Recommendations 3
-
R1Page 53The cities of Rocklin and Roseville should regularly (e.g., annually) identify, document and quantify any adverse financial impacts the Casino has had on their government operations. Where appropriate, overtures should then be made to the Tribe to reach or modify agreements that would mitigate any of these actual costs.
-

At a minimum, this should include requiring statements and documentation from grantees at the end of the fiscal year supporting the appropriate use of the grant money. It might also include a requirement that such documentation be received and approved by the LCBC before any grant money is disbursed for each project.
