SDF Payment definition
SDF Payment means monies received by the City from the State Distribution Fund (“SDF”) that was created under State law pursuant to the Original Compact and into which the Tribe made contributions prior to the Compact’s amendment in 2008. Although payments by the Tribe to the State under the amended Compact are not required to be allocated to the SDF, those payments to the State are far in excess of what the Tribe was paying to the State for the SDF under the Original Compact, and the State may continue to appropriate some of such money to the SDF or similar uses that benefit the City. In addition, the State has some funds remaining in the original SDF that have not yet been paid to the City. Any payment received by the City from or through the State related to Indian gaming revenues therefore shall be included within the term “SDF Payment.”
