The grant award is competitively bid and determined by the Gila River Indian Community. There are no costs that will need to be absorbed by the OBF’s operating budget. Grant revenues are not local revenues for the purpose of the constitutional expenditure limitation, and therefore, expenditure of the funds is permitted by the budget law. Upon award of grant funds, subsequent action will be submitted to the Board of Supervisors for acceptance of individual grant funds and execution of all necessary acceptance documents which may also include an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA), Grant-in-Aid Agreement, or similar documents. Indirect costs are not applicable to Tribal Gaming Grants. The acceptance agenda item will adjust the overall grant budget to accommodate these grants through a future reconciliation.
