TRIBAL COUNCIL MINUTES
FISH AND WILDLIFE
REPORT
MARCH 22, 1989
The meeting was called to order at 6:35 p.m. by Vice
Chairperson Candy Robertson and roll was taken.
Council members present: Candy Robertson, Kathryn
Harrison, Val Grout, Russ Leno, Ray McKnight, Marvin
Kimsey, and Merle Holmes.
Council members absent: Mark Mercier- ill (excused),
and Henry Petite
Others present: Jackie Colton, Riley Porter, Greg
Archuleta, Cliff Adams, Mike Mason
Mike explained the difference between the Corporation
and the Tribal Council by stating that the Corporation is
a State entity and the Tribal Council is a Federal entity.
Kathryn moved to approve the previous March 15th and
March 18th minutes with the following addition. That
the location of the meetings be noted, the March 15th
meeting was held at the Tribal office and the March
18th meeting was held at the Tribal office and the
March 18th meeting was held at the Grand Ronde
Grade School. Val seconded the motion. Motion
carried by a vote of 4 for and 2 against.
DRUG TESTING POLICY: Mike Mason submitted a
draft agreement regarding the use of drugs and alcohol
testing to Council. His opinion was that the agreement
was not enforceable because it violates a person's civil
rights. The portion of the agreement that does this is
the part that says random drug testing will be done.
Under the Indian Civil Rights Act people have the
freedom from unreasonable search and seizure. Marvin
noted that in Warm Springs random drug testing is
being initiated so he doesn't see why we couldn't do the
same. Mike said that Tribal employees there are
working on the reservation and that might make a
difference. He will check in this. He also suggested the
portion concerning the use of random drug testing be
omitted and state that drug testing will be dine upon
reasonable suspicion of drug or alcohol use. He will
draft another version of the agreement for Council
review. Concern was voiced for the need to have some
sort of policy in place when the new employees are
hired. Kathryn moved to utilize a telephone poll to
approve the new version of the agreement since many of
the Council will be in travel status when it is unanimous
vote of Council.
SENATE BILL 841: Mike urged the Council to be very
active in supporting Senate Bill 841. He noted that the
changes suggested by NAPOLS. Doug Hutchinson, CIS
would be a good resource to utilize to assist in keeping
legislators informed. We could also okay NAPLOS to
do the same. The Council requested that Mike be
present at the hearing to answer questions and Jim will
be asked to assist in preparing testimony.
LINN COUNTY REMAINS: Ray moved to have Siletz
be responsible for the remains in Linn County. Kathryn
seconded the motion. Motion carried.
COOPERS LAND MAP: Council will meet with Dale
Hyle at 10:00 a.m. prior to the General meeting on April
2, 1989 to review the land map.
MINOR WOOD PRODUCTS ORDINANCE: Cliff
reviewed the latest draft of the Minor Wood Products
Ordinance with Council. After discussion on additional
changes, Cliff requested another meeting prior to
finalizing the ordinance. A meeting will be held April 5,
1989 at 2:00 p.m. at the Tribal office.
NAPOLS BILLING APPROVAL: The first quarter
billing from NAPOLS was submitted to Council. Ray
mdved to approve payment for the billing. Russ
seconded the motion. Ray then rescinded his motion
and Russ rescinded his second to the motion. Ray
moved to adopt a resolution approving payment for the
first quarter expenses for NAPOLS in the amount of
$5,081.01. Russ seconded the motion. Motion carried
by a vote of 6 yes, 0 no, and 0 abstentions.
