The proposed CC&Rs include provisions for general rules gov-
erning the community, establishing a home owners association,
residential zoning standards, home-site set up, home construction,
community standards and common areas, and various other provi-
sions for the community.
Tribal Council invites comment on the proposed CC&Rs. For a
copy of document, please contact Ryan Webb at 503-879-2404.
Please send your comments to Ryan Webb, 9615 Grand Ronde
Road, Grand Ronde, OR 97347 or by e-mail to Ryan.Webb@gran-
dronde.org. Comments must be received by March 15, 2022. 
Grand Ronde Station now
offering gas discount
Grand Ronde Tribal members, as well as Tribal and Spirit Mountain
Casino employees, can receive a 30-cent per gallon discount on gasoline
at the Tribally owned Grand Ronde Station convenience store starting on
Tuesday, Feb. 1.
There are, however, a few rules. Tribal members and employees must
go inside and show either their enrollment card or employee identification
card to receive the discount.
Tribal employees started receiving the discount on Jan. 1.
“Your service to keeping the Tribe and casino operational have been in-
valuable,” General Manager David Fullerton said via e-mail in announcing
the discount to governmental employees. “The Tribe wants to reward that
commitment by helping you ease the burden of rising gas prices. … We
know that we have a number of employees commuting to and from Grand
Ronde for work, and we are aware that rising gas prices create an additional
hardship. We hope that this new system will make life a little easier.” 
