2 CHAIRWOMAN STEVENS: So we're going to

3 call this meeting to order. This is an effort by

4 this Commission to open -- sort of open the doors to

5 our internal processes in decision making and having

6 public meetings out in Indian Country. This is our

7 second meeting of this Commission that is open to

8 the public. Our first meeting was in April in

9 Phoenix. This is our second meeting. We plan on

10 having these meetings quarterly. The next one will

11 probably be in the fall sometime, that date is yet

12 to be -- date and location is yet to be determined.

13 We do post this information on our website, the

14 agenda. The transcript that will come from here

15 will also be posted online.

16 And as we embark on this, we begin, we

17 are informing everyone here of what the activities

18 are of the Commission. We do do other business out

19 in Indian Country but this is separate and apart

20 from that. This meeting, like I said, is open to

21 the public. And you'll hear from the Commission --

22 the Commissioners and our staff today about general

23 information, decisions, the progress that we are

24 making on our major issues. As time goes by we may

25 be taking official action with decisions that the

4

1 Commission has under the statute; for example, when

2 proposing, promulgating regulations. We don't have

3 this on the agenda today but as we move forward

4 later in time as we continue our quarterly meetings

5 those may occur.

6 So my apologizes. My name is Tracie

7 Stevens, I'm the Chairwoman of the National Indian

8 Gaming Commission, I'm a member of the Tulalip

9 Tribes. I do want to offer the opportunity to the

10 other Commissioners to provide opening statements

11 and introduce themself, so to my right is Vice

12 Chairwoman Steffani Cochran and to my left is

13 Associate Commissioner Dan Little.

14 VICE CHAIRWOMAN COCHRAN: Good morning.

15 I am Steffani Cochran, a member of the Chickasaw

16 Nation, and this is home, and it's good to be home

17 for a couple of days, even if the weather is

18 unbearably hot. I appreciate the opportunity to be

19 here today and spend some time with you, to update

20 you on some of the activities of the Commission and

21 to also hear any public comments that come in during

22 the public discussion portion of the meeting so

23 thank you for joining us this morning and we look

24 forward to speaking about the meeting. Thank you.

1 morning everyone, my name is Dan Little, I'm

2 Associate Commissioner with the NIGC. I came on

3 board in April of last year for a three-year term.

4 Originally from Connecticut prior to becoming a

5 Commissioner. I worked with the Mashantucket Pequot

6 Tribe. Very happy to be here today in order to hold

7 a conference and I'm very interesting in hearing

8 your comments today. Thank you.

9 CHAIRWOMAN STEVENS: Thank you Steffani

10 and Dan.

11 Just so you all know how this is laid

12 out, there are agendas up at the front table there

13 and anyone who wants to make public comment, there's

14 a list for people who do want to make public

15 comments. I just want to remind everybody that as

16 we move through the agenda the public comments is at

17 the end of the agenda. Prior to that there won't be

18 any participation, this will just be information

19 sharing that we'll be doing, at the Commission.

20 Again the sign-up sheet is on the back at

21 the end of the meeting, we do open for public

22 comment.

23 Before we move on to the Chief of Staff

24 report, I do want to say that our Chief of Staff was

25 unable to make it, he got stuck in Chicago, so what
Capital Reporting Company

Public Commission Meeting 07-18-2011

(866) 448 - DEPO

1 we have done instead is, we'll divide up the Chief

2 of Staff's report. The Training and Technical

3 Assistance portion, Vice Chairwoman Steffani Cochran

4 will give you a report. And for Agency Operations

5 Review, Associate Commissioner Dan Little will give

6 that report.

7 I just want to remind everybody that this

8 Commission has embarked on four major initiatives.

9 One, to improve the Consultation and Relationship

10 with Tribes and the relationship with other -- not

11 just the Tribes but with other federal entities.

12 The second initiative is on Technical Assistance and

13 Training, which the Vice Chairwoman will speak on.

14 The third major initiative is Regulatory Review.

15 Many of you we are undertaking that endeavor now.

16 And then the fourth and final initiative of this

17 Commission is Agency Operation Review, which is a

18 look back at ourself in the mirror to see how our

19 Agency is operating on the chain and how we can best

20 improve our Agency's internal operation so that we

21 serve Tribes better. And that's an initiative that

22 Associate Commissioner Little has taken upon himself

23 to lead.

24 So those are our four major initiatives.

25 You see that we have broken them up on the agenda.

1 And as I stated earlier we will have Vice Chairwoman

2 Steffani Cochran talk to the second major

3 initiative, Technical and Training.

4 CHAIRWOMAN STEVENS: Okay. I have the

5 privilege of being tasked with being responsible for

6 the task of the Agency's initiative objectives and

7 it's really a privilege because it's such an

8 essential part of our -- an essential component I

9 should say of our mission. Training and Technical

10 Assistance is really a great way for us to show our

11 commitment to our collaboration to the Tribes.

