BUSINESS COUNCIL DEFERS TO OMAK DISTRICT MEMBERSHIP


Feb 26, 2014

At a meeting of the Colville Business Council on Friday, the Council unanimously decided to give the voting members of the Omak District two weeks to work on developing recommendations to present to the Council for filling the recently vacated Council position in that District.

“The membership came forward with ideas, and was heard.  The (Colville Business) Council fully supports the desire of the District to thoughtfully deliberate the best way to fill the vacant position in a way that suits and honors the voting members of that District” said Chairman Michael Finley today.

The vacancy, created when Omak Councilman and Tribal Vice-Chairman Ernest “Sneena” Brooks III resigned last week after being arrested in a rape case in North Idaho, must be filled by the Colville Business Council in accordance with the Tribal Constitution.
