Robert Goodwin arrived at 5:08 PM.
2) Chuck Lent, Healtherapy
Chuck Lent and Suzanne Pindell were present to do a brief overview of the Healtherapy Program also known as the “Horse Program”. Chuck states he had the honor of previously working for the Karuk Tribe and still feels a connection to them. They were asked to give a brief overview of their program and the services they provide. Suzanne states they have been working with the Tribe since 1996. There was a power point presentation done to show how the horses are used to help the children with mental health therapy. Chuck states they bill Medi-Cal for the services they provide as it is a covered Mental Health service. Their services are officially called Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy. Patricia Hobbs was also present; she is a Karuk Tribal Member who also works for the program. They gave information regarding who is eligible to participate in the program and the types of issues they help them to deal with including; academic and attendance problems, behavioral difficulties at home and school, abuse and neglect, hyperactivity, depression, anxiety, and to cope with grief and sadness. There were statistics provided regarding the number of children seen for 2003, 2004, and 2005. About 20-30% of their clients are Native American, they feel those numbers are quite possibly under-reported. Suzanne and Chuck would like to meet with the Council separately if they would like so that they can discuss any items further that they are interested in. She invited the Council members to come out to the Ranch to see how they use the horses and see how the program works. They prepared some statistics regarding what amount the failure of traditional counseling can cost such as foster care ($1,400 per month), juvenile hall ($3,500 per month), hospitalization($10,000 per month), etc. They structure their program to avoid these costs. The County share of cost for these items can be up to 35% which will impact the Tribe as they are pursuing taking control of those services provided to Tribal children.
Leaf asked about the relationship between Healtherapy and KCDC’s Naa Vura Yee Shiip program and if they are competing or complimenting each other. Chuck states that they have assumed the treatment portion that compliments the cultural portion that her program provides. She states they do not compete against each other and they worked very closely throughout 2002. Leaf states that he encourages them to meet with Larry and ensure that the programs benefit each other.
3) Jeanerette Jacups-Johnny, Tribal Member
Jeanerette was present to ask the Council about the A-Frame Building in Orleans. She was told they would be tearing it down in July. She states they have had 750 people through the acupuncture program with good results from all local areas. They have requested no funding and have done it all through donations between herself and Christina. The only items she has asked for is a repair to the refrigerator (which is broken again) and space to provide their services. She also addressed them regarding a request for reimbursement for wood and propane for her son who recently moved to Orleans. She states she has a list of 37 people from Orleans that would like to see the A-Frame Building remain in Orleans. Arch states that the reimbursement request from her has not been passed through the LIAP Committee so they can check with Lisa to see where it is at in the application process.
Sami states they are still exploring if they will demolish the building or not and have testing materials sent off to labs but no results have been received at this time. The new facility will be a maintenance facility and not one that would be conducive to this program using it. Sami states another possible solution is to move the building to another location. They are fairly certain they will demolish the building due to the costs that would be incurred for rehabilitation to that building. Laura asked if they could use the Panamnik Center or if that would not be possible. They would have to check with Babbie as the director to see what type of scheduling would be required. They meet in the evenings from 7 PM to 10 PM so there should be no conflict. Irma Marshall indicates that the “stove” would not allow them to gather in a circle as they do and also questions how accessible the kitchen would be since the Senior Center uses that kitchen. She states that she travels to use the program and feels very positive about the services she receives and she misses the classes as they have been “shut-down” and are in limbo until they figure out what is going on. Arch suggests she continue working with Housing to see what can be done and work with the Administration Office regarding possible sites. Laura also suggests the Community Room at the DNR Office and kitchen. Jeanerette states that their items may be in the way in that building as much as it is used so that is why she didn’t request that. Leaf states the Mid Klamath Watershed Council is in the process of negotiating a lease for the former Panamnik Store and they may want to speak to them about possible space that can be used.
