PRESENTATION

Ms. Pilar Thomas, Legal Counsel, Quarles & Brady LLP provided her monthly update to Tribal
Council. Items included in her update report included General Government Activities, Contract
Review Activities, Cannabis Regulatory Matters and NextEra Solar Project.

Ms. Pilar has been monitoring the issues the Treasury has been dealing with since June on updated
guidance for spending the Coronavirus relief funds. Treasury has now instituted regular reporting
and she’s working with the Comptroller on the requirements. There is now talk about refilling the
fund, there is legislation that has been introduced and pending, she’s continuing to monitor. She
was working with Douglas Williams, Executive Officer, who has now resigned about updating
ordinances. She attended a BIA webinar about a lease program regarding Section 106. The Tribes
can build facilities that will house 638 contracts and contracted programs. She will provide a
written summary of the program to Council.

CEMEX. There is still follow-up work to be done after the Chairman sent them a letter in June. At
the Chairman’s request a memo was prepared for Council regarding compliance with the Clean
Water Act. Implications of the mine and the permitting requirements required under the Clean
Water Act. One of the issues identified in the June letter which was the need to get additional clean
water act permits. Per instructions from Chairman and Donna Noel, Natural Resources director, all
the water work is to be handled solely by Chris Mixson, Wolf Rifkin, Shapiro, Schuman & Rabkin,
LLP. Follow-up was done for the analysis in regards to the June letter and additional questions
that-were raised by Council and CEMEX for Clean Water Act permits. She has been working with
the Business Office regarding other leases on the reservation. They made a recommendation for
the Tribe to hire a mining expert to assist with the mining plan of operation (MPO) that CEMEX is
required to have, as the MPO that was done when the lease was originally entered into was legally
insufficient for purposes of all the regulations they have to comply with. They received a draft plan
from CEMEX in March, comments were submitted in June/July and Ms. Noel is currently working
with them to finalize. The mining expert was to ensure the Tribe has their own expert to review
the MPO especially since they moved the mining operation from area A where they were having to
dewater, and moved to area D to start new mining.

SCS Status. They now have a hearing scheduled and are still trying to manage rulings from AAA
and the court on initial decisions and will provide an update to Council.

NEW BUSINESS

1. Approval for a 2-Week Public Comment Posting for the Draft 477 Plan with Resolution.
Michael Guss, Contracts & Grants with Sarah Adler.

Mr. Guss explained Public Law 93-477 allows Tribes to write plans to consolidate certain tribal
departments with the approval of federal funding agencies. The Tribe hired Aspire Grant Writing
Solutions in partnership with Silver State Government Relations to conduct a 477 Planning
Process. As part of this process, two public meetings were held and input was solicited through an
online survey. The draft plan is a document focused on education leading to workforce outcomes
both for students in the K-12 system, students in college, and tribal members in need of workforce
training. The document proposes combining the Higher Education, Johnson O’Malley, Day Care,
Sumunumu and TSAP portion of the Domestic Violence Programs into one 477 Program. Each
Program Director will still be responsible for the administration of their program, and goals and
objectives of grants will be still have to be met. However, the 477 Plan provides some flexibilities
that are advantageous to the Tribe and Tribal members. They're requesting a 2-week public
posting.

Councilmember Judith Davis asked if the Tribe does agree to this program and it doesn’t work, can
the Tribe reverse it’s decision. Mr. Guss responded yes they can, just have to pass with another
resolution.

Vice Chairwoman Ely-Mendes asked if the Health Board has reviewed this program since it
includes several programs under the Health Clinic and they need to be included. Mr. Guss said they
were overlooked but they will be included after the public comment period.

Councilmember Harry made a motion to approve the posting of the 477 Plan with change of posting
to 30-days, resolution not required. Councilmember Smith seconded the motion. Votes were seven
(7) for and zero (0) opposed with zero (0) abstentions. Motion carried.

Councilmember Janet Davis commented it needs to be posted but the departments need to be
conferred with about their budgets, goals and objectives of their individual programs.
Councilmember Gina Wadsworth agreed with Councilmember Janet Davis but agrees it needs to
be posted.

