5) Jim Berry

Rick Hill is present to discuss some KCDC business. He has three projects that they are working on right now.

His first request is three change orders to the contract with Resource Management for their approval. Erin explained that when there is a Change Order it needs to go through the same process as a contract with Tribal reviews since the Head Start Program is a pass through grant. He has had it approved by the KCDC Board. There are three change orders to the Yreka Head Start renovation project. #1 is to upgrade electrical for $250, #2 is to add an opening between the children’s bathrooms for $250, and #3 is for construction changes related to the playground for $16,453. They are concerned with adding the playground equipment to the project rather than bidding that project out separately since it was not included in the original RFP. Erin will go over this with him tomorrow to make sure that it is done properly since new work would have to be re-bid. They agree the playground work should be put out to bid separately since it was not in the original RFP.

His second item is Change Order #1 to the Contract with Park Young for the Head Start bathroom renovations for changes due to damage that was not able to be seen until work started. The bathroom project needs to be done by August 15, 2010 so it may not be able to wait for the next meeting. The project is on hold until this is approved. Erin will assist him to draft the proper paperwork if they approve it tonight since it is only for unforeseen damages, not new work.

Philip Albers moved and Sonny Davis seconded to approve Change Order #1 to the contract with Park Young in the amount of $4,045.80, pending paperwork being drafted properly. 7 haa, 0 puuhara, 0 pupitihara.

Verna Reece moved and Alvis Johnson seconded to approve Jim Berry’s report. 7 haa, 0 puuhara, 0 pupitihara.

6) Ann Escobar

Ann’s written report was included in the packets. Verna distributed a letter from Ann for their review in addition to the report; they will review that in closed session.

Phil offered an update from the training he just attended in Seattle regarding the NAHASDA Negotiated Rulemaking Committee. He states it was a very intense meeting and the content of the meeting was very detailed. HUD has determined the regulations are old and need to be updated so they have formed a committee to work on modifying those regulations. The Tribes nominated members to the committee with 27 representatives. Most of the Tribe’s have their attorney’s present as well. HUD’s attorneys far outweighed the number of Tribal attorneys.

One of the items discussed was the fact that should there be an impasse between the Tribes, the HUD Secretary shall have the ultimate decision making authority; the short timelines make it nearly impossible for the Tribes to reach consensus on matters which will leave it up to the Secretary to decide. He states that unless you are recognized participants, you cannot submit comments so it was hard for them to not be able to voice their opinions. They were able to meet and talk with several of the participants there which was good for building relationships. The whole process was under too much of a time constraint to really moving forward. They had to move through the issues too fast to reach resolution leaving many decisions up to the HUD Secretary to decide what will ultimately happen.

He pointed out that Sami’s work and reputation with that committee was positive and the rest of the group is willing to cooperate and work with them. There is an open public comment period each day usually, however, this year it was changed to only allow for public comment on the last day, Robert Goodwin was the only one remaining there so he was prepared to submit public comments to the group. They also made a good contact with the individual who will be drafting the regulations. Another interesting piece of information is that any public member can submit comments that must be reviewed and considered by the Secretary prior to making the final decision. He spoke to the committee members and they allowed him time to speak and express their concerns and make some general comments. Bob has a solid knowledge of how the proposed regulations affect their sovereignty and the Tribe. They need to stay involved in the process going forward.

In 2012 there will be negotiations regarding the formula allocation for HUD Block Grant dollars. They must ensure they are involved in that process when the time comes because the larger Tribes can cause reductions to their grants. They need to make a nomination to that committee and also discuss legal representation as well. Alvis states historically Tribal Council served on that committee as the group that oversees the Housing Authority. There is only one more meeting and there is no way that all of the topics will be finalized.

He states that himself, Bob, and Dennis all entered the discussion blindly and were not aware of the content of the meeting and what was to be discussed. They have to ensure that they are not overshadowed by the larger Tribes; their proposition for small percentage changes to the formula would result is drastic changes to the grant award for the Housing Authority.

Dora Bernal moved and Sonny Davis seconded to approve Ann’s report. 7 haa, 0 puuhara, 0 pupitihara.

