They plan to start community meetings as early as July or August to get tribal member input. The first step in the process will identify changes since the 1983 plan was adopted and will include drafts of updated goals for the membership to review. In the second step of the process, planning teams will build action plans to address the goals. Planning teams include Education, Culture and Heritage; Health and Recreation; Housing; Infrastructure and Facilities; Transportation and Land Use; Tribal Government; Public Safety; Natural Resources (IRMP) and Economic Development. "There was a feeling of tribal member ownership of the Plan in the early "80s" stated COO Mike Clements," . . . and we want to maintain that with the people. At the same time, we want to make the Plan more accountable and action oriented by connecting it with annual operating plans and measurement tools," he added. More information on the process can be obtained in the Planning Department. Stedder. Stedder had until June 16 to con sent to a trial, either with or without a jury, before the Magistrate or be fore a US District judge. If he opts for a trial before the US District Judge, Stedder will go to trial on August 7 or 8. If he decides to be tried before the Magistrate, his trial will be held July 21 in Warm Springs. Historically, non-Indians who '" commit misdemeanor crimes against Indians on the Reservation are ex empt from criminal prosecution in Oregon state courts, as was proven in a Jefferson County District Court opinion, handed down by Judge George Neilson, last year (State of Oregon v. Francisco Sanchez). Additionally, the United States has limited its prosecution of cases arising on the Reservation to major crimes and has had no forum, prior to pas sage of tribal Resolu tion 9066, to try mis demeanor cases. These cases occur when the offender is a non-Indian, the victim is an Indian and the offense occurred on an Indian reservation. The result of the Sanchez opinion has been to vest sole and exclusive criminal jurisdiction over non- Indian misdemeanor defendants to the United States through the Magistrate Court. Warm Springs Tribal Court Judges, Warm Springs Public Safety Branch members, US Attorney for the District of Oregon and the US District Court for the District of Or egon recommended that the federal court establish a Magistrate court calendar for one to two days per month on the Warm Springs Reser vation to handle non-Indian misde meanor prosecutions. The Magistrate would adjudicate only the non-Indian misdemeanor cases that are not otherwise handled civilly by the Warm Springs Tribal Court. Public Safety Branch manager Anita Jack son explained this does not "take away from tribal court" nor does it encroach on tribal sovereignty, but rather, "adds another layer of protec tion for the people here." The Warm Springs Magistrate Court will be the first in the United Stated to provide a trial forum to litigate non-Indian misdemeanor prosecutions and will allow the United States to exercise its trust responsibility without diminishing Prosecution of non-Indian misdemeanor cases in the Magistrate court "adds another layer of protection for Warm Springs people. the sovereign powers of the Warm Springs tribe. The cost of federal court pro ceedings will be covered by the US Attorney's office. When necessary, legal representation for non-Indian misdemeanor defendants will be provided either by the Federal Defender's Office or by an attorney appointed and paid for by the federal court. If the Warm Springs Police department takes a non-Indian de fendant into custody, then the police department will be responsible for transporting the defendant to the first Magistrate court proceeding. If the defendant is further detained by the Magistrate, then the US Marshal's office will take custody of the indi vidual. The District Court clerk's office will provide sound recording equip ment and supplies as well as provide funds to hire and train a qualified tribal member to act as a part-time bailiff and in-court deputy clerk for Magistrate court proceedings. The clerk's office will also secure funds to purchase comput ers, courtroom re cording and other audio visual sup port equipment that can be utilized by the Tribal Court whenever the Mag istrate court is not in session. The Tribe will not be asked to assist in enforcing sentences or su pervision conditions imposed by the federal court other than routine co operative efforts now in effect. It is anticipated that the Magis trate court would convene one to two days per month at Warm Springs to handle such cases. However, this number could increase in light of increasing drug enforcement efforts and the influx of visitors to the gam ing facility. Two additional drug related cases are scheduled to be heard Friday, July 14 In their recommendation to Tribal Council, proponents stated that prosecution of misdemeanor drug cases in federal Magistrate court would greatly assist in the Tribe's efforts in reducing the number of drug offenses on the Reservation. Such prosecutions in the Warm Springs Magistrate court will send a strong message to the community that the Tribe is serious about deal ing with non-Indian offenders. A federal conviction will follow the offender wherever he or she goes.
