OR.COLL. E 78 .06 S523 v. 28 no. 10 October 2000 SILETZ NEWS A monthly publication by the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Vol. 28, No. 10, October 2000 SIHA Looks at Transition by Elena L. Bassett SIHA Executive Director In June, the Tribal Council passed a resolution to move the Siletz Indian Housing Authority (SIHA) under the jurisdiction of the tribe. The NAHASDA Committee has the responsibility of planning for this transition process, which becomes effective Jan. 1,2001. Many questions need to be answered prior to actually entering into the transition. The first major question is calculating construction costs and program expenses, which are considered pass through, in order to calculate the indirect cost. Once this figure has been determined, the tribe will decide to proceed with the transition or rescind the resolution and SIHA will continue business as usual. If it’s determined to proceed with the transition, policies must be revised, SIHA ordinances dissolved, and CTSI ordinances adopted as replacements.

(See SIHA on page 18) City of Siletz Signs Police Agreement The city of Siletz signed an intergovernmental agreement in early August, outlining police services that the Siletz Tribal Police Department will provide. Prior to the final signing, the Siletz City Council authorized Mayor Dan Rilatos to sign the agreement once all issues relating to insurance coverage were resolved. The Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians Tribal Council also signed the agreement, which was developed to provide services to tribal residents who live on and off reservation lands. Once the department is fully staffed, three police officers will provide services in the community of Siletz.
