Power Point Presentation – 30 minutes
Discussion: Glen Gobin, Happy Longfellow, Glen Gobin, Debbie Bray, Steve Gobin, Patti Gobin, Chuck James, Theresa Sheldon,
Parametrix staff has been working with Tulalip, City of Marysville and Washington State Department of Transportation since 2002. A considerable amount of emphasis has been put on looking at all environmental aspects for the process of the I-5 interchange. A power point presentation and hand out were given. Questions were asked about realignment of the existing stream. It is to put the stream back more closely with its original flow and to break down the barrier that the existing culvert creates for fish migration. This is an opportunity to allow mitigation. Natural Resources has been conducted a study. Staff has made the decision based on the studies from WADOT and other studies that have been conducted. Is there a way to add egress for Marine Matrix? The 1st phase of 34th did not allow left hand turns. The Tribe and WSG will conduct a study for the ingress and egress. Do we have a public relations plan for this? Are we including the public? The park and ride now allows more parking. Parametrix has informed WADOT of the plans. The roads will need to be done prior to the hotel opening. This project will take an estimated five months. The chances of obstruction would be less than 5%. The Council recommends the jack and bore process to which will minimize overall congestion for traffic on 116th while the project is completed. Phase one has been worked into the strategic plans. Has there been added traffic with the new roads. Why is there more traffic? Is it because there is a better access to the Village? Staff would like a recommendation to move this to the Tulalip Board of Directors for approval within the strategic budget for project funding. There is a request for funds from the 2008 strategic plan. Council would like a study done on 140th Street (Fire Trail Road).

Motion approved by Marlin Fryberg, Jr. to bring the project to the Tulalip Board of Directors with a recommendation from the Village Council on Phase One with funding to come from the strategic budget.

5) RV Park- A plan has been established and will be brought to the full BOD.

6) QCV Planner-Dates are needed for interviews. A meeting is needed before the commitment to the interview process. What is the Planner? The planner would be part of the development of the Village. The qualified applicant would have experience with economic development. We do not need someone who will do zoning, we have the staff. Planner discussion will be held on 9:00 AM on the 27th.

7) FYI-Amphitheatre-Discussion: Debbie Posey, Marlin Fryberg, Jr., Stan Jones, Sr., Steve Gobin, Glen Gobin, Nina Reece, Chuck James,
We are halfway through the season. What is the process of the shows if not sold out? If the shows are not sold out, tribal members have the opportunity to receive a complimentary general admission ticket on a first come first serve basis. There is no guarantee that tribal members will receive free tickets. Every ticket needs to be accounted for. There are tickets that are held for tribal members, and if all are not sold then the tickets will go to the general public. Staff needs more advertising for the upcoming shows. The Council would like staff to work with the Casino to see what the revenue is on the gaming floor and restaurants on the night of the concerts. Council would like to see those revenues along with the Amphitheatre revenue. Staff would like to get signage for the Amphitheatre in strategic places within the Village. Three maybe four sites have been identified. This is temporary signage only in vacant areas that will not interfere with traffic or pedestrians. Council wants staff to go through the planning commission and planning department. Does staff have permission to give out the seats to tribal members?

8) FYI-Farmer’s Market Location
Discussion: A plan will be brought to the next Village Council. Staff will bring a plan to the next village council to encourage Tribal members to participate.

Public Safety

Ordinance 08.01.1; Fireworks Prohibited Within the Boundaries of QCV
Discussion: Nina Reece
The language has been changed to repeal the first Ordinance 08.01.1 and create language that will allow the Tulalip Board of Directors to approve lighting of fireworks at specific places and times.

Motion made by Marlin Fryberg Jr., to adopt the revised Ordinance 08.01.1A replacing it with “The discharge or ignition of fireworks within the boundaries of Quil Ceda Village is prohibited, except at specific places and times authorized by the Tulalip Board of Directors”.

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.
