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.
Chief Judge Richard Frederick
recently completed his one-year
probation period and will conti
nue his position for another
three years. As per the Tribal
Law and Order Code, any newly
appointed judge is required to
fulfill the one-year probation
period.
Madras physician Bud Beamer
recently indicated, due to a good
showing of community support,
that an all-weather track could
be built at Madras High School.
Tribal Council listened to his
proposal but took no action.
Tribal Council recently
reviewed the third draft of
Chapter 362 which would provide
for the appointment of a
guardian or conservator for a
person who is not capable of
caring for himself or property.
Chapter 362 would set guidelines
as to just how it would be
determined that a person is in
need of a guardian or conserva
tor, who would appoint such a

We authorized Ed Manion
and Satish Puri to apply for
IHS 121 monies for the proposed
Dry Creek Subdivision which is
located southwest of the Tewee
Butte water tower. The 1 2 1 monies
are for the installation of water
and sewage lines.
The first meeting of the Warm
Springs Power Enterprise Board
of Directors will be held April
1. The Board consists of Ralph
Minnick, Delbert Frank, Sr.,
Al Bartholomew, Charles Lane
and John Elorriaga. The WSPE
Board of Directors was appointed
June 25, 1985 upon revision of
the original plan of operation
which provided for a Board.
Bartholomew is the retired Pacific
Power and Light Vice President
and worked with the Tribe in
developing the cooperative agree
ment between the Tribe and PP
and L on the extension of power
service about 1 5 years ago. Luce
is a former BPA administrator
and is an attorney who worked
with the Umatilla Tribe for seve
ral years. Elorriaga is Chairman
of the Board of U.S. Bancorp.
The Board is responsible for
overseeing power sales contracts.
The Land Use Code is close
to completion and the Council
is developing criteria on land
use areas. We are also working
on how land is to be administered.
Warm Springs Superintendent
Bernard Topash should be
reporting soon to Council on
the Warm Springs Agency budget
and how the Graham Rudman
bill will affect BIA and IHS.
Council is already planning their
approach to this year s House
Appropriations hearings. Those
hearings will be held the first
week of March in Washington,
D.C.
Council, in March, will be
considering recommendation on
on minor's trust funds, hopefully
improving the funds' growth
performance. 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.
