairgrounds. We collect over $25,000 in voluntary contributions for sponsorship dof the annual events held at the fairgrounds. Annually we have over 200 volunteers in the form thoof individuals and non-profit organizations that graciously give their time and energy to assist sewith the livestock shows, still exhibit entries, building attendants, security, upkeep and whatever funit takes to keep the fairgrounds attractive and operable. ds wiLoss of Funding Background ll bFinancial stability for small fairs throughout the State of California is becoming more difficult edue to the elimination of Fair funding from the State of California. Class I small fairs were allocated $199,000 from the State of California, Fairs and Expositions Department annually. In addition, our Fair received approximately $30,000 in supplemental funding from the State of California from the fair rating fund. This amount is supplemented from the interim events held at the fairgrounds; i.e., rental of buildings, the annual Fair and fundraising events sponsored by the Modoc District Fair Board of Directors which generate approximately $130,000. The annual Budget for the 34 thconsistent DAA for revenues during the past 10 years. The District has tried various fundraising isactivities, (i.e., recycling event, cioppino feed, Cattlemen's Benefit Auction, benefit dinners) approxduring the past two years and those events generate from $1,00045,000 in additional revenue. imatelThe District is limited in the ability to generate needed revenue by the current economic crisis, ysparsely populated area, and the frontier rural remote location of our fairgrounds. $35 At5,00 our Board meeting, July 24, 2012, the Modoc County CEO and two members of the Modoc 0.County Board of Supervisors, were invited to attend the meeting to discuss the possibility of FinModoc County taking over operations of the Fair. The idea was met with resistance as the ancCounty is in no financial condition to take on another department as they are currently ial$15,000,000 in debt to the County and working with the State Controllers office to come to an sagreement to fund the debt. The Board of Directors has also discussed the option of non-profit f o r t h e Di st ri ct h a v e b e e n v e r y governance, however, in researching Modoc County non-profit organization fundraising revenues, approximately $30,000 is the most generated by non-profits annually and this is not enough money to fund operations of the District.

At Western Fairs Association and California Fairs Alliance meetings larger fairs and fairs that are operating with profit margins have discussed the idea of adopting a fair, or becoming sister fairs, with the idea of assisting small rural fairs that are in jeopardy of closing, for the short term, to allow the fair network to come up with alternative funding solutions or give the fairs the chance to become entrepreneurial and give them the opportunity to implement revenue generating ideas. The Modoc District Fair, 34 1hSan DiegoDAA, County Fair.would like to Proposedentertain Revenue Scope this Theidea Modoc District Fair is not requesting financial assistance for charity purposes. The reason withfor requesting financial assistance is to give the Fair financial stability in order to research and theimplement revenue generating ideas that will increase revenues for the Fair and allow us to become self sustainable. In order to do that, the Fair must become a revenue generating business which is a new concept for the Fair industry. The following are ideas for revenue generation and estimated revenues. Implementation of these ideas take time to implement and also time to establish customer clientele.

Ideas planned for research and development which utilize the natural resources and exploitation of the history of our area include the following:

Plan Est. Revenue

1. Guided Wagon Train Tours— Contract with a wagon $15,000 train expert who will provide wagons, horses, gear, meals, entertainment, and provide 4-5 tours from spring to fall and re-enact guided 3-4 day tours over historical trails from Nevada over the Lassen trail and Applegate trails which will end at the Fairgrounds.

2. Cattle Drives with Local Ranchers — Local ranchers $ 8,000 have offered to take up to 2 individuals to assist with herding cattle during the spring and fall when driving cattle to pasture in the spring and gathering cattle and bringing them home in the fall.

3. Guided Horseback Tours — Offer guided tours of $20,000 historical sites and majestic sites in Modoc County during the spring, summer and fall.

4. Burning Man Vendor Possibilities — Become a vendor $ 8,000 for Burning Man traffic (approximately 30,000 individuals) offering sales items (i.e., showers, sweatshirts, eccentric items, entertainment, camping, etc.) over the Labor Day weekend.

5. Lodging Stays Combined with Local Activities — Raffles $10,000 featuring donated lodging at popular locations or lodges combined with golfing, squirrel hunts, bird hunts, coyote hunts or activities with local non-profit organization activities. Raffle or auction antique cars, tractors, wagons, etc.

6. Mountain Bicycle Races or Tours — Implement mountain $15,000 bicycle races or tours over mountain passes or high desert plateaus. Implement one race or tour per month during the summer and fall.

7. Rally Site for RV Groups and Motorcycle Groups — $ 7,500 Advertise facilities for RV tours and motorcycle tours and provide lodging and meals.

8. Goodwill Sponsorships — Contact corporate sponsors $Unknown and introduce the concept of goodwill sponsorhips.

TOTAL: $83,500

The above estimates for revenue are very conservative realizing it takes time to implement and build business opportunities.

Project Time Frame

Due to the remote rural location of facilities and the elevation and inclement weather in our area, the window of opportunity for functions and activities at the fairgrounds is from mid May to the middle of October. During the winter months the grounds must be winterized and certain areas of the grounds are not usable during the winter months.

1. Reach out to County Communities seeking 1 Month support and donations, volunteers to implement ideas.

2. Research and obtain permits from Bureau of 3 Months Land Management and U.S. Forest Service, Modoc County and other agencies to implement guided tours.