12 Outside of it just being such, there's no other

13 component which allows us to fulfill all the other

14 Commission objectives, and so it's a real privilege

15 that I get to work in this area on a routine basis.

16 It also is the best preventive measure

17 that we have for compliance issues and enforcement

18 action in the Agency and so therefore I think it's

19 -- and the Commissioners think it's a very essential

20 part of what we do on a day to day basis, directly

21 in working with the Tribes.

22 We made -- when the three of us came

23 together at the Commission we made a commitment at

24 that time to review and to evaluate our current

25 activities. Everything that we do on the Training
Capital Reporting Company

1 and Technical Assistance basis, we agreed to look at

2 it and to review it to see how we could improve upon

3 the activities or create new activities which would

4 better help the Agency's obligations. And the first

5 thing that we did, as many of you know, is we

6 started with a training survey that was sent out the

7 early part of the year. And we were looking towards

8 the Tribal needs and obstacles to Tribes and in

9 meeting training needs, because of budgetary

10 constraints and other things that might be affecting

11 the Tribes, and so we had a great percentage of you

12 respond to that survey, and give us a lot of

13 feedback to help us identify what we needed to focus

14 on. And we really do appreciate the efforts of the

15 Tribes because it took time out of your busy

16 schedules, and we appreciate that time you gave us.

17 Amongst the obstacles that were

18 identified by the Tribes included distance, funding

19 or lack of funding, opportunities. It also included

20 reduction in existing funding mechanisms either to

21 get to us or to offer something on their own. And

22 the other thing that we took away from that is, we

23 also, you identified what types of courses and

24 what's important to you so that you can better

25 utilize and we can better offer courses that would
Capital Reporting Company

Public Commission Meeting 07-18-2011

(866) 448 - DEPO

9

1 meet your greatest needs.

2 I'll share with you a little bit of the

3 general comments, and we put on the website the

4 results from the survey and the executive summaries.

5 I hope you will take a chance to look at it because

6 really and truly, what we do right now goes back to

7 those results. We are trying to tie everything back

8 to what the Tribes told us was important. And some

9 of the general comments on the curriculum side was,

10 included the need for more refresher courses, more

11 advanced courses, more hands-on-type training. And

12 if you've noticed this year, and particularly since

13 the springtime forward, we spent a lot of time in

14 our regional training offing courses like -- more IT

15 type courses, more advanced audited type courses.

16 We have also tried to include some

17 advanced courses and Nimish Purohit, who is our

18 Acting Director for Training and Technical

19 Assistance right now. He's also, as many of you

20 know, the gentleman who on our Game Technology

21 Training, and he is an amazing person to work with

22 this area. He's working on some advance courses to

23 offer too because there's been such high demand.

24 But we are going to do that in all areas, auditing

25 type courses.

1 We are also going to reconfigure our

2 course offerings to make a little more sense, so

3 that they are not just audit courses. That you

4 might be able to take those courses and combine them

5 with some enforcement type courses or some of the

6 legal type courses so that you gain more confidence

7 in that area. And that's one of the things that we

8 wanted to do to try to make again better use of your

9 time.

10 We -- owed. Catalog we also wanted to

11 look for ways to reduce redundancy so that we

12 weren't too many -- in duplicate or triplicate, to

13 better use our resources. And we are looking to do

14 that in a couple of different ways; through

15 cooperative efforts is one way. I need to

16 acknowledge very early on that some of the Tribes

17 have opened up their doors when they have asked for

18 individualized training, for us to come to them,

19 they have opened up their doors and said, We'll

20 allow other Tribes nearby in the area to come,

21 participate as well. And that does help, when

22 everybody is using it as well. And we are trying to

23 look at those more in collective ways so we can get

24 training out to areas that are remotely located, or

25 get to Tribes who don't have resources. One of
Capital Reporting Company

1 those ways is in partnerships with the Tribes

2 themselves, we believe. So that's one area that the

3 Tribes have absolutely cooperated with us. We are

4 also reaching out to federal agencies, gaming

5 associations, other experts in areas to bring into

6 our trainings as well.

7 The another thing I wanted to mention is

8 we are working very hard, as many of you know, our

9 web site is not necessarily real user friendly and

10 we have worked hard to try to get more information

11 up there, make it a useful tool for you, that

12 includes the training and the technical assistance

13 like this as well, trying to get more information

14 about what we are offering, where we are offing it,

15 to take advantage of technology, which is something

16 that we are a little behind in. That does include

17 trying to think outside the box, and whether there

18 are some things which our technology may be doing.

19 There may again be some partnerships that we can do

20 out there, to use technology to get these resources

21 out to the Tribes. And so if you will check the

22 website NIGC, I hope you will continue to see the

23 updating that we're doing. And that does include

24 updates to the catalog as well.

