Robert Kipp to housing board and NPTEC who is going to pay for audit?

Anthony Broncheau, [ suggest we hire a finance manager first before the audit, if it needs

increased pay or what barriers to: rémove?

FALL GENERAL COUNCIL, KAMIAH, ID SEPTEMBER 28, 29 & 30, 2023

Carla Timentwa my concern is the water system, paused building on assisted living and housing.

If we don’t have the infrastructure and water. I am opposed to motion because water issues

should be a priority.

Mary Tallbull we found 3 people embezzling when I was on Board.

Mary Jane Oatman I am in favor of audit, interest off SRBA should be for audit? Recall on

NPTEC Members for neglect.

David Holt I am for it, 18USC 113 statute deals with tribal embezzlement. I say we go across the

board, housing, tribal programs, and boards. I encourage people to think about SRBA & Casino

look at white collar crime and address with law & order code. Do not let them use cost as a scare

tactic.

David Holt concerns with Forest Service taking children huckleberry picking on 500 road, we ran

into a sign that there were wolf traps in area this is very dangerous for our women folk, children,

and elders. Concerns me that Forest Service did not notify Tribal Government. Have the

restrictions or concerns on wetlands been addressed to ensure our women able to gather and

harvest? Pheasant farms put a bounty on mag pie and introduced hemlock for habitat, but it is

grown into Lapwai? Let’s get a plan to eradicate hemlock. Religious Freedom Act Mr. Allen
