Plan addresses important issues
What kind o f public services
would people want in downtown
Warm Springs?
What kind o f housing might
citizens want? Rental houses, or
apartments?
What if you want to keep a
horse in your backyard?
The committee charged with
formulating the plan to manage
urban areas on the Warm
Springs Reservation, the'Inte
grated Resource Management
Plan III, or IRMP III, seeks in
put from the community.
The committee invites com
munity members to meet, as
families or groups o f friends,
and discuss the plan, which is
promised to affect the daily lives
o f citizens in the reservation’s
community and industrial areas,
including such places as
Seekseequa and Sidwalter, as
well as Warm Springs and
Simnasho.
“What we’re trying to do is
get better public involvement in
planning,” Lonnie Macy, a tribal
planner, said.
Tribal natural resources plan
ners hosted a pair o f meetings
at the longhouses in Simnasho
and Warm Springs in January to
glean com m unity input on
IR M P I II. Bu t the turnout,
Macy said, was sparse.
So the group is looking to
ward family-based meetings for
increased public participation.
These meetings could take any
form, either with the traditional
evening meeting following a
potluck dinner in a hall, or as
informal as a mid-day luncheon
or evening dessert at a home.
“We’ll provide the presenta
tion, maps, surveys and hand
outs,” Macy said. “We just need
a place, som eone’s home or
someplace in the community.”
“Our goal is to have IRMP
III done this year, hopefully by
this summer, but definitely this
year,” said Bill Rhoades, a mem
ber o f the IRMP III commit
tee.
IRM P I I I , which follows
IRMPs I and II, has been the
subject o f meetings, both with
tribal community members and
technical sta ff from Warm
Springs Natural Resources for
about a year. IRMP I was com
pleted in the 1980s, and deals
with forest land. IRMP II fo
cuses on non-forested range-
land.
When the third phase, IRMP
III, is complete, the plan is to
join the three components to
gether and come up with a final
zoning plan.
The basic legal framework o f
the plan IRMP III is in place.
What remains for discussion is
Meeting on meth prevention
There will be a meeting later this month on a plan to fight
methamphetamine on the reservation. The meeting will be
from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Monday and Tuesday, March
27-28.
The meeting will be facilitated by Rose and Barnhart, a
Native American group specializing in methamphetamine
prevention. All community members are invited.
The plan is being organized by the tribal court in con
junction with the Community Health Education Team.
I f you have any questions about the plan o r the meeting,
a “fleshing out” o f how 11 key
areas addressed in the plan
would be administered. And
that’s where the community in
put is encouraged.
The 11 areas are as follows:
residential, utilities, public facili
ties, transportation, telecommu
nications, cultural resources,
natural resources, recreation,
industrial facilities, commercial
and retail facilities, and land use
designations. “These are the
points we’re wanting input on,”
Rhoades said. “And those are the
kind o f things that are going to
have impact on people’s daily
life, and that’s what we want
them to talk about.”
The 11 areas the plan cur
rently addresses were in tro
duced by community members,
identified as the issues commu
nity members brought up the
most. “And we think that’s fairly
complete. There might be some
thing else out there, but those
are the ones we’ve heard in the
past,” said Clay Penhollow, a
planner for the natural resources
department and member o f the
IRMP team.
Anyone interested in setting
up a family or group meeting
on IRMP III is encouraged to
