Law and Justice Committee to memorialize the following

guidelines in regard to the Prosecutor's Office:

The Prosecutor's Office ("Prosecutor") has a discreet and

independent role in the government of the Confederated

Tribes of the Colville Reservation. The job of the Prosecutor

is to enforce fair and impartial compliance with all

applicable laws. A separation between the Prosecutor and

the elected branch of Colville's government, the Colville

Business Council ("CBC"), as to specific cases or

individuals being prosecuted is essential to promote fair and

impartial compliance with the law and ethical standards, and

also to maintain the Prosecutor's integrity and credibility.

The Prosecutor provides prosecution of criminal offenses,

and related services such as advocacy in MINOC cases. The

attorney positions, Managing Prosecuting Attorney and

Deputy Prosecuting Attorney, work under the terms of their

respective contracts with the Colville Tribes. The

Spokespeople who work as prosecutors, or support staff,

work under the terms of their employment with the Colville

Tribes. In its executive and legislative roles in the Colville

tribal government, CBC sets general priorities for the

Prosecutor, such as through CBC's legislative ability to

amend the Colville Tribal Code including the parts of the

Code applicable to criminal offenses and other work of the

Prosecutor. Current priorities include the enforcement of

mandatory minimum sentences established by CBC in

Tribal Code and an enforcement focus on offenses involving

violence, sexual assault, illegal drug use or distribution,

and/or hunting and fishing offenses.

The Managing Prosecuting Attorney must guide all services

provided by the Prosecutor and must ensure that all staff

comply with the law and with applicable rules of

professional conduct. Rules of professional conduct include

the Spokesman's Oath of the Colville Tribes and the

Washington State Bar Association's Rules of Professional

Conduct for attorneys. The Managing Prosecuting Attorney

must also ensure that work product of the Prosecutor, in

regard to the office as a whole and in regard to individual

prosecutors and support staff, meets an appropriately high

level of competence and professionalism.

The Managing Prosecuting Attorney must address internal

office issues, including discipline or termination of staff, in

conjunction with the Human Resources department of the

Colville Tribes, just as any other department head of the

Colville Tribes. The Managing Prosecuting Attorney may

hire a Deputy Prosecuting Attorney, Spokesperson

prosecutors, or staff in the manner of all other department

heads of the Colville Tribes. The Managing Prosecuting

Attorney must work with Colville's governmental

administrative staff to address budgeting and other

administrative matters as needed. The Managing

Prosecuting Attorney must report to the Executive Director

of the Colville Tribes for personal supervision on day-to-day

matters such as approvals for leave requests or spending

requests made for the Managing Prosecuting Attorney on

their own behalf.

In the absence of a Managing Prosecuting Attorney, CBC

and the Office of Reservation Attorney retain the full right

to inquire about and address all of the managerial functions

that would fall to the Managing Prosecuting Attorney if the

position were filled. CBC has the exclusive power to

discipline or terminate the employment of the Managing

Prosecuting Attorney as that position is a contract position

that reports to CBC. The Deputy Prosecuting Attorney may

be disciplined by the Managing Prosecuting Attorney as

needed, with the assistance of Colville's Human Resources

department in the manner of any other department head, but

termination of the Deputy Prosecuting Attorney is reserved

for the sole discretion of CBC as that is a contract position

with the Colville Tribes.
