GOVERNOR MEETINGS MAY16 TH MAY AND JUNE 4:00 pm Gordon Cooper Vo-Tech Superintendent Retirement Reception 17th 11:30 am Lt. Governor Matt Pinnell Legislative Luncheon Gordon Cooper Vo-Tech 18th 10:00 am Elders Meeting at Golden Corral, Shawnee, Oklahoma One other action that took place with Secretary Johnson called special meeting was the oversite of the Absentee Shawnee Police Department. Secretary Johnson is breaking the Absentee Shawnee Law. 1st Section 2. Governor in Command It being the duty of the Governor to have General Supervision of the affairs of the Executive Committee and to perform all duties appertaining to the Office of the Governor, which duty includes the duty to see that the laws of the Absentee Shawnee Tribe are enforced, the Governor shall be recognized as the commander of the Absentee Shawnee Tribal Police Department. The Governor shall keep informed as to the efficiency and conduct of the Tribal Police in the discharge of their duties. The law code is being broken by Secretary Johnson. What was stated above does not state that the Secretary is in command. Again we as a Tribe need to get out of this 3 signature authority and should be all 5. Being Governor the last 6 years this is a battle that is always being fought and needless to say I have been always against 3 or 4 out of 5 members. THESE ACTIONS HAS GOT TO STOP!!! It is only hurting our Tribe and most of all it is you, the Tribal People. Sad to say our non- Indian employees that have key positions are utilizing this behavior for their gain of the elected officials. Secretary Johnson has had two of his program oversite being investigated due to misuse spending. His own staff in his office was suspended from work due to the investigation. By John Johnson AST Secretary 7:30 pm Dale High School Graduation at the FireLake Arena Hope everyone has survived the serve weather we have had lately and hope no one had any flooding problems to homes. There have been a lot of happenings here in the tribe as far as changes due to special call meetings of Secretary Johnson. One of the changes is putting the tribe in danger with the National Indian Gaming Commission (NIGC) which technically is not anyone’s oversite due to the Gaming Ordinance with NIGC. The Gaming Commission Department is a regulatory department and sees that it be a separation between the regulation and operation of tribal gaming activities. That is why it is necessary that there is an ordinance between tribe and NIGC. In the ordinance it is the Governor that is named for actions to take place and not the Representative. We are not going by the ordinance and that could mean penalties or other action against the tribe. As the Governor of the Tribe we do not want to have any attention on the Tribe from NIGC for any childish actions that the Representative is illustrating and harming the Tribe.

Electronic PO process have tasked the Procurement Department to move towards an Executive Committee electronic purchasing process. Our new software is called Microix. This requisition module enables financial staff and non-financial staff to create purchase requests from their computer, in addition to helping to enforce specific requirements to reduce errors and ensure that information is accurately provided to properly process a request. This software also includes a multi-level approval process that provides accountability, efficiency and internal control. A great benefit of this program is the integration with our accounting software; MIP. The highlights of this electronic PO process includes: - maintains complete purchasing and audit control with detailed information tracking, - analyzes purchase activities by departments, users, vendors, etc., - utilizes approval submission to avoid delays, - effective real-time approval, denial, or modification requests of purchases.

The staff in each of these departments is committed to the growth and overall success in the day-to-day activities as well as building for the future. Cultural Preservation Department is developing a calendar of events that involves activities for the benefit and enjoyment of all tribal members. I encourage all tribal members to get involved and participate. If you have any suggestions, requests, or comments that will contribute to the success and growth of the CP Department, please contact Andrea Ellis-Harrison, CP Director. And, as always, I am also available to assist with questions and comments relating to Cultural Preservation. We are also anxiously awaiting notification on whether we will receive a grant to help with our language program. We anticipate the award will be announced by August. A more detailed report on CP activities will be provided by the CP Director. The HR Department continues project work on the ADP implementation, policies and procedures project, 401k plan review and on campus employee training programs. Each of these projects takes high priority work and along with their day-to-day activities, the HR team continues to prove their dedication and ability to meeting all challenges with grace and competence. Once we complete these projects, we will undertake new initiates that will provide further benefit to our tribal members and employees. I would also like to highlight multiple cost-saving measures our HR Department has under taken including revision of the 401K plan, workman’s comp claims, and on-boarding processing. I attended the Assisted Living Committee meeting wherein we discussed the teams work on the feasibility and market study. I will be presenting a resolution to secure funding for the feasibility study. This study will outline the need in the surrounding communities and recommend a size of the Assisted Living Facility. The feasibility study is essential to access USDA funding, which is the ideal funding source for this project. The feasibility study will take 6 to 9 weeks to complete. As the newly appointed oversight for the AST Gaming Commission, I have started to meet with the interim director on the status of the department, gain project updates and review its needs assessment. I hope to provide support on IT networking needs, cost saving measures on the department’s budgets and overall operational efficiency. I am confident that working towards creating a stronger and more collaborative working environment will benefit the department and the tribe.

Following is a summary of the department’s most recent activities: Special Event/s. The CP Department featured a parade float in the Red Earth Parade 2019 downtown Oklahoma City, Ok. The float featured two mini brush arbors made from trees and willow branches as a roof. Often times the brush arbor is used for a special meeting place, ceremony or gathering of sort during tribal dances. Kay Bemo and Autumn Felton walked alongside the float to pass out candy to the children watching the parade. AST Representative Fletcher was also present passing out promotional items and treats to the children. The CP department also set up a game booth at the fishing clinic at Thunderbird Lake on June 8 2019. The CP Department did pick a duck game at the booth. The ducks were labeled with a number in AST language and English. When the children picked a duck with the number they received a summer treat or CP bag. Youth Outreach. The librarian hosted a story reading with the CCDF summer children on June 17th in the CP Library during the morning hours.
