Meeting Agenda and Minutes Senate Bill 621, which became law on January 1, 2004, makes grant funding available to counties, cities and special districts impacted by tribal gaming from the Indian Gaming Special Distribution Fund. Those gaming tribes who operated 200 or more gaming devices on or before September 1, 1999 contribute a variable portion of their net winnings into the Fund. In Tulare County, the Tule River Tribe contributes winnings. The Tulare County Indian Gaming Local Community Benefit Committee (IGLCBC) is responsible for selecting these grants pursuant to the priorities and other requirements stated by law. The application period for 2009 Indian Gaming grants is now open. Please complete the attached deadline and return to the Board of Supervisors office by March 13, 2009. If you have any questions, please contact Indian Gaming Committee staffer Jeff Forbes at (559) 636-5000 or jforbes@co.tulare.ca.us.
