PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO ELDERS
COMMITTEE ORDINANCE OPEN FOR COMMENT
The Tribal Council, in consultation with the Elders' Committee and the
Tribal Attorney's Office, has proposed an amendment to the Elders' Com
mittee Ordinance. The amendment would change the process for the
selection of committee members. Under the current Ordinance, ap
pointments are made according to the General Committee Ordinance,
which provides for appointment by the Tribal Council following a recom
mendation of the committee. The proposed amendment provides that
committee members shall be elected by a vote of the Elders.
The first reading of the proposed amendment to the Elders' Committee
Ordinance was made at the January 30, 2002, Tribal Council Meeting.
For a copy of the proposed Ordinance amendment, please contact
the Tribal Attorney's office at 503-879-2265. Tribal Council invites com
ment on the proposed amendment. Please send your comments to the
Tribal Attorney's Office, 9615 Grand Ronde Road, Grand Ronde, OR
97347. Comments must be received by March 29, 2002.
PROPOSED ELECTION ORDINANCE
AMENDMENTS OPEN FOR COMMENT
The Tribal Council, in consultation with the Election Board and the Tribal
Attorney's Office, has proposed amendments to the Election Ordinance.
The first reading of the proposed amendments was made at the February
20, 2002, Tribal Council Meeting.
The purpose of the amendments is to make various technical updates
' and substantive changes to the Ordinance to provide for an efficient elec
tion process. The proposed amendments include, but are not limited to,
the following:
Modifying the roles of the Election Board and the Enrollment Office
such that the Election Board will receive and maintain the Signature Verifi
cation Forms and will prepare and distribute the Voter's Address List rather
than the Enrollment Office.
Modifying the Signature Verification Form requirements to add as an
alternative to the notarization requirement that a Tribal member may in
stead attach a legible copy of a Tribal Identification Card, Drivers License,
state issued Identification Card, or Passport which bears the signature of
the Tribal member.
Modifying the restriction on remaining, loitering or campaigning near
the polling place on Election Day to extend to 150 feet of any entrance to
the polling place.
Modifying the absentee ballot provisions to provide that only those
Tribal members who have a Signature Verification Form on file with the
Election Board will be sent an absentee ballot.
Modifying the absentee ballot provisions to provide that absentee
ballots must be received at the location designated by the Board Chair
person (usually the Post Office) by 12 PM (noon) on the day of the Elec
tion. For a copy of the proposed Election Ordinance amendments, please
contact the Tribal Attorney's Office at 503-879-2265. The Tribal Council
invites comment on the proposed amendments. Please send your com
ments to the Tribal Attorney's Office, 9615 Grand Ronde Rd., Grand Ronde,
