Wilton Rancheria will pay Elk Grove $50,000 for police services at its newly opened Sky River Casino, city officials said.

Police will provide services at the casino during peak hours for the next several months then later will be used as-needed, Elk Grove officials said in a September staff report.

Elk Grove police began contracting with Wilton Rancheria to provide officers on a temporary and part-time basis when Sky River opened its doors in August. Officers’ duties are classified as overtime work.

But city officials in a September staff report said the casino’s request for extra-duty police services has been “significantly higher than anticipated” and that the city expected to pass the $50,000 threshold needed for approval by Elk Grove City Council.