2. Approval to apply to the US Department of Commerce, Economic Development
Administration CARES Act Funds for Broadband with Resolution. Michael Guss, Contract &
Grants

Mr. Guss explained the Economic Development Administration (EDA) issued a Notice of Funding
Availability inviting applications for funding. He attended a webinar in late July that covered this
funding as it relates to broadband. These funds are designed to mitigate the impacts of the
pandemic and aide in the economic recovery. EDA will fund fiber to the homes of 100% federal
share, with no match required, and pay full Indirect Costs. While the Tribe has an application

Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribal Council August 21, 2020 Special
Page 4

pending with USDA for fiber to the homes that is supported by a State Matching Fund Grant, it
cannot hurt to submit this application and then withdraw our application should the USDA grant
be awarded.

Leona Collins asked if the internet access he’s proposing covers all three communities on the
reservation. She heard Wadsworth was not being considered because they had internet access
already. Mr. Guss said he will speak with the Technology Director and will keep it in mind, he does
know Wadsworth has some fiber already installed. This application will not have the same
restrictions that USDA has.

Mr. Guss commented this application has a different end date than the December 31, 2020 for
Cares Act funding. The end date for this grant is 2023-2024.

Councilmember Smith made a motion to approve the submission of an application to the US
Department of Commerce, Economic Development Administrations CARES Act Funds for Broadband
with Resolution. Councilmember Wadsworth seconded the motion. Votes were six (6) for and zero
(0) opposed with one (1) abstention (Mix). Motion carried. RESOLUTION NO.: PL 080-20 US
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATION CARES ACT
FUNDS FOR BROADBAND

3. Approval to apply for the NV Energy Electric Vehicle Charger Incentive Program with Fee
and Resolution. Michael Guss, Contracts and Grants

Mr. Guss explained the Tribe applied for a VW Settlement Fund allocation to cover the purchase of
a garbage truck in 2019. The Tribe was awarded $183,621 in may of 2020. The quote for a new
garbage truck was $128,529. He explained the requirements for spending the funds and said if the
Tribe spent less than the entire allocation, we are not entitled to full administrative costs. He
researched the possibility of getting a Blink EV Charging Station for the I-80 Smokeshop to lure
electronic vehicles to the store. With an application submission to NV Energy’s EV Charger
Incentive Program they will be able to provide an EV Charging Station at the I-80 Smokeshop and
enable them to use the remainder of the funds allocated from the VW Settlement Fund. The
application submission required a fee for submission to NV Energy Incentive Program.

Councilmember Harry made a motion to approve the submission for the NV Energy Electric Vehicle
Charger Incentive Program with Fee and Resolution. Councilmember Janet Davis seconded the
motion. Votes were four (4) for and three (3) opposed (Judith Davis, Mix, Smith) with zero (0)
abstentions. Motion Passed. RESOLUTION NO.: PL 081-20 NV ENERGY ELECTRIC VEHICLE

and included items the others did not. Questions were asked about TERO, Tax and a project
manager. Ms. Brown stated she will ensure TERO is included in the contract, will include the Tax
Department in the project meetings and will work with the Housing Coordinator in finding a
project manager.

Councilmember Wadsworth made a motion to approve the 2020 Primary & General Election
Timeline. Councilmember Judith Davis seconded the motion. Votes were seven (7) for and zero (0)
opposed with zero (0) abstentions. Motion carried.

Councilmember Harry said there is a lot of talk publicly about how the primary election is not
constitutional. However, it is, so are they referring to the primary not being in the Constitution?
Ms. Collins stated it’s in the Constitution, she didn’t have a copy of the Constitution with her but
she recounted from memory that it said “it’s at the discretion of the Election Board that other
factors would come into play, and that’s how the primary election was covered initially”. It doesn’t
spell out in black and white but there is something that alludes to the fact that it could be an
addition. It is also in the Tribe’s Election Ordinance. Councilmember Judith Davis commented it
was approved as a part of the Secretarial Election, she was unsure of the year.

