OPEN FOR COMMENT
Proposed Amendments to Gaming Ordinance
The Tribal Council, in consultation with the Tribal Attorney's Office, has proposed
several amendments to the Gaming Ordinance. The first reading of the proposed
amendments to the Gaming Ordinance was presented at the October 10, 2001, Tribal
Council Meeting.
The purpose of the amendments is to make technical corrections to various provi
sions of the Ordinance and to make necessary substantive changes to the Ordinance
to update the Ordinance in light of current Gaming Commission and Spirit Mountain
Gaming, Inc. practices. The substantive changes include, but are not limited to, ex
panding the right of appeal to the Tribal Court, providing definitions for High and Low
Security Licensees, providing that three of the five Commissioners be Tribal members,
amending educational andor experience requirements of Commissioners, removing
detailed provisions governing use of management contracts, clarifying that Commission
meetings on individual licensee and employee matters are not open to the public,
providing for licensing of vendors, increasing the minimum age to be present on the
gaming floor, modifying the process for license suspensions and appeals of licensing
decisions to reflect changes to the Gaming Commission's regulations.
For a copy of the proposed Gaming Ordinance amendments please contact the Tribal
Attorney's office at 503-879-2265. The Tribal Council invites comment on the pro
posed amendments. Please send your comments to the Tribal Attorney's Office, 9615
Grand Ronde Rd., Grand Ronde, OR 97347.
Comments must be received by November 30, 2001.
