 (Meeting called to order at


 10:10 a.m.) 
MR. BURGESS: We'll call to order 
here. Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for being 
here. We will recess at 11:00 a.m. so that we all 
can attend the funeral service here for a tribal 
member and work family, Mrs. Pewewardy, and 
grandchild. So at this time, Mr. Tippeconnie, 
would you take roll?


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: Michael Burgess? 
MR. BURGESS: Here. 
MR. TIPPECONNIE: Richard Henson?


 Robert Tippeconnie, here. Ronald RedElk? 
MR. REDELK: Here. 
MR. TIPPECONNIE: Mark Wauahdooah? 
MR. WAUAHDOOAH: Here. 
MR. TIPPECONNIE: Darrell

MR. KOSECHEQUETAH: Here. 
MR. TIPPECONNIE: Clyde Narcomey? 
MR. NARCOMEY: Here. 
MR. TIPPECONNIE: We have a quorum,


 Mr. Chairman. 
MR. BURGESS: Would you stand with me 
for an invocation? 



CBC 10-9-10 - October 9, 2010 

 (Invocation.)


 MR. BURGESS: Fellas, if y'all need a 
few more minutes to check the minutes. Any 
corrections?


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: I'd like to add one 
thing to the agenda. Is that appropriate at this 
moment?


 MR. BURGESS: Let's go down to the 
minutes. We need to make a motion to approve or 
table. Gentlemen, anything to add to the minutes 
or corrections to make? Any name misspelled? 
Probably not by now. I'll take a motion to 
approve the minutes.


 MR. NARCOMEY: Make that motion, 
Mr. Chairman.


 MR. BURGESS: Motion made by Clyde, 
ladies and gentlemen, to approve the minutes of 
the last meeting. Second?


 MR. WAUAHDOOAH: I'll second that 
motion, Mr. Chairman.


 MR. BURGESS: Second by Mark 
Wauahdooah. All those in favor signify by saying 
"aye".


 (Aye.)


 MR. BURGESS: All those opposed, same 



CBC 10-9-10 - October 9, 2010 

 sign. All those abstain, same sign.


 Now, Mr. Tippeconnie, if you wanted 
to amend the agenda.


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: Yes, I'd like to 
add one additional resolution. Let me find my 
agenda here. It will be Number 147. It will be 
acquisition, land acquisition of Mullen, 
M-U-L-L-E-N.


 MR. BURGESS: Mullen land 
acquisition?


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: Yes.


 MR. BURGESS: Have you got a watch 
on, Mark?


 MR. WAUAHDOOAH: Yes, it's 10:17.


 MR. BURGESS: Keep an eye on the time 
so we can adjourn. Resolution Number 147-10 will 
be added under Resolution 146-10 when we come to 
that time frame, gentlemen. Any other 
amendments?


 MR. WAUAHDOOAH: I have a question. 
Is there any information regarding the water well 
arsenic thing?


 MR. BURGESS: Yes. Are you talking 
about the development of that tool?


 MR. WAUAHDOOAH: Yes. Any discussion 



CBC 10-9-10 - October 9, 2010 

 on here?


 MR. BURGESS: No, not at this time. 
We're waiting until the fiscal year. That would 
come under new business. We may not get to that 
area of new business until the next meeting date. 
We've got all these resolutions here. With that 
being said, motion to amend the agenda is made by 
Mr. Tippeconnie.


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: I might say one 
thing. It's clear.


 MR. BURGESS: Second to amend the 
agenda?


 MR. KOSECHEQUETAH: I second the 
motion to amend the agenda.


 MR. BURGESS: All those in favor 
signify by saying "aye".


 (Aye.)


 MR. BURGESS: All those opposed, same 
sign. All those abstain, same sign. The ayes 
have it.


 Leading off with Enrollment 
Resolution Number 130-10, this gentleman has 
applied for membership to the tribe and was 
determined to be ineligible. He does not meet all 
the criteria for the nation's constitutional 



CBC 10-9-10 - October 9, 2010 

 membership requirements. He's not a direct 
descendant of an original allottee.


 MR. NARCOMEY: Mr. Chairman, I make a 
motion to approve Resolution Number 130-10.


 MR. BURGESS: Motion's been made by 
Mr. Narcomey.


 MR. WAUAHDOOAH: I second that 
motion.


