more information forward but tonight he wanted to inform the Council of his desire to be
included when adding local businesses to the space available in the casino. He believes that this will be a good opportunity for him and he is a local company. He is interested in working with the Tribe and right now he currently leases land and of course he is hoping to work toward this. He

Phil is present to seek approval of an agreement between the Karuk Tribe and the Joint Unified
School District. He noted that it is tricky working with State laws for the agreement because of

Phil thanked the Council for their support.

5.) Dennis Whittlesey, Attorney at Law:

Buster introduced Dennis Whittlesey as the Tribes attorney. Dennis made a few comments on behalf of the Tribe and audience. He announced that he is the Tribes gaming attorney. He noted that the work that has been done was achieved by the work of his team and a lot of Tribal Member support. He will be working on the Tribes gaming endeavor with certain teams and the Tribe Council. His goal is to move as fast as possible. There can be no legal challenge to the recent positive decision that has been rendered. The internal discussions for the Tribe have to be
made. The fact of the matter is that the Tribe can proceed right now with the development of the
casino. He will begin to work with the City of Yreka and the County officials but they will have
to work with the Tribe. He will be meeting with some city staffers tomorrow. He noted that it will be quick to open and the Tribe intends on moving forward quickly. The Tribe does not need anything from anybody and they especially do not need anything from the City but they would appreciate working together. He is excited to be a part of this and he thanked the Tribal Council. He will be working toward a meeting with Governor Brown regarding the Tribes compact.
Lavon Kent asked about Dennis’ experience in setting up casinos. Dennis noted that he has participated in setting up several casinos and that he and his team have a tremendous amount of knowledge and experience.

Director Reports:

Council Meeting, 4.26.2012, Page 2 of 12

display. If there are elders and/or seniors that can work together and volunteer to work at the site then it’s possible to be compensated. The TERO Ordinance is law so he wanted to remind the Council of this fact regarding the Casino. Bob Goodwin noted that Nola, his family member, also works at Collier’s rest area and she could provide further information if anyone is interested.
Dion then went on to explain his food program during the summer. There are several people that are coming together to work on the youth food program and also some exercise during that time. Buster would like to have some training and activities for the youth. Dion will provide background checks on the staff and he will continue to work on activities to help the youth become active and healthy.
They will hold their math and science camps again in August this year. There will be fifty slots for Yreka and Happy Camp and a trip at the end of it.
Dion noted that the next meeting is in Ukiah May 7-8, 2012 regarding the Tribe working with States on recognizing the Tribe. The Childcare reauthorizing hasn’t been revised since 2003, but Dion is working on this. They are working with the USDA to determine why Tribes are not participating in the food program. He has found that there is a lot of beauracratic red tape; however he will continue to work on this.
Dion noted that in the Self-Governance report he made an inquiry of the 477 plan and he would like to be included in the conversation. Bob noted that he is working on this and will definitely provide this information with the directors that would be impacted. Dion agrees that there are some good and bad points to keep an eye on.

He then announced that he would like to provide David Arwood a stipend or hourly wage coverage regarding teaching the native language at the Happy Camp High School. They are moving toward bringing in more culture to the students and currently David is volunteering.

Jaclyn then went on to publicly announce the CEDS community meetings. The comprehensive plan will analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the communities to discover the interests for future development. Because of the Tribes region is in economic distress currently, then this will identify information gathering and find a common direction to move in. There was a strategic planning session with the Council and the KCDC Board attended, to identify the strengths and

Council Meeting, 4.26.2012, Page 5 of 12

weaknesses internally, so now they will seek community input. The announcement will be published in the newspapers as well.
She then noted the first nations grant proposal, which will be drafted for the Youth Council and needs approval at the Planning Meeting. She is also working on another first nation’s proposal. The Orleans community is very active in addressing the food issues and safety for their area. Within the current USDA project she is working on, it will hire someone to work on bringing

12.) Robert Goodwin, Self-Governance Coordinator:

Bob is present to review his report.
He provided resolution 12-R-050 for immediate passage of violence against women reauthorization act. Bob recommends approval of this resolution with critical tribal amendments. Bob noted that there is a better history and understanding of Tribes. Dora announced that the Senate passed the legislation today. Bob was not sure of it passing but if it has then that is great and if not, the resolution can be sent to include the Tribes support.

Dora Bernal motioned and Crispen McAllister seconded to approve resolution 12-R-050, 7 haa, 0 puuhara, 0 pupitihara.

Bob then went on to explain the resolution correction regarding a typo error with resolution 12-R-
006 and 12-R-036. He noted that the error was that DNR had sought approval of a grant proposal with resolution 12-R-006 and with a typo linked that proposal to resolution 12-R-036, which was issued to Enrollment. Both are correct, but the right number needs linked to the correct resolution.

Michael Thom motioned and Crispen McAllister seconded to amend resolution 12-R-006 which was the USDA grant and not the enrollment resolution, 7 haa, 0 puuhara, 0 pupitihara.

Council Meeting, 4.26.2012, Page 6 of 12

Bob noted that the Yurok Tribal Council has asked for a meeting and he has been working with Barbara on the information sharing and full document reviews. He has been working with Troy Fletcher on that issue and he does recommend canceling if they do not provide that information.

