6 For 1 Against
Motion carried
9) Financial Statement-FYI
Discussion: John McCoy; Marlin Fryberg; Les Parks; Stan Jones
The Village departments are running within budget. What can Tax
dollars be used for? Essential government services mean salaries,
maintenance, building, fire, safety, police, roads, parks &
recreation, etc. The Village budget has not needed to supplement
the current budget with any Tribal hard dollars. The Trading Post
only has one tenant. Tribal Members have not stepped forward to
use the spaces in the Trading Post. There is no synergy in the
Trading Post. Bringing in non-members will be needed to help these
businesses succeed. Council is willing to give one year to staff
to turn this around.
