THE CONFEDERATED TRIBES
OF THE CRAND RONDE COMMUNITY
OF OREGON
NOTES FROM THE CHAIRMAN
The Tribal Council has been busy pushing for a Reservation Plan Contract
extension, the contract which expired on June 30th, 1986. To date, the Council
hopes to get the final paperwork processed in the near future. With this
contract extension, the Tribal Council will be busy in the latter part of this
year, making presentations to various clubs and organizations throughout the
local community.
The Council has been actively seeking a timber consultant to help the
Council in it's negotiations with representatives from local timber companies,
who are voicing their concerns about the export of logs, and management of timber
lands.
In regard to the Hunting and Fishing Agreement with the Oregon Department
of Fish and Wildlife, the O.D.F.W. was scheduled to vote whether or not to approve
the agreement on the 22nd of August, 1986. For reasons unknown, the O.D.F.W.
Commissioners elected to table the agreement until October 9, 1986. The Council
will continue to monitor the Commission's actions on this agreement. Also, the
Tribal Council is in the process of finishing the Tribe's Comprehensive Plan.
The purpose of a Comprehensive Plan is to set up a specific framework of long
range planning for the future.
There will be copies of the Comprehensive Plan available at the Cemetary
and Depot offices for your review. In future General Council meetings we will
discuss the major parts of the Comprehensive Plan which are as follows. The
first part will be a Historical Overview which provides a pre-history to present
status of the tribe. A section covers the tribal government structure from
the General Council, Tribal Council, Committees and Administration. The next
section consists of: Housing and Facilities; which will highlight land acquisi
tion, land use planning, housing development, and facility development. The
major section is under Human Resources. This section of the Comprehensive
Plan will highlight on Education, Health, Social Services, Enrollment, Culture,
and Recreation. The final section of the Comprehensive Plan covers economic
development, which will cover looking at possible business ventures. As
time goes on, the Comprehensive Plan will be subject to changes, if any major .
ones are required.