7) Ruth Rouvier

She was present to review her written report. This month’s word was selected by the gift shop staff and is chanaakat (mosquito). She has no action items.

She states the first teacher assessment is scheduled for Tuesday so they may have their first certified teacher by the beginning of the school year. The Infield conference was fantastic and the Richardson family was very appreciative for the opportunity to attend the training. They brought back information that can help them. Their next conference will be in Kansas in July 2011. Phil would like to attend that one.

She announced that they are advertising to hire a language assistant in the program for 50 hours this summer. The deadline is July 29, 2010 at 5pm which is next Thursday.

The staff displays the word of the month in the gift shop/center for visitors. There are links and many changes to the new Berkeley website for the language program. If you go to the old link it will direct you to the new one. She explained how the new website works and how the information was gathered and compiled for the site. They encourage suggestions and comments on the site.

Phil asked about the ANA planning and development training if that will be for the next three year cycle. She states yes that will be for the next project and the grant that will be written for that funding. She will attend training to get familiar with that process.

Leeon Hillman moved and Phil Albers seconded to approve Ruth’s report. 7 haa, 0 puuhara, 0 pupitihara.

8) Helene Rouvier

Her written report was included in the packets.

She has action items; the first is to cover $113.64 in donated tote bags from discretionary to compensate Phil’s class for designing the tote bags that will be sold. They were given the tote bags as a donation for designing them but that would have to be a donation authorized by the Tribal Council.

Leeon Hillman moved and Phil Albers seconded to approve the donation of $113.64. 5 haa, 0 puuhara, 0 pupitihara (Verna and Florence not present for voting).

The Karuk-UC Berkeley Collaborative working with DNR developed a Karuk Lands Management Historical Timeline. She presented them each with a CD containing the timeline and she would like permission to display the timeline in the People’s Center and Clarke Museum exhibits and also online if possible. It would be a banner printed by a printing company from a high resolution digital file with grommets to protect it and allow it to be easily displayed. Earl states he can print paper versions of it on the plotter. The local schools are also interested in copies as well. Phil asked if it needs to state that it is not a product of the Karuk Tribe since they did not actually produce it. Helene states that it indicates on the timeline credits of who prepared the timeline. Erin clarified perhaps it should state that the Tribe does not authenticate the information or that it does not represent an official opinion of the Tribal Council.

Phil Albers moved and Verna Reece seconded to allow the timeline to be displayed and distributed. 7 haa, 0 puuhara, 0 pupitihara.

Her next item is an invitation to the 2010 Annual Meeting of the American Association for State and Local History in Oklahoma City, September 22-25, 2010. She would like permission for herself and Yukon Sakota to attend. The cost would be $2,406 which can be coded to the IMLS Grant. She has applied for grant funds to offset that. The information would be very beneficial to the shop and Center.

Verna Reece moved and Phil Albers seconded to approve the travel for Helene Rouvier and Yukon Sakota. 7 haa, 0 puuhara, 0 pupitihara.

Her next item is review and approval of a loan policy. The Advisory Committee has been working on these for the past couple of months. There are three policies 1) ceremonial, 2) outgoing loans of general items, and 3) for incoming loans of items. It is modeled after policies of other Tribe’s museums. Bud asked about items that are personally owned by someone else. She states that the cataloging system will identify any restrictions on the items if they are owned by a person and they want it handled a certain way. She would like to have the policies approved as soon as possible since it is ceremony time right now. The policies can be revised if they are not working also. Dora inquired if it can be approved Thursday. She states she cannot be there. That will give them time to review.

She requested approval of Resolution 10-R-084 authorizing the Genographic Project: Anthropological Genetic Analyses of Indigenous Human Populations of North America to conduct research with enrolled Karuk Tribal Members and enrolled Karuk Tribal Descendents on a strictly voluntary basis in accordance with a research agreement to be drafted and approved by the Karuk Tribal Council. A sample of what that agreement could look like was attached. They have requested that document not be distributed outside of the Tribe. The information gathered will be to produce a publication. She also discussed with them the possibility of compensating the members to participate. The main concern with participation is exploitation and misuse of the information gathered from the project. There have been others who have had the information gathered during the study used against them.

