BUDGETS Tribe Provides Computers for Second Year For the second year in a row, the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians of Oregon has distributed computers to tribal households located in Oregon and other states nationwide. This year, 785 computers were provided, bringing the two-year total to 1,848. Funding for the computer distribution came from gaming revenue generated by Chinook Winds Casino & Convention Center. The computers are from Gateway and include a tower with an Intel Pentium 4 processor and a CD burner, a monitor, and a color printer. A three-year limited warranty also came with the package. Software includes Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition and MSWorks Suite 2003, including MSWord and Encarta. The tribe made a special effort to reach tribal children in non-tribal households. Tribal representatives gathered their addresses from several sources, including the tribe’s Indian Child Welfare and Enrollment depart ments and the state of Oregon’s Services for Children and Families division. Some addresses simply came by word of mouth, such as a grandparent provid ing a grandchild’s address. As a result, 98 of these households - including one in Canada - received computers. “Last year, we saw what kind of impact these computers had on people’s lives. They started businesses, started college equipped with a computer, and used a newer - for a lot of people - way to communicate through e-mail,” said Delores Pigsley, Siletz Tribal chairman. “We’re pleased to be able to give nearly 800 more families these same opportunities.” The majority of the computers were ordered in early September. UPS began making deliveries to tribal members’ homes about three weeks later. One hundred eighteen computers - 15 percent of the total - were delivered to households in Lincoln County. Ninety - four (12 percent) went to the Portland area, 96 (12.2 percent) to the Salem area, and 36 (4.6 percent) to the Eugene area. Individuals who need help with their computer should call tech support at Gateway - 1-800-846-2303. 8 □ Siletz News □ Siletz Tribal Gaming Regulatory Agency CTSI Health Department PROGRAMS ADMINISTRATION Health Administration Medical Support Patient Accounts Information Systems Subtotal Contract Health Services Total Health Administration MEDICAL Physician Services Optometry Mental Health Pharmacy Specialty Contracts CY04 Approved 403,755 220,235 165,279 107,905 897,174 3,400,743 4,297,917 1 1,072,300 119,301 97,679 726,985 184,365 2,2U0,63U 954,617 Total Medical DENIAL COMMUNITY HEALTH Community Health Director Community Health Advocate 1 otal Community Health ALCOHOL & DRUG A&D Prevention 1 ransitional Living Center 1UIAL BUDGEIS 109,717 233,508 343,225 486,856 57,947 37,183 8,3/8,375 BIA Self-Governance PROGRAMS Approved CY04 EDUCATION Education Youth Services Cultural Programs Pow-Wow Coordinator Subtotal Education 73,480 54,100 150,012 71,073 348,664 NATURAL RESOURCES Forestry Fish & Wildlife Realty Subtotal Natural Resources 364,187 62,258 80,566 507,011 SOCIAL SERVICES Indian Child Welfare ESP/477 Elders Subtotal Social Services 147,406 446,710 44,531 638,647 ADMINISTRATION Enrollment Clerk Public Relations Law Enforcement Housing Improvement Program Tribal Court Subtotal Administration 68,579 70,827 72,381 41,156 20,000 272,943 TOTAL BUDGETS | L/OMCO Public Relations will be funded from EPR carry-over.
