                                   OVERVIEW

PURPOSE
The Eight Northern Pueblos Council membership consist of the Governor's from the following Pueblos, Pueblo of Picuris, Pueblo of Tesuque, Ohkay Owingeh, Pueblo of Nambe, Pueblo of Ildefonso, Pueblo of Taos, and Pueblo of Pojoaque Pueblo of Santa Clara.

The Governors meet monthly to conduct business so I asked to be placed on their agenda so we could remind the Governors of the comment period for the Second Draft of Tribal Declaration Pilot Guidance, highlight the changes and encourage submittal of comments.

Meeting Summary
RTL provided the Governors a packet with the exact information that had been sent to them by the Administrator. I reviewed the side by side document and informed that this were the primary changes to the first draft.  They listen intently, however, they did not have any comments other than asking questions about the current Tribal Declaration Process and Hazard Tribal Mitigation Plans.  I encouraged them to please submit their comments by April 7, 2016.
COMMENTS RELATED TO THE PROPOSED CONSULATION POLICY
General Comments:
 One of the Governors did share with his fellow Governors that his Pueblo would probably not go direct because he had a good relationship with the State and the fact that they did assist with half of the 25 percent cost share.
