AGENDA ITEM
AGENDA MATTER:

APPROVAL OF THE RESTATED MUNICIPAL SERVICES AGREEMENT BETWEEN LOS COYOTES BAND OF CAHUILLA AND CUPEÑO INDIANS, AND THE CITY OF BARSTOW EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The agreement presented between the City of Barstow (the City) and the Los Coyotes Band of Cahuilla and Cupeño Indians (the Tribe) is intended to provide a funding mechanism for governmental services impacted by the future development of a proposed casino on three undeveloped parcels totaling 23.1 acres on Lenwood Road, south of Mercantile Way.

The Tribe has filed a fee-to-trust application and two-part determination pursuant to Section 5 of the Indian Reorganization Act, 25 U.S.C. § 5108, and Section 20(b)(1)(A) of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (“IGRA”), 25 U.S.C. § 2719(b)(1)(A), both of which also trigger full environmental review under the National Environmental Policy Act (“NEPA”), 42 U.S.C. §§ 4321, et seq. This request will allow the Department of Interior to place into trust the 23.1 acres on Lenwood Road, south of Mercantile Way (Trust Lands). The Tribe is also asking the Secretary of the Interior to make a “two-part determination” under IGRA section 20(b)(1)(A), that the gaming development is in the best interest of the Tribe and is not detrimental to the community surrounding the Trust Lands.

The City has no role in the fee-to-trust determination other than consideration of this funding mechanism for tribal compensation of services.

Intergovernmental or municipal services agreements are commonly entered into between cities and tribal governments to address the funding of impacts of development on otherwise sovereign tribal land. The City and the Tribe previously entered into a Municipal Services Agreement (MSA), initially on October 10, 2004, which was amended on August 21, 2006 (First Amendment), and October 5, 2020 (Second Amendment). The agreement now presented as a Restated MSA addressing the funding of the same general scope of municipal services. As the Tribe is moving towards finalizing land acquisition, the Municipal Services Agreement is being updated to address the changes in federal law, and updating the terms of the agreement.

This Restated MSA is required due to changes in federal law which now prevents revenue-sharing and yet still requires that potential impacts to the local community be addressed. The BIA now requires that the funding method be more clearly spelled out rather than presented as a revenue sharing arrangement.

The Tribe will pay standard Development Impact Fees applicable to similar developments, and costs for City services such as police and fire occurring due to the characteristics of the proposed casino. 1 Packet Pg. 4

AGENDA ITEM
The Tribe will cover the costs of: construction of a fire station including land acquisition; purchasing and staffing two pieces of fire apparatus; and police personnel. The Tribe will also be required to fund a problem gambling program to address mental and behavioral health issues in the Barstow area associated with problem gambling.

The City has previously supported the Tribe's fee-to-trust application and agreed to provide cooperation with the Tribe on matters of public services and land use on the Tribe's Trust Lands pursuant to the Initial and the First and Second Amended MSA’s.

DISCUSSION:

The Los Coyotes Band of Cahuilla and Cupeño Indians is applying to the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) for a the fee-to-trust application under Section 5 of the Indian Reorganization Act, 25 U.S.C. § 5108, Section 20(b)(1)(A) of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (“IGRA”), 25 U.S.C. § 2719(b)(1)(A), and the National Environmental Policy Act (“NEPA”), 42 U.S.C. §§ 4321, et seq. This request will allow the Department of Interior to place into trust the 23.1 acres on Lenwood Road, south of Mercantile Way (Trust Lands). The Tribe is also asking the Secretary of the Interior to make a “two-part determination” under IGRA section 20(b)(1)(A), that the gaming development is in the best interest of the Tribe and is not detrimental to the community surrounding the Trust Lands.

The Los Coyotes Band of Cahuilla and Cupeño Indians is a federally recognized tribe in San Diego County with a reservation in an isolated area of the county. The Tribe is an independent nation with the right to form its own government, establish membership, exclude persons from tribal lands, levy taxes within its borders, and establish its own law, including zoning laws, within its borders. Development opportunities for the Tribe on its reservation are limited due to geographic and topographic issues, including limited transportation to the reservation and its proximity adjacent to the Cleveland National Forest.

Congress created the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934 as a method under which land acquired by a tribe is placed into trust by the Secretary of the Interior to allow for tribal economic self-sufficiency. In 1988, Congress created the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act to allow for gaming on Indian lands under certain conditions.

To conduct gaming on land acquired after 1988, the BIA must make a determination that is commonly known as the “Two-Part Determination Process” to allow gaming on the site, more specifically, BIA must determine that the proposed gaming activity: 1) will be in the best interest of the Indian tribe and its members, and 2) will not be detrimental to the community surrounding the land. This provision of federal law does not provide approval of the Two-Step Process or the application by the local agency (i.e., the City), though it does require the evaluation by the BIA of whether local impacts have been addressed.

No aboriginal or historic tie to the land under consideration is required under a Two-Step Process determination. The focus on a Two-Step Process application is the evaluation by the BIA of whether a 1 Packet Pg. 5

AGENDA ITEM
tribe that currently has reservation land would be benefited by acquiring additional land to be held in trust by the Department of the Interior for economic development, and whether such development would have a disparate impact on the community surrounding the land to be put into trust.

The City has no role in the fee-to-trust determination other than consideration of this funding mechanism for tribal compensation to mitigate anticipated impacts of the proposed casino project related to public safety and other impacts such as law enforcement, fire protection, development service improvements, and problem gambling programs.

The City has supported the Tribe’s application previously. The previously approved MSA and amendments thereto established a process for sharing of net revenue to be paid to the City, with no direct cost of city services identified. Under the new federal regulations however, revenue sharing is no longer allowed by BIA. The Restated MSA therefore has been revised to provide for funding methods for base line size and scope of services for police and fire personnel, materiel and facilities, with final determination of cost and scope to be determined upon final evaluation of the project. The Restated MSA also provides for an agreement that such funding obligations will be adjusted annually to address inflation and other cost adjustments.

As the lead agency for the Fee-to-Trust and Casino project, the BIA prepared a Final Environmental Impact Study (Final EIS) for the Fee-to-Trust and Casino project, which can be found at <https://barstoweis.com/documents/final_eis-teir/report.htm>(Final EIS). The Final EIS analyzed several project alternatives as required under NEPA, with the Preferred Alternative being “Alternative B-Barstow Reduced Casino-Hotel Complex” (Sec. Final EIS, section 2.2.2, p. 2-12). The original MSA, the amended MSA, and this Restated MSA use the Alternative B-Barstow Reduced Casino-Hotel Complex as the basis on which to identify required services and address the funding issues. The Tribe has confirmed that the project is based on the project scope of the Alternative B-Barstow Reduced CasinoHotel Complex. (See Att. 2, Letter from Heather Sibbison, dated October 24, 20204.) The Restated MSA clarifies baseline funding obligations based on such scope for the Alternative B-Barstow Reduced Casino-Hotel Complex, with an obligation to revisit annually the scope and costs.

The proposed project under Alternative B-Barstow Reduced Casino-Hotel Complex consists of a 164,400 square foot casino building, a 100 room hotel, 1,405 parking spaces, and associated entertainment, retail, and services facilities.