 MR. BURGESS: Second by Mr. Mark 
Wahadooah. All those in favor signify by saying 
"aye".


 (Aye.)


 MR. BURGESS: All those opposed, same 
sign. All those abstain, same sign. The ayes 
have it.


 Resolution 131-10. This is a list of 
eligibles, meeting all the criteria. Entertain a 
motion to accept these new members.


 MR. WAUAHDOOAH: Mr. Chairman, I'll 
make that motion.


 MR. BURGESS: Motion made by 
Mr. Wahadooah. Second, please?


 MR. NARCOMEY: Second.


 MR. BURGESS: Mr. Clyde Narcomey 
seconds. All those in favor signify by saying 



CBC 10-9-10 - October 9, 2010 

 "aye".


 (Aye.)


 MR. BURGESS: All those opposed, same 
sign. All those abstain, same sign. The ayes 
have it.


 MS. ATTOCKNIE: How many new members 
do we have?


 MR. BURGESS: Eighteen.


 MS. ATTOCKNIE: Eighteen?


 MR. BURGESS: Prior to that we had a 
membership of 15,000, somewhere around 15,028 
members now. We're growing.


 We have a resolution here, 132-10. 
This is a list of prices to be charged for making 
duplicate copies of documentation for birth 
certificates, applications, and repeats of those. 
We get a lot of folks who come and get a copy this 
week of forms, and they come back next week and 
want more copies of the same forms, and so it's 
getting very expensive for us and our office. 
Enrollment office has done a survey of other 
tribes and how they account for that. We're 
charging the most minimum that we run into for 
tribal members who come back the second or third 
time wanting copies of the same documents, so we 



CBC 10-9-10 - October 9, 2010 

 felt that it's only right that some of the cost be 
born. Because man, ladies and gentlemen, the 
price of everything is going up. So we have to do 
something to maintain control of our costs.


 MR. WAUAHDOOAH: Mr. Chairman, I make 
a motion that we accept this motion.


 MR. NARCOMEY: I second, 
Mr. Chairman. Good idea.


 MR. BURGESS: Motion by 
Mr. Wauahdooah, second by Mr. Narcomey.


 MR. WAUAHDOOAH: I make a note that 
there's a pricing list on the Post-It on the 
office, the enrollment office of what's free, 
what's not free.


 MS. ATTOCKNIE: Will that apply to 
all offices, because we do all get requests?


 MR. BURGESS: This is just enrollment 
right now. If it gets to be exorbitant again, we 
may have to. A note here, tribal ID cards for 
elders and disabled are one free a year. 
Replacement cost is $5 if it's lost or stolen. 
Tribal ID cards for members under age 62 is $5. 
The same way with lost employee cards. We have to 
pay for our employee cards if it's lost. But 
there is a list here and these are, again, 



CBC 10-9-10 - October 9, 2010 

 generated on other tribes and what they're 
charging. So this will be posted on their door at 
enrollment, most likely posted out in the hallway 
by the main office of administration.


 UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: So 
Mr. Chairman, there's not an increase, just the 
$5?


 MR. BURGESS: Yeah, there's no 
increase. Just listing it, because we get people 
who list their birth records, birth certificates 
here. They'll come back one week and get a copy 
and come back another week and get two more 
copies, and it's costing us money.


 MS. ATTOCKNIE: We should post that 
in the newsletter as well for the public.


 MR. KOSECHEQUETAH: And it should be 
on the Website, as well.


 MR. WAUAHDOOAH: Mr. Chairman, I call 
for the vote.


 MR. BURGESS: Motion's been made and 
seconded by Mr. Narcomey here for correction made. 
It's not enrollment list, it's just enrollment 
office fees, I'll say.


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: Yes, office fees.


 MR. BURGESS: All those in favor 



CBC 10-9-10 - October 9, 2010 

 signify by saying "aye".


 (Aye.)


 MR. BURGESS: All those opposed, same 
sign. All those abstain, same sign. The ayes 
have it.


 The next resolution is Number 
133-10. It's a resolution accepting the list of 
Comanche Tribal members that are considered elders 
with the data received by our enrollment 
department. These are elders that will be listed 
to receive their elder assisted payments this 
year. It's a verification of eligibility for all 
members as of December 31st of this year, which is 
what we do every year, January 1 to December 31st.


 MR. NARCOMEY: Mr. Chairman, I make a 
motion we approve that Resolution 133-10, since we 
do that every year. Do we have any idea how many 
elders will be added?