25 The only other thing that I wrote down to
Capital Reporting Company

Public Commission Meeting 07-18-2011

(866) 448 - DEPO

12

1 mention to you is, we do have a couple of events

2 coming up and I would like to share them with you,

3 that will be on the website. We have a training

4 coming up in Tulsa at the Hard Rock on the 26th of

5 this month through the 28th, and the talks to

6 include IT events, licensing, implementation and

7 service.

8 We also have a Regional Gaming -- policy

9 training in D.C. -- excuse me -- the D.C. Region at

10 Wind Creek Casino, and that's August 9 through the

11 11.

12 And then the last one that we have, put

13 out there as well, the St. Paul Region, this is at

14 Prairie Knights Casino, by Standing Rock Sioux, and

15 that is August 23rd through the 24th, and we will be

16 doing Audit Training, Title 31 Training as well, so,

17 you know, check the website for where we are offing

18 them. We know that some of you travel quite a bit

19 so if you can attend something here that's perhaps

20 in your travels, you might be able to attend in

21 those areas. You are certainly welcome -- welcome

22 whenever it is possible for you, so --

23 Madam Chairwoman, that's my update and

24 I'll turn it over to you.

25 CHAIRWOMAN STEVENS: Thank you, Vice

1 Chairwoman Cochran.

2 I do want to turn it now over to

3 Associate Commissioner Dan Little to talk about

4 Agency Operations Review.

5 THE WITNESS:

6 ASSOCIATE COMMISSIONER LITTLE: Okay.

7 Fun stuff.

8 During the course of last year the

9 Commission has been kind of forming a type of review

10 of the internal workings of the Commission. In an

11 effort to streamline the operations, come what more

12 transparent and smarter, and better provide services

13 to the Tribes. So over the course of the last year

14 we have found a number of areas and some of the

15 areas of problems we are looking at are, in

16 particularly are our general policies and procedures

17 for the staff. You know, some of the policies that

18 our staff needs in order to perform their jobs

19 effectively, have never been updated so the

20 Commission has gone through all those.

21 Some of the specific issues that are

22 going on on the staffing front. We are in the

23 process of adding field investigators for the

24 Phoenix region probably by the end of this month.

25 As many of you are aware, in 2006 the
Capital Reporting Company

Public Commission Meeting 07-18-2011

(866) 448 - DEPO

www.CapitalReportingCompany.com

© 2011

14

1 Native American Technical Corrections Act required

2 that the NIGC comply with GPAR, which is the

3 Government Performance and Results Act of 1993. As

4 a result soon after 2006 the Commission did put up

5 their strategic plan. We are in the process of

6 updating that and that should be up very shortly.

7 Another issue, as you may be aware, and we have

8 reported it in the past, the NIGC the headquarter's

9 office, the lease is coming due the end of -- or the

10 middle of 3013. We are still in the process of

11 looking for a place. Actually either relocate or

12 possibly negotiate staying in D.C. We are working

13 the GSA to insure that we are getting the best

14 price. You know, D.C. is so -- a difficult market

15 for a property and it's still not very cheap but we

16 are being very diligent. We started this process

17 very early to make sure that, you know, we do

18 negotiate the best deal. But we will report more

19 information on that when that becomes available. On

20 the technology front, as probably many of our

21 employees will attest, the NIGC is lacking when it

22 comes to IT in our internal system. We have got

23 remote offices. We have got our headquarters in

24 Washington, D.C. We have got Tribal access, you

25 know, for the Tribes to -- that, you know, utilize
Capital Reporting Company

Public Commission Meeting 07-18-2011

(866) 448 - DEPO

www.CapitalReportingCompany.com

15

1 the background information, so technology is very

2 important.

3 Now so on the training and technical

4 front, we are looking at different areas for, just

5 being, you know, more accessible for the Tribes so

6 -- one of the ways we have done that is, we have

7 tapped into -- you know, the fact that we are part

8 of the Department of the Interior and they have

9 spent millions and millions of dollars over the past

10 few years to upgrade their IT and technology areas

11 and we are looking to tap into that so stay tuned

12 for some updates on that coming soon.

13 And then the last thing I want to talk

14 about is that many -- you heard about the, the

15 Commission had solicited the support from the Office

16 of Policy and Management to do an organizational

17 assessment. Over the course of the last few months

18 they have been compiling data through employee

19 surveys and focus groups. The data is then

20 compiled. Their report is just about finalized and

21 that will be coming to the Commission real soon.

