The fire season is here and the fire danger is getting higher and higher as the grass cures, and the weather gets warmer. I am seeing a lot of people work very hard on their yards, mowing down tall grass and trimming up trees. Not only does this beautify the community, but also will make a big difference if there is a wildfire near your home. I would like to commend everyone who worked on cleaning up their yards, good job. Things remain the same with debris burning even with the changing level of fire danger. Be sure to get the permit from fire management and fol low all instructions on the permit and be prepared for whatever could hap pen. Also remember that 50 of all fires are started by young children playing with lighter or matches, most of these can be easily prevented by keeping matches or lighters out of reach of these children, keep them put up high or in your pocket. Teach your children how dangerous fire is and the difference between good and bad fires. Just simple things like this, if we can all work together it could prevent a fire. ordinance what measures we will use to study them.

During the July 7 meeting it was de cided to form a "planning group" which was made up of anyone at the meeting interested in participating in identifying possible cost savings measures the Tribe can take and possible revenue generation ideas. The planning group presented a number of savings and revenue generation ideas at the July 14 meeting. Ulti mately, it is hoped there will be two (or more) groups to work on specific budget and financial (savings ideas and revenue generation ideas) issues for the upcoming '98 budget process. The idea behind this is to get com munity involvement in the financial particularly interested in getting the input and involvement of our younger generation.
