Jeremy Bacon- He is a resident of Sennett on Turnpike Road. He wants to bring aware- ness to a situation that was brought to his attention. He says that at Dilajs Motor Inn that he has participated in a program sponsored by the county in housing sex offender and paroles upon their release from prison. He says he guesses it is something that has been going on for quite some time but he had not heard of it until it was in his neighborhood. He says it is obviously something residents in the neighborhood do not want. He hopes to get assistance from those here in the county. He says he understands it is tricky situation where the county has an obligation to find housing for these people when they have nowhere to go upon release. He says for quite some time they have been house at the Budget Inn on State Street, but that is coming down. He says he is here to offer assistance in any way to brainstorm ideas to come up with a better solution. He says he does not think rural areas are an ideal spot for these people to be house. He says there are all kinds of safety issues with no one monitoring any of them. He says they have seen some issues ---PAGE BREAK--- 7 Monday, January 28, 2014 in the neighborhood already such as footprints around people’s yards and all kinds of activity that can be caught early morning or later in the evening. He just wanted to raise some awareness about what is going on. He says hopefully we can back into the city where there are more eyes to keep an eye on them. MINUTES: For Approval: 12/17/13 & 1/2/14, Motion by Didio, 2nd by Pinckney, all in favor. CCC REPORT: Dr. DeCinque- Attached Lattimore talks about chargebacks and the formulas and there could be a shortage in the budget from a revenue side. He asks if DeCinque could talk about the Fulton Campus and that issue. DeCinque responds the issue there is that several years ago the New York Legislature mandated that the State University of New York develop a system for out of area chargebacks that would equalize those chargebacks with what the local sponsor pays. He says that has been undertaken and is now moving to the implementation stage. He says their understanding of how that new formula would work is reduce the out of chargeback rate roughly $500 for the out or area counties. He says in our case with roughly 60 percent of our students coming from out of area it could roughly cost them over $900,000 next year. He says there was some hope that it would be implemented in a phased in fashion but at this minute he does not believe that is how it will occur. Lattimore says that tonight there is a resolution for the lighting in the television studio. DeCinque responds that those are unrelated. Lattimore asks if it is coming out of the chargebacks. DeCinque responds no there is operating chargeback and capital chargeback and the lighting is a capital project not operating. COMMITTEE REPORTS & INDIVIDUAL LEGISLATORS’ REPORTS: Didio says he has some updates regarding the Inter County Association of Western NY. He says that June 2014 will be Cayuga County’s sponsorship of the Inter County meeting. He gives an update on Lake Management Council and says the lake level at this point we would see a drop in the level. He says what is going on right now is we cannot lower the lake because there are two dams under renovation. He says they should be ready by the middle of February and one of the other hold backs is the fact that there are ice jams down in the northern part of the outlet. He says as things change hopefully he can give a better report. He discusses the need for a Watershed Specialist and they have received 35 applications for the position that they have narrowed down to 5. He says the interview process will begin next week. He says as far as the Alcohol and Substance Abuse Committee they have been formulating a plan to attack specifically the heroin addiction problems in the county. He says they hope to see more media coverage for this particular piece. Farrell says that the Water & Sewer Board Authority passed a resolution to start the meetings at 2PM on the third Wednesday rather than 3PM. Foley says that since he was elected he has had an opportunity to meet with different department heads. He says they have given him tours of their offices and have been extremely helpful in keeping him up to speed. He says he met with some employees and they are some of the hardest working and most knowledgeable employees he has ever seen. He says that it is incredible the amount of talent that we have here. He thanks them for their help in that process. ---PAGE BREAK--- 8 COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT: Suzanne Sinclair- Attached CHAIRMAN’S REPORT: Michael Chapman Chapman says that he attended the NAACP luncheon. He says that at that luncheon they honored 5 people in total and Fred Richardson became a Hall of Famer. He says Smith and him attended the Local Emergency Planning Committee Meeting which was rather educational. He says that since then is has gotten communication