22 And the whole purpose of this is to, we want to make

23 sure that the Commission is organized properly, that

24 insures we are effective, eliminate stove pipes and

25 that there is good communication through all of our
Capital Reporting Company

Public Commission Meeting 07-18-2011

16

1 divisions and with the ultimate end result that we

2 are providing the services to the Tribes, and

3 secondly is -- you know, I never want to -- you

4 know, get an opportunity to talk about this. This

5 Commission is very, very aware that we don't receive

6 a federal appropriation, that our fees are provided

7 by the Tribes through a fee assessment so we want to

8 make sure we are good stewards with those funds, so

9 the organizational assessment will allow us to, you

10 know, look at our internal process and look for any

11 way to streamline and do our job in a leaner, more

12 efficient manner. That's all I have Madam

13 Chairwoman so thank you.

14 CHAIRWOMAN STEVENS: Thank you

15 Commissioner Little. Next I would like to go to the

16 Counsel to the Chair Report. Lael Echo-Hawk is

17 counselor to the chair and there's a number of

18 issues -- one major issue that she is in charge of,

19 it's the most -- probably unreal one of all which is

20 regulatory review. I know that many of you are

21 participating in our consultations, commenting as we

22 progress through this. Look at our regulations.

23 I'm sure that they are relevant, appropriate and how

24 we can best better protect the industry through

25 regulations. Then she will also comment on where we
Capital Reporting Company

Public Commission Meeting 07-18-2011

(866) 448 - DEPO

www.CapitalReportingCompany.com

© 2011

17

1 are at with our consultation policy, so I'll turn

2 over the microphone to Lael Echo-Hawk, Councilor to

3 the Chair.

4 MS. ECHO-HAWK: Thank you, Chairwoman.

5 Good morning. As you know I have been sort of

6 leading the charge on regulatory reviews, and as

7 most of the people in the audience know, we began

8 the process in November of last year when the

9 Commission issued a Notice of Inquiry asking Tribes

10 to comment on what particular regulations or issues

11 they thought are regulatory structure that they need

12 to be reviewed by the Commission. As the comments

13 came in and we summarized them, there were about 21

14 potential issues that were identified by Tribes

15 either in the form of amending regulations, current

16 regulations or potentially creating new regulation.

17 In April of this year the Commission

18 issued a regulatory review agenda and identified 33

19 consultations, beginning in April of this year and

20 continuing to February of next year. We, the

21 Commission, identified again those 21 current

22 regulations or potential regulations that could be

23 new regulations or potentially amended or created.

24 Currently we have several regulations

25 online posted as discussion drafts. Those are Fee

1 Regulations, Part 514. Written comments on that

2 discussion draft closed on May 31st of this year.

3 The Facility Licensing Regulation, Part

4 559, comments on that, the discussion draft closed

5 on June 17 of this year.

6 The Enforcement Regulation discussion

7 draft went up on June 28 of this year and written

8 comments closed August 9.

9 The pilot program as to background and

10 licensing regulations, Part 556 and 550 and 558, all

11 were posted online July 7, 2011, written comments

12 for those discussion drafts closed on August 10.

13 Background investigations, regulation

14 Part 557 and Commission Regulation 551 also on the

15 28th of June, again written comments closed on that

16 discussion draft closes on August 9, so in a couple

17 of weeks.

18 We are anticipating that the Appeals

19 section before the Commission, that those discussion

20 drafts will be posted by the end of this week.

21 Again all those regulations can be found on our

22 website, and you can contact the region that issue

23 those to you as well. These are discussion drafts

24 only and so we'll take comments on those issues.

25 We currently just completed other ninth
Capital Reporting Company

Public Commission Meeting 07-18-2011

(866) 448 - DEPO

www.CapitalReportingCompany.com

© 2011

19

1 consultation on these regulations and on Wednesday

2 we have our tenth consultation in Albuquerque, on

3 Wednesday and Thursday of this week, and then next

4 week we have consultations also in D.C. Those are

5 the next two upcoming consultations that have been

6 identified by the regulatory review agenda.

7 So that's the update on where we are at

8 with the regulations, regulation review. And I will

9 move into the consultation, agenda consultation.

10 Are there any questions? No questions.

11 Okay. One of the duties by the

12 Commission was to review the consultation policy,

13 make sure that we are in line with the protective

14 order, we want to identify, and the Commission did

15 that earlier this year, and published a special

16 draft consultation policy earlier this year.

17 Written comments on that policy closed on May 31st.

18 The Commission is taking a look at that policy and

19 the comments that we received and we will be working

20 again on a draft and final policy to be put out

21 later on this year.

22 Thank you.

23 CHAIRWOMAN STEVENS: Thank you, Lael. I

24 do want to say that on the consultation policy, we

25 will need to build in time, at a point where we
Capital Reporting Company

Public Commission Meeting 07-18-2011

(866) 448 - DEPO

www.CapitalReportingCompany.com

© 2011

20

1 adopt a new consultation policy. The reason is that

2 we do need to make sure that our staff and our

3 assistants workload within the agency, that we are

4 writing the consultation policy as we lay down the

5 terms of its structure and how we come up with the

6 information, so along with the adopted policy, the

7 effective date may be pushed out while we reorganize

8 the work flow within our office.