4) Jill Phillips-McLane, Community Services Council
Florrine introduced Jill as a representative from the Community Services Council which she currently sits on and Wes previously sat on. She handed out information to them regarding the Community Services Council roster and their mission statement. She also distributed copies of their Action Plan for 2005-2006 which includes the goals they plan to achieve during this year. Goal 1 is to develop a self-sustaining effort to improve the well being of Siskiyou County residents. Goal 2 is to monitor the well being of Siskiyou County residents. Goal 3 is to maximize Siskiyou County’s resources by building public and private partnerships to reduce duplication and minimize gaps in service delivery. Goal 4 is to improve the well being of Siskiyou County residents. The Council asked some questions about the programs that they provide. She states they mostly work as a resource to connect agencies so they can work together. Alvis suggests that she be in contact with Dion Wood, TERO Director. She states they are in the process of transferring to a private non-profit rather than being directly under the County.
5) Joe Snapp, Substance Abuse Program
Joe was present to request approval of the State of California Drug and Alcohol Program Cal Works 2004-2005 budget in the amount of $53,950 which is effective July 1, 2005 through June 30, 2006. It is a renewal for the program and covers a portion of his salary as well as vehicle expenses and treatment programs for Tribal Members.
Leaf Hillman moved and Florrine Super seconded to approve the 2nd year budget. 8 haa, 0 puuhara, 0 pupitihara.
He also introduced Toby the intern that has been working with him for about a year toward her certification. She went to school with him at Southern Oregon University.
6) Alvis Johnson, Happy Camp Brush Dance
Alvis gave a brief overview of the Brush Dance in Happy Camp. He states they did it and it went well. He was very happy to see the Councilman dancing at the ceremonies. He thanked Erin for all of her help with the girls and all of the people that came up to make it a great success. There were small bumps in the road but it all worked out good and they were very pleased. He thanked everyone for coming. Leaf states that it is important to acknowledge the efforts of many, many people that helped, in particular he would like the Council to express their thanks to Fred Burcell for their efforts over the last several years to get to this point. Laura pointed out that the entire Maintenance Crew spent several hours at the Ranch preparing for the event.
7) Sami Difuntorum, KTHA Executive Director
Sami was present to review her written report with the Council. She thanked them for moving her up on the agenda.
She states there are nearly 1 million dollars in first time homebuyer loans that have been issued and about $350,000 remaining in the fund. She states the McCovey and Jordan homes are complete and a new grant has been awarded to Leland Donahue. She gave a brief overview of the Happy Camp Resident Services Center, Oak Knoll, Shivshaneen property, and McKinley property. They continue to have issues to have the utilities completed in Yreka and have the City sign off on things so they can complete the project. Then they can start interior finishing on the homes so that hopefully the Elders can start moving in around August 15, 2005 if everything goes smoothly. The garages, porches, and sidewalk contract has been awarded as well. Several other construction projects continue as well as several miscellaneous projects they are working on.
She gave a very brief update on the funding changes that are proposed for the future block grant funding and will forward more detailed information to them.
She states she has one action item which is a change to the Tribal Housing Ordinance regarding evictions going to the Tribal Court. She found Housing Committee approval but not Tribal Council approval. She also added a signature line. The change was to Page 8, Item E adding Karuk Tribal to Court. They would like to table it as the section doesn’t really make sense. This can be addressed at the end of the Policy Meeting on 9/7/05 at 9 AM in the Council Chambers.
Leaf Hillman moved and Robert Goodwin seconded to approve Sami’s report. 8 haa, 0 puuhara, 0 pupitihara.
8) Old Business
There was a request for them to reinstate the Transporters to the Tribal budget to take them to doctor appointments. Laura states if they contact the CHR or Elder’s Worker they can arrange for transportation to appointments. Laura states there is not enough money in the budget to reinstate that position. They try to make it work but have other duties as well and so they must be given a lot of notice to work it into their schedules. If the individuals have a form of transportation and family members that can take them to appointments, they can apply to CHS for mileage assistance to help with gas money. They can re-evaluate the situation when they revise the budgets. There was also a suggestion to do a ½ Maintenance, ½ Transporter position as currently the maintenance staff must come all the way from Happy Camp to do small repairs.
Larry states that there are possible grant dollars that can be used to address the transportation needs.
9) Leo Carpenter, Museum Director
Leo was present to review his written report with the Council. It updated them on his current activities in the People’s Center. He states he has been exploring the possibility of setting up a long term loan from a private museum in Arizona that may be eligible for repatriation at a later date. He has had one basket cap repatriated to the Tribe from San Francisco and that individual actually came up to the Happy Camp Brush Dance and danced over the weekend. He also states that he has been exploring the possibility of starting retail sales shops in Yreka and Orleans.