After consultation with the Police Department and Barstow Fire Protection District, funding method and amount was determined based on the staffing needs for the project for 17 police officers, a ladder truck, and a fire engine. The personnel needs to staff the two fire apparatus results in a need to hire 22 fire department personnel. (See Att. 4.) The current cost for the police services, fire services, including all vehicles, support, maintenance, overhead, administrative, and supplies shall be entirely funded by the Tribe through the terms of the Restated MSA. Such analysis is identified in Att. 3 and 4. The base line 1 Packet Pg. 6

AGENDA ITEM
cost of police services under the Restated MSA is $3,084,535.58 annually. (See Att. 1, Ex. C, para. 6.) The start-up cost of fire services under the Restated MSA is $4,757,170.00 and $44,876,101 annually thereafter. (See Att. 1, Ex. C, para. 7.) All personnel costs are adjusted annually for inflation or changes in personnel MOU’s. The estimated cost for fire apparatus under the Restated MSA is $2,500,000 and $1,400,000 respectively for a ladder truck and fire engine. Payment for police services shall be invoiced monthly. Payment for fire services shall be paid annually at the beginning of the calendar year. Payment for fire apparatus shall be made within one year of land being placed into trust to allow for ordering and delivery of apparatus.

After the Trust Lands are formally placed into trust by the BIA, the Tribe will within 180 days make an offer of dedication of two acres of non-federal trust land to the City in order for the City to use for the construction of a new fire and police station, if determined by the City to be necessary at that time. Such configuration of the facility, location, and need for the facility shall be determined at that time by the City and approved under separate actions. The Restated MSA describes a minimum scope of such facility to cover the needs of equipment and personnel identified, should the City decide to proceed with a newly constructed fire station at that time. Though the estimated cost for the construction of a fire station/public safety building is presently unknown, the Tribe is responsible under the Restated MSA to fund such structure. The Restated MSA obligates the Tribe to provide as an initial payment of $7,000,000 within one year of Trust Lands being place into trust, for the initial construction costs (design and initial procurement process) of such facility, and provide final payment for construction once such sum ultimately determined. The obligation for funding and timing of payment for such facilities is addressed under the Restated MSA.

The Restated MSA also addresses the payment obligation by the Tribe for the other impacts identified in the Final EIS. The Tribe shall be solely responsible for such payments and shall pay the impact fees typically paid by developers of similar projects (i.e., developer impact fees). If the hotel structure is over 4- stories, the Tribe shall annually pay $233,000 for Fire Department high-rise training.

The Restated MSA contains a local hire provision, to provide hiring priority for qualified local residents after employment preference to tribal members.

The Tribe has elected to impose certain restrictions on its land through Tribal Resolutions. (See Att. 1, Ex. H- “Zoning Standards”, I - “Building Standards”, and J “Environmental Review Standards”.) The Tribe as a sovereign nation is not required to adhere to local zoning codes, state building codes, or the California Environmental Quality Act. These Tribal Resolutions are acts of the Tribe to voluntarily adopt certain standards. The Tribal Zoning Standards prohibit any person under the age of 21 from being present in any gaming area, prohibits nude entertainment or adult entertaining businesses, prohibits fueling stations on Trust Lands, and prohibits commercial cannabis activities, including the use of cannabis on trust lands. The Tribe has also determined it is in the interest of the Tribe to adopt the same building codes and standards that are applicable to the City of Barstow and the State of California, and that such standards applicable to the State of California as updated every three years by the state, shall also be applicable to the Trust Lands in the City. The Tribe has also adopted a resolution to apply a 1 Packet Pg. 7

procedure for environmental review similar to the National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) to apply on Trust Lands in the City.

Finally, the tribe will be funding of at least $93,000 per year for a Problem Gambling Program, and will hire a non-profit provider to create, administer and oversee a program to create short-form videos concerning educational videos about problem gambling; to create a program engaging youth from Barstow area schools (grades 7-12) concerning gambling and underage gambling issues; to provide access to behavior health providers and residents concerning problem gambling; advertising throughout the community concerning problem gambling; distribution of print materials concerning problem gambling; and outreach to target high-prevalence populations.

Based on the terms and funding obligations of the Restated MSA, the project will not be detrimental to the City and surrounding community.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

Evaluation of the Casino Project was completed through the Bureau of Indian Affairs pursuant to the National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA). As a federal project NEPA is the appropriate level of environmental review. A copy of the Final EIS can be found at <https://barstoweis.com/documents/final_eis-teir/report.htm> The Restated MSA is not a project under CEQA pursuant to section 15378(b) of the CEQA Guidelines.

The California Court of Appeal has held that no environmental review is required under CEQA for an agreement between a city and a tribe for the provision of municipal services. (Parchester Village Neighborhood Council v. City of Richmond (2010) 182 Cal.App.4th 305.) As tribal land is not subject to CEQA, the Tribe has adopted a resolution addressing environmental review for all future projects on Tribal Land held in trust in the City. (See Att. 1, Ex. J “Environmental Review Standards”.)
Any future tribal development within the City off-Trust Land would be subject to review under CEQA.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None. Impacts to the City are addressed through the MSA. All costs and funding obligations are annually adjusted.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties agree as follows:

Section 1. Land to be Taken into Trust.

A. The Tribe has requested that the United States take into trust for its benefit land approximately 23.1 acres in size as identified in Exhibit A appended hereto (“Trust Lands”). The Tribe confirms that it has enacted a tribal law that provides that the Tribe’s commercial use and development of the Trust Lands will exclusively include: (a) the development and operation of a Casino Resort, which will offer Class III and/or Class II gaming, as defined in IGRA, and other facilities (together “Casino Resort” as defined in Exhibit B), in conformity with the requirements of IGRA, the requirements of all other applicable state and federal laws, and consistent with the commitments it has made in this Agreement; and (b) other gaming-related uses as described in Exhibit B, so long as such related uses are intended primarily to facilitate the operation of the Casino Resort. The services described herein address the potential and identified impacts of the Casino Resort, described as Alternative B in section 2.2.2 of the Final Environmental Impact Statement (“Final EIS”) available at https://barstoweis.com/documents/final_eis-teir/report.htm. The tribal law also confirms the Tribe’s commitment that it will not undertake additional development on the Trust Lands without amending this Agreement to address potential impacts.

B. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the City understands that at its discretion the Tribe may use some of the physical space within Casino Resort for non-commercial tribal governmental functions. Non-exclusive examples include use of meeting space for tribal member meetings or tribal cultural events, and use of office and administrative space for the provision of governmental service such as a health care clinic or educational services. The Tribe agrees that no change of the

commercial use of Tribal Trust Lands will occur unless the City is consulted to adjust impacts on the City. Any impacts on the City shall be addressed through an amendment to this Agreement.

Section 2. Tribal Building Standards for Barstow Trust Lands.

A. The Tribe has adopted a tribal law, embodied in a Resolution entitled, “Building Standards for the Barstow Trust Lands” (Exhibit I), that establishes building standards that are consistent with the California Building Codes and are applicable to all tribal development projects occurring on the Trust Lands. The Tribe shall continue to maintain building standards no less stringent than the California Building Codes. Prior to the use of any structure constructed on the Trust Lands, the Tribe shall provide the City, at the Tribe’s expense, written certification from the project’s architect of record that said structures have been constructed in accordance with said standards.

