- no economic development for this year and next
- Marina restaurant - not this year, maybe next year
- businesses at the casino not making any money, except for Biindigen store on gaming floor, still running in the red!
- according to Rick Morano, CFO, housing is revenue, so there is no rent to own and there are strictly rentals, therefore band members will never own their own home and land. Cost of a lot is $14,000. Why should our people have to pay for our land twice? We already own it because former Chief Yellowhead and his people purchased the land we now live on.
- The financial information should be given to the people in hard copy form, so this information can be reviewed because the information pertains to their money. Instead of viewing the information on a slide projector.
- There were a few instances where a department showed a certain number of employees, but the band has not hired them yet.
- In the financial statements, people in the on-call positions were classified as part-time workers, which is misleading to our employment numbers. We should know how many on-call, part-time, full-time, and band members and non-native people fill these positions. Why is this such a big secret? Obviously, if there is no economic development, there is no job creation.
- There were only 17 people in attendance from the Rama membership, and the rest were staff members.
