CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
ST AFF REPORT
Subiect:
Resolution of the Mayor and Common Council of the City of San Bernardino ratifying the
submittal of two Indian Gaming Local Community Benefit grants in the amount of $525,637.81
for FY 08/09 and $985,241.00 for FY 09/10, and authorizing the expenditure of said grants for
the designated law enforcement purposes as outlined in the grant budgets.
Backl!round:
Section 12012.85 of the Government Code provides that funding deposited into the Indian
Gaming Special Distribution Fund (SDF) 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 that county. 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 Committee 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 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 on behalf of the Police Department 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 was used to
mitigate the impact of the San Manuel Band of Serrano Mission Indians Bingo and Casino
facility. Using grant funding for six (6) 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 on behalf of the Police Department 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
I
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 2007/2008, the Police Department was awarded a grant in the amount of $806,900.00 for
designated law enforcement and a grant in the amount of $398,190.20 for the Marsha1llLynwood
Street Improvement project. Additional funding that was carried over from 2005/2006 was used
to purchase a traffic support trailer equipped with traffic cones and barricades used to respond to
traffic congestion issues and to support emergency evacuations around the Reservation.
Unfortunately, at the end of FY 07/08 it was thought 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 staffrecommended 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, 2009 that
the Special Distribution Funds would be available to local jurisdiction through the grant process.
On January 29,2009 the IGLCBC met to discuss the distribution of the SDF. Assembly Bill 158
allows local jurisdictions to apply for grants for expenditures incurred in FY 08/09 and for future
expenditures for FY 09/10. The Committee decided to honor the historical process of having
local jurisdictions submit grant applications for approval and funding. 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 applications (attached herein) were submitted
to the County of San Bernardino by the grant deadline of February 20,2009. As required by AB
1 58, the IGLCBC administrative staff will be submitting the grant applications received to the
San Manuel Band of Mission Indians Tribal Council for review. The Tribe will determine which
grants are approved for sponsorship and submit a grant application summary back to the
IGLCBC for funding recommendations.
The IGLCBC is scheduled to review and begin the approval process of sponsored grant
applications on March 13, 2009. Once the grant awards have been determined, agreements will
be brought back to the Mayor and Common Council for approval.

Financial Impact:
The grant application for FY 08/09 totaled $984,698.00. After deducting the reallocated Street
Improvement grant with accrued interest and additional grant carryovers from 07/08, the grant
application totaled $ 525,637.81.
The FY 2008-09 budget assumed grant funding would be available for these seven sworn
positions (six officers and one sergeant). The FY 08/09 budget will have to be amended to
reflect the equipment purchases and traffic services.
In addition, if the grant application for FY 09/10 is awarded in the amount of$ 985,241.00 all
funds will be allocated for the salaries and benefits of six police officers and one police sergeant
position and the designated support equipment. However, if this grant is not awarded at the full
amount requested, the City of San Bernardino will enter into a Memorandum of Understanding
with the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians that will continue the funding of the designated
services.
Recommendation:
I. Adopt resolution.
