The Amador County Local Indian Gaming Benefit Committee, with the sponsorship of the Jackson Rancheria Band of Miwuk Indians, forwarded the approved grants to the State Controller's Office. Priorities for funding have been established by the state, and include such things as law enforcement, fire services, emergency medical services, environmental impacts, youth programs, health, water supplies, waste disposal and roads. The County, its cities, and special districts within the County affected by tribal gaming are eligible to apply for grants.
