CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
Subiect:
Resolution of the Mayor and Common Council of the City of San Bernardino ratifying the
submittal of the Indian Gaming Local Community Benefit grant in the amount of$1,328,204.00
for FY 2011-12 and authorizing the expenditure of said grant for the designated law enforcement
purposes as outlined in the grant budget.
Background:
Section 12012.85 of the Government Code 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. 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 it is geographically located. The amount is based on the percentage that each
individual tribe paid in the prior fiscal year to the Indian Gaming Special Distribution Fund.
In FY 2004-05, the City of San Bernardino, on behalf of the Police Department, was the
recipient of an Indian Gaming Local Community Benefit grant in the amount of $578,501.95
from the Indian Gaming Special Distribution Fund. This grant funding was used to mitigate the
impact of the San Manuel Band of Serrano Indians Bingo and Casino facility. Using grant
funding, the Police Department deployed two additional police officers each day, seven days a
week to patrol and respond to calls for service in the area surrounding the casino. To
accommodate this deployment, the police department added five additional police officer
positions to the organization. One police sergeant's position was added to maintain the
appropriate, one supervisor for each five officers ratio required for adequate field supervision.
Additionally, grant funding was used to purchase two marked police units.
For FY 2005-06, the City of San Bernardino was the recipient of an Indian Gaming Local
Community Benefit Committee grant in the amount of$700,000 from the Indian Gaming Special
Distribution Fund. This grant funding was used to mitigate the impact of the San Manuel Band
of Serrano Mission Indians Bingo and Casino facility. Using grant funding for six police officer
positions, the Police Department deployed two additional police officers each day, seven days a
week to patrol and respond to calls for service in the area surrounding the casino facility. One
police sergeant's position was funded to maintain the appropriate, one supervisor for each five
officers ratio required for adequate field supervision.
For FY 2006-07, the City of San Bernardino was once again the recipient of an Indian Gaming
Local Community Benefit Committee grant in the amount of$700,000 from the Indian Gaming
Special Distribution Fund. This grant funding was used to mitigate the impact of the San
Manuel Band of Serrano Mission Indians Bingo and Casino facility by continuing the
1
deployment of the six police officer positions and one police sergeant each day, seven days a
week to patrol and respond to calls for service in the area surrounding the casino facility.
For FY 2007-08, the City of San Bernardino on behalf of the Police Department was once again
the recipient of an Indian Gaming Local Community Benefit Committee grant in the amount of
$806,900 from the Indian Gaming Special Distribution Fund. This grant funding was used to
mitigate the impact of the San Manuel Band of Serrano Mission Indians Bingo and Casino
facility by continuing the deployment of the six police officer positions and one police sergeant
each day, seven days a week to patrol and respond to calls for service in the area surrounding the
casino facility. In addition, the City of San Bernardino used carryover funds to purchase a traffic
response trailer equipped with traffic cones and barricades used to respond to traffic congestion
issues and to support emergency evacuations around the Reservation.
In addition to being awarded the grant for policing services, in FY 2007-08 the City of San
Bernardino was the recipient of a grant for $398,190.82 for the Marshall Blvd. & Lynwood Ave.
Street Improvement Project.
Unfortunately, at the end of FY 2007-08 it was the belief of the Indian Gaming Local
Community Benefit Committee that the grant funds received through the Special Distribution
Fund would no longer be available to local jurisdictions due to the Governor's vetoing of the
funds. Therefore, on November 3, 2008, city staff recommended the reallocation of the
Marshall/Lynwood Street Improvement Project grant received on April 19, 2007 for law
enforcement services for FY 2008-09.
Subsequent to this action, California State Assembly Majority Leader Anthony Torrico authored
Assembly Bill 158. The purpose of AB 158 was to enact changes to the way the SDF grants
were distributed and accounted for in a manner that would address the concerns raised by the
Governor's veto of the funds. The County of San Bernardino was notified in January of 2009
that the Special Distribution Funds would be available to local jurisdictions through the grant
process.
The grant application for FY 2008-09 totaled $984,698.00. After deducting the reallocated
Street Improvement grant monies with accrued interest and the additional grant carryovers form
FY 2007-08, the total amount awarded was $ 525,637.81. This grant funding was used to
mitigate the impact of the Casino facility by continuing the deployment and to backfill any
expenditures for FY 2008-09 for the salaries and benefits for six officers and one police sergeant
position, as well as the necessary support equipment.