Phil Albers moved and Verna Reece seconded to respond indicating that at this time they are not in a position to make this commitment. 7 haa, 0 puuhara, 0 pupitihara.

Verna Reece moved and Alvis Johnson seconded to approve Helene’s report. 7 haa, 0 puuhara, pupitihara.

Leeon asked about the online gift shop. She has been advised it will take about one month to address the software issue. She encourages them to raise that project on IT’s list of priorities.

9) Robert Attebery

He was away from the office last week and did not include a written report. He thanked them for allowing him the time away from the office to participate in ceremonies. Betty Fayette has been helping him in his office and the program ran smoothly while he was out, he thanked her as well.

He states that operations continue in his program. There will be a small amount of the grant to be carried over and it will be within the 10% requirement for a carryover. DC has been communicating with him regarding each step of the process and what information is due at which time; they have been very helpful in keeping him current on that information. Next year they are requesting that they require the entire family being assisted to provide social security cards and obtain them if they do not have them due to a presidential initiative regarding fraud prevention.

July 30, 2010 is the deadline for bids on the Earl Aubrey HIP home replacement. They have obtained a couple of bids so far and have had inquires and potential additional bids coming in. The road, well, and septic may be additional expenses that they have to address. Erin states he should go over all of those concerns with the HIP representative who will be on site next week. Scott also helped him with a categorical exclusion for the title allowing them to have that portion of the project completed as well. Florence asked who does the site work. Erin states that Fred will oversee that and a contractor will be hired to do the foundation work. The home has to be in livable condition so they will have to address any issues that may be substandard such as water, sewer, electrical hookups, etc.

Erin gave Robert a lot of credit because he is new to construction and if he were not keeping on top of this and keeping track of what is going on it would not be moving forward. Robert states he does not want any credit until it actually happens.

Verna Reece moved and Sonny Davis seconded to approve Robert’s report. 7 haa, 0 puuhara, 0 pupitihara.

10) Dion Wood

His written report was included in the packets.

Laura Olivas was present to request approval of the contracts for the cooking services for the Math and Science camps in Happy Camp and Yreka. The contracts are 10-C-104 with Norma Seaman for $745, 10-C-107 with Carmynne Neimoyer for $500, 10-C-103 with Rhonda Croy for $800, and 10-C-106 with Hazel Croy for $575.

Florence Conrad moved and Phil Albers seconded to approve the contracts. 7 haa, 0 puuhara, 0 pupitihara.

Florence Conrad moved and Sonny Davis seconded to donate $100 to the Veteran’s Stand Down August 14, 2010. 7 haa, 0 puuhara, 0 pupitihara.

Phil has some comments on Dion’s report. He asked about the childcare stimulus and the Orleans update, he states that the information is not complete and there is more information that needs to come to the Council. Florence would like to discuss this in closed session. Phil states that is fine.

Florence Conrad moved and Sonny Davis seconded to approve Dion’s report. 6 haa, 1 puuhara (Phil Albers), 0 pupitihara.

11) Jaclyn Goodwin

She states she has no action items; she has a couple of updates.

She is still working with Health Staff on the HRSA grant updates. There will be a meeting Monday, July 26, 2010 at 2:30 at the Panamnik Community Center building with Sue Burcell to discuss the grant application. Several staff members will attend and all Council Members are invited.

The Sierra Health Foundation Grant is due in early August so it will have to come to the Planning meeting next week for the Senior Nutrition van funding, they were denied in the first round so they will be reapplying for the same purpose.

She got an update on the THPO application submitted, it will be reviewed this week or next week with formal comments. She will get informal comments tomorrow through a conference call.

Phil states that Jaclyn is doing a good job with the information presented at the effective meeting webinar in preparing everyone for the meetings. He encourages everyone to read that information before their meeting.

Florence Conrad moved and Leeon Hillman seconded to approve Jaclyn’s report. 7 haa, 0 puuhara, 0 pupitihara.

