AMENDMENT TO GENERAL COMMITTEE
AND SPECIAL EVENT BOARD ORDINANCE
The Tribal Council, in consultation with the Tribal Attorney's
Office, has proposed an amendment to the General Committee
and Special Event Board Ordinance. The first reading of the
proposed amendment was made at the March 21, 2007, Tribal
Council meeting.
The purpose of the amendment is to increase the number of
staff persons allowed to serve on a committee from two (2) to
three (3). As a result of the amendment, Section (f)(1)(B) of the
General Committee and Special Event Board Ordinance would
read as follows:
A committee may only have three (3) staff persons serving at a time.
Where more than three (3) staff persons serve on the same committee,
the lease senior staff persons shall lose their committee seat.
The Tribal Council invites comment on the proposed amendment.
For a copy of the entire General Committee and Special Event
Board Ordinance please contact the Tribal Attorney's Office at 503-879-4664.
You may send written comments to the Tribal Attorney's
Office, 9615 Grand Ronde Road, Grand Ronde, OR 97347.
Comments must be received by April 30, 2007 at 5 p.m.