9 The next thing we would like to talk

10 about is the Tribal Gaming Report 2010. This report

11 goes out every year by the Commission getting

12 aggregate information on Indian gaming revenues and

13 I'll turn it over to Associate Commissioner Dan

14 Little to talk about this report. And you will be

15 able to see that here in a moment. So you can see

16 up on the Power Point here and I'll turn it over to

17 Dan.

18 ASSOCIATE COMMISSIONER LITTLE: Okay.

19 Thank you Madam Chairwoman.

20 Each year the Commission releases

21 industry growth gaming data. And this is done

22 through the 422 independent audit financial

23 statements that the Commission has received from 236

24 gaming tribes. Now you can see from the Power Point

25 the figures for 2010 26 -- 25 billion dollars. And

1 that is exactly the same number as in 2009. It

2 shows some stability in the industry.

3 You can go to the next slide.

4 We have geographically by the NIGC

5 regions. Now as you can see, and it's also on the

6 next slide too. Most all these will be posted on

7 our website because I don't think there's any

8 hand-outs in the back. But, you know, you can see

9 that the economy has had a -- has posed some

10 challenges for the industry overall. It's done, you

11 know, fairly well. We have got some areas of growth

12 on the last slide here. In, Oklahoma, Portland

13 Tulsa has done well. We do still see some

14 challenges in Sacramento and Phoenix but they are

15 improving as far as 2009 numbers. So overall I

16 think the industry is doing, you know, fairly well

17 considering the economy, and like I said, this

18 information will be posted on the website so you can

19 access it later today. Do you have any questions?

20 CHAIRWOMAN STEVENS: Thank you, Dan. And

21 as he said, we will have this posted. This is

22 normal course of business for the agency, to post

23 those captured numbers based on reports that are

24 submitted us to and they are aggregated and are

25 collected for the regions. We not release

1 individual tribal numbers. These are aggregates for

2 the regions, and good to see the stability of the

3 industry.

4 The last thing on our agenda today is

5 Public Comment. And if I could ask one of the staff

6 people to bring the -- the list of individuals that

7 have signed up to make public comment. I just want

8 to say that this is intended for individuals to make

9 brief statements to the Commission, it's part of our

10 facts on current issues, within the jurisdiction of

11 NIGC. It's not intended to be an open forum for

12 public debate. It's an opportunity for the public

13 to make comments to us over this area for any

14 matters that are regulatory.

15 We may or may not choose to address the

16 issues, may or may not ask clarifying questions to

17 the commentary.

18 Again, we have a sign up sheet, and --

19 now, we have some microphones, you don't have to

20 come up to the table, we'll bring the microphone to

21 you. I have a list of individuals here and we'll

22 start at the top. Please state your name,

23 organization of record before making your

24 statements.

2 STAFF PERSON: He's going to wait.

3 CHAIRWOMAN STEVENS: I'm sorry?

4 STAFF PERSON: He's going to wait.

5 CHAIRWOMAN STEVENS: Okay. And then Beth

6 Parker, Wichita Tribe. No Beth Parker?

7 Yeah, I know that there was some

8 confusion about what the intent of this sheet was,

9 we tried to clarify that when you came in. It's

10 only for public comments to be made. I saw lots of

11 names crossed off once it was found out this was the

12 microphone sheet.

13 MR. STEVE YORK: I'm Steve York, I'm with

14 the Fort Sill Apache Gaming Commission and the

15 Executive Director of the Apache Gaming Commission.

16 I'm waiting for my friend to bring my

17 notes in but I'm going to submit my stuff to you in

18 writing because I have basically nine questions,

19 mainly dealing with some of the personnel in the

20 NIGC.

21 Currently the NRCS has twelve to fourteen

22 positions that are vacate. I think some of the

23 crucial positions are, the ones that I'm concerned

24 with, I think Indian Tribes are concerned with are

25 the field investigators and the auditors that's
Capital Reporting Company

Public Commission Meeting 07-18-2011

(866) 448 - DEPO

24

1 currently vacate.

2 Back in April of 2010 the National Indian

3 Gaming Commission advertised five field

4 investigators positions. Of those five only one was

5 filled. And I think that individual went to

6 St. Paul -- Minneapolis-St. Paul region. And since

7 then no other field investigators have been put on

8 staff.

9 Now let me tell you what my basic

10 concerns are. When you have twelve to fourteen

11 positions vacate, currently vacate in the NRCS, the

12 problem is is I look at it that you have about ten

13 to twelve percent of your staffing that's vacate.