12) Laura Mayton

She distributed her written report and reviewed the action items.

Her first action item is a request to reimburse KTHA for water damage to the Yreka building in the amount of $333.93 from discretionary. Children at the culture class were playing with the water fountain in the lobby and caused the damage. There was discussion regarding parental supervision during classes to avoid any issues in the future, or the potential to not construct buildings from materials that are so easily damaged in the future.

Florence Conrad moved and Verna Reece seconded to approve the payment of $333.93. 7 haa, 0 puuhara, 0 pupitihara.

The second is the Property Manager position description for the trailer park that is scheduled to close escrow next week. She would like to be ready to move forward rather quickly. They are also gathering information regarding the renters, rent amounts, who is current, who are the people currently managing the park, etc. to be ready for the transfer. They can always modify it if needed.

Florence Conrad moved and Sonny Davis seconded to approve the Property Manager position description. 7 haa, 0 puuhara, 0 pupitihara.

The last is a meeting date for the FY 2011 budget meetings in late August or early September. That will allow her time to meet with directors and time for staff to input the budgets before October 1. They set the meeting for September 2, 2010at 2pm in the Fish Bowl.

They are working to get an appraisal on the Offield Mountain property to determine a more reasonable amount to offer based on comparable sales. She is not sure that all of the information being provided adds up and they need to really research it first before making an offer.

Florence Conrad moved and Sonny Davis seconded to approve Laura’s report. 7 haa, 0 puuhara, 0 pupitihara.

13) Erin Hillman

Erin’s written report was included in the packets.

Her first action item is a request to schedule a meeting to talk about grant submission requirements, contract approval requirements, and the current policy for submissions. The Management Team went through this document and made some small changes and then it went to the Tribal Council for review. There are still issues with directors not following the policy, not getting their documents in on time, not going through the review process. There were five to six grant submitted the day of the meeting last week that needed to be reviewed and the directors are waiting until the last minute. Verna states that Council Members do not have time to review documents before they are asked to approve them. They do not want to lose the dollars or not approve items so they rush through them. The directors are working very hard on the proposals doing a lot of work for their programs and that should not be discounted. The Council wants to review documents before they vote on them as well. She can schedule a short training for them if they want to do that.

The Council plans to meet to discuss issues they are having then go back to directors to address things they want to change and address and policies they want to know about. They would like directors to get items to them at least a week before they will request approval so they can fully read them.

She distributed Agreement 10-A-046 with Cal Trans for a Right of Way Contract, granting a temporary easement to Cal Trans to install a culvert near the Katimiin Ceremonial Area. The Tribe will receive $500 for granting of the easement. They can review that and approve it next week if they like.

She distributed a draft Indian Preference Policy for contract procurement for their review and information.

She distributed Contract 10-A-044 with Hoopa Public Utilities and IHS for upgrades and repairs to onsite wastewater (septic) systems for two Tribal Members in Hoopa. Hoopa PUD is the only agency allowed to construct on Hoopa’s reservation lands. IHS will allow them to sole source such work. That can be approved Thursday as well.

She distributed information regarding the potential lawsuit related to PL 280 and the meeting she attended in Hopland. A conference call with their attorney and some Council Members will be scheduled.

She distributed information to them regarding the Air Quality Emergency Operations Plan obtained at a meeting she attended last week in Hoopa. Bill Tripp attended the meeting along with her because if the Particulate Matter (PM) levels are modified as proposed, cultural burning, would cause too much PM in the air and so they are staying involved in that process to ensure that the conversions are not modified in a manner that will be detrimental to the Tribe.

She distributed the revised policies for the General Assistance Work Experience Program (GAWEP) for their review and approval Thursday.

Verna Reece moved and Alvis Johnson seconded to approve Erin’s report. 7 haa, 0 puuhara, 0 pupitihara.

14) Robert Goodwin

The written report was distributed for review and approval, no action items.

Sonny Davis moved and Florence Conrad seconded to approve Robert’s report. 7 haa, 0 puuhara, 0 pupitihara.

15) Leaf Hillman

Earl was present on behalf of DNR, a written report is included.

