Health Director for the Tribe, submitted a memo to

"Deferred Services" and also those eligible. Those
currently eligible for the Deferred Services under the
CHS program have to reside within the six county

eligibility for the deferred services money available
through Tribal revenues. Should those outside the six
county service area be included? Cheryle explained the
cost containment process that she hoped to implement
in the future for the program. Suggestion was made to

CORPORATION UPDATE: Mark reviewed briefly,
the results of the retreat held January 20th and 21st in
Newport, with the Council and the Tribal Development
Corporation. Mark had some concerns regarding an
extra meeting held after the retreat. Gordon Macpher
son resigned his position on the board and Mark said
others were thinking about resigning also. Mark asked
Council for their support and assistance with the
situation. He will write a letter to Gordon asking him to
reconsider his resignation. Merle feels that we should
try to persuade Gordon to remain on the board at least
until the Kah-nce-ta meeting in April. He may change
his mind after the Economic Development Specialist
and Secretary are hired. But if after that time Gordon
still wishes to resign, we should honor his request. Jim