from NYSEG who wants to supply us with some additional information and would also like to have a small number of the legislature and department heads attend a meeting so that we might be better aware of what they can do for us in case of emergency. He says Pinckney and him have an upcoming meeting with Seneca County to discuss where we may land in the future in regards to Indian Affairs. He says last year Albany drew the exclusivity line with Seneca County on one side and us on the other. He says historically we have always been together. He says we will be coming back with a report on that. He says that he has had the opportunity to talk with some people in Onondaga County again and we still want to take a look at a potential water program. He says there are still some surveys that need to be done and he is still trying to impress upon them that the price that we discussed this past year is much too high. Batman has a comment on the Board of Health appointments. He says there was a Board of Health meeting today and it was discussed who represents what constituency. He says there are fairly defined areas for that. He says if it does not create any problem if it would be possible to postpone his appointment until the next Legislature Meeting. He says there are some appointment issues that need to be sorted out. Chapman says he does not have a problem with he just does not quite understand why. Batman responds that the Board of Health had the intent to appointment him as a at large candidate representing the southern end of the county as opposed to a Legislative Chair appointment. He says apparently there are guidelines in terms of those appointments. Board of Health Keith Batman, 3649 Keesee Rd., Moravia, NY 13118 Leg.

PUBLIC HEARING: None PROMCLAMATIONS: Cayuga County Salutes Joshua Skinner- Eagle Scout Troop 720 EMPLOYEES 1st AWARDEES: Ms. Ann Guarino, Long Term Care Coordinator, Human Services Ms. Jessica Research Aide, County Historian PRESENTATIONS: Meg Vanek- Executive Director of Tourism She discusses earlier in the year giving the legislature their annual report. She says since the report they have some additional information. She says that they pay for a service called Smith Travel and they give them reports on how occupancy, room revenues and things that that are doing. She says that she did receive their finals numbers for 2013 and it was good. She says that room revenues are up, average daily rate is up and overall number of rooms that were sold is up. She says they are not privy to individual business numbers but she says they have to assume that a lot of that is due to the new Hilton Garden Inn. She says from what the owners are telling her it is doing very well. She says she wanted to let the legislature know that when those additional monies come in it obviously generates additional occupancy tax monies which they put right back into their marketing programs. She says the program they were able to make more robust this year was the group sales program. She says that is a program that brings conferences, meetings and bus tours into the county. She says with the additional revenues that they received from the occupancy tax money they put that into the group sales program. She says that it has generated to date 723 room nights booked with the projections of $224,580 dollars on visitor spending. She says that is on lodging, recreation, food and beverage, retail service and transportation. She says those numbers are very encouraging so the more they can generate the occupancy tax monies the more they will put back into their marketing programs that will benefit the county. She says looking forward to 2014 the Bass Masters Elite Tournament is coming. She says the Village of Union Springs is ---PAGE BREAK--- 42 hosting the tournament and that will bring in 112 professional bass fishermen from around the world. She says that the economic impact studies that Bass Masters has done shows that it brings in about $2 million dollars in economic impact into a community. She says that the Tourism Office facilitated room bookings for the Bass Masters as far as the staff and the media that are coming in which has already generated 250 room nights at the Hilton Garden Inn. She says they are also doing meetings there and they will also do a banquet which they have not decided the location of yet. She says the 112 anglers book their rooms themselves and their families and spectators come. She says there will be a lot of activity between August 21st and August 24th. She says that in addition to that the Governor decided to tag onto the Bass Masters Tournament and have a Governors Challenge. She says he also picked Cayuga County for that and it will be on Owasco Lake which will be on the Saturday of the tournament. She says that the Governor will be here and he has challenged several of his political friends to come up and take the challenge. She says it is purely a media event and he is doing it to out more attention on fishing and tourism in upstate New York.

