AS JOE IS PROBABLY --
WRAPPING UP HIS SHOP MOVING
TOWARDS --
THE FALL IN THE END OF THE JERRY
BROWN ADMINISTRATION --
MY UNION AND I KNOW MANY MANY

AGREEMENTS THAT WORK FOR
EVERYONE AND THAT WORK FOR THE
INDUSTRY AT LARGE --
OVER THE YEARS --
DO THE AND A NUMBER OF TRIBES
SOME OF THE LARGEST AND MOST
SUCCESSFUL CASINOS IN THE STATE.
THE ORCHARD DE YORKSHIRE DE HATE
BAND OF WYNTON INDIANS HAD
AUBURN INDIAN COMMUNITY POLYP
END OF MISSION INDIANS THE GREAT
IN RANCHERIA THE LYTTON BAND OF
POMO INDIANS.
BAHAMA WILL TRY ALL OF THEM HAVE
WORKED OUT AGREEMENTS WITH THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA.

SEVEN THOUSAND WORKERS IN THIS
INDUSTRY.
THAT A NEGOTIATE WITH THEIR
EMPLOYERS BOMB HAVE LIVING WAGES

DEPEND ON TOM.
AND IT HAS NOT ONLY NOT ONLY
HAVE THESE AGREEMENTS RISEN THE
TRIBE UP OUT OF POVERTY.
IT'S HELPED THE WORKERS WHO WORK

POSITIVE THING FOR THE ENTIRE
COMMUNITY IT'S JUST A VERY VERY
COMPREHENSIVE WAY OF OF LOOKING
AT THAT THIS INDUSTRY.
HOWEVER AND AND AND THE
AGREEMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE
OVER TIME WITH THE ARM WITH THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
AND MOST RECENTLY THROUGH THIS
GOVERNOR'S OFFICE AND JOE JONES
HARD WORK --
HAVING SAID THAT I THINK IT'S
IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT.
BRITAIN AGREEMENTS ARE WRITTEN
AGREEMENTS AND THEIR THEIR THE
INTENTION OF THE PARTIES.
WHAT THE WHAT WHAT MAKES THEM
REAL AND WHAT MAKES THEM WORK TO
WEIGH THE ONES I JUST DESCRIBED
HAVE WORKED IS GOOD FAITH?
AND I THINK WE ALL KNOW THAT.
A WRITTEN AGREEMENT ISN'T WORTH
THE PAPER IT'S WRITTEN ON UNLESS

NEXT WEEK WILL BE UP HERE WITH
SCORES OF WORKERS AND COMMUNITY
MEMBERS --
WHO ARE UPSET WITH THE BAD FAITH
REGARDING THE SHINGLE SPIT

