Commission, and to recommend removal to the Colville

Business Council. This request was considered on February

8, 2026, and it was determined there was enough evidence

to move to a hearing. Notice of the complaint and hearing

was sent to Ms. Williams in accordance with Section 10-1-8

of the Colville Tribal Code, setting a hearing on the merits

for February 19, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. The hearing was held.

Based on the information provided before and during

hearing, we find that Ms. Williams violated Section 10-18(a)(3) by showing willful and persistent misconduct

reflecting on the dignity and integrity of the Commission

and Section 10-1-8(a)(5) misappropriation of funds. Ms.

Williams continued inconsistency and failure to timely

repay funds that were to be expended only if she completed

the trip is not appropriate for a TERO Commissioner and a

violate of the Colville Tribal Code. Therefore, it is the

recommendation of the Tribal Government and Employment

Committees that Ms. Cynthia Williams be removed from the

Colville Tribal TERO Commission pursuant to section 10-18 of the Colville Tribal Code and the position be

immediately advertised. It is further recommended that the

attached letter be sent to Ms. Williams via certified mail.
