Important Skookum Notice
to Oregon Tribal members
Just a reminder from the friendly Save Our Skookum team: If you are an
Oregon resident, May is the last month to either get on the Oregon Health
Plan Reservation List (adults 19 and older), apply for Oregon Healthy Kids
(18 and younger) or, if you believe you are over income, you may submit
your proof of income and your family size. If you have already done this,
you are good to GO! No further action is required.
Out-of-Oregon Tribal members, you'll be hearing from us soon.
Thank you!

mitted to the Finance Officer no later than the December General
Council meeting and the Finance Officer shall summarize and trans
mit public comments to Tribal Council promptly after the December
General Council meeting; and
(4) Make formatting and other housekeeping changes.

ments to the Budget & Appropriations Ordinance. For a copy of the
