Voters approve sewing plant, work to begin
TriKi votr annrnved the
5300,000 sewing plant operation
referendum presented them
Wednesday. July 30. A total of 504
voters cast their ballots, with 284
voting for the plant and 220 voting
against. Six ballots were considered
spoiled by the counting board but
were included in the total number
of ballots.
The referendum asked the ques
tions: "Shall the Tribe appropriate
$300,000 for the purpose of develo
ping, constructing, equipping and
operating a wholly owned tribal
government manufacturing facility?"
Tribal officials are now waiting
to hear from HUD on a grant that
would cover the cost for an addition
to the former Tektronix building
andallormostoftheequipment. If
the grant is not received, the $300,000
appropriation would be used for
equipment and all operating costs
including wages to employees as
well as pay the salaries of the plant
manager and assistant manager,
the mechanic and assistant, the
consultant's salary and a clerk.
However, the most important
thing now is for people to apply for
the 30 operator positions that will
be available. It is expected that
people will be on the job within a
few weeks to begin the training
process.
According to Margie Earl of the
training service department, eight
people have applied for the operators
positions. "We hope to Ret at least
50 applicants" to begin the assess
ment process. Current skills,
handeye coordination and basic
math skills will be assessed. Deadline
for applications is August 19, and
according to Earl, screening, assess
ment and selection will occur the
following week.
