FULL AGENDA SO LET ME JUST TOUCH
ON THE HIGH POINTS OF ALL SEVEN
WE HAVE.
SEVEN COMPAQ'S --
TO AMENDED COMPACTS THE AMENDED.
UP FOR SENATE HAS BEEN A CHIU
MASHUP PROVIDES FOR AN OFF TRACK
WAGERING.
COMPONENT --
APPENDIX TO THEIR COMPACT LE THE
APPENDIX OR THE AMENDMENTS --
TO ABOUT MATTEL UP ALMOST UPPER
LAKE I HAD.
TO PROVIDE THE TRIBE AN OPTION
IT ALSO ADDRESSES THE DRIVER
TRIBAL LABOR RELATIONS ORDINANCE
IN A WAY THAT'S CONSISTENT WITH
RECENT CONTACTS.
THERE FIVE COMPLETE COMPACTS
THAT BEFORE THE THE COMMITTEE
TODAY -- ONE
INVOLVES --
I TRIED THAT DOESN'T HAVE ANY
CURRENT GAMING OPERATION THAT'S
THAT THE MITCHELL --
TO BAND --
IN IN CHICO --
CONSISTENT WITH RECENT CONTACTS
INVOLVING TRIBES IN THAT
CIRCUMSTANCE IT ALLOWS THEM.
TO DEFER PAYMENTS THE REVENUE
SHARING TRUST FUND.
TRIBAL NATION GRANT FUND OF FOR
SEVEN YEARS BUT TO ALLOW THEM TO
ADDRESS THE ISSUES OF DEBT --
AND AND GET THEIR PROGRAMS UP
AND RUNNING IT ALSO PROVIDES THE
SAME KINDS OF PROVISIONS TO HAVE
WITH REGARD --
TO ENVIRONMENTAL MITIGATION TO
ENSURE THAT BEFORE PROJECT
COMMENCES THEY HAVE AN AGREEMENT
IN PLACE.
WHO IS --
BUTTE COUNTY TO ADDRESS A
MITIGATION BASED ON THE
DETERMINATION OF WHAT THE OFFICE
SPACE IMPACTS ARE --
AND ONCE THEY ARE UP AND RUNNING
A INVESTMENTS WE NEED TO HAVE A
CREDIT FRAMEWORK THAT I THINK
BENEFITS THE TRIBE AND ALSO THE
COMMUNITY.
THERE FOR OTHERS --
WITH --
CURRENT GAMING OPERATIONS TO A
LARGER FACILITIES.
EXAMPLE SCHOOL IN SAN DIEGO
COUNTY YOU'LL SEE THE ECONOMIC
PROVISIONS OF THOSE CONTACTS
REFLECT --
THE THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF EACH OF
THOSE TRIBES A SAMPLE SQUALL AND
AND TWENTY NINE PALMS WE CAN
TALK ABOUT THOSE IN DETAIL IF
YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
AND FINALLY WE GOT TO THE
REMAINING --
TO TOWARDS MARTINEZ RIVERSIDE
AND IMPERIAL COUNTY --
A REVENUE SHARING TRUST FUND
ELIGIBLE TRIED THE CONFLICT
ALLOWS THEM TO GROW --
TO TWELVE HUNDRED WITHOUT HAVING
TO MAKE ANY PAYMENTS THE REVENUE
SHARING TRUST FUND AND TRAVEL
INSTAGRAM FED.
AND THAT THE BIG VALLEY.
FROM LAKE COUNTY ALSO BUT I
TRIED THAT'S BEEN GAINING FOR
SOMETIME IN A AND I THINK THAT.
THIS --
CONTACT ALLOWS THEM TO GROW
WOULD ACTUALLY I THINK WOULD
REDUCE THE PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS
BUT IF FAIRLY REFLECTS THE KIND
OF PROFESSIONAL --
WORK THAT THEY HAVE DONE AND AND
THAT WE'RE COMMITTED TO
SUPPORTING THAT WITH THAT THAT'S
MY SUMMARY HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY
QUESTIONS.