B. The Tribe agrees to contract with the City to provide planning, building and safety, fire prevention, and public works personnel to review any and all construction plans and inspect construction of all improvements on the Trust Lands within Barstow to ensure consistency with the Tribe’s adopted Building Standards for the Barstow Trust Lands on behalf of the Tribe. The City shall, to the extent consistent with State law, keep such construction plans confidential in light of the interest of the Parties in maintaining the security of the Casino Resort.

Section 3. Environmental Review.

A. The Bureau of Indian Affairs has conducted an extensive review of the Tribe’s Casino Resort project to determine its impact on the environment. That review was prepared pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (“NEPA”) after extensive public consultation.

The result of that review is embodied in a publicly-available Final Environmental Impact Statement (“Final EIS”), which is available to the public at https://barstoweis.com/documents/final_eisteir/report.htm. This Agreement is intended to address the impacts identified in the Final EIS, and is updated to address policy changes in federal law and refinement of obligations to address potential impacts to the City. The Final EIS contains mitigation measures that address environmental impacts of the proposed Casino Resort project, which this Agreement in part implements. The Parties understand that if the Tribe petitions the federal government to take more land in trust in Barstow for any purpose of future development (“Additional Tribal Trust Lands”), a new environmental analysis under NEPA will be required.

B. As of the date of this Agreement, there are no planned tribal development projects anywhere in Barstow except the Casino Resort project on the Trust Lands. Nevertheless, the Tribe has adopted a tribal law, embodied in a Resolution entitled, “Environmental Review Standards for the Barstow Trust Lands” (Exhibit J), providing for the preparation, circulation, and consideration by the City and the public, of detailed environmental analyses concerning the potential environmental impacts of any future tribal development projects that have not already been generally reviewed in the Final EIS identified in Paragraph A of this Section or otherwise reviewed

1.a
Packet Pg. 15
Attachment: Att. 1 Resolution Restated MSA Coyote (5796 : Municipal Services Agreement Between Los Coyotes Band of Cahuilla and Cupeño Restated Municipal Services Agreement — Page 4
under any other federally prepared NEPA analysis. (The parties acknowledge that the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) does not apply to the sovereign Trust Lands.) The Tribe’s Environmental Review Standards are and will remain consistent with the policies and purposes of NEPA. The Tribe agrees that:

1. All environmental analyses conducted pursuant to the Tribe’s Environmental Review Standards shall be provided to the City not less than 30 days prior to the commencement of any development.

2. The Tribe will consult and cooperate with the City to review and discuss potentially significant impacts and reasonable and appropriate mitigation measures specific to tribal development projects, and shall act in compliance with the Tribe’s Environmental Review Standards in a manner consistent with the policies and purposes of NEPA to mitigate impacts stemming from tribal development on Trust Lands.

C. The Parties understand and agree that the Tribe may in the future undertake other development projects on non-trust land, in which case CEQA shall apply. Such projects will also be subject to applicable provisions of the Barstow Municipal Code.

Section 4. Police and Fire Personnel and Services.

The Parties recognize and agree that the Casino Resort to be developed and operated on the Trust Lands by the Tribe will necessitate an increased presence of police and fire personnel. The Parties agree that certain impacts on the City’s police and fire services will result from the development of the Casino Resort necessitating the need for additional police and fire service personnel and equipment. The Parties agree that the level of service described herein and in Exhibits F (Police) and G (Fire) is necessary to address such unmet need. Unless and until the Tribe develops its own tribal police and/or fire services to address the needs identified herein and in Exhibits F and G, the City shall provide police and fire services as described and agreed to herein.

In the event that the Tribe develops its own tribal police and/or fire services, the Parties agree to negotiate and cooperate in the phase-in and transition of such services, and negotiate regarding sale of apparatus described herein.

A. Fire and Police Services

1. The City agrees to provide 24-hour police and fire suppression personnel and services to the Tribe at the same levels as provided to the City and its residents, except as provided herein and in Exhibits F (Police) and G (Fire) appended hereto. The City shall be compensated for providing such services consistent with Exhibits F and G.

2. Consistent with federal law, police services shall include the authority to enforce any and all applicable state criminal laws on Trust Lands, which shall include,

1.a
Packet Pg. 16
Attachment: Att. 1 Resolution Restated MSA Coyote (5796 : Municipal Services Agreement Between Los Coyotes Band of Cahuilla and Cupeño Restated Municipal Services Agreement — Page 5
but not be limited to, 24-hour patrol services and response to emergency 911 calls, and general investigations for major crimes as the Barstow Police Department deems necessary.

3. When practical, the Police Department will attempt to notify the Tribe’s designated public safety or security director and shall coordinate and cooperate with designated casino security force personnel, if any, except when, in the judgment of the law enforcement officers involved, their safety, the safety of the public, or the integrity of an investigation or enforcement action, would be compromised by doing so.

4. Whenever the Tribe schedules a Special Event (defined in Exhibit F) on the Trust Lands which is anticipated to require law enforcement personnel above the level of staffing called for in this Agreement, the Parties will negotiate appropriate additional reasonable compensation to the City to cover the additional costs incurred by the City as a result of the Special Event, consistent with Exhibits F and G.

5. All persons employed in the performance of law enforcement and fire service-related functions pursuant to this Agreement shall be employees or contractors of the City, other public safety agencies having primary jurisdiction within the City, or agencies which have mutual aid agreements with the City when responding to a request for services under this Agreement.

6. The Tribe shall contract directly with the County of San Bernardino for prosecutorial and defense services (District Attorney/Public Defender), and costs for such services shall be paid by the Tribe directly to the County. The Tribe has agreed that it will not commence gaming operations at the Casino Resort on the Trust Lands until resolution and agreement concerning the provision of prosecutorial and defense services.

B. Fire and Police Structures.

1. Within 180 days of the Trust Lands being placed into trust by the Department of the Interior, in order to allow construction of a fire and police facility nearby the Casino Resort by the time of commencement of operations at the Casino Resort on Trust Lands, the Tribe shall dedicate or arrange for the dedication to the City two acres of non-federal land that is owned or under the control of the Tribe or its development partner and is near the Casino Resort -- for fire and police station use -- on which the City will construct new fire and police stations when, and if, deemed necessary by the City in its sole discretion. The configuration and location of the donated site must be approved by the City.

2. Within one year of the Trust Lands being placed into trust by the Department of the Interior, the Tribe shall pay the City a sum of $7,000,000.00 for the initial construction costs associated with the fire and police facility. Such money shall be

1.a
Packet Pg. 17
Attachment: Att. 1 Resolution Restated MSA Coyote (5796 : Municipal Services Agreement Between Los Coyotes Band of Cahuilla and Cupeño Restated Municipal Services Agreement — Page 6
held in trust by the City until such time a cost is determined for such facility after design and bidding. In the event that construction, design, and staff costs associated with construction exceed such sum, the City shall advise the Tribe of the cost difference, and the Tribe shall remit such sum to the City prior to commencement of gaming operations at the Casino Resort. In the event that construction, design, and staff costs associated with construction are less than such sum, or such facility is not constructed, the City shall return the remainder amount to the Tribe. In the event that another tribe constructs a gaming development like the Casino Resort within the City of Barstow within five years from time of commencement of gaming operations, City shall seek reimbursement from that tribe for such fire and police facility on a proportional basis.

