<Village Council Meeting Room - Bids:
John McCoy asked John Moran to update the Council on this issue.
John Moran - John does not have documents. I apologize, I did not know that I would be asked to speak on this.
John McCoy - can you give us an idea on who it might be?
Peter - Deborah represented us on this and did bid openings. I believe their were two qualified Bids. Crownover cam in the lowest but the bid is being questioned. Does John want to go forward on the Village Chamber because of budget issues? BOD directed Chris on Friday to find two million dollars.

Off the Record

Resumed
Peter - we need to proceed forward with Chamber for a couple of reasons. Bathroom area serves two areas. I will get back to John with more details by next Tuesday.
Cal - We can't afford to be slowed down here for any reason.
John - Next Tuesday we will have another Village Meeting so we can move ahead on the Chamber Conference Room.

Village Administrative Process:
Village Table of Contents. Presented and Okayed. As Ordinances are approved, they will be posted on the Village's Web Site.

Village Lease/CAM/Utilities Process/Protocol:
John - In our efforts to help find the two million dollars as requested by the Board of Directors, We were looking at flow of the existing Leases. We have had great difficulty finding all the Lease payments. To help alleviate this problem, the Village will now do the invoicing of all Leases, CAM charges, Fire Levy charges, and Utilities. This will insure that a proper tracking system is in place. Currently, CAM/Fire Levy Charges, can't determine if they were paid. General Fund may have received them but we cannot find any record of receiving them.
Herman - we will track from here?
John - Yes, and then we will send the Lease money to the Natural Resource fund and keep the Cam charges for maintenance.

Southern Ute Briefing:
John - I will turn this over to Tom.
Tom - Southern Ute is a potential business opportunity.
Tom - I have three presentations. That is the first. Southern Ute is investing around the United States. They are like a Wal-Mart asking to build a building. They receive income from Natural Gas. They want to invest in the Seattle area and they want to work with a Tribe not a John Doe. It is an opportunity that we must look at.
They have about money to invest in this area. They have several ideas. They would pay land lease like others but they would own their building. It could be worked out that the building would eventually flow to the Tribes. There are many opportunities with them. They would like to work with the County and Tribes on Big Flats. Advantage - leverages land in the front of the Reservation which will bring significant value to the Tribes land.
Southern Ute is in Colorado. They have a plan that would be just between the Tribes, the State would not be able to touch this.
Cal - Spread out the Liability - reduce our risk?
Tom - Of course.
Herman - what is in it for the Utes?
Tom - Profits. The Southern Utes will be here tomorrow. They are coming in through the Tacoma Narrows. Two are going to see Frank Russell, an invest firm. We are going to take them to lunch, give them a tour, take them to dinner and then breakfast the next morning. County Exec could join us for dinner. Recommend taking them to Anthony's in Everett. John and I have had previous meetings with the Southern Utes discussing opportunities between both Tribes. Southern Ute is requesting that Tulalip visit them at some time in the near future.
Herman - All Board Members should be invited to attend.
Tom - I will invite all Board of Directors through Judy. We need to explore these opportunities. This could be a wonderful model for Indian Country.
Tom - I will do a brief presentation for them on Thursday. Utes would like to give a presentation of about an hour, telling Tulalip what they are about. Then Tulalip tells them what we are about and where opportunities may be available for a University, etc.
We will start tomorrow at Tulalip Inn for lunch then we could go to the Tulalip Casino for dinner and to meet? Prince of Wales in the Casino is pretty small for 20 people, any alternatives? Howard Johnson's in Everett has a restaurant.
Cal - It isn't there anymore. Howard Johnson's has two meeting rooms. We could reserve the smaller room and check out their menu.
Tom - I will reserve a meeting room at Howard Johnson's for 6:00 p.m., tomorrow. Lunch will be at Noon on Thursday at Anthony's.
Mel - Do they have a Web Site?
Tom - Yes, Southernute.com

Marysville Mayor Weiser:
John - Marysville has strawberry fields on the NE side of town. They need 10,000 cubic yards of fill. I recommend would do this and they will haul it.
Cal - They should use Tribal trucks to haul it. They can have the dirt free but they should use Tribal Trucks.
Peter - Working on the 240 closure with Marysville. Anything we can do to facilitate this would be good. This could be good faith gesture.
Les Parks - This is prime soil. We should use this as leverage to resolve all of our other issues. It is worth about $6.00 per yard - $60,000 for hauling alone.
Mel Sheldon - We should find what the value of this soil is worth. Les has a proposal on what the soil is worth.
Cal - Les doesn't know everything but I do think he knows what he is talking about on this subject. (Humor)
Herman - What are we planning on doing with this soil? Are we building soccer fields?
Cal- It is the Village's soil so this Council needs to decide. Should we have another meeting?
Let's resolve this issue.
Cal makes a motion for the Village Manager and other appropriate staff to negotiate with Mayor Weiser to have a wash with the outstanding issues with the city of Marysville for this dirt or we get to haul at least 50% of this dirt with Tribal Trucks.
Motion made by Cal Taylor
Seconded by Herman Williams Jr.
3 for 0 against
Motion carried.

Mel - I would like the Village Manager to find out how much soil is there and how much it is worth.
Les- there is about $800,000 worth of soil. This will cover paying for the screening and clearing and still make money.

Utilities:
Leroy Fryberg - Utilities Manager concerned about pump station. It is clogging up and overflowing. It takes very little debris to cause a backup. The Utilities Manager wants to know about the cost of doing the pumping, who will be responsible for paying for this?
Cal - Ordinance 76 has been amended to allow two utilities on the Reservation.
John - Right now Tulalip Utilities has the money and they should be responsible for the bills.
Stan - Do a study to find out why it is clogging up, is it broken?
Leroy - Alarm is not working.
John - Tommy Gobin will look in to this when he gets back next week.
Future bills and payments will begin coming to the Village and the Village will contract with Utilities on an as needed basis to provide the pumping.
