After several hours of heated debate and public comment, the Vallejo City Council voted to enter into a temporary memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Scotts Valley Band of Pomo Indians as they work to open a preview casino and tribal offices on their trust land within city limits.
The site sits just off Interstate 80 and Columbus Parkway in Vallejo.
The MOU was amended following council concerns to include more community engagement, a requirement of 15% local hires, and a contribution to the White Slough cleanup.
Council members Alexander Matias and Tonia Lediju voted no on the amended MOU.