Bob congratulated the Council on the recent positive gaming outcome. He will be present tomorrow to meet with the council and the Tribes attorney Dennis Whittlesey.

Dora Bernal motioned and Jody Waddell seconded to approve Bob’s report, 7 haa, 0 puuhara, 0 pupitihara.

13.) Erin Hillman, Director of Administrative Programs and Compliance:

Erin is present to review her report. She updated the Council on the bids that were received for the Orleans project. She worked with IHS and they have provided information on the OSHPAD
information and standards. The standards were too high and with that, they found where they possibly should have removed those standards. She discussed those revisions with the negotiator and it will go out to bid again on May 7, 2012. Sonny asked why this would be a modular instead of stick built. Erin noted that the grant funding covered the costs with additional funding
identified; however, a stick building was not affordable. She has looked at other buildings that
have been provided to the Tribe; but this was the most cost efficient to ensure a facility could be completed.
Sonny inquired if the Tribe would be satisfied with that type of facility. Erin could provide the bid documents to the Tribal Council for their input.
Erin would recommend that the staff all obtain online training regarding FEMA and emergency responses to incidents. The primary staff would be anyone who would be involved in the case of an emergency and what steps would be taken when contacted. She would like to start with the Council’s approval to have all staff be required to take this training. Michael believes that this would be a good idea and he has passed them. This would need to be done within the next 6 weeks. She would then like to move into training the Council and Management staff. She would like them to attend trainings offered by EMI. She is looking at the costs to bring them onsite, which would be in October.
She noted that she is setting up a meeting with Bari Jarvis on May 8, 2012. They will work on the ranking system with Indian Health Services. Any and all Council Members that are available are welcome to attend.

Verna Reece motioned and Crispen McAllister seconded to approve Erin’s report, 7 haa, 0 puuhara, 0 pupitihara.

Consensus: to make the training mandatory for all staff.

14.) Leaf Hillman, DNR Director:

Craig is present to seek approval of action items. He first sought approval of a contract with SSPA. They are under contract to do the water analysis on the Scott. There is a lot of follow up that is needed and Craig would like to work on keeping the contract in place. It would be as
needed to share information. He feels that in the next 6 months there will be options developed
for different options of restoration (12-C-070). The first analysis has been done and the next step is to work with the agencies and the County regarding long term restoration in regards to the
Scott. Buster inquired if the BOS have made any other connections regarding their analysis. Craig

Council Meeting, 4.26.2012, Page 7 of 12

noted that they are still a good ways off to have a work product. The signatory line is incorrect and needs to have Buster’s name included.

Dora Bernal motioned and Michael Thom seconded to approve contract 12-C-070 with corrections, 7 haa, 0 puuhara, 0 pupitihara.

Craig then went on to seek approval of two contracts for basically the same reason. It is for consultant work on the Shasta River. The Tribal Council had presentations regarding this. There are regulatory permits that need to be issued; and Craig would like to keep Biostream Environmental under contract for their continued services. The contract numbers are 12-C-073 and 12-C-074 which he feels that the Tribes needs both contracts to cover each area that they specialize in. It’s also good to have peer review of those contractors.
Both of these contractors provided reports to the Tribal Council.

Michael Thom motioned and Bud Johnson seconded to approve 12-C-073 with Biostream, 6 haa,

0 puuhara, 1 pupitihara (Jody Waddell).

Cannon, 6 haa, 0 puuhara, 1 pupitihara (Jody Waddell).

He then went on to seek approval of the draft letter to the California State Water Board. Something identified on the river is highbanking and those individuals are to make information available to local appropriate authorities regarding the illegal activity. It is known that this is taking place, however it is not being enforced. Jody asked how many of these highbanking operations are going on. Craig noted that there are few currently; however on the New 49ers website and blogs, they have been encouraging this behavior for the summer. Bob noted that he commented and discussed this at the USFS meeting yesterday as well. Craig noted that Helene is drafting a similar letter to the USFS regarding the USFS allowing camping on USFS property and the illegal activity. There is a section up Elk Creek where this is taking place. Bob noted too that Elk Creek is actually the water supply for Happy Camp, so it may be contaminating the water supply. Craig explained what highbanking is for Buster. Craig also provided links for viewing what actually takes place.

Michael Thom motioned and Bud Johnson seconded to send a letter to the State Water Control

Board, 7 haa, 0 puuhara.

Consensus: to allow Craig to upgrade his phone.

Committee reports:

NCIDC meeting minutes were provided to the Council. Verna Reece is the Tribes representative on the NCIDC Board.
A Tribal Member from the audience inquired about the youth positions that were formally offered through NCIDC. Verna explained that the funding was cut and they received further budget cuts, so she is unsure if the youth positions will be returning. Dion announced that the State funding was postponed and when that happens they are unable to fill the youth positions while the
students are out of school. He went on to explain that he and Joyce are meeting next week to identify work sites and youth employment possibilities with outside funding options. He will know more after next week. Jessica Courts inquired what departments are allowed to have positions because in some locations the youth workers were not held to the same standards as employees, and often this becomes hazardous or time consuming for the current staff to watch over them. Dion explained that each site is identified by the directors and staff; together they will determine sites, eligibility requirements and funding options.
