Recently the City of Marquette Police Department asked the City of Marquette (City) to serve as the fiscal pass-through agent for funding from the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community. They plan to ask the Tribe for $10,485.83 for the purchase of fitness equipment. In consideration of the City agreeing to act as a pass-through, the Marquette Police Department agrees to dedicate any funds from the KBIC to the purposes set forth in the attached agreement prepared by the City Attorney.

Proceeds from the Tribe's 2% gaming revenue would be used to fund the request; gaming regulations require that a local municipality serve as the fiscal agent for such awards.  This payment is not allocated to the City of Marquette government, but is a contribution to the Marquette Police Department.
