Attached to this e-mail are both the Fiscal Year 2025 Legislative Operating Committee and Legislative Reference Office Annual Reports to the General Tribal Council. An e-poll is necessary to approve the Fiscal Year 2025 Legislative Operating Committee and Legislative Reference Office Annual Reports to the General Tribal Council because the next Legislative Operating Committee meeting is not until November 6, 2024, and the annual reports are due to the Nation’s Secretary by the close of business on October 28, 2024.
