The gaming compact entered into by the State of Arizona and various tribes calls for 12 percent of gaming revenue to be contributed to cities, towns, and counties for government services that benefit the general public including public safety, mitigation of impacts of gaming, and promotion of commerce and economic development. The Ak-Chin Indian Community will notify the City, by resolution of the Tribal Council, if it desires to convey to the City a portion of its annual 12 percent local revenue-sharing contribution.
Financial Impact
There is no budgetary impact to the City and no general purpose funds are required. Entities that receive gaming grants are responsible for the management of those funds.