HOWEVER THAT INTERDICTION OF
THIS BILL AND TO THE STAFF AND
FOR THEIR HARD WORK.
MY NAME IS RUSSELL AT A VERY.
AND I'M CHAIRMAN OF THE GROUP
TRIBESMEN.
AND HERE OBVIOUSLY TO PROVIDE
INFORMATION ABOUT THE FIRST
AMENDMENT TO OUR TRIBAL STATE
COMPACT THE CREEK TRIBE IS THE
SECOND LARGEST TRIBE IN
CALIFORNIA.
WITH OVER THIRTY EIGHT HUNDRED
MEMBERS AND DESCENDED SERVICE
MANY THE EXCEEDS.
FOUR THOUSAND WE'RE LOCATED
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA NEAR THE
OREGON BORDER AND HAVE THREE
DISTRICTS.
LONG THE KLAMATH RIVER THAT SPAN.
SISKIYOU AND HUMBLE COUNTIES
INTO NATIONAL FORCE LIKE MANY
RURAL COMMUNITIES WE EXPERIENCED
A DEPRESSED ECONOMY.
AS A SAM PEOPLE WE HAVE BEEN
PARTICULARLY AFFECTED.
BYE THE IMPAIRMENT OF THE
KLAMATH RIVER FISHERIES WHICH
HAS RESULTED IN DECREASED.
EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES.
PROVIDE JOBS WORK MANY WE HAVE
RECENTLY OPENED A GAMING
FACILITY IN OUR WESTERN DISTRICT
IN Y. RICA.
ALSO CALLED PATRICIA ARM.
AT IN KARUK WE HAVE COMPILED
WITH ALL OVER FEDERAL IN COMPACT
REQUIREMENTS AND HAVE IN A
GOVERNMENT AGREEMENTS WITH OUR
COUNTY AND CITY.
THE FILM WAS SO THE WAS OPENED
IN APRIL TWO THOUSAND EIGHTEEN
AND HAS BEEN AN AND MEDIA BOOST
O OUR LOCAL ECONOMY. FOR
EXAMPLE WHEN WE BEGIN.
HIRING IN THE EARLY.
TWO THOUSAND EIGHTEEN WE HELD A
JOB FAIR. FOR TWO HUNDRED JOBS
IN THE EIGHT HUNDRED PEOPLE
SHOWED UP.
S. SIMILAR TO OTHER TRIBES ARE
TWO THOUSAND FOURTEEN COMPACT IS
A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE STATE.
THAT BOUNCES OUR SOVEREIGNTY.
WITH IMPLEMENTATION OF CERTAIN
PROTECTORS PROTECTIONS STANDARDS
FOR EXAMPLE WE HAVE TRIBAL TORTS
AND ANTI DISCRIMINATION
ORDINANCE.
THAT MERE STATE PROTECTIONS. FOR
WORKERS COMPENSATION HOWEVER WHO
ARE PRESENT COMEBACK MANDATES
PARTICIPATION.
IN THE STATE'S WORKERS
COMPENSATION SYSTEM BECAUSE
PRIVATE ORDINARILY.
HAVE THE RIGHT TO RUN THEIR OWN
WORKERS COMPENSATION.
AMANDA DO TORY PARTICIPATION IN
THE STATE SYSTEM HAS RESULTED IN
SIGNIFICANT INSURANCE COSTS.
PRESENTLY IT COSTS MORE TO
ENSURE A GAMING EMPLOYEE.
THEN A MEMBER OF OUR FIRE CREW.
THESE HIGH INSURANCE COSTS ARE
UNRELATED TO THE JOB.
COST TENS OF THOUSAND DOLLARS IN
RESULT IN THE LOSS OF FUNDS FOR
ESSENTIAL GOVERNMENT SERVICES.
OTHER GAMING TRIBES HAVE
ENCOUNTERED THE SAME ISSUE.
AS A RESULT THE LEGISLATION HAS
TYPICALLY RATIFIED SIMPLE COM
[inaudible]
PACKED AMENDMENTS.
THE PERMIT A TRIBE TO OPERATES
ITS OWN WORKERS COMPENSATION.
SYSTEM IF IT COMPLIES WITH
STRINGENT INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
AND VICE A SYSTEM.
OF REDRESS FOR WORKPLACE
INJURIES.
THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO OUR TWO
THOUSAND FOURTEEN COMPACT
REFLECTS.
THESE ALTERNATIVE REQUIREMENTS
AND WOULDN'T ALLOW US TO ACHIEVE.
PARITY WITH OTHER TRIBES IN
CALIFORNIA.
IN CONCLUSION I THANK YOU ALL
FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO TESTIFY.
AND ASK YOU FOR SUPPORT WHO ARE
FIRST AMENDMENT TO OUR TWO
THOUSAND FOURTEEN COMPAQ HEWLETT

WORKING SCRIPT WORKERS
COMPENSATION ISSUE --
I'M IN THE INSURANCE BUSINESS AS
AN AGENT AND IT'S IT'S TOUGH --
SOMEBODY'S WORKERS COMP
CLASSIFICATIONS --
ARE VERY DIFFICULT AND VERY
EXPENSIVE --
SO I BANG ENCOURAGE YOU TO LOOK
AT SETTING UP YOUR OWN WORKERS
COMPENSATION.
A PLAN.
AND THE ONLY ADVICE I WOULD GIVE
USE THAT YOU GOTTA MAKE SURE
IT'S MANAGE WELL.