 MR. BURGESS: I heard there was 28 
added to last year's list, but we don't know how 
many passed away.


 MR. NARCOMEY: We do it every year, 
so I make that motion to approve.


 MR. KOSECHEQUETAH: I second that, 
Mr. Chairman. 



CBC 10-9-10 - October 9, 2010 

 MR. BURGESS: Second by Darrell. All 
those in favor signify by saying "aye".


 (Aye.)


 MR. BURGESS: All those opposed, same 
sign. All those abstain, same sign. Motion 
passes. I should say the resolution passes.


 Moving over to Resolution 134-10. 
The resolution authorizes to recontract with 
social services program by BIA. That is to expire 
soon, so we have to pass this resolution to get it 
in. Proposed term of the multi-year contract is 
from January 1, 2011, and December 31st, 2013. 
Direct services will be provided under this 
contract for general assistance, child and adult 
assistance, out of our social services department.


 MR. WAUAHDOOAH: Mr. Chairman, I 
support this resolution. But I want to add that 
we encourage the social services to spend the 
federal funds first rather than the Comanche 
Nation gaming funds, as they have been. I do 
support this.


 MR. BURGESS: Motion's made by 
Mr. Wauahdooah. Second?


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: Make that 
correction on the term there. Shall be "from" -



CBC 10-9-10 - October 9, 2010 

 MR. BURGESS: The second-to-last 
whereas?


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: Yeah.


 MR. BURGESS: The proposed term of 
the multi-year contract shall be "from", not 
"form", January 1, 2011, to December 31st, 2013. 
Second, please?


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: I'll second it.


 MR. BURGESS: Might add, Mark, that 
recently we passed that resolution which states 
that the programs cannot spend tribal funds at a 
more -- I'll just say at a faster rate than they 
do the federal funds. They have to be on par on a 
monthly basis. So that's been helping us to see 
that they stick to the same budget. If they have 
a federal grant, they stick to that as well.


 MR. NARCOMEY: We need to reprimand 
them if they don't.


 MR. BURGESS: Oh, yes. They've been 
reminded. All those in favor signify by saying 
"aye".


 (Aye.)


 MR. BURGESS: All those opposed, same 
sign. All those abstain, same sign. The ayes 
have it. 



CBC 10-9-10 - October 9, 2010 

 MR. TIPPECONNIE: I have to make 
mention on the last there. In some of these 
contracts, because we've been high risk and we've 
yet to be removed, and I think we should be 
shortly I hope, that we have to spend, you know, 
our CNG monies up front and then we're 
reimbursed -


 MR. BURGESS: Then we get 
reimbursed.


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: -- our contract.


 MR. BURGESS: One of the recent 
agencies was at a loss as to how we're paying 
that. I explained to them that we pay it up front 
and then we get reimbursed for our expenses, so 
it's accounted for twice as opposed to once.


 Next resolution is 135-10, the KCA 
Intertribal Land Use Committee, KCA. This is 
directing the special trustees of BIA to authorize 
investment of funds for the KCA on behalf of the 
KCA. This is to invest 100 percent of account 
balances of proceeds of oil and gas account, and 
proceeds of the labor account, which is actual 
operating account for KCA, into what the Bureau 
calls a long-term investment strategy. This means 
that it's going to go from earning .01 percent 



CBC 10-9-10 - October 9, 2010 

 interest to approximately .5 percent interest.


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: Or .1.


 MR. BURGESS: Hopefully .1.


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: I wish it was -


 MR. BURGESS: Well, they're saying 
that's what it is now, but based on the economy, 
it may go up.


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: It may go up.


 MR. BURGESS: This is the best they 
can offer under long-term strategy. It somewhat 
means that they invest in three years instead of 
one year or overnight certificates. So a one-year 
certificate is a lot better than overnighters, as 
they call them. So motion to approve, please?


 MR. KOSECHEQUETAH: I'll make that 
motion, Mr. Chairman.


 MR. BURGESS: Motion made by Darrell 
Kosechequetah.


 MR. NARCOMEY: Second, Mr. Chairman.


 MR. BURGESS: Second by 
Mr. Narcomey. All those in favor signify by 
saying "aye".


 (Aye.)


 MR. BURGESS: All those opposed, same 
sign. All those abstain, same sign. The ayes 



CBC 10-9-10 - October 9, 2010 

 have it.