MINUTES: For Approval: 1/28/14, Motion by Didio, 2nd by Pinckney, all in favor. CCC REPORT: Dr. DeCinque- Attached Lattimore asks with the Governors Startup NY association with the colleges if we have an outreach program at all. De Cinque responds that they do and they have been working with Andrew Fish. He says what they have been talking about is how his agencies and others that are in the business of economic development can use the college as a tool. He thinks they have developed a good working relationship and Fish and his people are putting a plan in place that they need to submit to the State of New York which would allow them to participate in Startup NY. He says they are also in the process of identify- ing areas on the Auburn and Fulton campuses that might be available for business who would wish to use campus facilities or also under Startup NY designate areas within a minimum of a mile radius of the campus that can be designated as tax free areas. COMMITTEE REPORTS & INDIVIDUAL LEGISLATORS’ REPORTS: Didio discusses Cayuga County sponsoring an Inter County in August 2014. He says an important issue that has come up is NYSAC has initiated a free workshop planned for a basis. He says that he attended the one in January and it covered much of the material that was covered at the NYSAC conference. He says they will be going across Monday, February 25, 2014 ---PAGE BREAK--- 43 the state to give these workshops so we don’t have to be bogged down and worried about going to Albany to get certain trainings and they are free. He discusses the Sheriff’s Department putting out a hotline regarding narcotics issues, problems and concerns. He says that there will be in the future presentations by knowledgeable people regarding heroin addiction. He says the education is for the parents, students and teachers or anyone else that feels they need to further their education regarding heroin addiction. He says there is also an announcement of a hire for the Watershed Specialist position. He says he sent out the resume to the legislators and his name is Andrew Snell. Lattimore says that it is been a very long hard winter for people who do not have natural gas delivered to their homes. He says propane, diesel and fuel oil has been very expensive this season. He says he thinks they have added more money to the heat program for our seniors on a fixed income. Pinckney says not yet. Lattimore thinks it would be a good thing if we endorse the state adding more to that for our senior citizens and people on fixed incomes who are having a hard time with their utility bills. Batman reports that he had the opportunity to attend a public forum that was sponsored by Congressman Maffei in Red Creek. He says that it brought together a number of providers and professional organizations for Broadband Services for discussion with community members. He says that it was well attended and a good exchange. He says the intent of the meeting was to stimulate conversation to move forward and serve that part of the county. He says it was a positive move and also worth noting it is the first time any of our federal representatives have taken such a step which bodes very well for our future. He says it is a critical need and a critical issue. He thanks the Congressman for moving forward with it. Chapman says that they have grant money that was given to Clarity Connect to build out in Tompkins County and the lower part of Cayuga County. He says it is his understand- ing that the engineering papers we have requested are on their way. He says once they are here then we will commence with our committee and see where we go from there. Didio adds that the Owasco Watershed Lake Association sponsored symposium at CCC at March 1st at 9am. He says that the main presenter will be Dr. John Halfman on the status of Owasco Lake. Chapman asks Pinckney if he has any information from the Regional Planning Board meeting. Pinckney responds that it was more of an organizational meeting. He says they elected four new people to the executive committee himself being one. He says they were organizing for next month and getting some speakers. Farrell follows up on Didio’s comment that it was determined that education was going to be one of the forefront ways of battling the drug problem we have in our community. He thanks Samantha House from the Citizen for her efforts and the story she did recently in the paper. Monday, February 25, 2014 ---PAGE BREAK--- 44 Foley discusses attending the NYSAC Conference in Albany. He says that it was a great training for new legislators and a great event to be able to go to. He acknowledges Tinker’s Guild in Auburn burning down and recognizes the owners and has them know they have our support. COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT: Suzanne Sinclair Batman asks about the inmate revenue and if it was down as a result of capacity at the jail or a result of fewer inmates being