Questions, concerns and
comments regarding the
2019 proposed budget:
Timber LLC
· If we exceed $5 mil-
lion or any significant
amount let tribal members
have say how that money is
spent, since it is money
from resources.
· Main roads are not
fixed up when damaged
from hauling. (Main roads
are BIA responsibility. The
Secretary-Treasurer will let
BIA know to check out the
roads.)
· Why was the Forest
Management reduced from
10 percent down to 5 per-
cent? (S-T is talking with the
Forestry Department to get
it increased.)
Telecom
· Next spring Telecom
wants to offer 50 Meg
packages.
· Will prices increase?
· There have been a lot
of dissatisfied customers
with the service provided/
not provided.
Branded Content
· We have a permitting
process that would allow a
company gets a permit to
do a photo shoot. This
would connect a place with
a product.
· There should be a
meeting with the people to
discuss Kah-Nee-Ta.
· What is going on with
UAV?
· The Simnasho district
meeting will be in Decem-
ber regarding Kah-Nee-Ta.
Branch of Natural Re-
sources
· How much outside
funding is there?
Community Assis-
tance
· How will we meet needs
of seniors?
Cannabis Commission
· When we have final
plan we will have a meet-
ing.
· This Board of Direc-
tors and Ventures still has
to figure out a plan.
Overall budget
· Request to distribute
Ramah funds to tribal mem-
bers.
· Senior pension and per
cap will remain at the cur-
rent amounts.