 Resolution 136-10. This resolution 
states that the CBC is the duly-elected official 
body designated to conduct business for and on 
behalf of the Comanche Nation; and


 Whereas, the Comanche Nation wishes 
to become a member Indian/Native Government in 
good standing of the NCAI; and


 Whereas, the Comanche Nation meets 
all requirement for tribal membership, pursuant to 
Article 11, Section 2A of the Constitution and 
Bylaws of the NCAI.


 Now therefore be it resolved that the 
Comanche Nation, which is the official governing 
body of the above-named nation, hereby authorizes 
Michael Burgess, who is the official principal 
tribal official, to take the necessary action to 
place the nation in membership in NCAI; and


 Be it further resolved, that tribal 
funds in the amount of $5,000 -


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: That should be 15.


 MR. BURGESS: Fifteen based on 
enrollment membership, ladies and gentlemen.


 Be it further resolved that tribal 
funds in the amount of $15,000, based on the 



CBC 10-9-10 - October 9, 2010 

 tribal membership dues schedule in the NCAI 
bylaws, Article III, Section 3B, are authorized to 
be paid for membership in NCAI.


 And there's another correction.


 Be it further resolved, that based on 
tribal citizenry of 15,000 plus people, the nation 
shall have 180 votes, in accordance with Article 
II, Section 6C of the NCAI Constitution; and


 Be it finally resolved, that pursuant 
to Article III, Section 2 of the NCAI 
Constitution, the nation designates the following 
persons as delegates and alternate delegates on an 
annual basis, and instructs them to become 
individual members in good standing in NCAI in 
order to fulfill their responsibilities as 
official delegates to the NCAI annual convention, 
midyear conference, and executive council 
meetings.


 The delegates are Michael Burgess, 
alternate Richard Henson, alternate Robert 
Tippeconnie, alternate Ronald RedElk, alternate 
Marcellus Wauahdooah, alternate Darrell 
Kosechequetah, alternate Clyde Narcomey.


 Once this resolution is approved, 
gentlemen, we all sign off on the original 



CBC 10-9-10 - October 9, 2010 

 resolution.


 MR. NARCOMEY: So it's 15,000 instead 
of 5,000, is that -


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: It's 15. It's 
based upon our membership. It's an annual fee.


 MR. NARCOMEY: I make a motion to 
approve.


 MR. WAUAHDOOAH: I second that 
motion, Mr. Chairman.


 MR. BURGESS: Second by Mr. Mark 
Wauahdooah. All those in favor signify by saying 
"aye".


 (Aye.)


 MR. BURGESS: All those opposed, same 
sign. All those abstain, same sign. The ayes 
have it.


 MS. ATTOCKNIE: The midyear 
conference this year will be in November, the week 
of the 14th, I believe, in Albuquerque.


 MR. BURGESS: Yes.


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: Yes.


 MS. ATTOCKNIE: I'm going to go.


 MR. BURGESS: And at that same time, 
Vern, I think they're going to have the agenda. I 
have a letter here from DOJ. They're going to 



CBC 10-9-10 - October 9, 2010 

 have some kind of consultation going with DOJ, law 
enforcement, and tribal leadership between the 
14th and 19th.


 MR. GRIFFIN: It's on the 20th.


 MR. BURGESS: It's on the 20th, 
November 20th? So you'll probably have to reach 
into your account there and set up travel to 
attend that as well.


 MR. GRIFFIN: Okay.


 MR. BURGESS: Motion is passed.


 Resolution 137-10. Bob, you want to 
explain that one?


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: Before we go into 
this one, I want to say that we passed the 
resolution to consider a negotiated sale. It 
doesn't mean we're going to purchase it based upon 
appraisal. And then when it comes back, we sit 
down with the land owners to see if we really want 
to purchase it at that point. So that's what this 
is. So this motion is on the Corine Heath, that's 
the allotment, original allottee, and the number 
is 1591.


