Tribal Council directs letter to people To the People of Warm Springs, Over the past few years, we have considered the installation of a 91 1 phone system that will enable Warm Springs residents to more quickly reach the police department in case of emergen cies. That new system will be a reality in a few short months. We will be able to participate in the planning of the state-wide program as well as retain and manage our own system. Instead of residents having to remember a lot of different phone numbers, callers with a 553 prefix will only have to dial 9-1-1 and immediately reach the Warm Springs police department. The proper law enforcement agency will automatically be dispatched. Available state funding will help offset our expense of installing the system. Tribal Council has been review ing the cost of our liability insurance. We're beginning to feel the crunch that is occuring on the national level. Insurance costs have risen dramatically in recent years and we're alarmed by the costs that are being pro jected this year.

Also to be consi dered in March will be a proposal on the Western Wear Apparell enterprise, the promotion of reservation-wide economic develop- ment and the proposal to set aside monies for senior citizens pension and educational scholar ships for the future. Affiliated Tribes of the North west Indians, under the presidency of Delbert Frank, Sr., grew in membership and treasury. Their fiscal responsibility and financial health improved dramatically while Frank was president over the past four years. Tribal Council also reviewed and approved changes to the employee pension program to bring it more in line with federal law. In response to tribal member concerns about the tribal budget, the Tribal Council has been actively seeking the input during district meetings to improve the way the budget is put together. Further meetings will be sche duled for this purpose. Warm Springs Chief Delvis Heath required emergency sur- ' gery and at this time is recovering quite well. Respectfully submitted,.