SURE YOU'LL BE SUCCESSFUL ON THE
SENATE FLOOR THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR COMING.
OKAY UP NEXT THE LA HOYA BAND
[inaudible]
WELCOME [inaudible]
IF YOU.
AND IS ARE TRADITIONALLY A START
WITH MR DEL AND SETTLE.
PROCEED SIR THANK YOU SENATOR --
HAPPY TO TALK ABOUT OUR
INTRODUCED THE THE THE NEW
TROUBLE STICKING COMPACT BETWEEN
THE STATE OF THE LAW A BOUNDLESS
WHEN YOU INDIANS THE TRIBE
REALLY HAS A NINETEEN NINETY
NINE TRAVESTY GAMING COMPACT BUT
IT.
DOES NOT HAVE ANY CLASS THREE
GAMING ACTIVITIES OF THIS
COMPACT IS SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR
TO THAT THE OTHER COMPACTS THAT
WE'VE DONE THERE ARE SOME --
SLATE -- TWO
WEEKS WITH A GUIDE TO THAT
UNIQUE CIRCUMSTANCE REALLY THE
ONLY SIGNIFICANT ONE RELATES TO
THE ISSUE OF LAND THAT THE
TRIBE'S RESERVATION.
IS AROUND --
A SPANISH LAND GRANTS THAT HAS
BEEN -- THAT
WAS THAT WAS FOR CALIFORNIA
BECAME A PART OF THIS COUNTRY
AND AND THE OTHER NINETY NINE
COMPACT.
ADDRESSES THE ISSUE OF GAMING
ELIGIBLE LAND BY SAYING THAT --
ANY LAND THAT THAT IS ELIGIBLE
IS ELIGIBLE FOR GAMING UNDER THE
COMPACT SINCE THEN WE'VE TRIED --
TO BE MORE SPECIFIC AND AND
RESTRICT GAMING UNDER THE
COMPACT TO LAND THAT'S ELIGIBLE
FOR THE TIME OF EXECUTION.
AND WE THINK THAT'S THAT'S
APPROPRIATE AND AND I RESPECTFUL
THE ROLE OF THE LEGISLATURE THE
PEOPLE TO PUT THEM ON NOTICE
BECAUSE THE UNIQUE NATURE OF
THIS RESERVATION WITH WITH
ESSENTIALLY A DONUT HOLE IN THE
MIDDLE OF THE RESERVATION WE
FELT THAT WE COULD.
AMEND THAT LANGUAGE A BIT TO
RECOGNIZE THAT IF.
ANY LAND THAT'S ESSENTIALLY
SURROUNDED BY THE EXISTING
RESERVATION LATER BECOMES AND
TRUST AND IS ELIGIBLE FOR GAMING
THAT THE TRACKING GAME ON THAT
LIST. TO THIS COMPACT OTHERWISE
AND THE COMPACT TERMS REFLECT
THE CIRCUMSTANCE OF THIS TRIBE --
THEY CURRENTLY ARE REVENUE
SHARING TRUST FUND ELIGIBLE
TRIED -- IT
GIVES THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO
GROW UP.
TO TWO THOUSAND BUT RECOGNIZES
THAT UP TO TWELVE HUNDRED SLOTS
DONE THAT THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO
TO KEEP THE REVENUE THEY
GENERATE FOR THEIR MEMBERS AND
FOR THE PROGRAMS SO THAT'S THE
OVERVIEW HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY
QUESTIONS.
I JUST HAD A QUESTION ON THE
ENVIRONMENTAL PROVISIONS BECAUSE
IT STE IS TIED TO THE NUMBER OF
MACHINE SO HOW DOES THAT WORK
THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION SENATOR
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE
WORKED ON AND WE'VE BEEN
NEGOTIATING WITH --
LA HOYA AS PART OF A LARGER
GROUP FOR THE LAST THREE AND A
HALF.
OR FOUR YEARS.
UP WHAT WE HAVE AND THIS IS THE
FIRST.
ILLINOIS BROKE OFF FROM THAT
GROUP BECAUSE WE THOUGHT THAT WE
COULD FOCUS ON THE THINGS THAT
REPORT TO THE TRIBE IN THE STATE
AND CONCLUDE NEGOTIATIONS THIS
SESSION.
THAT -- THE
ENVIRONMENTAL PROVISIONS
ESSENTIALLY OUT OF PROCESS WITH
THE TRIBE IDENTIFIES.
THE POTENTIAL IMPACTS OFF
RESERVATION WITH THAT BINDING
ENFORCEABLE MECHANISM TE TO
MITIGATE THOSE WHAT WE'VE DONE
IS TO TO CREATE TWO DIFFERENT
PROCEDURES.
ONE THE TRADITIONAL PROCEDURE
THAT APPLIES.
TO THE FACILITIES WHERE BY THAT
THE CUMULATIVE TOTAL A TRIBE --
OF SLOTS WOULD BE ABOUT THREE
FIFTY AND THEN FOR THE SMALLER
TRIED TO COME UP WITH THAT A NEW
PROCESS THAT'S TAILORED TO THEIR
CIRCUMSTANCE.
AND IT INCLUDES THE SAME BASIC
YOU KNOW UP PARTS I'S JUST DONE
IN A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT WAY THEY
HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS
OF EVALUATING THE IMPACTS
BECAUSE TRIBAL ENVIRONMENTAL.
IMPACT DOCUMENTS RATHER THAN
REPORT --
THEY HAD TO PROVIDE NOTICE TO
ALL INTERESTED PARTIES AND TO
WORK WITH THE LOCAL AFFECTED
JURISDICTION ULTIMATELY WHEN
THERE'S FINAL AGREEMENT THAT
THAT DOCUMENT ADDRESSES THE
IMPACTS RELATED TO THE GAMING
FACILITY.
THEY'LL BE.
A MITIGATION AGREEMENT BETWEEN
THE TRIBE OF THE STATE THOSE OF
THE COMPONENTS WE TRIED TO DO IN
A WAY THAT'S RESPECTFUL OF THOSE
TRIBES.
IT DRAWS UPON SOME OF THE
PROVISIONS OF THAT THE TRIBAL
LABOR PANEL SO HERE IF THERE IS
A NEED TO DO SOME ARBITRATION
THERE WOULD BE --
AN ARBITRATOR THAT'S FUNDED
THROUGH THE INDIAN GAMING
SPECIAL DISTRIBUTION --
SO THAT'S THE BASIC LAYOUT OF
THE DIFFERENCES AND THIS IS THE
FIRST TIME YOU'LL SEE THAT I
THINK CAN THIS COP.
GREAT THANK YOU SIR THANK YOU SO
MUCH FOR THAT.
OKAY CHAIRMAN RODRIGUEZ.
YOU APPRECIATE THE OFTEN COMING
UP HERE.
OR YOU.