 What I want to mention is that we've 
already passed a resolution to acquire or to 
consider the purchase of Mr. James Kowena, who 



CBC 10-9-10 - October 9, 2010 

 also is on this 1591. There's three portions to 
it, there's an F, there's a G, and I believe the 
other one is E. There are three portions and there 
are three individual children, of -- well, 
descendants on this. Each of them have their 
separate ownership. So we have this new one 
coming to us offering additional area for sale. 
This portion belongs to Juanita Kowena Carter, and 
you can see it's 19.688 acres more or less. It's 
adjacent to -- there's three parcels there. 
Mr. Kowena, which we've agreed to, is on the west; 
Ms. Carter here is in the middle; and then there's 
one on the right of that, which is another area 
belonging to Daisy, their sister, who will also be 
offering hers for us to consider. So we'll have 
one block with all of them.


 MS. ATTOCKNIE: Where is the location 
of this land?


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: The location is 
southwest of Indiahoma.


 MR. GRIFFIN: 290th.


 MS. ATTOCKNIE: Do what?


 MR. GRIFFIN: The section just north 
of Gore on 290th.


 MR. BURGESS: A few miles west of 



CBC 10-9-10 - October 9, 2010 

 Indiahoma.


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: Yes, southwest.


 MR. BURGESS: We've talked about 
James.


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: There's roads. You 
know, it's all accessible.


 MR. BURGESS: So James is the 1591G 
and 1591 is Juanita Kowena Carter. Do we want to 
approve both these in one motion?


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: I think if you'll 
turn over to 138 quickly, this one's contained


 27.94 acres more or less. Yes, I think we can 
consider them both at one time. Motion to be 
made. Mr. James Kowena. And then we have -let's 
see, did we get Daisy's in here? 
MR. BURGESS: No, we just have 
Juanita and James. I thought Daisy was -- she's


 E. That's not in here. 
MR. TIPPECONNIE: Daisy should have 
been in here as well. 
UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: James is E, 
Juanita is F, and Daisy is G. 
MR. TIPPECONNIE: Yes, we should have 
had -- excuse me. I think we need to look at all 
three of them, because they all are together. 



CBC 10-9-10 - October 9, 2010 

 They're just parceled individually on the same 
5191 Comanche Allotment.


 MR. BURGESS: I read up here and I 
see the name here, James, and then I don't see the 
name Juanita down here.


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: It shouldn't be 
James.


 MR. BURGESS: It should be Daisy?


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: That's what I was 
saying. It's a correction.


 MS. ATTOCKNIE: And this is just a 
resolution to consider negotiating after -


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: It doesn't say that 
we will buy it. Appraisals will be made and 
then -- we don't see the appraisals. The 
appraisals go to the landowners and then we sit 
down and negotiate. Yes, that should be -- excuse 
me. That should be Daisy in there.


 MR. BURGESS: On the fourth whereas, 
138-10, the fourth whereas will read: The CBC 
authorizes the purchase for consideration in the 
amount of BIA appraisal value or higher appraisal, 
negotiated sale from Ms. Daisy Kowena, D-A-I-S-Y.


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: It's always an A on 
this one. So these two, as I was saying, we've 



CBC 10-9-10 - October 9, 2010 

 acted on James, so Daisy and Juanita are the two 
here that we can combine. So we can combine 
137-10, 138-10.


 MR. KOSECHEQUETAH: What's the status 
of the James?


 MR. BURGESS: They're going through 
the appraisal right now. We don't know yet.


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: One thing I have to 
mention, the appraisals are made by the office of 
the special trustee at the BIA, but at this point 
of the year, in this time of the year, all 
appraisals turn around and go into farming, 
grazing, so they're appraising at this time 
farming and grazing. So if we want to expedite 
things, which we tell these persons, we will pay 
for the appraisal up front, but they have to 
reimburse us for the appraisal. And these parties 
are okay with that.


 So to expedite it, then we go to the 
office of special trustee asking for that listing 
of approved appraisers and then work that out with 
them. It would probably be good in this case 
because we put all three together, and maybe the 
appraisal would be cheaper 1, 1, 1.


 MS. ATTOCKNIE: Hope it's cheaper 



CBC 10-9-10 - October 9, 2010 

 MR. TIPPECONNIE: I hope it's 
cheaper, but we'll get it reimbursed if we buy 
it. If we don't, we stand that expense.


 MR. GOODIN: Do we get mineral rights 
if you buy it?


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: The purchases that 
we're going through now, we're asking for all, all 
of that, mineral and surface. That's up to the 
individual to say whether they want us to have 
mineral. Normally it's surface, but we ask that 
they consider granting the both of those.


 MR. WAUAHDOOAH: Need a motion?


 MR. BURGESS: Motion.


