Council sets two referendum dates The Tribal Council has called for a Tribal Referendum on May 15 to allow construction of the Pelton Reregulating Dam Hydroelectric Project. Project summaries are being mailed to tribal members to help explain the purpose and signifi cance of the project. Anyone having questions about the proposal should attend the General Council meeting on May 1 at the Agency Ixmghouse. , The early referendum was determined necessary in order to allow a 1980 construction start. Each year construction is delayed, over $2 million would be lost because of inflation. Due to the complexity of the project, other items have been scheduled for separate referendum (see story below). The $25 million-plus hydro electric project involves the in stallation of a turbine generator in the existing Pelton Reregulating dam, with a trans mission line connecting the pow erhouse to the Warm Springs electrical substation. Water system, housing subjects of June 5 vote June 5 has been designated by the Tribal Council as the ref erendum date for the proposed Deschutes Domestic Water Sys tem and several housing projects. A General Council meeting is expected during the last half of May. The $8 million water system involves pumping water from the Deschutes River near the Dry Creek Campground up to a new reservoir near Tewee's Butte. From the Tewee's Butte Reservoir, transmission lines will carry water by gravity flow to the proposed new reservoirs at Warm Springs and Kah-Nee-Ta. The proposed housing projects include 30 additional Tenino apartments; six Simnasho senior citizens homes; five Simnasho rental relocations; and a 24-bed dormitory at Kah-Nee-Ta. Estimated cost for the projects, including access roads, is $2.45 million, The housing projects would relieve the hous ing shortage facing tribal mem bers and employees. Memo signals change at NCAI Executive Director of the National Congress of American Indians Andy Ebona no longer has the authority to sign checks for the organization, while travel and salary restrictions have been placed on the staff as a result of the memo from NCAI Presi dent Veronica Murdock. The memo also reinstates staff people terminated by Ebona, and calls for creation of an oversight committee to act as a grievance mechanism for employees. There may be fur ther Executive Committee ac tion with regard to Ebona, ac cording to the memo. Hydro projects look favorable In light of the recent nuclear plant scares, particularly the Three Mile Island accident, the development of small hydro electric power plants is becom ing increasingly favorable look ing. Governmental agencies and public officials are impressed with the proposed hydroelectric project at the Pelton Reregulating Dam, for instance.
