The Placer County Indian Gaming Local Community Benefit Committee
(LCBC) will meet on Wednesday, February 8 to plan for this year's grant
cycle.
As required by state law, the committee was formed last year to
award grant funds to local government agencies from the Indian Gaming
Distribution Fund, and established to help offset impacts associated
with tribal gaming. This year the county's allocation is estimated at
more than $470,000. In 2005, the grants funds available to Placer
County agencies totaled more than $383,000.
Members of the committee include Placer County Supervisors Bruce
Kranz and Robert Weygandt, Lincoln Mayor Ray Sprague, Rocklin council
member Brett Storey, Roseville Mayor Pro Tem Rocky Rockholm, and United
Auburn Indian Community representatives Jessica Tavares and Julie
Huff.
The committee will meet from 1 to 3 p.m. on Wednesday, February 8,
at the Materials Recovery Facility, 3033 Fiddyment Road, near
Roseville. The agenda is available on the Placer County Web site,
www.placer.ca.gov.
