Guests:

1.) Phil Albers, Tribal Member

Phil is present to introduce himself and to announce information from the after school program. He is the Director of the after school program that covers several schools. He began his position in 2006. Last year he was awarded a grant for the Orleans program which is California State funded. The program is for safety and enrichment for children after school. The grant funding
will be available for quite a bit and he does not foresee any changes. The other sites have
modular’s that the children use, however the Orleans facility does not have a location to hold their after school activities. Currently, they are working with what they have, shared space, however it is not meeting the programs goals. The program is set up to support academic enhancement and cultural enrichment.
He is present to seek approval to have the afterschool program housed in Orleans and at one of the Tribes buildings. Phil met with the School Districts CFO and attorneys to draft an agreement. He sent it to the Administration office for review by Erin and Bob, but they have not had time to review it to date. So he is not seeking formal approval today but will be seeking approval once revisions are made. Phil identified one restriction such as felons being around children and the Tribes building being accessible to the public. Phil has procedures in writing regarding how to
effectively protect children in a public building. He is only seeking for the use after school until
6pm. Erin noted that she was unable to access her computer system and due to priorities his agreement was not reviewed. Phil noted that no one else is using that facility. Verna inquired about Laverne doing her baseketweaving classes. Phil will check on that. April noted that the

Council Meeting, 3.22.2012, Page 1 of 11

room is used on Thursday’s and Friday’s. Erin noted that one thing that she has noticed is that there is no centralized location for a calendar to all the spaces in Orleans. Erin would like to suggest that Tawnia track that room use and schedule it. Erin noted that the room was intended to be used for cultural activities and enhancement so the more use is better. Phil did note that any costs related to his in particular course will be covered by the district. Any children that attend Orleans Elementary School can register/enroll in the afterschool program which is beneficial for the students and increases the enrollment increasing funding.

2.) Eric Cutright, IT Director:

Eric noted that the question on most people’s minds is what happened to the Tribes network. Eric noted that over the weekend there was a physical failure in the store room in Happy Camp; two servers had failed over the weekend. He was sick, but his team was working on this. They replaced the bad units, and when there are two failures, everything must come down. They turned everything off Monday afternoon and the system was re-built. Once back up, there was a
cascading server failure. When everything was turned back on, some items did not come back up
and they were unsure why. This lead them to immediately prioritize bringing the health clinics back up first and right away. With equipment failure they began working on that to complete repairs. By the end of yesterday, things were intermittently still down.
Eric noted that this is one of the worst nightmare experiences he has ever had and is possibly the worst thing that can happen in an IT Department.
Jody asked if there was a way to have a better back up system. Eric is working on this, and he is unsure why the backup system failed and they have considered offsite backup, but the internet speeds where the Tribe is housed isn’t fast enough to get that back up done to an offsite location.
Laura asked if there is a way to check every morning to verify if each backup is complete. Eric noted that yes, but it is not working still. Eric will set up a policy on checking the backup nightly or verifying it was complete every morning. Buster inquired if there is a difference in costs for backup systems. Eric noted yes, that last year they paid $12,000 for a backup system. One on location and one centralized in Happy Camp. This then becomes stored on tapes which are data archives. Eric explained that what failed are the copies from the outside offices to the central location and they found that they failed to come to the centralized location and it went unnoticed.
He is unsure how to determine what caused the failure but he is attempting to replace equipment to ensure smoother service at a lower cost, rather than full replacement. He feels that this will ensure a better backup system. Jody felt that it was cheaper to purchase it and get it onsite as well so that the offices can be back up and running when there is a failure. Laura felt that other than equipment having a member of the IT staff determine if the backups worked and verify this daily moving forward, would be beneficial. Eric did note that Jason is administering network checks and within the Tribes 100 systems they are working on automatic systems to notify Jason of failures.
Eric then presented action items to the Council. He presented Karuk Tribe Highway 96
Broadband Project Draft Revision (1), March 1, 2012. It is a white paper that he drafted for Bob, Dora and Buster to take to DC to seek funding and support for broadband. Eric also put a costs sheet for the broadband project. They continue to work on bringing internet to Orleans. They are considering ideas to bring internet to the area, by seeking partners. The cost is too high for the low volume of users in Orleans.