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: For 137 and 138?


 MR. BURGESS: Yes.


 MR. WAUAHDOOAH: I make the motion, 
Mr. Chairman.


 MR. BURGESS: Motion made by Mark 
over here. Second, please?


 MR. KOSECHEQUETAH: Second the 
motion.


 MR. BURGESS: Darrell Kosechequetah 
seconds.


 MR. KOSECHEQUETAH: Mr. Chairman, I 
want to make a note. As you mentioned earlier, 



CBC 10-9-10 - October 9, 2010 

 the lands that we're buying may be remote, may be 
out of place, but what we're looking for is 
towards the future, particularly in terms of 
water. Water is going to become a valuable 
commodity in the future. We can get the water 
rights and sell that, big time. We're not going 
to buy every piece of land there is, but we're 
looking at water.


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: I might say, and I 
know our time is very precious here this morning, 
but on James Kowena, it's a good place to put an 
impoundment. And I think we have to think about 
some impoundments as well as wells.


 MR. BURGESS: He's talking about 
water impoundments, not impound lot.


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: Not impound a car, 
water impoundments.


 MR. BURGESS: Motion's been made and 
seconded. All those in favor signify by saying 
"aye". 
(Aye.) 
MR. BURGESS: All those opposed, same

 sign. All those abstain, same sign.


 MR. NARCOMEY: Nay.


 MR. BURGESS: Four ayes, one nay. 



CBC 10-9-10 - October 9, 2010 

 The ayes have it.


 I might add, ladies and gentlemen, in 
the future we don't know what housing is going to 
look like. What I mean is housing by our people. 
So it's always good to have this land that we can 
put homes on as well. If we have to designate it 
to Comanche Housing or the tribe to build 
individual homes for elders, perhaps, or young 
families down the line. Since it is trust land, 
it's something that we -- we don't like doing it, 
but we're going to have to do it, buy our own land 
back.


 Okay. We're moving on to Resolution 
Number 139-10. This is the Amos Komacheet 
Allotment. This, too, is a resolution to consider 
for purchase the allotment. The original allottee 
was Amos Komacheet. Where is this one at?


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: This allotment 
is -


 MR. WAUAHDOOAH: Cotton County.


 MR. BURGESS: Cotton County.


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: Pretty much all 
farmland. A portion of it is a little forested 
with trees. The majority of it is farmed. It's 
nine miles southeast of Faxon, and it's about 



CBC 10-9-10 - October 9, 2010 

29


 two-and-a-half miles east of White Lakes there. I 
don't know if many people know about White Lakes, 
but it's lakes down there, it has water in it. So 
it's about two-and-a-half miles from White Lakes, 
so you can suggest again it has a water table. 
It's four miles north of the deep Red River Creek 
and six miles west of Highway 62, so it sits out 
south of Faxon. It's sort of -- and then west of 
-- excuse me -- Highway 44, excuse me. I said


 62. 
Highway 44. 
MR. BURGESS: So it's near the 
casino? 
MR. TIPPECONNIE: Yes. I can pass 
the map. The one that has the number in it is the 
allotment.


 MR. REDELK: Robert, it's listed at 
170 acres?


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: Yes.


 MR. REDELK: Where did the other 10 
acres come from?


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: Where did the other 
10 acres go?


 MR. REDELK: Where did it come from? 
They're blocked off in quarter sections and 
sections, and it's listed as 170 acres as opposed 



CBC 10-9-10 - October 9, 2010 

 to 150, so -


 MR. BURGESS: Or 160.


 MR. REDELK: 160.


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: I can't explain 
that, but it has three lots on it. One lot is a 
portion of that area. They may have sold 10 
acres, because the description gives it by these 
lots, so it was lotted. So I assume those other 
acres were sold, because the Lot 1 is 44 acres, 
the Lot 2 is 45 acres, the Lot 3 is 80 acres, and 
it totals 170. So they must have at some point 
had -- I don't know.


 MR. REDELK: Sold another quarter?


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: Yes.


 MR. WAUAHDOOAH: Mr. Chairman, what 
does this mean?


 MR. BURGESS: If we don't buy it, it 
goes out of trust.


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: I need to mention 
that. Some of these lands, the individual persons 
who own them go up to the Bureau of Indian Affairs 
and say they want to sell their land. In this 
case, this individual, the owner, wants to sell 
the land and they have a non-Indian buyer.


