COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SURVEY I Comprehensive Plan Update Request for Recommendations I Purpose Comprehensive Plan Update Tribal Member Questionnaire I The Confederated Tribes of Siletz, in 1994, adopted a I Comprehensive Plan that documented the process that the I tribe followed in establishing priorities, goals, and objectives I for the next 10 years. The Comprehensive Plan calls for I annual accomplishment reports by staff in order to assess the I degree to which we have been successful in achieving To help gather input from tribal members regarding the Comprehensive Plan, priorities, goals, and objectives, the following questionnaire was developed. Q: Are there existing priorities, goals, or objectives that you would like to comment on? our goals. | Process The tribe embarked on a series of community meetings in February and early March in an effort to provide tribal members with regular updates of tribal accomplishments toward fulfilling these priorities, goals and objectives. The tribe also is mailing out a survey to obtain input from as many tribal members as possible. “Seventeen major issue areas are defined in the Comprehensive Plan, which are key to the future growth and I development of the Siletz Tribe. These issues encompass a Q: Are there additional priorities, goals, or objectives that you believe should be included in the Comprehensive Plan? broad spectrum of topics that the Tribal Council, tribal staff, and tribal membership must consider when making decisions relating to current and long-range planning.” The 17 priorities are listed on pages 14 and 15, along with the goals and objectives adopted for each. We will review with the membership the major accomplishments toward achieving the goals. We hope that tribal members will, following this review, work with staff in identifying additional goals and objectives that the tribe should pursue, and provide guidance I to the staff on the appropriate methods for achieving these. Following the community meetings, staff will prepare a presentation to the Tribal Council of the input received and the recommendations of the membership. Council will then work with staff to address the issues raised, examine the goals and objectives recommended, and formulate any necessary amendment to the Comprehensive Plan to incorporate the wishes of the membership. Finally, the Planning Department will work with individual departments within the tribal administration to develop operational plans that focus on accomplishing the tribe’s priorities, goals, and objectives as articulated in the Comprehensive Plan.
