Councilman Strahs moved to approve to continue to support the Tribal Historic Preservation Office and the approval of the walk over’s and the cultural review of each and every well site and well pad; through the General Fund.  The motion is second by Councilman Eagle.

 

Discussion:               To coordinate with CEO and CFO and it has to be within reason. They have to have the ability to do it; when the snow hits it might be a tough circumstance.  We went until April last year with Ten feet of snow.  Tony Mandan asks if this includes any development on the reservation (Roads, pipeline, housing, and wind energy).  The Chairman of the Economic Development Committee will have plans on how to lay things out and will probably have THPO on his agenda.   That way when an approval is given, THPO will be informed at the same time.  It would be nice for THPO to develop regulations also. Travel is closed at this time but THPO is approved to travel to the Oil and Gas Expo in Bismarck on November 9 & 10, 2009.  This is support of the program but not approval of the budget.  This is continued support through the Tax and TERO.  There is no dollar figure; THPO still needs to negotiate with the CFO.  THPO withdraws their resolution.  THPO is to get with Damon Williams in Legal to attach a fine with violations. 

VOTE:                        5 Ayes 0 Nays Motion carried.

 

XIX.       H1N1 Vaccines Issue: Stella Burquist/Holly Mayer

Discussion only.