Section 5. Roads and Traffic Circulation.

The Bureau of Indian Affairs has conducted a traffic impact analysis, consistent with San Bernardino Associated Governments Congestion Management Program requirements, as part of its comprehensive review of potential project impacts in the Final EIS (see Section 3). As provided in the Final EIS, Chapter 5.7, the Tribe agrees to work with the City to implement recommended traffic mitigation measures and to complete or fund those mitigation measures identified in the Final EIS, and agrees to pay all required traffic mitigation fees consistent with the City’s fee programs and ordinances and pay for all road improvements that are reasonable and necessary. The Tribe further agrees that, if an increase in traffic is caused by the Tribe’s undertaking of other development projects on Trust Lands and additional road improvements or expansions are required, the Tribe shall grant suitable rights-of-way to the City in order to accommodate the necessary road improvements or expansions and make the necessary improvements.

Section 6. Sewer Service.

The Tribe will construct sewage disposal improvements on the Trust Lands with connection to the City’s existing sewer collection system in the City at the property line of the Trust Lands. The Tribe agrees to pay sewer connection fees and monthly sewer service charges, obtain required easements for sewer infrastructure if needed, construct to City sewer infrastructure standards, and pay all costs of constructing sewer infrastructure (even if located outside the Trust Lands) necessary to connect the Casino Resort to existing sewer services. The Tribe agrees that no use shall occur on the Trust Lands (before or after the land has been put in trust) until sewer service is completed and inspected pursuant to Sections 2, 3, and 7 of this Agreement. Any approvals by the City required to implement this Section shall not be unreasonably withheld, and the standards referred to in this Section shall be substantially identical to those applied by the City to other similar users.

Section 7. Utilities.

The Tribe shall obtain water and electricity for the Trust Lands as follows:

A. Water from the Golden State Water Company.

1.a
Packet Pg. 18
Attachment: Att. 1 Resolution Restated MSA Coyote (5796 : Municipal Services Agreement Between Los Coyotes Band of Cahuilla and Cupeño Restated Municipal Services Agreement — Page 7
B. Electricity from either the Southern California Edison Company or through purchase on the open market. Solar power may be produced on site.

Section 8. Solid Waste Disposal.

The Tribe wishes to utilize the City’s franchised solid waste disposal company for all solid waste and recycled materials generated by tribal development projects and agrees to pay the same rates and fees associated with such use normally paid by commercial accounts within the City.

Section 9. Tribal Employment Preference.

The Tribe intends to implement a tribal employment preference policy to prioritize employment for its members. Subject to tribal employment preferences and applicable law, the Tribe shall provide qualified City residents hiring preference at the Tribe’s Casino Resort facilities.

The Tribe shall offer training programs to assist City residents in becoming qualified for positions at the Casino Resort to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Section 10. Alcohol Service and Sales.

Consistent with applicable federal law, all alcohol beverage service shall be subject to State liquor laws on the Trust Lands. To the degree any cooperation is required by the City, such cooperation shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Section 11. Prohibited Activities.

The Tribe has adopted a tribal law, embodied in a Tribal Resolution entitled, “Zoning Standards for the Barstow Trust Lands” (Exhibit H), that prohibits the conduct of certain activities at any time on the Trust Lands, and provides an enforcement structure to assure enforcement of its prohibitions. Prohibited activities include:

A. Nude entertainment, nude dancing, or venues containing nudity, sexually oriented businesses, or adult entertainment businesses.

B. Fuel dispensing facilities for motor vehicles.

C. Use of cannabis and commercial cannabis activity (including sales, cultivation, processing).

Section 12. Problem Gambling Program.

A. To address potential behavioral and psychological issues associated with problem gambling in the Barstow area associated with access to gambling at the Casino Resort, the Tribe shall contract with a non-profit organization located in the state of California that specializes in problem and responsible gambling assistance and preservation services and programs to establish a Problem

1.a
Packet Pg. 19
Attachment: Att. 1 Resolution Restated MSA Coyote (5796 : Municipal Services Agreement Between Los Coyotes Band of Cahuilla and Cupeño Restated Municipal Services Agreement — Page 8
Gambling Program consistent with Exhibit E. The Problem Gambling Program shall include local problem gambling diversion, assistance, and counseling programs consistent with Exhibit E.

B. The Tribe shall fund the Problem Gambling Program, and shall ensure that it is established and implemented prior to groundbreaking on the Casino Resort.

C. The Tribal-City Advisory Committee shall review the Problem Gambling Program to ensure at a minimum those activities expressed in Exhibit E are being addressed. The Tribal-City Advisory Committee shall review the Tribal obligations related to problem gambling addressed in any Department of the Interior-approved gaming compact entered into by the Tribe and the state of California to ensure that efforts to address problem gambling at the local level are not duplicated without providing additional local benefit. The Tribal-City Advisory Committee shall at least annually review the efforts of the Problem Gambling Program to reevaluate the effectiveness of the program and whether such efforts under the Problem Gambling Program are still warranted given the efforts addressed through the state compact.

Section 13. Impact Fund
The Tribe and the City acknowledge that, because of the status of the Trust Lands, the City will lose potential tax revenues from the land and transfer of the land as Trust Land. To address costs and impacts that may not already be covered by the fees and reimbursements for services otherwise described and agreed to in this Agreement, the Tribe agrees to create an Impact Fund controlled by the Tribe by setting aside and holding 0.5% annually of net revenue obtained from activities on Trust Lands. The intent of the Impact Fund is to reserve funds available to make the City whole for unanticipated impacts not contemplated in this Agreement. This includes reimbursement for activities associated with the issues enumerated in this Agreement not otherwise funded, including replacement, maintenance, and refurbishment of equipment and facilities to further address impacts. This also include impacts not otherwise previously identified at the time of this Agreement that the City and Tribe agree are reasonably related to the Casino Resort. The City shall not be entitled to such amounts unless such impacts are adequately and reasonably documented by the City and presented for determination by the Parties. The Tribal-City Advisory Committee shall review requests for use of the Impact Fund for true-up of actual impacts, payment of latter identified impacts, and adjustment for unanticipated needs. Determination of release of monies from the Impact Fund shall be at the sole discretion of the Tribe’s Executive Council, after consulting with the Advisory Committee.

The Tribe shall contract directly with the County of San Bernardino for prosecutorial and defense services (District Attorney/Public Defender) and costs for such services shall be paid by the Tribe directly to the County. If the Tribe is unable to reach terms with the County for prosecution and defense services, then the Parties shall conduct further negotiations regarding provision of such services to the Tribe. Failure of the Parties to reach agreement shall constitute grounds for invocation of the Dispute Resolution provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, gaming operations shall not commence at the Resort until resolution and agreement of the Parties concerning the provision of prosecutorial and defense services.

Matters Incidental to the Performance of Any Law Enforcement.

EXHIBIT G
Barstow Fire Protection District Services
This is Exhibit G to the Restated Municipal Services Agreement (“Agreement”) between the City of Barstow (“City”) and the Los Coyotes Band of Cahuilla and Cupeño Indians (“Tribe”), and the Parties to the Agreement agree that the provisions hereof are a part of the Agreement.