WITH THE FACT THAT I SUSPECT
THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE THE
LAST YOU KNOW --
HEARING ON COMPAQ'S TODAY IN
THIS AFTERNOON IN THE ON THE
ASSEMBLY SIDE.
AND OVER THE LAST FIVE SIX YEARS
UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF MISTER
JAIL AND THEN OF COURSE THE THE
GOVERNOR OF CALIFORNIA JERRY
BROWN SOME GREAT GREAT STRIDES
HAVE BEEN MADE.
BUT THE LAST POINT I WANT TO
MAKE USES THAT.
OVER THE YEARS OF A NUMBER OF
TRIBES AS RESULT OF THE STATE
OVER NUMBER ADMINISTRATIONS
WORKING WITH THE UNION AND THE
TRIBES IN THE COMMUNITY IT
CETERA.
WHERE TRIBES ARE LOCATED --
BETWEEN THE YOUR CHURCH AN
INDIAN SHE NODDED AUBURN INDIAN
COMMUNITY.
APOLLO BAND OF MISSION INDIANS
THE GREAT AND RANCHERIA UP IN
ROHNERT PARK.
OF THE LITTLE BAND OF POMO
INDIANS --
AND THE HUMBLE TRIBE.
BOTTOM LINE ALL OF THESE CASINOS --
WORKERS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO
ORGANIZE.
TRIBESHAVE BEEN RISEN UP OUT OF
POVERTY WHILE THE WORKERS HAVE
AS WELL AND IT'S BEEN AN
ABSOLUTELY POSITIVE GREAT THING
FOR THE TRIBES FOR THE COMMUNITY

THEIR OWN MEMBERSHIP.

ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ACTION
I HAVE ONE QUESTION --
SIR DILLON.
YOU CAN YOU DESCRIBE BUT THE THE
ROLE OF THE CALIFORNIA HORSE
RACING BOARD IN THIS TYPE OF
HE'LL OPERATION WAGERING
FACILITY HOW THAT MIGHT PROVIDE
SOME IDEAS.
FOR OTHER TYPES OF SPORTS
WAGERING IN THE FUTURE BUT HE
ESTHER'S SO.
THAT -- THE
THE FACILITY WILL BE WITHIN THE
EXISTING CASINO --
THAT HAD THE TRIBE OPERATES AT
THE TRIBAL --
ESSENTIALLY PROVIDE SPACE TIME
WHICH IS AN AMENITIES THEIR
PATRONS WHICH GENERATES REVENUE
FOR THE TRIBE TO TRIBAL
GOVERNMENT.
THAT -- THE
ACTUAL OPERATION IS GOING TO BE
OVERSEEN BY THE REGULATOR THAT
REGULATES ALL OF THE OTHER
SATELLITE WAGING FACILITIES
WITHIN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
SO IT'S ESSENTIALLY TAKING STATE
LAW MAKING CERTAIN AMENDMENTS
THAT APPROPRIATE SO FOR INSTANCE
THE REVENUE THAT WOULD OTHERWISE
GO.
TO THE COUNTY WOULD GO TO THE
TRIED BUT WITH REGARD TO THE
MANNER IN WHICH THAT THE PLAYERS --
ENGAGING IN GAMING THAT WAY THAT
THE MONEY GOES TO SUPPORT THE
SAME KINDS OF ACTIVITIES ARE
SUPPORTED BY BY FUNDS --
FACE.
A BET AND OTHER FACILITIES IT'S
THE SAME MECHANISM SO IT'S A
VERY --
PARALLEL APPROACH TO JUST
INCORPORATE A NEW FORM OF CLASS
THREE GAMING IN THIS FACILITY
[inaudible]
HER.
FOR A BODY ELSE.
MISTER CHAIRMAN YOU WORK HERE IS
DONE.

GAMING FACILITY AND RIVERSIDE
COUNTY NEAR THE CITY OF THERMAL.
THIS NEW FACILITY WILL BE
LOCATED MUCH CLOSER FOR TO
POPULATION CENTERS AND
ANTICIPATE THE REVENUES WILL
SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE.
WE HOPE THAT THIS --
WE'VE CURRENTLY HAVE A CRITICAL
SHORTAGE OF HOUSING.
AND RESERVATION EMPLOYMENT
OPPORTUNITIES ARE SCARCE SO ON
THE RESERVATION EMPLOYMENT IS
CRITICAL TO OUR MEMBERSHIP.
WE ANTICIPATE THAT THIS NEW
GAMING FACILITY WILL GENERATE
JOBS NOT ONLY FOR TRAVEL
MEMBERSHIP BUT THEIR SURROUNDING
CITIES OF TURMOIL COACHELLA
INDIO.
AND THE COACHELLA VALLEY.
WE HAVE WORKED CLOSELY WITH
THESE COMMUNITIES AND HAVE
ALWAYS SUPPORTED OUR EFFORTS

HOPE THAT THIS HEARING WAS A
STEP FORWARD AND CHANGING THAT.
