Tribal Council approved a request to change the process for distributing funds from the Private.Business Revolv ing Fund. Kahseuss Jackson, economic development coor dinator, presented a proposal to Council last week. The Private Business Re volving Loan (PBRL) Fund was established last year, and funded with $2 million. The intent o f the fund is to pro vide loans to tribal members in order to allow them to start new business ventures, or expand existing ones on the reservation. There had been some dif ficulty in the earlier PBRL process, Jackson said. T he new approach should make the funds more readily avail able to qualifying loan appli cants, he said. “The spirit o f the PBRL is to create a source o f small business development funds fo r tribal m em bers th at is more accessible than current funding sources,” Jackson said. L oan applicants need to have a viable business idea w ith a developed business plan, and a willingness to work with entities set up to assist At right, youth check out the Kangen Water display.

The PBRL G roup will re view applications. The group will consist o f a trib a l m em b er b u sin ess ow ner, a tribal m em ber at large, an enterprise represen tative, the tribal planner, and a tribal organization represen tative. Loans can be approved by a concurrence o f two o f the five m em bers o f the PBRL group. O ther provisions o f the newly approved PBRL loan process: H alf o f the $2 million in the PBRL fund will be kept in reserve, Jackson said. Five- hundred thousand dollars will be used 'for direct business loans up to $50,000. ' T w o -h u n d red an d fifty thousand dollars will be used for line o f credit loans up $25,000. And $250,000 will be a loan guarantee fund, sup p o rtin g access to fu nding from other lending institu tions. Making the PBRL fund ing more accessible to m em bers with business ideas is in keeping with the spirit o f the fund, Jackson said. — Dave McMechan Fire notification requirement Salm on Cam p in A ugust near Pendleton The Tribal Salmon Camp this summer will be August 6- 10 n e a r P e n d le to n .