Fire Protection Services.

The Barstow Fire Protection District will be the primary fire protection agency serving the Resort and all facilities located thereon. The tribal property shall receive the same level of fire protection as is provided to any other resident or business within the City.

The Barstow Fire Protection District will relocate fire fighting equipment to Station 363 and then to any new fire station, in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.B of the Agreement.

Standards of performance, training, discipline and other matters incidental to the performance of any fire service-related services.

The standards of performance, training, discipline and other matters incidental to the performance of any fire service-related services rendered under this Agreement shall be determined solely by the Barstow Fire Protection District.

If the Tribe creates a tribal fire and/or emergency medical services (“EMS”) unit which is assigned to the Casino Resort, the Barstow Fire Protection District will assist the Tribe with the cross training required to provide a smooth and effective working relationship, and will assist the Tribe as needed to review written policies and guidelines for tribal fire and EMS personnel as well as expectations for the tribal personnel to interface effectively and smoothly with the operations of the Barstow Fire Protection District. If cross training of tribal fire and EMS personnel is conducted by the Barstow Fire Protection District, then fees will be assessed for such training on the basis of hourly charges calculated on the basis of the salary of Barstow Fire Protection District personnel involved in such training.

Emergency Medical Services.

The Parties recognize that significant emergency response services will be required by the Tribe’s Casino Resort to be constructed within the City on tribal Trust Lands. The Barstow Fire Protection District customarily is the first responder for Emergency Medical Services (“EMS”) although it is understood that the Tribe intends to have tribal EMS personnel on duty at the Casino Resort, in which case tribal EMS personnel will be the first responder. EMS services will be provided by Barstow Fire Protection District firefighter paramedics. Ambulance transportation service shall be conducted by an ambulance transport provider designated by the Inland Counties Emergency Medical Agency (ICEMA) for the Barstow area.

Attachment: Att. 1 Resolution Restated MSA Coyote (5796 : Municipal Services Agreement Between Los Coyotes Band of Cahuilla and Cupeño Restated Municipal Services Agreement — Page 29
Fire Protection and Response Services.

The Parties recognize that significant additional fire protection and response services will be required by the Tribe’s Casino Resort to be constructed within the City on tribal Trust Lands. The scope of said services was detailed in the Final EIS.

Based on the uses proposed amenities, features, uses, square footage, layout, and depiction of the Casino Resort in section 2.22. of the Final EIS, the Barstow Fire Protection District has determined that a tractor drawn aerial apparatus (ladder truck) and a fire engine will be necessary to be added to the Fire District inventory of apparatus available to address fire and emergency services at the Casino Resort. In addition to these two apparatuses, personnel will be required to staff such apparatus. The need for the ladder truck is due to the size and configuration of the casino building and a structure up to four stories in height. The size of the Casino Resort necessitates an additional fire engine. The design of the Casino Resort with a structure over four stories requires additional firefighter training, as a ladder truck is not typically used to fight a fire on a building more than four stories in height. Rather, such a high-rise fire requires entry by Fire Department personnel and personal action at the burning site. If a structure exceeding four stories in height is constructed by the Tribe on Trust Lands, the Tribe will pay the actual costs of training Fire District personnel to fight high-rise fires. The staffing demand for 24-hour coverage for the new ladder truck will require hiring 3 captains, 3 engineers, and 6 firefighter/paramedics. The staffing demand for 24-hour coverage for the new fire engine will require hiring 3 captains, 3 engineers, and 3 firefighter/paramedics. The additional staffing requirements will necessitate hiring an office assistant.

To accommodate anticipated added burdens, the Parties agree to the following:

1. Dedication of land. The Tribe shall cause to be acquired and dedicated to the City a twoacre parcel of land for use as a fire station, consistent with Section 4.B of this Agreement.

Such transfer shall be completed within 180 days after the Bureau of Indian Affairs accepts fee title to the Trust Lands.

2. Construction of Fire Station. The Tribe shall be responsible for the costs of design and construction of a fire station with the following minimum characteristics: two apparatus bays to service the ladder truck and fire engine specified herein; support/living facilities to support the fire personnel associated with such specified apparatuses; and office space for a public safety office for the police personnel described herein. Within one year of the Trust Lands having been placed into trust by the Department of the Interior, the Tribe shall pay the City an initial sum of $7,000,000.00 for construction of the fire and police facility, consistent with Section 4.B of this Agreement. City shall be responsible for construction of the public safety facility. In the event that construction, design, and staff costs associated with construction exceed such sum, City shall advise Tribe of the cost difference, and Tribe shall remit such sum to City prior to commencement of gaming operations at the Casino Resort.

7. Office Assistant. The Tribe will pay for one office assistant: one-time cost, $96,470; annual costs, $98,882.

8. Administrative Overhead. The Tribe will pay for administrative overhead: one-time cost, $1,038,908; annual costs, $1,084,876.

Dear Andrew,
Enclosed herewith is a copy of the Restated Municipal Services Agreement (Agreement) that has been executed by Chairman Ray Chapparosa on behalf of the Los Coyotes Band of Cahuilla and Cupeño Indians. This version of the Agreement also includes the final, executed Tribal Resolutions establishing Zoning, Building, and Environmental Protection standards that will be applicable to the Barstow Trust Lands, which have been incorporated in the Agreement respectively at Exhibits H, I and J. As confirmed in the Agreement, the Tribe’s plan has been, and continues to be, to build “Alternative B” as described in the Final EIS (and indeed the Final EIS identifies Alternative B as the “Proposed Project” as well as the “Preferred Alternative”).

The Tribe appreciates and greatly values its relationship with the City, and appreciates the City’s significant efforts to help us work to finalize the Agreement. We believe submission of the Agreement is the last thing needed to allow the Department of the Interior to take action on the Tribe’s request that a “two-part determination” (a determination that the proposed project is in the best interest of the Tribe, and not detrimental to the surrounding community) be sent to Governor Gavin Newsom for his concurrence.

As we all know, time is of the essence, so the Tribe very much appreciates the City taking final action on the Restated Municipal Services Agreement as quickly as is possible.

Sincerely,
V. Heather Sibbison
cc: The Hon. Ray Chapparosa, Chairman

WHEREAS, the City supports the Tribe’s fee-to-trust application because it anticipates that the Tribe’s proposed development of the property will benefit the surrounding community, and as presented and mitigated will not be detrimental to the surrounding community; WHEREAS, the Tribe appreciates and values the City’s support for the Tribe’s application and request to Interior, and wishes to enter into this Agreement with the City to memorialize the cooperation between the Tribe and the City;
WHEREAS, the Tribe wishes to receive services from the City on the Trust Lands (“City Services”) and to provide payment to the City for those services;
WHEREAS, the City is capable of providing, and willing to provide, a full range of municipal services for uses of the Tribe’s Trust Lands; and
WHEREAS, the terms and conditions of this Agreement evidence the goodwill and cooperation of the Tribe and the City in continuing their mutually respectful government-to-government relationship that will serve their mutual interests.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties agree as follows:

Section 1. Land to be Taken into Trust.