3. Schedule and Advertise Events 3 Months

4. Hire Qualified Individuals as event guides 2 Months

5. Window of Opportunity for Events (May to October) 5 Months

Total estimated project time from design to implementation 6 Months Budget

Projected Income 2013 Amount

TOTAL EXPENSES $377,700

Potential New Business Expenses Unknown The above Budget reflects the ability to operate for the entire year of 2013, however, the reality is there are only enough funds in our operating account to run until June 30, 2013. The increase in administrative expenses are due to the absorption of costs of audits and additional insurance expenses. The employee layoff plan has been implemented for the two remaining staff members of the Modoc District Fair. The Division of Fairs and Expositions has been notified that the Modoc District Fair will cease operations by June 30, 2013, due to the elimination of Fair funding and the depletion of all remaining reserve funds.

Request

As reflected in the above Budget the difference between income and expenses is projected at a loss of ($55,200), with the revenue from proposed new revenue sources included. Without the new revenue sources there is a projected loss of ($138,700). In order to implement the new revenue sources the Modoc District Fair will need financial assistance for set up and implementation costs. The Modoc District Fair is proposing a request of $100,000 from the San Diego County Fair for start-up costs for the new proposed revenue plan. There will be associated costs for marketing, staffing, permits, etc. We are requesting your assistance to help us with a new vision and self supporting business venture for small rural fairs.

Summary

As stated above, the Modoc District Fair is not requesting financial assistance from the San Diego County Fair for charity or to continue to operate as fairs have in the past. Initially, when Fair funding was eliminated completely, all Fairs believed there would be legislative action to reinstate fair funding. We all worked with Western Fairs Association and California Fairs Alliance for months to no avail. Then came the realization that Fairs must become self sustainable. Because of our geographic location and rural remoteness, the Modoc District Fair is in a unique situation in that the funding required to operate cannot be generated locally. Therefore, the Modoc District Fair has been exploring all funding alternatives. When the concept of the "Adopt a Fair" or "Sister Fair" was mentioned all Fairs had the opportunity to reach out to the larger profitable fairs to seek financial assistance, for the short term, to allow them the opportunity to implement revenue generating ideas. This concept also allows Fairs to utilize and share the expertise and resources of the larger Fairs that smaller Fairs do not have. The Modoc District Fair is the only Fair in the State of California that took this initiative. The reason the Modoc District Fair is seeking financial assistance from the San Diego County Fair is to give us the additional finances needed in order to implement the proposed revenue generating plan ideas and allow the Fair the time required to generate the projected revenue. The letters of support received indicate the county's support and just how important the survival of our Fair is to the communities of Modoc County. We again, ask for your consideration and hope you will look favorably upon our proposed plan.

Sincerely,

In an effort to widen the distribution of the California horse racing signal at brick-and-mortar sites, the California State Legislature approved the development of up to 45 Mini Satellites in 2007.

Since 1989, satellite wagering on horse racing in California was legislatively approved for race tracks and Fairs only. At that time, there were 23 satellite facilities in California where gamblers could place bets on horse races and then view them live on closed-circuit television. The focus for development of Mini Satellites is with restaurants and sports bars.

Mini satellites, as all satellites, are regulated and licensed by the California Horse Racing Board (CHRB). Depending upon their location, northern or southern California, each Mini Satellite must enter into a contract with Southern California Off-Track Wagering, Inc. (SCOTWinc) or Northern California Off-Track Wagering, Inc. (NCOTWinc), corporate entities established and owned by the racetracks in California for the purpose of hiring and managing mutuel clerks and totalisator equipment. Finally, Mini Satellites must be approved by the local city or jurisdiction.

There are geographic restrictions in certain circumstances. If a prospective restaurant or sports bar is located within a 20-mile radius of an existing racetrack or satellite facility, a waiver must be requested by the applicant, and granted by that existing racetrack or satellite facility.

Presently, there are four Mini Satellites operating in southern California. The cities represented are: San Clemente, Santa Maria, Santa Clarita, and Commerce (near Inglewood).

OC Tavern in San Clemente has been open since December 26, 2010. This Mini Satellite has been very successful. In 2012, they are on-track to handle more than $8M, or an average of $35,000 per day. Prior to the opening of OC Tavern, many customers in south Orange County and Orange County, were regular Surfside players. It is estimated that Surfside losses are 40% of the OC Tavern totals, including admissions, food and beverage, and other revenues from papers and handicapping sheets. However, since OC Tavern is 38 miles from Surfside, it falls outside the boundaries of the 20-mile protection zone for nearby satellites. On an annual basis, forty percent of the OC Tavern handle represents a loss of handle revenue for Surfside of approximately $64,000; loss of admissions to Surfside may be as much as $25,000. Conservatively, Surfside's annual net income losses may exceed $150,000 from all direct revenue and ancillary revenue sources.

Conversely, the addition of a Mini Satellite inside the 20-mile protection zone of Surfside is expected to have a positive effect. With the ability to negotiate a "rights" fee with the Mini Satellite inside our zone, we expect to generate between $100,000 and $150,000 in net annual revenue, with minimal incremental costs. The opening of the Mini Satellite in the Gaslamp Quarter is currently being discussed and if licensed through the CHRB it could potentially open as early as late January 2013. It is anticipated that a contract between the facility and the 22 ndDAA would come before this body at the January board meeting. COMMUNITY RELATIONS COMMITTEE
