$66,500 to help support Placer County services

Lincoln, Calif. – The United Auburn Indian Community (UAIC) and Placer County announced today the distribution of $66,500 to support numerous organizations and departments in Placer County.

The decision was reached by the Indian Gaming Local Community Benefit Committee (IGLCBC) after applications were reviewed. The IGLCBC was set up in 2005 to help offset impacts associated with Indian gaming with the intent of identifying areas of need from UAIC’s gaming revenue.

“The UAIC is proud to make this contribution to help these organizations and departments in Placer County,” said David Keyser, Chairman of the UAIC. “This contribution is targeted to areas where it will make the most significant difference and assist departments with unique projects and responsibilities.”

Members of the committee include representatives from the Placer County Board of Supervisors, the City Councils of Lincoln, Rocklin and Roseville and the United Auburn Indian Community. Current committee members are United Auburn Indian Community Chairman David Keyser and Secretary Gene Whitehouse, Placer County Supervisors Robert Weygandt and Jim Holmes, Lincoln Mayor Spencer Short, Rocklin Councilmember Diana Ruslin, and Roseville Mayor Pauline Roccucci.
 
The reestablishment of the United Auburn Indian Tribe began in the early 1990s when the Department of Interior documented the existence of a separate, cohesive band of Maidu and Miwok Indians, occupying a village on the outskirts of the City of Auburn in Placer County. A federally recognized Indian tribe, the United Auburn Indian Community is a sovereign government and owns nearby Thunder Valley Casino Resort.