14 And the only thing I'm saying is, is something needs

15 to be explained to us. Like, say you have got all

16 the figures and stuff up there and all, June the

17 30th you passed your .00074 again, which I

18 congratulate you on because the law says .0080 is

19 the max, so -- but I'm currently worried about our

20 budgeting process.

21 And the other thing is that us as Tribes,

22 last year you did eight consultations. In my search

23 of the budget I couldn't see anything budgeted for

24 those eight consultation sessions. And this year we

25 are projecting 33 consultation sessions and I've
Capital Reporting Company

Public Commission Meeting 07-18-2011

(866) 448 - DEPO

www.CapitalReportingCompany.com

25

1 still not seen anything budgeted for it. And the

2 other problem I have is -- towards the end, like I

3 say, I'm going to submit my written comments to you

4 on this issue. But the other one is is that, my

5 understanding is that 1441 Elm Street is fixing to

6 be moved to some other location, and I want to see

7 what kind of budget is put in place for that. I

8 don't know whether you are using these vacated

9 positions in order to fund that move or what you're

10 doing, but like I say, I'm just going by what you

11 put out in your statement, that you want to be

12 accountable, transparent to Tribes, and so that's

13 reason I'm asking you some of these hard questions

14 that need to be answered or addressed to the Tribes

15 out there, showing what the NIGC is actually doing

16 for the Tribes out there that actually fund the

17 Commission to do the job of regulating the Indian

18 gaming, or being our peers to regulate Indian

19 gaming.

20 But I will submit those written comments

21 to you, Chairperson Stevens, as soon as -- as soon

22 as the person that -- my printer ink went out on my

23 printer at home so I had to sent it to another

24 location. I had them bring it so I could present it

25 to you. But I appreciate your time.

1 CHAIRWOMAN STEVENS: Thank you. Thank

2 you, Mr. York. Just so everybody knows, we look

3 forward to your submission. Yes, there were some

4 vacancies that were advertised prior to my arrival,

5 which was April of 2010. I arrived in July 2010.

6 As Dan was discussing, we are undergoing a review of

7 our efficiencies in operations at the agency by the

8 Office of Personnel Management, OPM. They are sort

9 of the HR for the federal government, and we wanted

10 to make sure that we had a full understanding of how

11 the work flow goes through the agency, and insuring

12 that we had put out the correct number of

13 advertisements, either for field investigators or

14 for audit positions. Those vacancies are not

15 intended to be funded by the move. The move -- our

16 lease expires in our current building in 2013. We

17 are looking. We have to work first with GSA,

18 Government Services Administration -- General

19 Services Administration, another arm of the federal

20 government by which we must abide. We are under

21 negotiations with the building that we are currently

22 in. Whether or not they are going to be asking to

23 renew that lease or we're going to have to look for

24 new space.

25 We do need to do a lot of planning for
Capital Reporting Company

27

1 that even though it's two years from now. And, you

2 know, those two items in particular, the rest of the

3 federal government is looking at their staffing

4 levels, they are looking at how they operate, what

5 their efficiencies are like, since we have been

6 mandated by the president through an executive

7 order, so we are glad to say we are on board with

8 the administration in terms of looking for

9 opportunities to streamline and make more efficient

10 government. And we do plan on, you know, showing

11 our homework basically in terms of budget.

12 I know you mentioned looking at the

13 budget. And we have come into -- when we came into

14 the agency we identified immediately that we needed

15 to revamp our process and make it more available.

16 We are still in that process. It's not currently

17 available but we are looking at ways to organize our

18 budget and the process that we create our budget and

19 our involve our regions in that budget. We all come

20 from Tribes. We all have our feet held to the fire

21 by our tribal councils, and we are -- you know, I'm

22 responsible for the Commission and I work for a

23 casino, and, you know, we want to -- we bring with

24 us some I think fairly good background on

25 management, organization, leadership and budgeting,

1 so we are still in the process right now and as we

2 hone basically these budget processes down into

3 something that's streamline and clear, we certainly

4 will be sharing that information. And I just think

5 in response to some of your inquiries to answer

6 those on the record.

7 Dan or Steffani, do you want to add

8 anything?

9 I appreciate that anybody that looks at

10 our budget, besides us, for the process that we come

11 into, as you know looking at the budget it is not

12 detailed in the manner that perhaps it should be. I

13 know this is something that the Chairwoman is

14 committed to also, is making sure that our systems

15 are in place, our budgeting systems reflect the

16 agency's activities, and that's an ongoing process

17 we are very committed to so I appreciate anybody

18 that looking at it other than the agency so ...

19 I do want to add that, again I want to

20 remind everybody that we do not receive federal

21 appropriations to the budgeting process. We are not

22 part of the mass system which basically the

23 budgeting and accounting system of the federal

24 government because we don't get those

25 appropriations, we are funded entirely as an

1 independent agency by those that we regulate. That

2 would be you. So what you see in Greenbooks, and

3 the Greenbook, you know, is information that

4 Interior and, you know, OMB, Office of Management

5 and Budget.

