Clarification given for funds
We thought a little clarification
was needed in this area, so here are
some facts to share about the 1)
Enterprise Fund vs. 2) the General
Fund:
Tribal Enterprise Funds are those
that account for operations (a) tin .
are financed and operated in a
manner similar to private business
enterprises where the intent of
the governing body is that the costs
(expenses, including depreciation)
of providing goods or services to
the general public on a continuing
basis be financed through user
charges; or(b) where the governing
body has decided that periodic
determination of revenues earned,
expenses incurred, and or net income
is appropriate for capital
maintenance, public policy, manage
ment control, accountability, or
other purposes.
Examples of Tribal Enterprises
are: Credit, Kah-Nee-Ta, Warm
Springs Power Enterprise, Warm
r-K A T iic trio? Warm
springs rtppaici inuuaniwj,
Springs Forest Products Industries,
Garage, Neesna, nousiug,
infnrmatinn Center. Proiect Engineer
and KWSI. Enterprises are governed
by their Plans of Operation and the
Tribes' Corporate Charter. Spending
authorities are laid out in their
Plans of Operation, the Tribal Bud-
opt Pnlirv a nd various referendums.

The General Fund is used to
account for all financial resources,
except those requried in another
fund. Some examples of programs

1986, was it Bad or Good?
Well, lets see, for one thing
during the year we saw a lot of
people in the unemployment
lines. One of the big factors was
Housing Starts was at one of its
lowest points causing problems
with employment and in the
timber industry. There were a
lot of Saw Mills shut down
because of the declining economy.
In order for some to operate
wages had to be cut back other
wise could not make it, while
some shut down completely. So
in some respects this has been a
pretty bad year. During the year
we lost some key people to the
organization
both trom local
and on the national scale.

The General Fund's spending
authority is the Tribes' Construction
and By-Laws. Governing policies
are the Tribal Budget Ordinance
and the Tribel Budget Policy.
These documents are on file in
the Accounting Department and
various other places in the organiza

for running programs enterprises
should become familiar with these
documents to help them manage
their programs enterprises.

being told what we must vote in the
same fashion as the white men's
custom of electing a president and
vice-president. So, at this time I am
asking all to strive to maintain the
Paiute Indian identity and do our
best to thoroughly think through
the qualifications of each of your
choices.

be the representative of and for the
people.
(1) Genuine ability to get along
with all people being represented
and the reservation as a whole.
(2) Able to put one's own values
aside and to be self-centered, yet,
concentrate on the people's needs
and priorities.
(3) Realize the importance of
being a lifetime representative and
it's affecting generations of peo
ples' lives.
Our heritage and culture is being
lost by us having to take the white
man's ways. Although it is here to
stay, we only need to take the best
from their culture, and do our best
to retain, bring back, to encourage
what used to be our culture.
So with that I encourage all elig

to thank all the people who took
the time to encourage me in seek
ing my rightful place as Chief, .as
stated in the constitution and by

Benson received a total of 19
votes for all his efforts. Coming in
a close second place, with a total of
12 votes, was Cecil Conner.
Some comments received about
the winner; "I voted for Benson
Heath because of his stern attitude,
never smiling face, never says "hello"
to anyone, makes a fuss over the
radio music, gets grouchy when
"he" thinks its to loud and "he
richly deserves this honor and title."
A comment received about the
runner-up; "Cecil was aware of the
fact that the Christmas tree for the
office was coming in on a Friday,
so he took the day off so he would
not have to help decorate it!"
