Discussion: Chairman met with the tribal state relations committee with the senators and house representatives on May 19, 2008. They asked Chairman what they could do to improve the opportunities for tribal members in the economic development of the oil and gas. Chairman told them they would have to look at increasing the micro business loans our tribal members who are going into trucking, roust-abouts, the treaters, setting up tank batteries, the pumping, gauging, all the different spin off opportunities on this oil and gas. They took it as priority one. A Fargo representative who was there to do the small business loans, grants, and micro business opportunities was going to provide that to our next meeting in July in Standing Rock. Committee is made up of five people of senators, house member of the legislative body and the five tribal chair and chair women. They are from Sisseton, Standing Rock, Fort Berthold, Fort Totten and Belcourt. What we do is work on improving opportunities for not only the tribes but the state and this was one of the issues. I talked about this over and I told them that we need the ability to have additional funds. I said the tribe can only do so much but it’s mostly on the micro side. Micro might not seem like much, $50,000.00 or $100,000.00 but it’s a start. They were looking at working with us on the same type of issues and a higher cap. Whether it’s a grant or loan, I’m not sure but they will continue with us on that effort. VOTE: 5 Ayes 0 Nays Motion carried.

A lot of our students are left without and their only recourse is small loans Education program. It mirrors the state anyway, so as long as we keep them going down their path in getting their education, we’re in good shape but in addition to that we wanted to get them incentives for their grades and then relocation to and from school in the spring and fall. So when these royalties start coming in, Frank; we can budget for that for 2009. TPEO Max Dickens stated that a student is indebt $23,000.00 for a bachelors degree.

Discussion: Councilman Packineau asks if Mark is comfortable with that. Yes, if they are on good terms because I asked that question of my staff about a shorter time period. What are the primary reasons that you could think why we wouldn’t want to do that? They know all the camera angles; they know all the internal controls. Good that just makes them a better employee; they know all the things they need to be following. In other words we are saying we can trust them in surveillance but now we can’t trust them as an employee? See, they are leaving under good terms so they are good employees so that’s why they immediately would be able to work. Now if they leave under different conditions, where there being terminated and things aren’t the best, there not doing the best job as possible and are not the most trust worthy is why we are asking for the 30 day cool off period.