A. The Tribe has requested that the United States take into trust for its benefit land approximately 23.1 acres in size as identified in Exhibit A appended hereto (“Trust Lands”). The Tribe confirms that it has enacted a tribal law that provides that the Tribe’s commercial use and development of the Trust Lands will exclusively include: (a) the development and operation of a Casino Resort, which will offer Class III and/or Class II gaming, as defined in IGRA, and other facilities (together “Casino Resort” as defined in Exhibit B), in conformity with the requirements of IGRA, the requirements of all other applicable state and federal laws, and consistent with the commitments it has made in this Agreement; and (b) other gaming-related uses as described in Exhibit B, so long as such related uses are intended primarily to facilitate the operation of the Casino Resort. The services described herein address the potential and identified impacts of the Casino Resort, described as Alternative B in section 2.2.2 of the Final Environmental Impact Statement (“Final EIS”) available at https://barstoweis.com/documents/final_eis-teir/report.htm. The tribal law also confirms the Tribe’s commitment that it will not undertake additional development on the Trust Lands without amending this Agreement to address potential impacts.

B. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the City understands that at its discretion the Tribe may use some of the physical space within Casino Resort for non-commercial tribal governmental functions. Non-exclusive examples include use of meeting space for tribal member meetings or tribal cultural events, and use of office and administrative space for the provision of governmental service such as a health care clinic or educational services. The Tribe agrees that no change of the

1.b
Packet Pg. 59
Attachment: Att. 2 Letter Heather Sibbison (5796 : Municipal Services Agreement Between Los Coyotes Band of Cahuilla and Cupeño Idians) Restated Municipal Services Agreement — Page 3
commercial use of Tribal Trust Lands will occur unless the City is consulted to adjust impacts on the City. Any impacts on the City shall be addressed through an amendment to this Agreement.

Section 2. Tribal Building Standards for Barstow Trust Lands.

A. The Tribe has adopted a tribal law, embodied in a Resolution entitled, “Building Standards for the Barstow Trust Lands” (Exhibit I), that establishes building standards that are consistent with the California Building Codes and are applicable to all tribal development projects occurring on the Trust Lands. The Tribe shall continue to maintain building standards no less stringent than the California Building Codes. Prior to the use of any structure constructed on the Trust Lands, the Tribe shall provide the City, at the Tribe’s expense, written certification from the project’s architect of record that said structures have been constructed in accordance with said standards.

B. The Tribe agrees to contract with the City to provide planning, building and safety, fire prevention, and public works personnel to review any and all construction plans and inspect construction of all improvements on the Trust Lands within Barstow to ensure consistency with the Tribe’s adopted Building Standards for the Barstow Trust Lands on behalf of the Tribe. The City shall, to the extent consistent with State law, keep such construction plans confidential in light of the interest of the Parties in maintaining the security of the Casino Resort.

Section 3. Environmental Review.

A. The Bureau of Indian Affairs has conducted an extensive review of the Tribe’s Casino Resort project to determine its impact on the environment. That review was prepared pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (“NEPA”) after extensive public consultation.

The result of that review is embodied in a publicly-available Final Environmental Impact Statement (“Final EIS”), which is available to the public at https://barstoweis.com/documents/final_eisteir/report.htm. This Agreement is intended to address the impacts identified in the Final EIS, and is updated to address policy changes in federal law and refinement of obligations to address potential impacts to the City. The Final EIS contains mitigation measures that address environmental impacts of the proposed Casino Resort project, which this Agreement in part implements. The Parties understand that if the Tribe petitions the federal government to take more land in trust in Barstow for any purpose of future development (“Additional Tribal Trust Lands”), a new environmental analysis under NEPA will be required.

B. As of the date of this Agreement, there are no planned tribal development projects anywhere in Barstow except the Casino Resort project on the Trust Lands. Nevertheless, the Tribe has adopted a tribal law, embodied in a Resolution entitled, “Environmental Review Standards for the Barstow Trust Lands” (Exhibit J), providing for the preparation, circulation, and consideration by the City and the public, of detailed environmental analyses concerning the potential environmental impacts of any future tribal development projects that have not already been generally reviewed in the Final EIS identified in Paragraph A of this Section or otherwise reviewed

1.b
Packet Pg. 60
Attachment: Att. 2 Letter Heather Sibbison (5796 : Municipal Services Agreement Between Los Coyotes Band of Cahuilla and Cupeño Idians) Restated Municipal Services Agreement — Page 4
under any other federally prepared NEPA analysis. (The parties acknowledge that the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) does not apply to the sovereign Trust Lands.) The Tribe’s Environmental Review Standards are and will remain consistent with the policies and purposes of NEPA. The Tribe agrees that:

1. All environmental analyses conducted pursuant to the Tribe’s Environmental Review Standards shall be provided to the City not less than 30 days prior to the commencement of any development.

2. The Tribe will consult and cooperate with the City to review and discuss potentially significant impacts and reasonable and appropriate mitigation measures specific to tribal development projects, and shall act in compliance with the Tribe’s Environmental Review Standards in a manner consistent with the policies and purposes of NEPA to mitigate impacts stemming from tribal development on Trust Lands.

C. The Parties understand and agree that the Tribe may in the future undertake other development projects on non-trust land, in which case CEQA shall apply. Such projects will also be subject to applicable provisions of the Barstow Municipal Code.

Section 4. Police and Fire Personnel and Services.

The Parties recognize and agree that the Casino Resort to be developed and operated on the Trust Lands by the Tribe will necessitate an increased presence of police and fire personnel. The Parties agree that certain impacts on the City’s police and fire services will result from the development of the Casino Resort necessitating the need for additional police and fire service personnel and equipment. The Parties agree that the level of service described herein and in Exhibits F (Police) and G (Fire) is necessary to address such unmet need. Unless and until the Tribe develops its own tribal police and/or fire services to address the needs identified herein and in Exhibits F and G, the City shall provide police and fire services as described and agreed to herein.

In the event that the Tribe develops its own tribal police and/or fire services, the Parties agree to negotiate and cooperate in the phase-in and transition of such services, and negotiate regarding sale of apparatus described herein.

A. Fire and Police Services

1. The City agrees to provide 24-hour police and fire suppression personnel and services to the Tribe at the same levels as provided to the City and its residents, except as provided herein and in Exhibits F (Police) and G (Fire) appended hereto. The City shall be compensated for providing such services consistent with Exhibits F and G.

2. Consistent with federal law, police services shall include the authority to enforce any and all applicable state criminal laws on Trust Lands, which shall include,

1.b
Packet Pg. 61
Attachment: Att. 2 Letter Heather Sibbison (5796 : Municipal Services Agreement Between Los Coyotes Band of Cahuilla and Cupeño Idians) Restated Municipal Services Agreement — Page 5
but not be limited to, 24-hour patrol services and response to emergency 911 calls, and general investigations for major crimes as the Barstow Police Department deems necessary.

3. When practical, the Police Department will attempt to notify the Tribe’s designated public safety or security director and shall coordinate and cooperate with designated casino security force personnel, if any, except when, in the judgment of the law enforcement officers involved, their safety, the safety of the public, or the integrity of an investigation or enforcement action, would be compromised by doing so.

4. Whenever the Tribe schedules a Special Event (defined in Exhibit F) on the Trust Lands which is anticipated to require law enforcement personnel above the level of staffing called for in this Agreement, the Parties will negotiate appropriate additional reasonable compensation to the City to cover the additional costs incurred by the City as a result of the Special Event, consistent with Exhibits F and G.

