From Staff and Wire Reports

The City Council has endorsed a gambling compact between a Pomo Indian group and the state, an early step toward bringing a casino to the Richmond waterfront.

The Scotts Valley band of Pomo Indians has offered $10 million for Terminal 3 at the Port of Richmond, where it hopes to build a casino-hotel complex.

To do so, the band must get a Class 3 gambling license, which requires a pact with the state.
