Discussion: Jay Goss; Glen Gobin
The President would like to acknowledge Chief Jay Goss for all his years of service to the Tulalip Tribes and Quil Ceda Village. He will be missed after he retires.

Report provided from the Police Department regarding the activities within the Village over the past month.

Last year the area the Tulalip Tribes set aside to light fireworks was an area just to the north of the current Boom City site. The area was graded down to dirt. A bucket of safety glasses were mandated for those people who were lighting fireworks and water had to be brought in and kept in site. Staff would like the variance to be specific to an area and a time frame. Do you want to designate an adult only vs. children area for lighting fireworks?

Amphitheatre

Discussion: Debbie Posey; Glen Gobin; Chuck James; Patti Gobin; Tony Hatch
The Resolution is for all the talent that is coming to the amphitheatre for the 2007 season. Will there be any additional talent for the season not listed? The amphitheatre is putting together a Living History Festival on August 24, 2007. This will feature the new museum along with many booths, crafts and vendors. The amphitheatre is promoting Native Artists. About 60 artists have sent packets. This is not a fundraiser. It is a community event that will bring people to the area from all over the northwest. It gives a sense of identity of the community. The marketing budget will be coordinating this for Quil Ceda Village. The will be the first annual festival with the idea that it will grow and get larger every year.

Motion made by Marlin Fryberg Jr. to approve Resolution No 2007-019 to ratify contracts for artist talent at the Tulalip Amphitheatre as presented. Additional artists will be brought on a case by case basis.
