The [Vallejo] City Council on Tuesday will consider an agreement – in relation to a temporary gaming facility – with the Scotts Valley Band of Pomo Indians that could net the city more than $1 million over three years.

It also could mean more than $100,000 a year in support of nonprofits coordinated by the city.

“This memorandum of understanding represents an important step in building a mutually beneficial relationship between the tribe and the city,” Tribal Chairman Shawn Davis said in a statement.

“As our Tribe moves forward with the responsible development of our sovereign trust land, the Scotts Valley Band of Pomo Indians is working to transform our homeland into a place that brings our members together and creates lasting economic opportunity for Vallejo.”