He would like to get some signs made for the People’s Center in the amount of $1,063 from Ray the Painter in Happy Camp as several people do not know it is there. The funding would be from discretionary. It will be designed to match the Pharmacy sign that was done. The Council was not pleased with the materials but is satisfied with the sign design. He would also like to work with Cal Trans to get I-5 signage in the future. Bob states there is a lot of nice cedar material at the Ranch available that could be used and it would look very nice as well. They would like to table it to Wednesday so he can see if there is any negotiating to be done.
His other action item is travel to Tuscon, Arizona to begin the loan process for the two white deerskins and have them home in time for this year’s ceremonies. Leaf states he is concerned with the testing and being able to visit and bring them home in one trip. He can try to do more expedient testing as well so that they can come back sooner. Leaf asked if the testing is a determining factor for the loan, Leo states he does not think so as they initiated the process themselves. Leaf would like to see everything consolidated into one trip to Arizona to bring them home at the same time. There is also an otter hide and two Karuk Jump Dance baskets there that he would like to bring home and show them how they are used. They would like him to work out all details and they will vote on Wednesday to approve the travel. Leaf states if the chemical treatment becomes a reason for not sending the items back, those toxins can be fixed once they get it home.
Leeon Hillman moved and Leaf Hillman seconded to approve Leo’s report. 7 haa, 1 puuhara (Robert Goodwin), 0 pupitihara.
10) Julie Burcell-Carpenter/Rick Hill, Grant Writers
Rick was present to report for the Grant Writing Office. He introduced himself and his background. Julie works full time and he works two days per week and they have been on staff for about six weeks. He went over the list of grants they are currently working on with staff and departments. Erin pointed out that all of the directors have not responded to the grant writer’s request for information regarding funding they require in their departments. She states it would be very helpful to have information from all directors even if it is a very small item they would like to request. The Council would like to know who has/has not submitted their surveys at the Wednesday meeting so that they can address that issue further.
Leeon Hillman moved and Florrine Super seconded to approve Julie and Rick’s report. 8 haa, 0 puuhara, 0 pupitihara.
11) Laura Mayton, Chief Finance Officer
Laura was present to review her report. She distributed the final copy of the Audit. Bob states that he would like to speak to her about additional staffing needs for the Indirect Cost Pool as he has some ideas. She states that there was one finding in the Audit regarding incomplete I-9’s in the personnel files and they have submitted a corrective action plan regarding this. Sara will be reviewing the files and has prepared a notice to the Supervisor’s to be placed with the I-9 in the orientation packets to prevent this in the future.
She requested a meeting date in August to go over the FY 2006 budgets. August 29, 2005 at 10 AM was set; the follow-up meeting will be September 15, 2005 at 10 AM.

The old Housing Administration Building will become the Head Start Center. She states the CAP has been submitted to the State and the new program officer will be on site on August 30, 2005 to review the program files starting at 8:30 AM. She will request approval of the Contract Procurement Policy in the near future and will put it in their box. She is working on the repair work for the Yreka Roads project. She states they will be receiving a new officer for their HIP program as well. She states the government is trying to get rid of the HIP program and trying to say there is not a need due to the low number of applications received because it is so long and complex. Lisa tried to use prizes as an incentive to get more applications but has still only received 5. Laura suggests setting up a date so that she or Lisa can meet with them to help them.

She would like to request a donation from the Council and do fundraising and be added to the Wednesday meeting agenda to discuss possible support of the Harlem All-Star Basketball Team coming to Happy Camp for a performance and free basketball mini-camp. They plan to do an Indian Taco feed to raise dollars and could charge adults an admission to help as well. The total cost is $2,000 to have them come.

Leaf Hillman moved and Leeon Hillman seconded to approve Jennifer’s report. 8 haa, 0 puuhara, 0 pupitihara.
20) Larry Jordan, Executive Director
Larry was present to review his written report. He went over the highlights of his report.
