Proposed Motion:

Background/Discussion:
In 2002, a coalition of Arizona Indian tribes successfully obtained passage of Proposition 202, whereby the State was authorized to enter into gaming compacts with individual tribes. The compacts allowed expanded tribal use of games and gaming devices as well as pari-mutuel wagering. In exchange, tribes agreed to share a portion of gaming revenues with the State and its counties, cities and towns.The law provides that 12 percent of tribal contributions pursuant to the compacts shall be contributed by Indian tribes to cities, towns and counties for government services that benefit the general public, including public safety, mitigation of gaming impacts, and promotion of commerce and economic development. Indian tribes have some discretion over how these contributions will be made and each tribe has different application procedures to obtain funding.
The Chandler Police Department serves a population of more than 283,000 residents and businesses that employ about 127,000 people. The Chandler Police Department Forensic Services Section is seeking support from the Gila River Indian Community to fund the acquisition of two Crime-lite Auto Cameras and to train the City's crime scene technicians to use them. These Ultraviolet – Visible - Infrared (UV-Vis-IR) cameras can be used to search for evidence not visible to the naked eye and capture that evidence either by video or in a still photograph.
The Gila River Indian Community Office of Special Funding has accepted the application submitted by the Chandler Police Department and recommended approval to the Gila River Indian Community Grant Review Board. The Grant Review Board has requested a City of Chandler resolution affirming the intent of the City to use the awarded funds in the manner described with the grant application. Upon the approval and adoption of Resolution No. 5618 by the City of Chandler Council, the Gila River Indian Community Grant Review Board will enter the final approval and award disbursement phase.
Financial Implications:
There are no financial implications to the City of Chandler.