Council Meeting, 3.22.2012, Page 2 of 11

He provided two options for the Council one being linking to Hoopa and the other going to Willow Creek. The Hoopa and Yurok Council’s are reviewing this same information to include partnerships. Eric would like to seek consensus from the Council to work on the grant funding that is due in May. Buster noted that if the computers are up, then he should work on that. Jody also noted that with KCDC they have been waiting for a year to have work done. Eric noted that he is trying to get someone contracted to complete the Amkuuf shop project however with the recent failures that was pushed back. He will continue to work on the needs of the programs but in the larger picture bringing broadband to Orleans will greatly improve systems for the Tribe.

Consensus: to support Eric in working on the additional funding opportunities, while the network is up.

3.) David Tripp, Tribal Member:

David is present to seek approval from the Tribal Council to support the 2012 Karuk Mountain (Jump) Dance with financial assistance. They are requesting portable toilets, garbage (one dumpster), liability insurance, and a water truck. This will be the 19th year that this dance has been done. He noted that when things are learned and there is a commitment to learn, then there is a tremendous amount of spiritual growth.

Verna Reece motioned and Bud Johnson seconded to approve the list of items that they are providing for the Mountain Dances, not to exceed $6,000, 5 haa, 0 puuhara, 0 pupitihara.

Verna inquired if there was a river jump dance. David noted that this is a mountain dance and an anthropologist once called it a jump dance so that is how it came to be called a “jump dance”, so the group now will go back to its correct name, which is a mountain dance.

Director Reports:

1.) Jim Berry, KTHA Director:

Jim Berry is not present but Buster provided his report for the Council to review. This will be tabled to later, because the Council just received it.

2.) April Attebury, Tribal Court Administrator:

April is present to review her report. She has no action items.

Crispen McAllister motioned and Jody Waddell seconded to approve April’s report, 4 haa, 0 puuhara, 1 pupitihara (Jody Waddell).

3.) Darlene Snapp, KCDC Finance Officer:

Darlene arrived late and provided her report to the Council. She noted that they are behind in drawdowns because of Chris’ absence but they are posting for a replacement and that will assist her in getting all the financials in order.
The HUD RIF drawdown access has been received. The automated payment system has been done and is a three year grant for the Happy Camp Community Center.
Amkuuf provided a listing of the items that have been stolen and provided to the insurance agent. The Orleans Verizon line was disconnected. She received a call from Jim Berry and Babbie Peterson stating that it was a positive thing to do because of the garbage in the area.
The Peacemaker Agreement is on hold for the KCDC Board to approve. The School Readiness was chosen as a model to go statewide to prepare in getting kids ready for school. Verna asked

Council Meeting, 3.22.2012, Page 3 of 11

why there were no drawdowns on the KTHA funding after it was approved. Darlene noted that they are behind, because she is having issues as identified in the audit. She is preparing to bill out the KTHA projects at this time.
Darlene met with Sue Burcell and solidifying the agenda for Blue Lake. Monday night 4/2 she would like one of the Board Members to be present. Buster and Crispen will attend to meet with Sue Burcell, presenters, and staff.
Darlene wanted to clarify the list of attendees because she feels that there are people that should be attending that are not, and also staff that have expressed an interest that need to be added to the list. They are requesting Jim Berry and Bob Goodwin attend. The Council approved a list of attendees previously and that was forwarded to Darlene; Barbara provided a list of individuals that were approved to attend to Darlene. Tabled to closed session.
Buster met with Patty this morning regarding the Head Start building and classrooms. There are a couple things that he has received that he will forward to her regarding physical education.
Darlene would like to work with Dora and Bob to obtain some funding to attend a criminal justice program training as well.

Crispen McAllister motioned and Jody Waddell seconded to approve Darlene’s report, 5 haa, 0 puuhara, 0 pupitihara.

4.) Daniel Goodwin, Maintenance Supervisor:

Daniel is present to review his report. He apologized for not having his Council report in late. His report included discussion of losing a member of their department. They have filled that vacancy
with Philip Titus. He has worked of the maintenance department in past and knows the program so he should fall right into place.
The crew continues to work at the old KCDC log building. That is almost complete with having one more office to complete. He hopes to have the whole project completed in one more week. Bud has requested for some poles to be cut for the Brush Dance pit in Happy Camp and that should be done as soon as possible. The project of the bathrooms at the ranch is coming along, but he isn’t sure of the details as Fred hasn’t included him in the discussions of that project.
There is a severe ant issue at the administration complex and he will be addressing it.
The table that is going to be refinished in Happy Camp Admin meeting room is being done. A piece of tempered glass will be installed on it and finished in a couple weeks. Sonny would like to have a curtain around the table in Orleans as well. The color will be determined and ordered at a later date.