6 I want to talk about revamping our

7 systems and then contribute it for transparency.

8 That's what we are working on is, we are doing ad

9 runs and doing additional budget systems that are

10 outside of what you might see in public because of

11 where we are, our position, and where we stand in

12 our budget process, and make those available as we

13 develop them, just so you know.

14 Now, did Bet Parker come back in or did

15 she intend to make a public comment?

16 STAFF PERSON: She does not have any

17 comments.

18 CHAIRWOMAN STEVENS: Okay. Thank you.

19 MR. STEVE YORK: Yes. I mean, like I

20 say, I've got my questions on my written comments

21 that I want to provide to you. I mean, I could

22 either send it to you by e-mail but there are some

23 other questions and stuff. One of the questions is,

24 along with the twelve, fourteen positions is the --

25 let's see the positions that are vacate are the
Capital Reporting Company

Public Commission Meeting 07-18-2011

1 Director of Audit. There's a financial analysis

2 position that has been vacated. There's, what, two

3 senior staff attorneys. Mike Gross left sometime

4 around June. And then I think you have one senior

5 staff attorney that's on a detail to DOI. And then

6 the major question is, you put on staff Ms. Lael

7 Echo-Hawk, I guess the counselor, and my question

8 is, what grade level is she? You know, whether

9 she's a senior executive service grant level or

10 GS-15? And I'm not asking that question for just

11 the mere fact that I want to put it out there but,

12 you know, you guys get money on your fee schedule

13 from us to run the operation, so alls I'm asking for

14 is for somebody to tell us, you know, what kind of

15 deal is it? Like I say, your budget, I can't see it

16 in the budget so that's -- that's the reason I'm

17 asking.

18 And then the other position that is

19 created is the Deputy Chief of Staff position, and I

20 didn't see any budget in that, and I didn't see

21 anything in your work charts for those positions.

22 So that -- them are questions I think ought to rise

23 up. They probably don't spend the time to study

24 your budget but I'm one that does. So I'm trying to

25 present those to you.

1 Like I say, I don't expect you to give me

2 an answer just like you made in your statement, but

3 I expect the transparency and accountability to take

4 place just like you made in your statement to us

5 when you put out this consultation study. That's

6 all I'm after. So -- I mean, I can go into further

7 discussion with you, I don't mind talking here, but,

8 you know, it's something I think a lot of Tribes

9 should be curious about, of how you actually manage

10 the budget.

11 Now, you did make a statement that you

12 started in July. Mr. Little said he started in

13 April so, well, to me the budgeting process, even un

14 GAAP you're supposed to submit a five-year plan so

15 that these items in there should be known in your

16 yearly budget but they should be projected

17 underneath GAAP or to somebody that's reviewing what

18 you guys do as an organization.

19 That's, like I say, them are off the cuff

20 kind of remarks too. But like I say, I will submit

21 written comments to you. Thank you.

22 CHAIRWOMAN STEVENS: All right. Thank

23 you. We look forward to your comments and

24 questions.

25 Are there any others that want to make

1 public comment? Yes. Mr. Green. It's on its way

2 down.

3 MR. JESS GREEN: Will there be any

4 discussions about the formation of a new NIGC

5 government committee to review any purposed

6 regulatory changes?

7 CHAIRWOMAN STEVENS: Do you mean like a

8 Tribal Advisory Committee? Is that what you mean?

9 MR. JESS GREEN: Yes, an impact type, a

10 similar joint committee to develop, to speed the

11 review on?

12 CHAIRWOMAN STEVENS: Well, I appreciation

13 that question and when we were in the comments it

14 came clear, we kept hearing, not just at the

15 consultations recently but through the NOI, and the

16 comments we received on the notice of inquiry, NOI,

17 that Tribes were really looking to get an advisory

18 committee back in order. We had heard plenty of

19 perspectives from Tribes on how previous advisory

20 committees operated, what their outcomes were, the

21 local dissatisfaction from Tribes, the relevancy

22 really of the product now today of those committees

23 and really the desire to reach the concept of -- in

24 a committee that represented -- that's repetitive of

25 Indian Country working in the agency to move

1 something really more detailed, regulations like

2 internal control standards, control standards down

3 in the field. Right now we have them in groups. If

4 you look at the notes in the regulatory review, what

5 became clear to me what some of the Tribes were

6 looking for and have the desire to have an advisory

7 committee. We are thinking and taking in comments

8 about past committees. And that helps inform us.

9 You should know your past before you move forward.

10 What worked and what didn't work. So we are taking

11 in comments, gathering information and asking

12 questions at consultations on how we should make up

13 an advisory committee. And running parallel tracks

14 so in fact we can get to some completion with

15 regulations that have been sitting on the front

16 burner for years, seven years.

