constitutional functions as the executive and
legislative branches of the GTB government. The legal

litigation, and professional advice related to the
programmatic functions and interactions of the GTB
tribal government with its tribal citizens and the

Other Department FunctionsThe 2%
program is the result of the Consent Decree, which
settled Tribes v. Engler (Case no. 1:90-CV-611, U.S.
District Court, Western District Michigan). With this
settlement, the Grand Traverse Band agreed to pay 2% of
its video gaming revenue to local units of government,
as defined in the stipulation, no later than 60 days
after October 1st and March 31st of each year. This
payment schedule was modified with the consent of the
State of Michigan to July 31st and January 31st of each
year because the fiscal year of the Grand Traverse
Band's gaming operation is calendar-based. As of the
most recent distribution cycle, June 2007, the Grand
Traverse Band has allocated 2% funding to local units of
government totaling $19,871,785.79. |