Ms. Collins said in January Tribal Council had given direction to the Election Committee, which she
wasn’t clear on, on whether the Election Committee was to outsource the background checks or
whether the function was given to the Executive Team. She did follow up with Reno Sparks Indian
Colony and they outsourced their backgrounds locally in Reno. According to the timeline they’re
pushing it and she’d like to hear from Council on their thoughts. Vice Chairwoman Ely-Mendes
said the Tribe doesn’t have the funds to outsource. Ms. Collins thinks she remembers there was a
budget created earlier this year for about $30,000., but she’s not positive. Karole and her had a
meeting with the Chairman and he did tell them that. Vice Chairwoman Ely-Mendes asked the
Chairman follow-up on the backgrounds and to see if there is budget for it or if they will be
outsourcing it. Councilmember Wadsworth reminded Council the fee for candidates is to help
cover the fees for backgrounds. Further discussion will be conducted between administration and
the Election Board regarding backgrounds. She does recall when applicants come in to complete
the candidacy form they also received a background packet. She gave some information to Douglas
Williams last year but they didn’t get any feedback from him.

8. Approval Business License HTTS Consultants. Carry Heglund/Brittney Santos
No representative present.

Councilmember Smith made a motion to table the request. Councilmember Harry seconded the
motion. Votes were seven (7) for and zero (0) opposed with zero (0) abstentions. Motion
carried.

9. Approval Film Permit. Anthony Florez

Mr. Florez presented his film project, Two Bears, to Tribal Council for approval. He explained he
was selected to received the 2020 Vision Make media Short Film Production Fellow for his project
in the amount of $25,000. He’s planning 1 % days of filming on the reservation. It was requested
he provide specific dates when he plans on filming. The maximum amount of personnel in one
area would be 20.

Councilmember Judith Davis stated in reading his request regarding the filming area, there is no
cultural sites in the area for this to go to the Inter-Disciplinary Team (IDT). Typically film requests
regarding filming around the lake only went to IDT.

Councilmember Judith Davis made a motion to approve the request for a film permit for the Project
Two Bears. Councilmember Mix seconded the motion. Votes were seven (7) for and zero (0)
opposed with zero (0) abstentions. Motion carried.

COMPTROLLER. Jill Mix

Ms. Mix said her agenda item was already approved at the August 7, 2020 Regular Council
meeting, she had no action items for Council.

The finance office is working on a Memorandum of Understand (MOU) with the PL Housing
Authority to assist in carrying out housing projects since they don’t have the expertise.

She is working to close 380 land purchases with Bureau of Reclamations (BOR) still out there. She
is coordinating with Donna Noel in Natural Resources. The S Bar S land was purchased with
Federal funds and BOR is asking for all the applications the Tribe is waiting to place in trust. The S
Bar S application was submitted but then withdrawn. It says in the grant they can keep it in the
Tribe’s name but BOR said when you purchase with federal funds you have to provide a report
every 3 years, which the Tribe hasn’t done. They said essentially you have to use the land for what
it was purchased for. Vice Chairwoman Ely-Mendes said she got a brief from the Chairman and the
Business Officer and they said they were working on the issue. Ms. Mix said she brought it to
Councils attention because it was purchased with federal funds and it shouldn’t have been used to
grow marijuana. Benjamin John, Business Officer, said the Chairman withdrew the application
because marijuana was being grown and it wouldn’t have been put it into trust. They’re going to
leave it until Council decides what direction they wanted to take with it. As far as BOR, Jill is trying
to find the application for the federal funding to see what was listed for the use of the land. He last
heard it was for agricultural use, technically, that’s what it’s being used for but he’s not sure how
they would feel about it being illegal on land purchased with federal funds.

With the budget forwarded to Council they will have to cut some budgets to make it through the
end of the year. Right now, they’re short $722,000, they have $698,000 in CEMEX they can
drawdown, they can also drawdown from docket funds for burial. They can cover if they slash
some budgets without looking for extra funds. She still has to work with some departments for
cutting budgets to make it to the end of the year.

Assumption is that all employees will be returning on October 15t, and she'll be working the
directors at that time.

Councilmember Judith Davis said again, if they’re asking directors to cut maybe they should meet
with them ahead of time, instead of meeting with them on October 1°t and then laying them off on
October 20th, Ms. Mix said the intention is not to lay off anyone. Vice Chairwoman Ely-Mendes
state the budget was under the assumption that all employees were coming back October 15*.

Vice Chairwoman Ely-Mendes said Council needs to consider the official opening of the lake and
what its going to look like. A designation needs to come from Council for the Regulations
Workgroup to continue to work on it or to turn it over to Law & Order Committee. They need to
decide if they’re going to change the regulation and up the fees.

Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribal Council August 21, 2020 Special
Page 9

Ms. Mix said all permit books have been collected from the vendors.

If Council decides, will need a directive to request CEMEX and docket funds if they will be needed
to cover the remainder of the year. This will require a 10-34 signed with an approved resolution.

The second request for the Economic Development funds was denied due to time expiration
between the 1st denial and the 2™4 submission, between that time the funds were re-invested into
the principle. If Council wants to access the funds, they will need to go through the Economic
Development Committee to request. There will also be a penalty. The funds are only liquid for a
certain amount of time. Once that time is met, it is automatically reinvested, they don’t need
permission from the Chairman to reinvest.

Tribal Council requested a meeting be scheduled for Wednesday, August 26, 2020 at 5pm for an
updated on COVID-19, Re-opening of the lake, Update on returning furloughed employees.

EXECUTIVE TEAM
1. Executive Office. No report
2. Business Office. Benjamin John

a. Discussion/Approval recently acquired Lot 8 Leased Property Realty Department. There is one
lot in Sutcliffe that is divided into 2 different lots that the Tribe purchased with the deal with
Crosby. Now that the Tribe has purchased, there is tenants in 2 homes, a 6-month lease is
being drawn up for the tenants. The issue now is that the lease says the Tribe will pay for
utilities but administration doesn’t have fund code/line item to pay for it. The Realty
department does have the capability to pay. He’s looking for an official process for Realty to
manage the program.

b. Approval for Chairman to sign NV State Bank Account Documents for the Payroll Protection
Loan CARES Act for Tribal Enterprise. Mr. John explained this is approval for the Chairman to
sign for the Enterprise to open an account with NV State Bank. In order to receive funding from
the Payroll Protection Loan CARES Act, they have to have a bank account for direct deposit.

Councilmember Wadsworth commented on his report regarding a. above, it stated there was 2
houses there but when the tax department went to check on the trailers, there was a lot of them
and apparently one of the owners of the home were renting out the trailers. He was told they had
to pay the transient lodging if that was what he was doing but they didn’t hear back from him. The
time between when they talked to him and when the Tribe purchased the property, the Tribe has
lost out on revenue from it. There were up to 5 trailers there, are they still there now? Mr. John
said the trailers are still there and they haven’t done anything with it because nobody wants to
claim ownership, but once Realty takes ownership they can take care of the issue. Vice
Chairwoman Ely-Mendes said this is a WRAP acquisition and normally land acquired under WRAP
is turned over to the Realty department for management. Vice Chairwoman Ely-Mendes
recommended he coordinate with Donna Noel and Aaron Peskin, Great Basin on the transfer to the
Realty Department. Mr. John said according to Ms. Noel, this has nothing to do with the WRAP

Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribal Council August 21, 2020 Special
Page 10

Committee anymore. Vice Chairwoman Ely-Mendes said it’s the administrations job to determine
the process internally.

Mr. John explained, in order to receipt for the funding, it’s required they have a bank account at NV
State Bank to receive the funding from the Payroll Protection Loan. If they keep the current
staffing levels after December, the federal government will forgive the loan.

Councilmember Harry made a motion to approve Chairman to sign documents for Tribal Enterprise
Department to open an account with NV State Bank for the Payroll Protection Loan funds.
Councilmember Smith seconded the motion. Votes were six (6) for and zero (0) opposed with one
(1) abstention (Mix). Motion carried.

Councilmember Janet Davis would like to see a monthly report from Enterprise.

Councilmember Judith Davis commented she would have liked to receive a closing report from the
Executive Officer, Douglas Williams, who resigned. He was working on projects for Council. The
Chairman had some issues in his report and didn’t ask for any action. She noticed conveyances are
still going through the Court, she would like to see what forms they are using for backup. They
were to stop unless they had a land assignment as backup.

CHAIRMAN’S REPORT

Councilmember Judith Davis made a motion to table the Chairman’s report until Wednesday,
August 26, 2020. Councilmember Janet Davis seconded the motion. Votes were seven (7) for and
zero (0) opposed with zero (0) abstentions. Motion carried.
