RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SAN BERNARDINO SUPPORTING THE TAKING INTO TRUST BY THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT OF CERTAIN PROPERTY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE SAN MANUEL
BAND OF MISSION INDIANS.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SAN BERNARDINO AS FOLLOWS:
WHEREAS, the San Manuel Bank'! of Mission Indians is a
federally recognized tribe of American Indians which once occupied
lands throughout the San Bernardino area but now occupies a small
reservation near the City of San Bernardino; and,
WHEREAS, the San Manuel Band operates a gaming project on
its reservation that makes important contributions to the tribe by
providing job training, employment, health and educational
benefits, needed revenues to the tribal government, and general
self-sufficiency free from state or federal aid; and,
WHEREAS, the San Manuel gaming project provides important
benefits to the community at large in providing jobs to the
general population, supporting many local businesses and
suppliers, and making financial contributions to local schools and
charities, and which enjoys a good reputation generally in the
community and with law enforcement; and,
WHEREAS, the San Manuel Band plans to expand its gaming
facility but would like to do so at a site which would allow for
a greater variety of commercial development in connection with the
facility than might be possible on the present reservation site,
and the City finds that moving the gaming facility to such a site
would have numerous benefits to the City and its population,
including increased job opportunities, the development of retail

9 opportunities described above; and,
10 WHEREAS, in order for the San Manuel Band to occupy and
11 operate a gaming project and engage in such development the parcel
12 must be taken into trust by the federal government for the benefit
13 of the Band and as part of its reservation, and the City finds
14 that taking such land into trust would be in the best interest of
15 the San Manuel Band and its members and would be beneficial, and
16 not detrimental, to the surrounding community,
17 NOW THEREFORE, be it resolved that the City of San
18 Bernardino fully supports the taking of the subject property,
19 described in Exhibit A hereto, into trust by the United States for
20 the benefit of the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians and the
21 establishment of the San Manuel gaming establishment on such land
22 and that such entrustment and gaming establishment would be in the
23 best interest of the San Manuel Band and its members and would be
24 beneficial, and not detrimental, to the surrounding community,
25 subject to the fOllowing conditions:
26 a. That the San Manuel Band and the City enter into an
27 Agreement providing for the issues of moving the gaming
