14 Smoke Signals Committee Ordinance amendment The Grand Ronde Tribal Council has adopted an emergency amend ment to the General Committee Ordinance. Before this amendment, a person could only serve on one committee, except a person could serve on either the Pow-wow Committee or the Elders Committee and one other committee at the same time. Upon review, the Tribal Council decided that it is in the Tribe's best interest to amend the General Committee Ordinance to allow a person serving on an ad-hoc committee to serve on one other committee. The following amendment was made to subsection (f)(1) of the General Committee Ordinance: (A) Individuals may serve on only one (1) committee at a time, provided, however, an individual may serve on an ad-hoc com mittee, the Pow-wow Committee, or the Elders Committee, and one other committee at the same time. The amendment was adopted by the Tribal Council on an emergency basis pending final adoption according to the procedures of the Tribal Government Organization and Procedures Ordinance. Under the Tribal Government Organization and Procedures Ordinance, tribal members must receive notice of all major ordinance amendments. The Tribal Coun cil invites comments to the amendment. For a copy of the full Ordinance contact the Tribal Attorney's Office at (503) 879-2265. Please send your comments to the Tribal Attorney's Office, 9615 Grand Ronde Road, Grand Ronde, OR 97347. Comments must be received by May 1, 1999. Royalty Court Application Logo contest for pow-wow The Pow-wow Committee is looking for a logo for the annual Grand Ronde Pow-wow.