He requested approval of Resolution 10-R-083 authorizing the submission of the EPA Climate Showcase Communities Grant Proposal in the amount of $500,000 to acquire rights to an important parcel of land on Offield Mountain and pursue additional funds for the construction of a Fire and Ecology facility. It may be denied but they need to try as grant funds to acquire property are very rare. This is the grant that was discussed in detail at last week’s Planning Meeting.

Florence Conrad moved and Sonny Davis seconded to approve Resolution 10-R-083. 7 haa, 0 puuhara, 0 pupitihara.

The next document is Contract 10-C-108 with Smart Meme for PR work on dam removal in the amount of $4,000 (they are donating some of their time as in-kind). Craig has grant funds to cover this expense. They are interested in having more information on what the Tribal Council’s input level will be toward this project and will discuss this further.

Jeanerette states that Craig would not try to do anything to pull the wool over their eyes; he has the Tribe’s best interests at heart. The Council agrees, however, they have an obligation to fully understand what they are approving and have time to review the documents. Phil states that sometimes there are important pieces of information that need to be included in their PR messages to cover all of the Tribal opinions. Phil isn’t clear which staff members participate in these types of discussions. They state that many of their questions may be answered if they have an opportunity to read the document. They will review it and approve it Thursday.

His last item is procurement to prepare a rental agreement for a 325 excavator and D6R dozer. Peterson Rentals was the less expensive at $19,860 for the season. He will prepare a rental agreement and bring that back to them for approval.

Phil Albers moved and Sonny Davis seconded to approve procurement with Peterson Rentals. 7 haa, 0 puuhara, 0 pupitihara.

Florence asked about the spray that will be used on the leafy spurge along the river, even though it will not be used on private property, it will still be used and can still work its way down into the watershed. Earl states that they have been working to track the dollars down through the system from the Federal level to the Local level. They have also requested to see permits and documents authorizing the spray. Earl states the substance they use to get the herbicide on the plant is really damaging. They have tracked it back to the Region 5, Forest Service level and are supposed to talk to Region 5 next week to explain why they do not need NEPA and how the Tribe’s position on herbicide spraying in the aboriginal territory applies. Erin states they have to follow NEPA through ARRA funding. The state indicates that it does not fall under CEQA, but because of ARRA it falls under NEPA. Verna asked how they will get rid of the weed. He states Salmon River Restoration Council has been working to cover it and kill it with black plastic, there are also physical ways to remove it without use of chemicals.

Phil Albers moved and Leeon Hillman seconded to approve the DNR Report. 7 haa, 0 puuhara, 0 pupitihara.

16) Scott Quinn

His written report was in the electronic packets only, no action items. It was tabled to Thursday so they have copies.

17) Emilio Tripp

He distributed his written report which contains one action item.

The only action item is to the eligibility criteria in the Higher Education Grant Policy; the Education Committee is recommending removal of the requirement that the students must have income levels consistent with HUD income limits. That was inserted based on a grant they were pursuing last year but is unnecessary. They can approve that at the next meeting.

Florence Conrad moved and Sonny Davis seconded to approve the change to the policy. 7 haa, 0 puuhara, 0 pupitihara.

He apologized for his report not being included. He thanked them for them allowing him to participate in ceremonies and pursue spiritual growth allowing him to be better. He also thanked his Supervisor.

He is going through the applications for the Higher Education grants which are due at the end of next week. He has updated the website with FAQ on the program and what they provide.

He reviewed the information in his report and his activities, meetings, and projects during the last month. He met the Dean of HSU who is interesting in meeting with the Tribe, he will come in September and he would like Council participation in that meeting. HSU is also working on a grant application for a mentoring program for native students at the college. They may be requesting Tribal representatives to serve as mentors to the students attending school there.

Strategic Planning for the Education Program will be scheduled for September 14, 2010 from 12-5pm. He encourages as much Council participation as possible.

Verna Reece moved and Alvis Johnson seconded to approve Emilio’s report. 7 haa, 0 puuhara, -0 puuhara, 0 pupitihara.

18) Fred Burcell

Written report only.

