Authorize the Chairman, or his designee in the Office of Budget and Finance (OBF), to sign all application 
documents and resolutions related to these grant funds, as applicable. The grant award is one time and 
there is no cash or in-kind match requirement. Indirect costs are not applicable to Tribal Gaming 
Grants. Future ongoing cash contributions are not required after the grant period. The grant award is 
not a mandated function and the services provided by this grant benefit the general public, including 
public safety, mitigation of the impacts of gaming, or promotion of commerce and economic

development. 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.
Board Required Information:
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.
