Center for American Indian Health and the Confederated
Tribes of the Colville Reservation for the purpose of
providing the Colville Tribal Health Educators, four family
service specialists, and 4 members of the WIC staff training
in the Family Spirit Home Visiting Model. Staff will be
trained in order to facilitate integration of service delivery of
this home visiting model at the community level. This
agreement provides for curriculum, participant workbooks,
evaluation tools, one week long training in Nespelem, WA in
winter of 2015, to provide one staff member specialized
supervisor training, CEU's for all taking the class, and
follow-up meetings, guidance and technical assistance to
implement the Family Spirit Program. Training and
implementation of this curriculum is a deliverable on a
contract between the Department of Early Learning and the
Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation,
performance period of January 1, 2015 through December
31, 2016.
*Number not assigned*
To instruct Hobbs, Straus, Dean & Walker to submit the
attached comment including a redlined proposed rule, in
response to IHS's request for comments on its proposed rule.
IHS's proposed rule limits the amount IHS and tribes
operating under a 638 Contract are allowed to pay to outside
providers to no more than Medicare-like rates. But because
the rule cannot require outside providers to accept this rate,
the rule may limit patient's access to care.

2015-46.m&b

2015-47.m&b/e&e

2015-48.nrc/m&b

In order to address this problem the attached comment
advocates the inclusion of a "safety valve" allowing tribes to
negotiate higher than Medicare-like rates with an outside
provider, but no more than the most a private insurance
company would pay, in order to insure tribal members'
access to care is not unduly limited. In this way the
comment seeks more of a balance between the need to lower
health care costs and the need to insure access to health care
providers.
To make quarterly deposits into the Generations Investment
Fund in accordance with Res#2013-392 using the attached
schedule. Chair or his/her designee authorized to sign all
pertinent documents.
To approve funding in the amount of $600,271.00 for a
college internship program to be overseen by the Human
Resources Department. The Program will run for 17 weeks
between May and September 2015. All interns will be
processed through the Human Resources Department. The
budget will be modified accordingly. This authorizes the
Chairman or designee to sign all documents related to this
matter.

for the membership will be provided, and further recognizes
that as our traditional identities become more comforting and
comfortable, that our collective identity will likely take on a
new definition, and may very well become clearly
identifiable as something other than what we know it as
today.
Whereas, the Colville Business Council recognizes that our
languages are vital to the survival of our culture, traditions
and way of life it is the recommendation of the culture
committee to require all employees to answer their work
phones in one of the 3 Languages of the Colville
Confederated Tribes. Each employee will have the option to
choose for themselves which Language they answer their
phone in.
