Proposed Tribal Budget 2001 posted September 28 This proposed General Fund budget is posted for the information of members of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs. This budget will provide funds for government operations and program services for the calendar year 200 1 . More detailed budget information will be distributed at budget hearings in October and November or can be i requested from the Tribes' Budget Depart- ment, Finance Branch, at the main Adminis tration building. j For the past several years, Tribal offi- cials have alerted Tribal members that, beginning in 2001, revenues will begin to decrease significantly from current levels, j The new Pelton Project Agreement will help ; stabilize hydroelectric related revenues but at j a lower level than before. When combined i with decreasing timber harvests and stumpage revenues, annual budget deficits of $4-5 million are projected to begin in 2002. This proposed budget is based on the 2000 approved budget for program opera tions. The proposed budget includes requested program additions and initiatives from Branch Managers and Directors as listed below. Thus we have posted a "deficit" budget to inform Tribal members of all requested increases prior to final appropriation action by Tribal Council. Tribal Executive Management has developed and proposed to the Tribal Council a 10-year Financial Plan designed to maintain the Tribes financial health through the next decade. The plan proposes to reduce tribal government program expenditures over time and direct new investments towards business ventures that will increase Tribal revenues and provide new, non-government job oppor tunities. A key element of this proposal includes a fund source of $3.5 million from existing undesignated fund balance (working capital). These funds will be used for new revenuejob investments ($2.5 million) and infrastructure projects ($1.0 million). The increase in the proposed budget is partially due to this additional $3.5 million. Budget hearings and district meetings will be conducted by Tribal Council represen tatives during October and November regard ing this proposed budget. After the Tribal Council has evaluated community input they will have the opportunity to modify or reduce the proposed budget consistent with antici pated revenues and the proposed 10-year Financial Plan. This 2001 proposed Tribal Budget was approved for posting by the Tribal Council in accordance with Tribal Appropriation Ordi nance No. 67 and Article V, Section 1 (t) of the Tribal Constitution and By-Laws, as amended. This budget will be posted at the main Administration building, at the Warm Springs Post Office and at the Simnasho Longhouse. Charles V. Jackson Secretary-Treasurer The proposed budget is posted at the Administration lobby, Warm Springs Post office and the Simnasho Longhouse for members to see.