Verna Reece motioned and Crispen McAllister seconded to approve Daniel’s report, 5 haa, 0 puuhara, 0 pupitihara.

5.) Sara Spence, HR Manager:

Sara is not present she stayed in Happy Camp to complete finger prints as its election year. Her written report was provided and she has one action item. The approval of her revised position
description, which will be tabled to closed session.

6.) Duke Arwood, Education Coordinator:

Council Meeting, 3.22.2012, Page 4 of 11

Duke is present to provide his report to the Council. He has no action items. He completed a review of the education department activities within the recent month.
The tutor in Yreka is working very well. It’s exciting to see the children get right off the bus and attend tutoring and things that they will not be able to access at home are being provided by KTHA and the Education Department working together to bring access at the KTHA Computer Center. Duke would like that to work in Happy Camp as well, so he asked that the Council representatives that are also BOC to assist in finding this space.
Duke noted that the Junior visit day to COS was beneficial for the students. They learned some interactive tools to address their time management and how to successfully pay for schooling. The program also assists in budgeting which is nice because they are Juniors and have already had some insight to the process. They had a decision model to determine if they should attend a dance or a basketball game, and based on math you can determine what activity to do.
A meeting is requested from the Council and a person from DNR, with the Fish and Game, to discuss options for youth employment. They will determine what works and try to get some Council Members to attend as well. Further information will be distributed as it becomes available.

Crispen McAllister motioned and Jody Waddell seconded to approve Duke’s report, 5 haa, 0 puuhara, 0 pupitihara.

The Tribal Chairman’s Association meeting was changed so Duke was not able to do a presentation. However with some meetings and acquaintances he did get to send information on to them and the NCTCA did support the Tribes project. Duke has been unable to schedule a meeting with the Siskiyou County Superintendent. April noted that she sits on the site Council in Yreka and there is some crisis in that area.

7.) Robert Attebery, LIAP Administrator:

Robert is present to discuss the LIAP budget. The department received 2/3 of the usual budget. He is unable to get in touch with the representative in DC and according to the original award letter; it notes that there is only $60,000 for one fiscal year. He noted that the good news is that the auditors from the State provided a nice review which will be $16,000 which in turn will assist
128 different applicants with assistance. The only restriction is it cannot be used by Descendants. Tiffany has been working on the REACH grant which was received in 2008 for $50,000. Tiffany
drafted a proposal for next fiscal year. That will allow for some use this year and some of it is
used for energy conservation and education. This would include a conservation calendar for each month, including conservation tips per month. Also, there is an incentive plan to raffle an energy saver item.
The work experience program has been discussed. The Committee is discussing the program, and it is in limbo but he does have some ideas. He is hoping to have staff on board that will create some ideas on where to place some work experience people.
The HIP program is moving forward. There are a couple applicants and he is hoping for the best. It appeared that there were a couple applications that may be successful.
Buster noted that there are small things that create independence and small things being met are great advances. Such as being on time and making an effort for the work experience people. Bob

Council Meeting, 3.22.2012, Page 5 of 11

agrees that there are several success stories of the program and he is willing to work with them and empower them to take control of their future.

She then went on to update the Council on the CTAS proposal which the group is working on. They continue to work on the purpose areas and one of the main purpose areas is law enforcement and safety. In order to accomplish this service, the group decided to draft a planning grant to meet those needs, which Tiffany drafted the narrative for. She is working on the Tribal Youth Program purpose area and April is working on the Domestic Violence portion. Jaclyn is working on the IMLS grant as well and she is hoping to expand that.

Council Meeting, 3.22.2012, Page 6 of 11

She provided a list of items that were non-compliant on projects that were submitted without approval. She submitted a letter to the Hoopa Tribe asking that they follow up on their reports.

Erin and Eric have been working with Stephanie with Busters permission, to discuss legal concerns regarding broadband issues. This will be discussed later in closed session.
Erin then went on to discuss the presentation that Phil did earlier this evening.

He met with Caltrans and they are working on replacing 84 culverts. Dion is meeting with Caltrans and the Contractors on hiring Native Americans when they begin these jobs.

And Dion is unsure of the extent of workers and needs, but he will be gathering all that information and assisting Caltrans in identifying workers. There was a really good Yav Pa Anav meeting and the group is going to now be productive, with their budgeted $37,000 for enhancement services.