sent from federal facilities. Gould responds that it was definitely down because of the capacity of the jail from our local inmates. Lattimore asks about sales tax and how much more we could go on sales tax. Sinclair says that the State Legislature would have to approve that and she believes we are at the maximum that we are authorized by the State Legislature at this moment. She says counties are not able to raise the sales tax beyond a certain level without legislative authorization. She responds that if he would like her to investigate she would do so. Chapman asks in regards to the sales tax if we are continuing dialogue with the city. Sinclair responds yes they are. She says that if they decide not to practice preemption then we could establish a percentage that was agreeable to divide the sales tax. She says that the advantage to that of course is that economic development is free locate. She says so there is not any contentiousness whether it is inside the city or outside the city. CHAIRMAN’S REPORT: Michael Chapman Chapman talks about Josh Skinner the Eagle Scout he had the privilege to present the proclamation to him. He talks about the small plaque we received from the ASTD plaque in regards to Employee Learning Week because we participated in proclaiming Employee Learning Week in 2013. He talks about Matthew Jones who has come several times before the legislative body to passionately discuss the dangers of smoking. He says that Matthew Jones has been persistent over the years and a valuable resource to the county. He says that he was just recently awarded the Central New York Tobacco Youth Advo- cate of the Year. Chapman says in regards to the City/County meeting there will be a meeting hopefully at the tail end of March if everything goes well. He also mentions a thank you letter that was put into communications where the Town of Ira was thanking the Highway Department for their continued support. Chapman thanks Bizzari and Gould who have worked together when an issue of the leaving the jail arose they figured out a solution. He says it saved the county money and saved the county from hiring additional people. Chapman says him and Pinckney will be traveling to Washington on Friday and accompanying a small contingent from Seneca County and meeting with an aid from Senator Schumer’s Office and a Representative of the Bureau of Indian Affairs. He says that will be to ask a couple of questions in regards to the status that the Cayuga Indians presently enjoy. Lattimore says in regards the Indians he knows that the Governor has made a compact with the Turning Stone. He says there seems to be a lot of activity in regards to the Seneca Casino. He says he would like to have a discussion in regards to how much we are going to get from the compact. He says we do have an Indian tribe in our county that might want to develop. He thinks that we should have more studies in regards to whether or not it would be tax base. He knows that Tioga Downs has asked us to endorse their project. He thinks that if we endorse Seneca’s that it is closer and might have a more job related Monday, February 25, 2014 ---PAGE BREAK--- 45 impact in our county. He thinks that we should have a discussion in regards to who we are going to support and why. Chapman asks if there is a feeling with the body that there should be support for Seneca County and their endeavors or Tioga County in their application. Lattimore asks if we are going to get any gaming revenues from Tioga County and Chapman responds no. Pinckney says he had no problems listening to both sides but he tends to believe that strategically it would be in our advantage to partner up with Seneca County. He says it makes a lot of sense and as he said in the emails there is a possibility of some kind of leverage if they need support from us. Baxter says he does not think we need to partner with either county. He thinks they will do their business and neither one is doing anything for our benefit. Pecher says he believes we just need to stay out of it. Reginelli says he does not see why we should support it because it is building up Central New York. Lattimore says that the Wilmot Corporation is heading up the one in Seneca Falls and he would like to have him come and present what he thinks the regional impact would be to our county. Mahunik likes Lattimore’s idea of getting more information from both entities on this before deciding. Didio says that he would support that idea. Batman says he support having them come in but he is not interested in coming in and hearing someone’s sales presentation. He says if it is going to have an impact on Cayuga County then there are ways to provide that information as opposed to someone’s opinion or idea. He says particularly a developer’s opinion or idea. Chapman says maybe we can get a preview beforehand to make sure. Motion by Didio to approve appointments, 2nd by Pinckney, all in favor.

