BACKGROUND Existing state law created in the State Treasury the Indian Gaming Revenue Sharing Trust and the Indian Gaming Special Distribution Fund for the receipt and deposit of moneys received by the state from Indian tribes pursuant to the terms of tribal-state gaming compacts and authorizes the expenditure of those funds for specified purposes. SB 621 (Battin) enacted on October 11, 2003, amended Section 12012.85 of, and added Chapter 7.5 (commencing with Section 12710) to Part 2 ofthe Government Code, related to Indian gaming. Section 12012.85, as amended, provides that funding deposited into the Indian Gaming Special Distribution Fund are available for specified purposes, including grants for the support of local government agencies impacted by tribal gaming. New Chapter 7.5 defines the process of awarding grants of Indian gaming revenue to local government agencies. Funding is deposited into each county's County Tribal Casino Account by a defined formula. The State Controller, acting in consultation with the California Gaming Control Commission, then divides the County Tribal Casino Account into Individual Tribal Casino Accounts for each tribe that operates a casino within the county based. The amount is based on the percentage that each individual tribe paid in the prior fiscal year to the Indian Gaming Special Distribution Fund. Each county in which Indian gaming is conducted created an Indian Gaming Local Community Benefit Committee. This committee reviews grant applications submitted by local government and makes recommendations for grant awards based on the following priorities: law enforcement, fire services, emergency medical services, environmental impacts, water supplies, waste disposal, behavioral, health, planning and adjacent land uses, public health, roads, recreation and youth programs, and child care programs. Grant awards selected by each county's Indian Gaming Local Community Benefit Committee are administered by the county. Sixty percent of each individual tribal casino account is available for nexus grants on a yearly basis to cities and counties according to the following four-part nexus test. . Whether the local government jurisdiction borders the tribal land on all sides. . Whether the local government jurisdiction partially borders tribal lands. . Whether the local government jurisdiction maintains a highway, road, or other thoroughfare that is the predominant access route to a casino that is located within four miles. . . Whether all or a portion of the local government jurisdiction is located within four miles of a casino. Available sixty percent nexus grant funds may be awarded to local government jurisdictions as follows: . Fifty percent is available to jurisdictions that meet all four of the nexus test criteria. . Thirty percent is available to jurisdictions that meet three of the nexus test criteria. . Twenty percent is available to jurisdictions that meet two of the nexus test criteria. The police department submitted a grant application requesting $577,983 in grant funds from the Indian Gaming Special Distribution Fund to mitigate the impacts associated with the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians Casino. Using funding from the Sixty Percent Nexus Grant, the police department will deploy two additional police officers each day, seven days a week to patrol and respond to calls for service in the area surrounding the casino. Their beat boundaries, hours of operations, and duties and responsibilities will be defined in a Memorandum of Understanding between the police department and sheriff's department that is under development. To accommodate this deployment, the police department will need five additional police officer positions added to the table of organization. Additionally, one police sergeant will be needed to maintain the appropriate, one supervisor for each five officers ratio required for adequate field supervision. The application also requested grant funding to purchase and equip two marked police units. Using the nexus test criteria, the Indian Gaming Local Community Benefit Committee has determined that the City of San Bernardino meets three of the four nexus test requirements and has awarded the police department the requested $577,983 grant. The Chief of Police has submitted the FY 04/05 Indian Gaming Local Community Benefit Grant expenditure plan outlining the approved grant expenditures (Exhibit A). FINANCIAL IMPACT The police department will be using $577,983 in FY 04/05 Indian Gaming Local Community Benefit Grant funds to cover the salaries and benefits of five additional police officer positions, one additional police sergeant's position, and two fully equipped marked police units. These positions would be eliminated in subsequent fiscal years should grant funding not be approved annually hereafter. RECOMMENDATION Adopt resolution. o c o RESOLue~.