For FY 2009-10 the City of San Bernardino was awarded grant funds in the amount of
$985,241.00 for the continued deployment of the six police officers and one police sergeant
position each day, seven days a week to patrol the area around the reservation. In addition to
salaries and benefits, funds were used for designated support equipment.
For FY 2010-11 the City of San Bernardino and the San Manuel Band of Serrano Mission
Indians entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to continue funding the
2
designated services with the caveat that if Special Distribution Funds were to come available
during any period of the MOU, the City would apply for a grant to be designated for policing
services and designated support equipment.
In October 2010, the Governor of California approved a 2010-11 budget trailer bill, Senate Bill
856, that included an appropriation of$30,000,000 from the Indian Gaming Special Distribution
Fund to provide local government agencies with grant funds for mitigating the impacts of tribal
gaming. This appropriation restored funding originally deleted from the State's 2007-08 budget.
Of the $30 million available, the State Controller's Office has determined that San Bernardino
Local Government Jurisdictions (Cities, County, and Special Districts) are eligible to receive a
total of $2,031,589.61. After deducting the 2% administrative cost allocated to the County,
$1,990,958 is available in the Indian Gaming Local Distribution Fund for local grant awards.
The Chief of Police has determined the staffing and equipment needs for the Police Department
to mitigate the impact of the casino facility. Grant funding will be utilized to fund the
expenditures as outlined in the grant budget and narrative.
The City of San Bernardino respectfully submitted the attached grant application in the amount
of$1,328,204.00 to the County of San Bernardino Administrative Office by the grant deadline of
March 31, 2011. As required by AB 158, the County Administrative Office will be submitting
qualified grant applications and project descriptions received to the San Manuel Band of Mission
Indians Tribal Council for review by April 8, 2011. The Tribe will determine which grants are
approved for sponsorship and submit letters of support and a prioritized list of projects to the
Indian Gaming Local Community Benefit Committee and the County Administrative Office by
April 22, 2011. The IGLCBC is scheduled to meet to fund the sponsored grant applications on
May 5, 2011.
The IGLCBC is comprised of seven members as determined by SB 621; two Tribal Members;
two County Supervisors; and three local elected officials from impacted cities. Current members
include: Tribal Members Lyn Valbuena and Audrey Martinez; County Supervisors Neil Derry
and Janice Rutherford; City Elected Officials Mayor Patrick J. Morris, Council member Rikke
Van Johnson from the City of San Bernardino, and Council member Larry McCallon from the
City of Highland.
The deadline for submittal of approved projects to the State Controller is May 13, 2011. Once
the grant is approved and awards have been determined, an agreement will be brought back to
the Mayor and Common Council for approval.
Financial Impact:
If the grant application for FY 11/12 is awarded in the requested amount of$1,328,204.00 all
funds will be allocated for the salaries and benefits and designated support equipment as
described in the grant application. However, if the grant award is not at the full amount
requested, the City of San Bernardino will be able to request additional funding via the
Memorandum of Understanding with the San Manuel band of Mission Indians that will continue
the funding of designated services.

Gaming Special Distribution Fund are available for specified purposes, including grants for the
support of local government agencies impacted by tribal gaming. 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 it is geographically located. The amount is based on the percentage that each
individual tribe paid in the prior fiscal year to the Indian Gaming Special Distribution Fund.
In FY 2004/05, the City of San Bernardino, on behalf of the Police Department, was the recipient
of an Indian Gaming Local Community Benefit grant in the amount of $578,501.95 from the
Indian Gaming Special Distribution Fund. Grant funding was used to mitigate the impact of the
San Manuel Band of Serrano Indians' Bingo and Casino facility. Using grant funding, the police
department deployed two additional police officers each day, seven days a week to patrol and
i
respond to calls for service in the area surrounding the casino. To accommodate this
deployment, the police department added five additional police officer positions to the table of
organization. One police sergeant's position was added to maintain the appropriate, one
supervisor for each five officers ratio required for adequate field supervision. Additionally, grant
funding was used to purchase two marked police units.