She says after a lot of calls back and forth in 2012 they made a rather detailed spreadsheet with all the facts and figures of their events, participa- tion and how they spent the money. She says they presented that at the November 2012 meeting of the Planning Committee and cleared up a lot of the misinformation that was out there. She says that it was determined that they were a viable organization and should be funded again. She says there was a resolution put forth for $7,500 and it was in contingency and they were asked to come up with something similar to a grant applica- tion which was extensive. She says that in March they were awarded the $7,500 and then again in November 2013 they did the same thing. She says they are hoping to change the legislatures mind on reducing the funds. She says they feel they have spent the money wisely and with that funding it allows them to bring in more things for the youth. She says that cutting back is going to obviously affect that. Lattimore says that he is all in favor of funding the Cayuga County Fair.

He thinks they have a very good chance to win this. He says that they have committed to using local products and vendors. Chapman asks if they did any studies on looking at how the infrastructure in Cayuga County might be affected by this operation. Wilmot responds that they did a little bit and there was some home development but as far as traffic it was negligible because 80 percent of their traffic is coming off the thruway. He says most things that happen at a casino happen on-site. He says bringing all the infrastructure over and possible increases in police, fire or first responders they have done the impacts for and they are planning on pay out of pocket for the surrounding area.

He says they were very encouraging because we talked a little bit about or very initial plan of coming forth with a regional effort utilizing Onondaga, Wayne and maybe Oswego or whoever to try and get water provided throughout the county in areas that need it. He says one of the lady’s there explained that they have tightened up the rules on providing funds and if you do not have a shovel ready project or if the project gets off schedule they will not distribute the funds. He says that those funds are so important that they are pulling them back and providing them to another project.

Monday, April 22, 2014 ---PAGE BREAK--- 122 MINUTES SPECIAL JOINT MEETING Cayuga County Legislature and Auburn City Council WEDNESDAY, May 14, 2014 @ 6:00 PM Cayuga Community College (Student Lounge) 197 Franklin St., Auburn, NY CALL TO ORDER (County): Hon. Michael Chapman, Chairman called the meeting to order at 6:02PM ROLL CALL: Amanda Morgan, Deputy Clerk of the Legislature, all Legislators present except excused Baxter CALL TO ORDER (City): Mayor Michael Quill called the meeting to order at 6:03PM ROLL CALL: Chuck Mason, Auburn City Clerk all officials present PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE: MOMENT OF PRAYER: TOPIC: Shared Service Opportunities: 1. Feasibility Study & Design for a City/County Regional Public Works Facility Sinclair discusses the tour of the two highway facilities. Selby says what they observed was a lot of similarities between what the city and county do. Talbot says that he and Wethey talk pretty routinely throughout the year and their pretty much same issues. He says that whether it is staff or equipment related they are very similar. He thinks there are definitely some possibilities between the two groups and he is eager to see how they could work together. Wethey talks about the fuel system being shared and it is working well. He thinks there are parallels with the same types of issues. Didio asks Selby if the feasibility study would be the first step. Selby responds that they really need to look at all the details and work together in a joint setting. Didio asks about how long it would take. Selby re- sponds it would probably be around 6 months. Ruzicka asks if they need to con- sider that co-location is a reasonable expectation or will we continue to have two separate facilities. Selby says that they will have to look at it through a study to see which would work best. Quill says in his mind with the Governor’s push to consolidation of governments and to streamline all our operations he would be optimistic that there should be some funding available. Runkle asks who is going to do that such as which department. Sinclair responds that she will investigate who has the workload, capability and interest to follow up on that. Selby says he talked to their grants person who tends to think a proposal from a