Resolution #81-32; and WHEREAS; the Bureau of Indian Affairs has requested additional information pursuant to POTT. Resolution #81-32; and WHEREAS; this Resolution neither rescinds nor amends in any way POTT. Resolution 81-32; now THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the following definitions and additional information be viewed by the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Secretary of Interior as addenda to POTT. Resolution #81-32. The Acquisition, Development, and Maintenance Program is a single program which utilizes three (3) terms to describe the activities and/or actions to be undertaken by the Tribe in accomplishing the Program. These terms are defined below: ACQUISITION - The term ""ACQUISITION"", as used in context with the Program, shall be those actions and/or activities undertaken by the Tribe to acquire, to get, or to come to have as it's own real estate (land), including the buildings or improvements on such real estate, and, when possible and feasible, it's natural assets such as minerals, water, and so forth. Such real estate acquisition activities may take place by the Tribe with the ultimate goals of having such acquired real estate placed in Trust status for the Tribe; or having such acquired real estate remain in fee title of the Tribe. DEVELOPMENT - The term ""DEVELOPMENT"", as used in context with the Program, shall be those activities and/or actions undertaken by the Tribe to in some way cause growth, building up, expansion, strengthening, increased effectiveness, or other evolutionary process toward the progress of the Tribe economically, and/or socially , and/or governmentally. MAINTENANCE - The term ""MAINTENANCE"", as used in context with the Program, shall be those activities and/or actions undertaken by the Tribe to keep in good repair or condition any/ all property, real and other, which is owned by the Tribe in Trust or in fee. The Acquisition, Development, and Maintenance Program is designed with a single thought in mind - to provide maximum benefits to our Tribal members. The Tribal Council, by establishing a 30% set-aside, acknowledged the certainty that most recipients of per capita payments will utilize such payments to alleviate short range problems with little or no thought given to long range plans or situations regarding their futures. Simply stated, the vast majority of recipients will find themselves in the same basic difficult situation after usage of their payment as they were prior to the payment. To attempt to counteract this situation, the Tribe desires to implement a long range plan, utilizing the 30% set-aside and/or it's earned interest, to benefit tribal members by acquiring additional tribal land base; developing it's assets; and/or maintaining it's property in a state of good repair. By utilizing the designated funds in such a manner as to achieve economic stability, and ultimately economic growth, the Tribe will be less dependent upon dwindling federal support. For example, the Tribe anticipates a portion of the 30% set-aside to provide operating capital for a tribally owned, public daily fee golf course which is currently under construction upon Tribal Trust property. It if is assumed that a total of $250,000.00 of the 30% set-aside is to be used for this purpose, the Tribe has demonstrated to both the Bureau of Indian Affairs and to the Department of Housing and Urban Development that a return of approximately $1,156,000.00 may be expected over a 20 year life of the project. Such demonstrative data is based upon professional pro forma data obtained through Bureau of Indian Affairs' Commercial Enterprise Development contracts. Such net return on investment would be channeled back into the Acquisition, Development, and Maintenance Program, as well as into supplemental programs to decrease the adverse impact of federal budget reductions in the areas of health, education, housing, employment, tribal operations, and so forth. It should be noted that the above example is not designed to limit the Tribe's usage of said funds, but rather is shown in an attempt to demonstrate the long range plans for continuance of the Tribe as a viable entity that is not entirely dependent upon federal dollars. It should be further noted that there is no particular percentage division on funds for a given activity and/or action undertaken by the Tribe within the Acquisition, Development, and Maintenance Program. Each proposed project will be judged according to it's individual merits and funds allocated to that project accordingly. Locations of projects within the purview of the Acquisition, Development, and Maintenance Program will be determined by the Business Committee using sound business practices. The first priority of locations of projects will be within and/or near the historic boundaries of the Citizen Band Potawatomi Reservation: PROVIDED, this priority shall neither limit nor restrict activit- ies and/or actions under the Acquisition, Development, and Maintenance Program to any given area. The Acquisition, Development, and Maintenance Program is not designed to adher to any given timeframe. Such funds are to be utilized on an as needed basis dependent upon the nature of the proposed project viewed in context with the need(s) of the Tribe for the acquisition, development, and/or maintenance of that particular project. Since the Acquisition, Development, and Maintenance Program may encompass any number of diverse projects, guidelines for utilization of funds will be developed by the Business Committee to fulfill the given need(s) of the Tribe. Developed guidelines will be within the scope and purpose of the Acquisition, Development, and Maintenance Program; will contain detailed budgetary information concerning administrative, implementation, and/or execution costs; will establish projected timeframes for objective accomplishments; will, when applicable, describe specifically the site of the proposed project; and, when applicable, describe proposed usage of net revenue derived from the project. Such developed guidelines will be subject to approval of the General Council and the Secretary of the Interior.