He states that the IHS Master Plan Initiative is moving forward and he attended a meeting in Sacramento a couple of weeks ago to get this process started. There is a questionnaire to be completed and the final document will contain tons of information about the Tribe, their staffing needs, facilities needs, etc. to meet the needs of the Tribal Members. They are required to prepare a response by August and he will be involving the staff to get the survey done. The Innova Group will be on site August 25, 2005 to gather information in Happy Camp. They are the outside firm hired by IHS to do this work. He will email this information out as well and the entire process will take about six months.
He also briefly mentioned the Mental Health Services Act and the funding that they may be able to access to improve access to the uninsured. He has been attending the regional meetings in Happy Camp and Mike Edwards has been attending the Yreka meetings to discuss these possible funds. There will be about $500,000 in Siskiyou County to meet these unmet needs and there are questionnaires being distributed to gather information. If anyone is interested in attending these meetings, they can contact him or Mike Edwards.
He and Mike Edwards, Yreka Social Worker, did a brief overview of the Tribe’s progress toward becoming a Foster Family Agency and the barriers they have encountered including; insurance requirements and cost of providing free rent to the foster family home. They are exploring the possible option of providing slots to the County and Remi-Vista to raise funding. They have a meeting with Remi-Vista to gather information about how to certify the Foster Home.
Mike states there are currently no Tribes licensed through the State to be a Foster Care Agency. The Tribes that are doing this are doing it with Gaming funds or TANF funds to avoid having to receive the State licensing. Remi-Vista has agreed to work with them to allow them to certify Tribal homes and allow the parents to receive training and they will receive the funding and then pay the Foster Parents. They are hoping this will be a way to see how it may work and bring a possible agreement with them back to the Council for review, discussion, and approval. He currently has five families completing the application to be a Foster Family that was recently approved by the Council last week. They are working as hard as they can to get a family in the home by the time December comes and the funding runs out.
The only other item Larry had was the work they are doing to renew the HRSA Grant for year two which is due on August 8, 2005. They did a mid-year assessment and no outstanding issues were identified at that time. They have applied for additional Federal Tort Claims Act coverage for the Health Providers. They have hired the Patient Eligibility Worker that is paid from that funding as well.
He has a request for Alissa Johnson to attend the Portland Wellness Forum and the training costs will be reimbursed from IHS. It is less than 400 miles from Happy Camp so it doesn’t technically require Council approval.
Robert Goodwin moved and Florence Conrad seconded to approve out of state travel for Alissa Johnson to Portland, Oregon. 8 haa, 0 puuhara, 0 pupitihara.
Robert Goodwin moved and Alvis Johnson seconded to approve Larry’s report. 8 haa, 0 puuhara, 0 pupitihara.
21) Toni McLane, Head Start Director
Toni was present to review her report with the Council. She requested approval of a revised position description for the Bus Driver position. They have revised it from 35 hours/week to 30 hours/week unless there is a field trip. It has been reviewed and approved by the Policy Council. She would like to start advertising so that they can get a Driver hired before school starts.
Florrine Super moved and Florence Conrad seconded to approve the position description with changes. 8 haa, 0 puuhara, 0 pupitihara.
She states Happy Camp will be hiring a Teacher’s Assistant as Linda Davis will no longer be able to work at the Happy Camp Center and she will be moving Nena Creasy into the Teacher position and advertising for Nena’s position. She is wondering if the Council would support purchasing a plaque for Linda Davis as she has been with Head Start since the late 1980’s. The funding will have to come from discretionary.
Leaf Hillman moved and Florrine Super seconded to approve purchasing a plaque for Linda Davis. 8 haa, 0 puuhara, 0 pupitihara.
She included a copy of their report addressing the items from their on site review that was conducted several months ago. She requested approval of their response so that it is reflected in the minutes. The Head Start staff prepared the responses and the Policy Council as well. The Council would like them to go to Erin prior to submission. It has to be sent via Fed Ex on Monday.
Florrine Super moved and Robert Goodwin seconded to approve the PRISM response for submission pending Erin’s review. 7 haa, 0 puuhara, 1 pupitihara (Roy Arwood).
She states there is a conflict with the training the scheduled for the Council/Policy Council as it is November 7-8, 2005 but that is Election Day. They will keep it scheduled for those days, Florrine will miss one day.
