Dear Tribal Members,
. On behalf of the Tribal Council, I would like to
present to the tribal membership a Fiscal Year
( FY) 1 990 Supplemental budget. The purpose
of this supplemental budget is to add funding
for operation of programs and services from
October 1-December 31, 1990. Thereasonfor
this addition is that the Tribal programs and
services have in the past operated on a budget
cycle that began October 1st and ended on Sep
tember 30th of eachyear. At this time, the Tribe
has the option of changing from this cycle to a
regular calendar year cycle which would begin
January 1st and end December 31st of each
year. This supplemental budget would add
funds to cover operating costs to make the tran
sition to the calendar year budget cycle.
This supplemental budget covers all operating
expenses for the Tribe and includes program
services, and tribal government funds and costs.
The purpose of presenting this supplemental
budget to the tribal community is to solicit
public comment from the membership regard
ing these programs and services.
Tribal members wishing to comment on this
budget are encouraged to do so through either
written or oral testimony. Written testimony
may be submitted anytime from June 29 - July
