TRIBAL PROGRAM NEWS AND NOTICES
Community Meetings Scheduled for Comprehensive
Plan Update
During the last two weeks of February and the first two weeks of March, the
Planning Department of the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians will be coming
to each area office to meet with the tribal members. The purpose of these meetings
is to review with the membership the goals, objectives, and priorities that they
established in the 1994 Comprehensive Plan.
Tribal members are invited to share their comments as we review our past
accomplishments, and share with staff and Council your thoughts about what our
focus should be as we move forward. Community meeting dates are as follows:
