The city council in Kenosha, Wisconsin, approved two agreements for the Menominee Nation's proposed off-reservation casino.

The tribe agreed to share revenues with the city and reimburse the city for municipal services. The council voted 13-2 to approve the agreements.

The tribe wants to convert an old dog track into a Class III casino. The tribe has asked the Bureau of Indian Affairs to place the land in trust but the Forest County Potawatomi Tribe, which operates a casino in Milwaukee, is opposed.