5. All persons employed in the performance of law enforcement and fire service-related functions pursuant to this Agreement shall be employees or contractors of the City, other public safety agencies having primary jurisdiction within the City, or agencies which have mutual aid agreements with the City when responding to a request for services under this Agreement.

6. The Tribe shall contract directly with the County of San Bernardino for prosecutorial and defense services (District Attorney/Public Defender), and costs for such services shall be paid by the Tribe directly to the County. The Tribe has agreed that it will not commence gaming operations at the Casino Resort on the Trust Lands until resolution and agreement concerning the provision of prosecutorial and defense services.

B. Fire and Police Structures.

1. Within 180 days of the Trust Lands being placed into trust by the Department of the Interior, in order to allow construction of a fire and police facility nearby the Casino Resort by the time of commencement of operations at the Casino Resort on Trust Lands, the Tribe shall dedicate or arrange for the dedication to the City two acres of non-federal land that is owned or under the control of the Tribe or its development partner and is near the Casino Resort -- for fire and police station use -- on which the City will construct new fire and police stations when, and if, deemed necessary by the City in its sole discretion. The configuration and location of the donated site must be approved by the City.

2. Within one year of the Trust Lands being placed into trust by the Department of the Interior, the Tribe shall pay the City a sum of $7,000,000.00 for the initial construction costs associated with the fire and police facility. Such money shall be

1.b
Packet Pg. 62
Attachment: Att. 2 Letter Heather Sibbison (5796 : Municipal Services Agreement Between Los Coyotes Band of Cahuilla and Cupeño Idians) Restated Municipal Services Agreement — Page 6
held in trust by the City until such time a cost is determined for such facility after design and bidding. In the event that construction, design, and staff costs associated with construction exceed such sum, the City shall advise the Tribe of the cost difference, and the Tribe shall remit such sum to the City prior to commencement of gaming operations at the Casino Resort. In the event that construction, design, and staff costs associated with construction are less than such sum, or such facility is not constructed, the City shall return the remainder amount to the Tribe. In the event that another tribe constructs a gaming development like the Casino Resort within the City of Barstow within five years from time of commencement of gaming operations, City shall seek reimbursement from that tribe for such fire and police facility on a proportional basis.

Section 5. Roads and Traffic Circulation.

The Bureau of Indian Affairs has conducted a traffic impact analysis, consistent with San Bernardino Associated Governments Congestion Management Program requirements, as part of its comprehensive review of potential project impacts in the Final EIS (see Section 3). As provided in the Final EIS, Chapter 5.7, the Tribe agrees to work with the City to implement recommended traffic mitigation measures and to complete or fund those mitigation measures identified in the Final EIS, and agrees to pay all required traffic mitigation fees consistent with the City’s fee programs and ordinances and pay for all road improvements that are reasonable and necessary. The Tribe further agrees that, if an increase in traffic is caused by the Tribe’s undertaking of other development projects on Trust Lands and additional road improvements or expansions are required, the Tribe shall grant suitable rights-of-way to the City in order to accommodate the necessary road improvements or expansions and make the necessary improvements.

Section 6. Sewer Service.

The Tribe will construct sewage disposal improvements on the Trust Lands with connection to the City’s existing sewer collection system in the City at the property line of the Trust Lands. The Tribe agrees to pay sewer connection fees and monthly sewer service charges, obtain required easements for sewer infrastructure if needed, construct to City sewer infrastructure standards, and pay all costs of constructing sewer infrastructure (even if located outside the Trust Lands) necessary to connect the Casino Resort to existing sewer services. The Tribe agrees that no use shall occur on the Trust Lands (before or after the land has been put in trust) until sewer service is completed and inspected pursuant to Sections 2, 3, and 7 of this Agreement. Any approvals by the City required to implement this Section shall not be unreasonably withheld, and the standards referred to in this Section shall be substantially identical to those applied by the City to other similar users.

Section 7. Utilities.

The Tribe shall obtain water and electricity for the Trust Lands as follows:

A. Water from the Golden State Water Company.

1.b
Packet Pg. 63
Attachment: Att. 2 Letter Heather Sibbison (5796 : Municipal Services Agreement Between Los Coyotes Band of Cahuilla and Cupeño Idians) Restated Municipal Services Agreement — Page 7
B. Electricity from either the Southern California Edison Company or through purchase on the open market. Solar power may be produced on site.

Section 8. Solid Waste Disposal.

The Tribe wishes to utilize the City’s franchised solid waste disposal company for all solid waste and recycled materials generated by tribal development projects and agrees to pay the same rates and fees associated with such use normally paid by commercial accounts within the City.

Section 9. Tribal Employment Preference.

The Tribe intends to implement a tribal employment preference policy to prioritize employment for its members. Subject to tribal employment preferences and applicable law, the Tribe shall provide qualified City residents hiring preference at the Tribe’s Casino Resort facilities.

The Tribe shall offer training programs to assist City residents in becoming qualified for positions at the Casino Resort to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Section 10. Alcohol Service and Sales.

Consistent with applicable federal law, all alcohol beverage service shall be subject to State liquor laws on the Trust Lands. To the degree any cooperation is required by the City, such cooperation shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Section 11. Prohibited Activities.

The Tribe has adopted a tribal law, embodied in a Tribal Resolution entitled, “Zoning Standards for the Barstow Trust Lands” (Exhibit H), that prohibits the conduct of certain activities at any time on the Trust Lands, and provides an enforcement structure to assure enforcement of its prohibitions. Prohibited activities include:

A. Nude entertainment, nude dancing, or venues containing nudity, sexually oriented businesses, or adult entertainment businesses.

B. Fuel dispensing facilities for motor vehicles.

C. Use of cannabis and commercial cannabis activity (including sales, cultivation, processing).

Section 12. Problem Gambling Program.

A. To address potential behavioral and psychological issues associated with problem gambling in the Barstow area associated with access to gambling at the Casino Resort, the Tribe shall contract with a non-profit organization located in the state of California that specializes in problem and responsible gambling assistance and preservation services and programs to establish a Problem

1.b
Packet Pg. 64
Attachment: Att. 2 Letter Heather Sibbison (5796 : Municipal Services Agreement Between Los Coyotes Band of Cahuilla and Cupeño Idians) Restated Municipal Services Agreement — Page 8
Gambling Program consistent with Exhibit E. The Problem Gambling Program shall include local problem gambling diversion, assistance, and counseling programs consistent with Exhibit E.

B. The Tribe shall fund the Problem Gambling Program, and shall ensure that it is established and implemented prior to groundbreaking on the Casino Resort.

C. The Tribal-City Advisory Committee shall review the Problem Gambling Program to ensure at a minimum those activities expressed in Exhibit E are being addressed. The Tribal-City Advisory Committee shall review the Tribal obligations related to problem gambling addressed in any Department of the Interior-approved gaming compact entered into by the Tribe and the state of California to ensure that efforts to address problem gambling at the local level are not duplicated without providing additional local benefit. The Tribal-City Advisory Committee shall at least annually review the efforts of the Problem Gambling Program to reevaluate the effectiveness of the program and whether such efforts under the Problem Gambling Program are still warranted given the efforts addressed through the state compact.