Florence Conrad moved and Dora Bernal seconded to approve Fred’s report. 7 haa, 0 puuhara, 0 pupitihara.

19) TJ Day

Florence Conrad moved and Leeon Hillman seconded to approve TJ’s report. 7 haa, 0 puuhara, 0 pupitihara.

20) Sara Spence

The written report was included in the packets.

The Blue House and KCDC photos were included showing the results of those projects. Information regarding the Reunion was also included. There were some questions regarding recent hires which were answered for Council Members.

Phil Albers moved and Dora Bernal seconded to approve Sara’s report. 7 haa, 0 puuhara, 0 pupitihara.

21) Requests

Florence Conrad gave a brief update on her travel to Fort Bragg, July 21, 2010. She states it went wonderfully and there were many Tribal members present. There were about 250 members there and they have support to back them in pursuing this.

Phil Albers moved and Alvis Johnson seconded to approve Florence’s travel to Fort Bragg, July 21, 2010. 4 haa, 0 puuhara, 2 pupitihara (Florence and Verna). Dora not present for voting.

22) Phone Votes

a) Request approval to contribute $425 from discretionary for burial costs for Tribal Member #2665. Passed.

23) Informational

None at this time.

24) Committee Reports

The NCIDC Meeting Minutes were included for their information.

Closed session from 9:13pm to 10:30pm.

Consensus: To review the request for legal assistance from Tribal Member #50 at Thursday’s meeting.

Alvis Johnson moved and Dora Bernal seconded to send flowers to Employee #1017 from discretionary. 5 haa, 1 puuhara (Verna Reece), 1 pupitihara (Florence Conrad).

Dora states that she is researching the Title VII program(s) in Crescent City and will be bringing that information to the Education Program so they can discuss it.

Phil states there is a Conference call scheduled for July 30 with the Office of Head Start regarding a partnership and collaborative effort for state and local issues with Tribal Head Start, he plans to participate.

There was discussion regarding childcare issues and needs for Tribal members and staff. There are many differing opinions regarding what the Tribe’s responsibilities are and what the parent’s responsibilities are. Tribal staff and Council should not have to solve childcare issues for Tribal members and staff who choose to have children, it is not the best use of their time or limited dollars. There are also concerns that childcare providers are not as readily available in Orleans versus Happy Camp and Yreka. Arch and Phil plan to discuss this further with Employee #7375.

Council mentioned that they need to monitor the outstanding loan list and notify staff when debtors become employed by the Tribe, or an entity of the Tribe, so they can begin collecting on the outstanding balances.

Phil pointed out that when the meeting is scheduled with DOI, NIGC, and Dennis Council members need to be in attendance.

There was discussion regarding separation amongst Council Members on certain issues; they reminded each other that they are a group of nine Council Members who are obligated to work to make decisions for the Tribe as a group and need to have open communication with everyone. When a decision is made, regardless of their personal opinion, they are obligated to support the decision of the group. They also reminded each other that issues discussed in closed session are not to be discussed outside of the meeting.

Phil suggests that Council members submit agenda items for the Quarterly KTHA Meeting scheduled with the Housing Commission.

On July 29 there will be discussions regarding the regional director position for BIA. Amy Dutschke has applied and they may need to send someone to support that appointment. There will also be NIGC Consultation on July 29 in Sacramento.

Consensus: To accept the Election Committee’s recommendation to appoint Tanya Busby to the Election Committee. If she declines they would like to offer the seat to Corina Alexander.

Consensus: To waive VISA policy for Council Member #4705; if there is a future violation the card will be taken away and held for travel use only.

Verna states that CRIHB requested a Letter of Support for the Youth Regional Treatment Centers proposed for Taylor Ranch near Hemet and Honey Rock near Oroville. Sara will email CRIHB to get a copy of the draft so a letter can be submitted.

They will discuss the request to fund a portion of the solar parking lot lights for Yreka at their meeting Thursday.

Next Meeting Date: August 26, 2010 at 5pm in Yreka.

Leeon Hillman moved and Phil Albers seconded to adjourn at 10:32pm.
