In other action, Tribal Council:
• Approved amendments to the
Tribal Enrollment Ordinance
that streamline how quickly peo-
ple can be enrolled into the Tribe
once Tribal Council receives a
recommendation from the Enroll-
ment Committee. Tribal Attorney
Rob Greene said the amendments
eliminate a 30-day waiting period
that was required from when
Tribal Council received an Enroll-
ment Committee recommenda-
tion and when it could vote on the
recommendation. “Tribal Council
can act at the next meeting fol-
lowing receiving the recommen-
dation,” Greene said at the Feb.
18 Legislative Action Committee
meeting.
• Approved the agenda for the
March 2 General Council meeting
to be held in the Tribal Commu-
nity Center. The program report
will focus on capital improvement
projects occurring on the Tribal
campus. n