Section 13. Impact Fund
The Tribe and the City acknowledge that, because of the status of the Trust Lands, the City will lose potential tax revenues from the land and transfer of the land as Trust Land. To address costs and impacts that may not already be covered by the fees and reimbursements for services otherwise described and agreed to in this Agreement, the Tribe agrees to create an Impact Fund controlled by the Tribe by setting aside and holding 0.5% annually of net revenue obtained from activities on Trust Lands. The intent of the Impact Fund is to reserve funds available to make the City whole for unanticipated impacts not contemplated in this Agreement. This includes reimbursement for activities associated with the issues enumerated in this Agreement not otherwise funded, including replacement, maintenance, and refurbishment of equipment and facilities to further address impacts. This also include impacts not otherwise previously identified at the time of this Agreement that the City and Tribe agree are reasonably related to the Casino Resort. The City shall not be entitled to such amounts unless such impacts are adequately and reasonably documented by the City and presented for determination by the Parties. The Tribal-City Advisory Committee shall review requests for use of the Impact Fund for true-up of actual impacts, payment of latter identified impacts, and adjustment for unanticipated needs. Determination of release of monies from the Impact Fund shall be at the sole discretion of the Tribe’s Executive Council, after consulting with the Advisory Committee.

The City shall enforce state penal law within the boundaries of the Trust Lands as described in Exhibit A to the Agreement to the full extent that City is authorized under California law, the Tribe’s Class III Gaming Compact with the State of California and this Agreement to exercise its police power.

The Tribe shall contract directly with the County of San Bernardino for prosecutorial and defense services (District Attorney/Public Defender) and costs for such services shall be paid by the Tribe directly to the County. If the Tribe is unable to reach terms with the County for prosecution and defense services, then the Parties shall conduct further negotiations regarding provision of such services to the Tribe. Failure of the Parties to reach agreement shall constitute grounds for invocation of the Dispute Resolution provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, gaming operations shall not commence at the Resort until resolution and agreement of the Parties concerning the provision of prosecutorial and defense services.

Matters Incidental to the Performance of Any Law Enforcement.

The standards of performance, training, discipline and other matters incidental to the performance of any law enforcement services rendered under this Agreement shall be determined solely by the City or agency involved in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

EXHIBIT G
Barstow Fire Protection District Services
This is Exhibit G to the Restated Municipal Services Agreement (“Agreement”) between the City of Barstow (“City”) and the Los Coyotes Band of Cahuilla and Cupeño Indians (“Tribe”), and the Parties to the Agreement agree that the provisions hereof are a part of the Agreement.

Fire Protection Services.

The Barstow Fire Protection District will be the primary fire protection agency serving the Resort and all facilities located thereon. The tribal property shall receive the same level of fire protection as is provided to any other resident or business within the City.

The Barstow Fire Protection District will relocate fire fighting equipment to Station 363 and then to any new fire station, in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.B of the Agreement.

Standards of performance, training, discipline and other matters incidental to the performance of any fire service-related services.

The standards of performance, training, discipline and other matters incidental to the performance of any fire service-related services rendered under this Agreement shall be determined solely by the Barstow Fire Protection District.

If the Tribe creates a tribal fire and/or emergency medical services (“EMS”) unit which is assigned to the Casino Resort, the Barstow Fire Protection District will assist the Tribe with the cross training required to provide a smooth and effective working relationship, and will assist the Tribe as needed to review written policies and guidelines for tribal fire and EMS personnel as well as expectations for the tribal personnel to interface effectively and smoothly with the operations of the Barstow Fire Protection District. If cross training of tribal fire and EMS personnel is conducted by the Barstow Fire Protection District, then fees will be assessed for such training on the basis of hourly charges calculated on the basis of the salary of Barstow Fire Protection District personnel involved in such training.

Emergency Medical Services.

The Parties recognize that significant emergency response services will be required by the Tribe’s Casino Resort to be constructed within the City on tribal Trust Lands. The Barstow Fire Protection District customarily is the first responder for Emergency Medical Services (“EMS”) although it is understood that the Tribe intends to have tribal EMS personnel on duty at the Casino Resort, in which case tribal EMS personnel will be the first responder. EMS services will be provided by Barstow Fire Protection District firefighter paramedics. Ambulance transportation service shall be conducted by an ambulance transport provider designated by the Inland Counties Emergency Medical Agency (ICEMA) for the Barstow area.

Fire Protection and Response Services.

The Parties recognize that significant additional fire protection and response services will be required by the Tribe’s Casino Resort to be constructed within the City on tribal Trust Lands. The scope of said services was detailed in the Final EIS.

Based on the uses proposed amenities, features, uses, square footage, layout, and depiction of the Casino Resort in section 2.22. of the Final EIS, the Barstow Fire Protection District has determined that a tractor drawn aerial apparatus (ladder truck) and a fire engine will be necessary to be added to the Fire District inventory of apparatus available to address fire and emergency services at the Casino Resort. In addition to these two apparatuses, personnel will be required to staff such apparatus. The need for the ladder truck is due to the size and configuration of the casino building and a structure up to four stories in height. The size of the Casino Resort necessitates an additional fire engine. The design of the Casino Resort with a structure over four stories requires additional firefighter training, as a ladder truck is not typically used to fight a fire on a building more than four stories in height. Rather, such a high-rise fire requires entry by Fire Department personnel and personal action at the burning site. If a structure exceeding four stories in height is constructed by the Tribe on Trust Lands, the Tribe will pay the actual costs of training Fire District personnel to fight high-rise fires. The staffing demand for 24-hour coverage for the new ladder truck will require hiring 3 captains, 3 engineers, and 6 firefighter/paramedics. The staffing demand for 24-hour coverage for the new fire engine will require hiring 3 captains, 3 engineers, and 3 firefighter/paramedics. The additional staffing requirements will necessitate hiring an office assistant.

To accommodate anticipated added burdens, the Parties agree to the following:

1. Dedication of land. The Tribe shall cause to be acquired and dedicated to the City a twoacre parcel of land for use as a fire station, consistent with Section 4.B of this Agreement.

Such transfer shall be completed within 180 days after the Bureau of Indian Affairs accepts fee title to the Trust Lands.

2. Construction of Fire Station. The Tribe shall be responsible for the costs of design and construction of a fire station with the following minimum characteristics: two apparatus bays to service the ladder truck and fire engine specified herein; support/living facilities to support the fire personnel associated with such specified apparatuses; and office space for a public safety office for the police personnel described herein. Within one year of the Trust Lands having been placed into trust by the Department of the Interior, the Tribe shall pay the City an initial sum of $7,000,000.00 for construction of the fire and police facility, consistent with Section 4.B of this Agreement. City shall be responsible for construction of the public safety facility. In the event that construction, design, and staff costs associated with construction exceed such sum, City shall advise Tribe of the cost difference, and Tribe shall remit such sum to City prior to commencement of gaming operations at the Casino Resort.

7. Office Assistant. The Tribe will pay for one office assistant: one-time cost, $96,470; annual costs, $98,882.

8. Administrative Overhead. The Tribe will pay for administrative overhead: one-time cost, $1,038,908; annual costs, $1,084,876.