regional facility may be viewed more favorable if it comes from the county government. Pecher asks what the condition of the city buildings. Talbot responds that it is very similar to the county’s issues such as roofing issues, lack of mechanic space, no inside Wednesday, May 14, 2014 ---PAGE BREAK--- 123 parking for plows, plumbing needs and space issues. Ruzicka thinks that the beginning point would be to understand what the assets are and what equipment is out there. Quill asks if Selvek is aware of any time table from the state on the grants they are discussing. Selvek responds that right now there is state funding available for such a feasibility study that we are discussing tonight and it is due June 16th so it is 5 weeks away. Quill asks if it is possible to write something that quickly. Selvek responds that it is possible but they would need a resolution from both bodies within that 5 week period to allow them to submit that grant applica- tion. 2. Merging the City and the County Power Agencies Quill says that both the city and county have a power authority. He says they seem to be comingled that members are on one or vice versa. He says that it takes up staff time and takes away from a lot of other activities that we should be complet- ing. He says his suggestion is to bring the two of them together. Pinckney says he sits on the CCPUSA Board and he wouldn’t have a problem sitting down with both parties and having an initial conversation. He says he finds it very difficult at times going through the layer of government to oversee our entity. He says unless someone is going to totally let go of their entities in representation of combining he finds it very hard because we are going to have two governing bodies and one more layer of government to work with. Quill says that he agrees with him but at the same time the power authority for the City of Auburn is an advisory group to the City Council. He agrees with him that it should be serving all government within the county. Lattimore says as Chairman of the County Power Authority he is all in favor of margining and consolidating. He says that in regards to putting the two power authorities together he thinks they are both under referendums and he thinks it would take a referendum to seize one. He says he is concerned with about the city’s politics over the years with power agencies have been diffi- cult at best. He says he would not want to merge them and complicate things further. 3. Civil Service Selby says that we both have civil service commissions and both deal with the same issues under the same set of rules. Camardo says that if the City of Auburn kept their commission and the county took over administrative duties/functions of the civil service office then they would have their own commissions but would be working together. He says you would not need a referendum if you combined the administrative duties of both offices and retained the respective commissions. McCormick says that she thinks we need to look at the details and if there would be a cost savings. She is not sure if keeping two commissions is a good idea because it kind of defeats the purposes of consolidating. 4. CEDA’s Role for One Stop Economic Development Ruzicka says he would encourage some sort of reporting out of CEDA that would be distributed to the bodies. He says they have level of responsibility to the tax payer to let them know what is going on. Chapman says that the Legislature does require a report from CEDA. Fish says they are working on promoting that more Wednesday, May 14, 2014 ---PAGE BREAK--- 124 but there is a level of the activity that they carry out that is confidential in nature. He says they want people to know what is available and what services they offer so that will be a part of their promotional plan. Farrell says he thinks that step one for the consolidation would be for both the County and City to make the statement that they want to work on consolidation and then back away. He says to let Selby and Sinclair get together and tackle these issues so they can bring back the information to the bodies. He thinks that is the only way that they will move forward. Ruzicka says that he would like to see these types of meetings happen with a little more frequency. He suggests a one to two month time frame of when they meet. Chapman says that he thinks a meeting in a couple of months would be a good idea but we need time to look at when would be best. Motion by Didio to go into executive session at 7:19PM, 2nd by Foley, all in favor. Motion by Didio to come out of executive session at 7:32PM, 2nd by Pinckney, all in favor.