17 We recognize the need to bring some

18 finality to those because mean while they are

19 sitting on the burner, even on the front burner,

20 even on the back burner, and as time has gone by

21 things have changed which have called into question

22 the relevancy of those regs. But the desire to get

23 those done because in the mean time you all are

24 without certainty how to run your operation, to

25 regulate your operations and bring what has been an
Capital Reporting Company

34

1 ongoing endeavor about seven years, to some finality

2 and some plan on how to manage changes in the

3 future. So we are taking in comments from Tribes.

4 But we are now pointedly asking during our

5 consultations about the regulations, how they should

6 be made up. You know, are Tribes okay with the

7 concept of only making some technical standards to

8 one side and sending it down a parallel track while

9 the other -- all the others, they all talk about

10 maybe move on separate tracks because those seem to

11 be less onerous. A little easier. Very heavily

12 detailed technical standards. And so we will be

13 asking those questions in Albuquerque, we'll be

14 asking them in D.C. next week, and at some point

15 we'll be informed enough to reach out to Tribes on

16 what the, you know, what processes there will be to

17 form the committee. And we do -- we're -- as we

18 reach that point we'll inform Tribes of, you know,

19 what the time line will be, you know, how we will

20 proceed.

21 So does that help answer your question?

22 We are considering it because the Tribes want us to,

23 and we are thinking about how we can put it together

24 and we'll let you know once we have it altogether,

25 probably in the next couple of weeks.

1 MR. JESS GREEN: The timeline issue was

2 my only thing. So you're thinking by the time you

3 complete your D.C. meeting you'll have some idea,

4 you'll make time in that week -- announce it within

5 a week or so on any rulings about nominations you're

6 going to accept and turn around in time to make

7 selections?

8 CHAIRWOMAN STEVENS: Yes.

9 MR. JESS GREEN: We are looking at three

10 weeks though at sometime and we'll have one or two

11 tribal groups together?

12 CHAIRWOMAN STEVENS: Yeah. We'll --

13 we'll have ours within a couple of weeks, actually

14 two or three weeks we'll be able to give information

15 about what process we are going to go undertake, how

16 we will gather members of the committee to Tribes,

17 and some time frames. And my hope is that we can

18 have a lot of the work ready to go for the advisory

19 committee so we can save ourselves some time and,

20 you know, basically get under way as soon as they

21 hammer out the ground rules and other things, we're

22 going to have to. But we feel it's probably the

23 best that we can do, is have the members there

24 rather than having an ad hoc group where there's a

25 lot of people who aren't in charge or having, you

1 know, one person who's in charge start making all

2 the decisions.

3 MR. JESS GREEN: I've been in one meeting

4 where it was three strikes and you're out.

5 In order for the Oklahoma area to be on

6 its toes we should be watching your website then at

7 the first of the month, sometime within the next ten

8 days, first of the month, there will be some kind of

9 announcement on your website that will tell us how

10 the committee is going to be formed, how quickly

11 it's going to be formed and how many meetings there

12 are going to be? Would that be accurate?

13 CHAIRWOMAN STEVENS: Yes. We will be

14 sending down some guidelines on how we are going to

15 select, the time frames. They are working on how

16 long they'll need. Yes. Give us three weeks.

17 MR. JESS GREEN: Previous committees have

18 gone from excluding people that were on the

19 committees, making them leave the room, to allowing

20 people be in the room, to finally allowing them to

21 be in the room at the conclusion of the meeting. Do

22 you have any concept about those of us, for instance

23 we've got an executive director of the Oklahoma

24 Indian Gaming Commission that I think might be

25 available to at least observe. A number of gaming

1 commissioners would like to go that are not members

2 and watch, and then some of us legal counsel are

3 sent to monitor. Do you have any concept about

4 whether or not we would be welcome at any of those

5 types of meetings?

6 CHAIRWOMAN STEVENS: We have heard from

7 Tribes what has and hasn't worked in previous

8 commission meetings and we want to learn from that.

9 One of the things we would like to do is make as

10 well informed decisions as we can. There are parts

11 of these regulations that are very -- you know, you

12 have to be an expert in these areas, and, you know,

13 whether it's IT, machine operations, you know,

14 accounting. We want to figure that out and build on

15 that kinds of things where we can be informed, and

16 we are talking about that internally so that I would

17 imagine there's going to be someway to do that, we

18 just don't know how that is yet, to bring people

19 into inform, to allow people to bring in whoever

20 they might be, and they have somebody that works

21 --they work with who's an expert in a field, you

22 know, what access would they have? So in a

23 nutshell, yes, are not going to be shoving people

24 out. We're talking about how we can include and how

25 this can be an inclusive process. It's just going
