The Guidiville Band of Pomo Indians is seeking claim to an isolated promontory on San Francisco Bay under a “restored lands” provision of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, passed by Congress in 1988.
“There is abundant evidence that they used to own this land for a long time,” said Michael Derry, the chief executive of the Guidiville Band.
The city previously entered into an agreement with Upstream, an Emeryville development company to develop Point Molate, who later formed a partnership with the tribe to build a $1.2 billion resort with two luxury hotels, a casino with 4,000 slot machines, an entertainment complex, a shopping center, tribal offices, a public ferry terminal and housing.
While Mayor Gayle McLaughlin opposes the project, a majority of the Richmond city council and Contra Costa County supports it, since the developer will pay the city $50 million for the property and another $20 million annually.
However critics fear that approval will lead to any number of the 109 tribes in California to file similar requests and open areas in San Diego, Sacramento and Los Angeles to gambling contradicting the Proposition passed in 2000, designed to steer Indian gaming into rural areas.
