In response to concerns ad dressed at district and general coun cil meetings in Octoberand Novem ber, Tribal Council approved changes within the budget that reflect added emphasis in numer ous areas. The changes do not alter the bottom line of the budget. Of the $18,545,150 operating budget, $170,000 were shifted from certain areas and redirected toward child neglect and abuse, substance abuse, education opportunities and communications. Some of the adjustments will allow for addi tional positions, such as in public relations and education. The deci sion to change the appropriations "was based on what was heard in Jisinci and general council meet ings," said Chief Executive Officer Ken Smith. Grant to fund exhibits The M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust has awarded Middle Oregon Indian Historical Society a $300,000 grant, according to Delbert Frank, Sr., the Society's chairman. The grant will help fund the tribal museum's education exhibits. This is the fourth major grant received since the October 27, 1988 $2.5 million tribal referendum was approved by tribal voters. The funds committed to the museum project now total $3.8 million, according to Dr. Duane King, executive direc tor of MOIHS. "We're happy to have received this expression of confidence in our project from such a prestigious funding agcncy,"said King. Since its inception, the project has always been percived as a part nership among the Tribes, the fed eral government, the State of Oregon and private funding agen cies, i his grant is tne second cut from a major private agency in the Northwest. The Fred Meyer Foundation of Portland also awarded the Museum a $300,000 grant. Federal grants have been received from the National Endow ment for the Humanities and Hous ing and Urban Development. The Murdock award is in the form of a "top-off grant which requires that all but the last $300,000 of the $4.5 million goal be raised before the funds are made availa ble. At present, $700,000 is still needed to reach the goal. Two proposals are now pending, includ ing one with the State of Oregon Regional Strategy Program, w hich, if funded, will bring the project very close to the campaign goal. "We're very optimistic about reaching the fund raising goal in time for the ground breaking cere mony, scheduled for spring. 1990," said King. Areas that include decreases are the office of the chief executive officer, governmental affairs, pub lic safety, utilties, personnel and development, human services, fi nancial services, economic devel opment and natural resources.
