5) Exempt Employees
Time sheets
Discussion: Quil Ceda Village has a number of exempt employees with
salaries that are sufficient to cover additional hours that may
be required without paying overtime. Exempt status indicates that
it is not necessary to fill out time sheets. The General Manager
would like to see staff not be required to fill out time sheets.
Staff is requesting an interpretation of the HRO 84 requiring exempt
employees to keep records of time worked and duties performed. This
does not mean that a time sheet needs to be submitted but that each
employee will keep individual records of how much they work and
what they do. Council requests that Quil Ceda Village examines each
exempt employee and make sure they meet the definition of what an
exempt employee is and that each employee classified as “exempt”
meets the requirement. Staff is to bring this report back to the
next Village Council meeting.
6) Chelsea Mall Telephone System Update
Partnership with Verizon/Tulalip.
Discussion: Staff needs direction to move forward with this project
if it is to be coordinated and done. Construction would be done
by Verizon because it benefits them. Easement issues need to be
resolved. Generally the Tribe does not issue easements anymore.
Permits would be required. A separate contract between Tulalip/Verizon
and Chelsea will be needed. This is an opportunity to expand into
an enterprise. A whole host of activities can be done to help pay
for infrastructure and overall program. This can bring in revenue.
Good chance for a major return on investment. Council requests that
Tulalip Cablevision needs to be brought in. TDS will work with the
Cablevision Manager to bring together a business plan. It will take
quite a few years to see a profit but the overall goal is that we
will own the infrastructure and hardware. An Operational Center
will need to be set up to control, maintain and manage this operation.
It will require an annual budget of $300-400,000 to run. Staff is
investigating grant/loan process. Sovereign status needs to be looked
at. How far can Verizon be let in?
Staff will bring back plan A/B for Council review.
7) Tulalip Tribes Maintenance Department recycling opportunities.
Tulalip Maintenance staff is looking for a recycling depot site.
There are companies working with the Tribe to remove solid waste
from the Reservation. Staff is looking at the large building at
the old Boeing building site. This is a good location to collect
and transport solid waste on and off the Reservation.
A company will provide containers to store the recyclable materials.
Starting a recycling program here is very important and our environment
needs to be kept safe. Other Tribes are promoting the four R’s:
Respect; Recovery; Recycling and Re-use. Recycling will reduce the
waste going into our nation’s landfills. This opportunity
puts us in a good position to apply for grants. This is a Tribal
opportunity, with Tribal trucks doing the hauling. The Tribe will
receive revenue back for these recycling efforts. The Tribe is hosting
a TSWAN (Tribal Solid Waste Advisory Network) meeting here on May
20, 2004. Other Tribes want to see what Tulalip is doing. This site
is an excellent site. It would be easy to move in and begin receiving
material. The building that has been chosen is to be remove within
a year. This site is where the North Power Center will be located.
This is a very good solid idea that needs to be explored and developed.
A different site needs to be considered. Staff should work together
to develop a business plan.
11:00 a.m. President Stan Jones Sr. had to leave for an appointment.