For FY 2005/06, the City of San Bernardino was the recipient of an Indian Gaming Local
Community Benefit Committee grant in the amount of$700,000 from the Indian Gaming Special
Distribution Fund. Grant funding as used to mitigate the impact of the San Manuel Band of

police sergeant's position was funded to maintain the appropriate, one supervisor for each five
officers ratio required for adequate field supervision.
For FY 2006/07, the City of San Bernardino was once again the recipient of an Indian Gaming
Local Community Benefit Committee grant in the amount of$700,000 from the Indian Gaming
Special Distribution Fund. Grant funding was used to mitigate the impact of the San Manuel
Band of Serrano Mission Indians Bingo and Casino facility by continuing the deployment of six
(6) police officer positions and one police sergeant each day, seven days a week to patrol and
respond to calls for service in the area surrounding the casino facility.
For FY 2007/08, the City of San Bernardino on behalf of the Police Department was once again
the recipient of an Indian Gaming Local Community Benefit Committee grant in the amount of
I
$806,900 from the Indian Gaming Special Distribution Fund. Grant funding was used to
mitigate the impact of the San Manuel Band of Serrano Mission Indians Bingo and Casino
facility by continuing the deployment of six (6) police officer positions and one police sergeant
each day, seven days a week to patrol and respond to calls for service in the area surrounding the
casino facility. In addition, the City of San Bernardino used carryover funds to purchase a traffic
response trailer equipped with traffic cones and barricades used to respond to traffic congestion
issues and to support emergency evacuations around the Reservation.
i
In addition to being awarded the grant for policing services, the City of San Bernardino was the
recipient of a grant for$398,190.82 for the Marshall Blvd. & Lynwood Ave. Street Improvement
Project.
Unfortunately, at the end of FY 07/08 it was the belief of the Indian Gaming Local Community
Benefit Committee that the grant funds received through the Special Distribution Fund would no
longer be available to local jurisdictions due to the Governor's vetoing of the funds. Therefore,
on November 3, 2008, city staff recommended the reallocation of the Marshall/Lynwood Street
Improvement Project grant received on April 19, 2007 for law enforcement services for FY
08/09.
Subsequent to this action, California State Assembly Majority Leader Anthony Torrico authored
Assembly Bill 158. The purpose of AB 158 was to enact changes to the way the SDF grants
were distributed and accounted for in a manner that would address the concerns raised by the
Governor's veto of the funds. The County of San Bernardino was notified in January of 2009
that the Special Distribution Funds would be available to local jurisdictions through the grant
process.
The grant application for FY 08/09 totaled $984,698.00. After deducting the reallocated Street
Improvement grant monies with accrued interest and the additional grant carryovers form FY
07/08, the total amount awarded was $ 525,637.81. Grant funding was used to mitigate the
impact of the Casino facility by continuing the deployment and to backfill any expenditures for
FY 08/09 for the salaries and benefits for six officers and one police sergeant position, as well as
the necessary support equipment.
For FY 09/10 the City of San Bernardino was awarded grant funds in the amount of$985,241.00
for the continued deployment of six (6) police officers and one police sergeant position each day,
seven days a week to patrol the area around the reservation. In addition to salaries and benefits,
funds were used for designated support equipment.
For FY 10/11 the City of San Bernardino and the San Manuel Band of Serrano Mission Indians
entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to continue funding the designated
services with the caveat that if Special Distribution Funds were to come available during any
period of the MOU, the City would apply for a grant to be designated for policing services and
designated support equipment.
In October 2010, the Governor of California approved a 2010/2011 budget trailer bill — Senate
Bill 856 that included an appropriation of $30,000,000 from the Indian Gaming Special
2
6
Distribution Fund to provide local government agencies with grant funds for mitigating the
impacts of tribal gaming. This appropriation restored funding originally deleted from the State's
2007/2008 budget. Of the $30 million available, the State Controller's Office has determined
that San Bernardino Local Government Jurisdictions (Cities, County, and Special Districts) are
eligible to receive a total of$2,031,589.61. After deducting the 2% administrative cost allocated
to the County, $1,990,958 is available in the Indian Gaming Local Distribution Fund for local
grant awards.
The Chief of Police has determined the staffing and equipment needs for the Police Department
to mitigate the impact of the casino facility and the City of San Bernardino is respectfully
submitting a grant application in the amount of$1,328,204.00. Grant funding will be utilized to
fund the expenditures as outlined in the grant budget and narrative.
