Emergency
appointment
Whereas the War m
Springs Tribal Gaming Or-
dinance (War m Springs
Tribal Code Chapter 260),
amended and approved by
the National Indian Gaming
Commission on September
26, 2014 (“Amended Gam-
ing Ordinance”), calls for a
three person Commission to
oversee the operation of the
Warm Springs Tribal Gam-
ing Regulatory Authority
(“TGRA”) and to take action
on certain regulatory and li-
censing matters as provided
in the Amended Gaming Or-
dinance; and,
Whereas on January 12,
2016 Tribal Council by Reso-
lution No. 12,115 appointed
Jim Soules to serve a three
year term as Chairman of
the TGRA Commission,
Deece Suppah to serve a
three year term as Vice-Chair
of the Commission, and
Yolanda Yallup to serve a
three year term as Secretary
of the Commission, how-
ever, Yolanda Yallup subse-
quently declined to accept
her appointment, thus leav-
ing the Commission with two
active and duly appointed
TGRA Commissioners; and,
Whereas Tribal Council
has been advised by the Ex-
ecutive Director of the
TGRA, Pam Douglas, that
Commission Chairman, Jim
Soules, was recently involved
in a serious motorcycle acci-
dent and is unable to con-
tinue serving as a member
of the Commission and
wishes to resign his position,
which leaves Commission
Vice-Chair, Deece Suppah,
as the only active, duly ap-
pointed TGRA Commis-
sioner; and,
Whereas under Section
260.009(7) of the Tribal
Gaming Ordinance, official
action of the Commission re-
quires a quorum of two Com-
missioners and, with only one
active, duly appointed Com-
missioner in office, the
TGRA is unable to take any
official action required of the
Commission pursuant to the
Amended Gaming Ordi-
nance; and,
Whereas Tribal Council
believes that an emergency
appointment of a temporary
Commissioner is necessary in
order to provide the TGRA
Commission with the mini-
mum quorum requirement
of two duly appointed Com-
missioners, thus allowing the
TGRA to carry out its duties
and responsibilities as set out
in the Amended Gaming Or-
dinance; and,
Whereas the Tribal Coun-
cil has been advised that
Bruce Stecher, a for mer
TGRA investigator and the
holder of a currently valid
high security gaming license
issued by the TGRA, is will-
ing to serve as a short-term,
temporary Commissioner
pending Tribal Council’s ap-
pointment of a new Commis-
sioner to replace Jim Soules

in Section 260.009(3) of the
