A delegation was sent to Washington, D.C. July 23 through 25 to speak with Senator Mark Hatfield and Representative Ron Wyden and their staff members about current hydro legislation. Right now, public utilities, like PGE and PP&L, want to retain control of the hydro electric licenses. Currently, we are co-licensees with PGE on the Pelton Reregulating project. That license expires in 2001 and we would like to be able to compete for a license fairly without any disadvantages when the time rolls around. The proposed Electric Consumer Protection Act of 1985 would allow us to be an applicant, but the public utilities want the Act to make them permanent license holders. The public utilities apparent ly want to create a monopoly, something we want to prevent. We're now organizing and formu lating the business end of the new sewing plant. Consultant Russ Winslow, enterprise manager Delford Johnson and tribal planner Ray Rangila are pulling things together in-house. And, following the final review of the grant, we'll start construction of the addition and purchase the equipment. We are in the process of writing a memo of understanding to the Bureau stating our desire to have them handle the tribal law and order function. The new detention building is a BIA facility, and our operating costs would be avoided if the Bureau took it over. The BIA would also be responsible for police programs and perform the Justice Service Administrator's duties.

The organization would remain the same except that the chief of police would answer directly to the superintendent or his appointed delegate. We're considering an incentive program for employees. We want to reduce the costs to the Tribe when employees use their leave. We want to find incentives to change employees attitudes toward the use of sick leave. We want to reward people for their hard work and regular attendance. There are several alternative plans under consideration now. Wellness Coordinator Eva Montee will return to Council August 25 to complete her presenta tion of the alternatives. Tribal departments have pulled together their plans for 1987 based on their KR As (Key Result Areas). We're also in the process of pulling together the actual numbers for 1987 and well begin working on the budget September 2. We're anxious to share with tribal members and community members information gathered at the retreat held in The Dalles recently. Look for posters announcing pending meetings. We may send a delegation to the annual ATNI meeting in Spokane August 18 through 22. We invite those interested to the timber tour currently scheduled for August 27 and 28.

Conferees enjoy meeting at resort The Scaswirl manufacturing plant of Culver recently hosted about 1 50 corporation representatives and dealers at Kah-Nee-Ta. This was the eleventh consecutive year that Bob and Shirley Trent, owners of the local plant, have had the annual conference at the resort. This year's conference drew peo ple from 1 1 western states. Said Shirley Trent, "the dealers like Kah-Nee-Ta." She said they could go elsewhere, but because of the proximity to Lake Billy Chinook and its "free water" where there is no speed limit once boats are away from the marina.
