On Monday the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation filed suit against the Vallejo City Council and the City of Vallejo over the council’s approval of an Encroachment Permit and a Memorandum of Understanding with the Scotts Valley Band of Pomo Indians related to a proposed temporary casino in Vallejo.
Scotts Valley wants to eventually build a casino that would include 24 single-family residences, a tribal administration building, a parking garage, and a 45-acre biological preserve area located within and adjacent to the city boundary in Solano County, near the intersection of Interstate 80 and Highway 37. The casino, at a cost of $700 million, would be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
