Old Business Southern Ute update Speakers: John McCoy Southern Ute have not responded. Discussion regarding the Judiciary Center. Three years invested in the discussion process. Funding may not be available for this type of project at this time. Consider putting this project on the back burner. QCV may have some very useful avenues to pursue. General Manager should send a letter to Southern Ute from Village regarding their anticipated future participation. Sewer and Water to the site may be an issue to consider.

B) 116th Street Speakers: John McCoy, Calvin Taylor, Peter Mills, Mel Sheldon City of Marysville came to meeting regarding 116th Street. Snohomish County was absent. A representative called to apologize. Discussion about location of frontage road. A new road extending 27th Avenue would make large tract of land available for development close to I-5. Next Meeting set for October 10, 2002 @ 10:00 a.m. From here on Transportation meeting will be the last Thursday at 10:00 a.m.

Budget A) Income & Expense Statement Speakers: Mel Sheldon, John McCoy, Cal Taylor, Peter Mills, Stan Jones, Michael Taylor 2003 Budget does not include Police and Fire. This is due to lack of income. John will meet with Chief Jay Goss regarding future needs as it pertains to Quil Ceda Village. Using a private security firm is just as expensive as police protection. Attorney is working on a Tax Code Ordinance. This will help the Tribes bring in additional taxes for essential government services such as Fire, Police, Roads, etc. Our Tribal Police must come here. They need to use the resources on hand to provide services here. A private security firm could provide more Tribal employment. Explore the possibility of a Quil Ceda Village Security Force and look into training. The Casino has a trained security team. When they move to the Village, a joint venture could be considered. A call center could be established. Expenses could be delegated to the departments utilizing its services.

Village General Manager Signing Authority Speakers: John McCoy 50K is reasonable. This is consistent with the Casino General Manager. Larger items will still need to come before the Village Council for approval. General Manager will bring back a Resolution for approval at the next council meeting.

Over Flow parking at the Quil Ceda Village Speakers: John McCoy When the Credit Union Parking is done, a proposal to extend the Quil Ceda Village parking lot will be presented.

New Business: Cellular Town, Suite G, Lease Speakers: John McCoy, Peter Mills Recommend to move forward with Lease negotiation. Taco Del Mar, Suite H, Lease Speakers: John McCoy Recommend to move forward with Lease negotiation Boom City Lease A) Clean-up B) PUD Leases for Boom City Transformers C) Water use Recommending that Quil Ceda Village begin working with Boom City. Will we do individual licenses or should we do a license for the committee? Council wants to make sure this does not become a liability issue for Quil Ceda Village. If the Council takes on Boom City, the Village will need to ask for a budget to relocate the site. Look into a new site for multiple recreational purposes: ball fields, swap meets, fireworks. This would require security due to liability for the Village. Again, this will be our dime. We are displacing Boom City due to the Casino opening in June 2003. Boom City could work as Casino advertising, handing out coupons. This could be a way of tracking how much exposure the Casino will get from Boom City. A way to recover some of the Village's costs could be to have our own businesses at Boom City.

Casino Project Bills -$5,768,274.78 Recommends approval of draw down on Casino Capital Expenditure Budget.

Public Assemblage Law Ordinance - Draft Speakers John McCoy, Michael Taylor, Mel Sheldon This is the first draft to the Council. This will posted and brought back at the next regular council meeting for adoption.

Commercial Use of Sidewalks, Parking Lots, Streets, Public Lands Ordinance - Draft Speakers: John McCoy