PROCLAMATIONS: Matthew Androsko Dedicated Auburn Police Officer James Frost Dedicated Auburn Police Officer David Walters Dedicated Auburn Police Officer Michael Beck Dedicated Cayuga County Sheriff’s Officer Andrew Campbell Dedicated New York State Trooper PRESENTATIONS: Turtle Clan Representative Cayuga Nation, Justin Bennett- Attached Bennett discusses the Cayuga Nation and there being three clans that are repre- sented on the council. He says that they are here to show that they are here to try to live together. He says that they have not been in their ancestral homeland for many years and they are doing their best. He says that it is not under the perfect circumstances and there is a lot of lack of communication. He says that this Tuesday, June 24, 2014 ---PAGE BREAK--- 156 evening is an opportunity to try to remedy the lack of communication. He says that they have begun their presentations over in Seneca County. He discusses the current leadership dispute amongst them. He says what started it recently was that our President and CEO of Lakeside Enterprises is overseen by the Council of the Cayuga Nation. He says the Council of the Cayuga Nation had decided that they wanted to make a change in the leadership of the Cayuga Nation Enterprises. He says that those decisions are exclusive to the Cayuga Nation. He says the Federal or the State Government does not say who will be the CEO or President. He says that the Cayuga Nation decided to relieve the President and CEO who is known as Clint Halftown. He says that there was a refusal and he did not accept the decision made by the council. He says this is a continuation of a previous decision going back 10 years ago in 2004 Mr. Halftown became ill and his clan mother had removed him from his duties as a clan representative and as a member of the council. He says from 2004 Halftown was no longer on the council. He says in 2005 the Sherill decision came down in March and the land interest here in Cayuga County where they are trying to exercise their sovereign rights. He says that in April of 2005 the Cayuga Nation land into trust application was filed at the Bureau of Indian Affairs. He says at the same time Chuck Jacobs and Sam George were condoled as Chiefs. He says some Turtle Clan members proceeded to have an election done in May of 2005. He says one of the requirements that was missing in April of 2005 was there was supposed to be a consensus decision by the Cayuga Nation to asks the BIA to take that land into trust. He says in January 2006 they signed off on that requirement however at that council meeting Chucks Jacobs, Sam George, Tim Two Guns, Gary Wheeler and none of them were present. He says that the only people that were present at that meeting were Clint Halftown, the nation secretary and the attorney’s. He says so the resolution that was passed is not a reflection of the Cayuga Nation but the reflection of an individual. He says that they have tried to explain this over and over to the federal government and it was not until June of 2012 that the document came into their hands. He says they have since had a meeting with the BIA and in March of 2014 explained the story and timeline of the events that occurred indicating that the resolution is fraudu- lent and non-binding. He says as they presented the presentation to them in March of 2014 there was no official decision after that meeting but the comment that was made is that they feel that they should not make a decision until the leadership dispute is resolved. He says so all the concern for the Cayuga Nation taking land into trust right now is at a standstill. He says what they are here for is to try to say that they would like to be good neighbors. He says they would like to work together and keep and maintain the balance of our environment. He says that as we take resources from the environment they must be replaced. He says somehow they have to figure out the mechanism so that way there is balance. He says because what Cayuga County has done much like Seneca County they have built roads, established electrical lines, infrastructure, water lines, and sewer line and if they partake in those things they also have to contribute in the mainte- nance of those things. He says that they want to be up front about that and are open to discussion in trying to figure out a way that we can live together and take care of the environment and the resources that exist here. He says in January of 2004 Tuesday, June 24, 2014 ---PAGE BREAK--- 157 the Interior Board of Indian Appeals made a decision and they vacated the decision of the Regional Director of the Bureau of Indian Affairs. He says that the decision was that they recognized the Unity Council and by vacating that decision the leadership question is up in the air still. He says recently they have been asked to submit briefs and they are due on the 27th of June. He says that both parties will switch briefs and will have the opportunity to respond to each other’s briefs and those responses will be due on July 11th. He says sometime after July 11h some sort of determination perhaps will be made. He says going back to the board of appeals they said they are vacating the decision because their Federal Agent the Regional Director did not have the circumstances required to make the decision. He says that they are explicitly saying they are not making any determination on the merits of any sides arguments and they are not making any determination of who is right or wrong. He says that the media has indicated that Halftown still holds by that decision which is incorrect. He says that decision only says that they vacate the decision of the Regional Director and they are not making any determination on either side. He says as things exist right now there is no Federal Representa- tive. Chapman says he wishes them well in trying to determine some leadership be- cause certainly that has been questioned. He says everyone continues to ask who is really in charge because it comes down to the question of if there was an agreement proposed to make a contribution towards the roads and other infra- structure items if there would be a binding agreement. Bennett says that if there is no clear leadership then there would be no binding agreement because the parties have to be official.

He says they are immediately going to start planning on some contingency plans for the col- lege. He also says that the college is going out for an RFP on some energy improvements.
