Current law requires each county that administers grants from the Indian Gaming Special Distribution Fund (SDF) to submit an annual report to the Chairperson of the Joint Legislative Budget Committee; Chairperson of the Senate Committee on Governmental Organization; Chairperson of the Assembly Committee on Governmental Organization; and the California Gambling Control Commission.
The report should include the following detailed information for 2014-15 expenditures:
- Grant funds received by the county;
- Description of each project funded;
- How each project mitigates the impact of tribal gaming;
- Total expenditures for each project;
- Administrative costs related to each project (excluding the county’s administrative fee;
- Any funds remaining at the end of the fiscal year for each project;
- How remaining funds will be allocated for each project, including estimated time for expenditure; and
- A description of whether each project is funded on a one-time allocation or on-going.
Reports are due by October 1, 2015 for counties to be eligible to receive funding allocated in this fiscal year. The reports must be submitted whether or not any money is distributed from the SDF, or it could make counties ineligible to receive funding in future years as well.
