The Committee recommended that Doug Upton be notified that the County considers him to be in default and intends to terminate his lease as of November 24. There were two other people"iinterested in operating the racetrack, however, because of the length of time that the track will sit unused, one of the applicants withdrew his proposal. The Legal Department has recommended that the County enter into license agreements as opposed to lease agreements in the future because they can be cancelled upon notice without having to wait a specified period of time. 54 SEP 13 1988 BOOK 74 rAu 197