 MR. WAUAHDOOAH: Oh. 



CBC 10-9-10 - October 9, 2010 

 MR. TIPPECONNIE: So they want to 
take it out of trust. Okay? Under the 
circumstances, the Bureau advises the Comanche 
Nation. Says since it's a Comanche allotment, we 
have the first option to say we're interested and 
that we would like to acquire it. Okay. If we 
say no today, it will go back to the Bureau and 
then that person can go to fee. So they will 
apply for a fee title and it goes out of trust.


 MR. WAUAHDOOAH: Mr. Chairman, I make 
a motion that we accept this resolution.


 MR. BURGESS: We could be outbid. We 
only are going with the appraisal price. Someone 
might bid twice the money.


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: See, we're down the 
road yet. We say okay, we get in negotiation with 
them, and then there's a price at that point in 
time. But at this point, we say yes, we want to 
consider it, so we'll move and will advise the 
party, you know.


 MR. BURGESS: A motion has been made 
by Mark Wauahdooah, second made by Darrell 
Kosechequetah. All those in favor signify by 
saying "aye".


 (Aye.) 



CBC 10-9-10 - October 9, 2010 

 MR. BURGESS: All those opposed, same 
sign. All those abstain, same sign.


 MR. NARCOMEY: Nay.


 MR. BURGESS: One nay, four ayes, one 
abstain.


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: Can I get the map 
back?


 MR. BURGESS: It's just a thin strip 
on the west side, it looks like, between the fence 
line and the blue line that wasn't sold to others.


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: 141 is a similar -this 
one is for instance -


 MR. BURGESS: 140.


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: Yes. The 160 is 
all grazing. The same situation lies here. The 
individual is willing to go fee, sell it to 
someone else, but they're willing to listen to see 
if the Comanche Nation wants to purchase it.


 MR. BURGESS: This is land that's in 
Caddo County.


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: Tillman County.


 MR. BURGESS: Are you sure? It says 
Caddo down here.


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: Excuse me, I'm on 
the wrong one. Excuse me. I jumped ahead of 



CBC 10-9-10 - October 9, 2010 

 you. Mr. Conover, yes, that's correct.


 MR. BURGESS: This is 40 acres 
directly north of Indian City.


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: Directly north down 
in the flat of Indian City. It's owned by 
Mr. Thomas Wendt. He lives in California, and 
he's eager. He also has a non-Indian potential 
buyer. So we have that first option. If we pass 
this, we say we're interested. It's 40 acres, 
more or less. Sits down on the flat. It's 
accessible.


 MR. BURGESS: Do we need to do 
this -- didn't we do this before? I thought we 
did.


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: We were about to. 
We never passed it.


 MR. BURGESS: Because they do have 
the Conover. Is that the original allottee?


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: That's the original 
allottee, Conover.


 MR. BURGESS: W-E-N-D-T, the Wendt 
name.


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: Yes, W-E-N-D-T. If 
anybody wants to see it, there's a color map. It 
lies down in here. Some of it's treed, but it's 



CBC 10-9-10 - October 9, 2010 

 along that road. 
MR. WAUAHDOOAH: So it's near Indian


 City? 
MR. BURGESS: North of Indian City. 
MR. TIPPECONNIE: It's down off the


 hill, but there are some trees on the south part 
of the 40 acres. 
MS. ATTOCKNIE: That's south of Ron's


 house, isn't it? 
MR. REDELK: I live in Indian City. 
MS. ATTOCKNIE: Okay, then it is. 
(Discussion held off record.) 
MR. WAUAHDOOAH: Mr. Chairman, I make


 a motion we accept this land.


 MR. BURGESS: Mr. Wauahdooah makes a 
motion to go into negotiations on this purchase. 
Second?


 MR. WAUAHDOOAH: Could definitely put 
houses there. 
MR. TIPPECONNIE: That's a good spot


 for something like that. 
MR. BURGESS: Second? 
MR. TIPPECONNIE: I second. 
MR. BURGESS: Mr. Tippeconnie


 seconds. All those in favor signify by saying 



CBC 10-9-10 - October 9, 2010 

 "aye".


 (Aye.)


 MR. BURGESS: All those opposed, same 
sign. All those abstain, same sign.


 MR. NARCOMEY: Nay.


 MR. BURGESS: Motion passes. We'll 
do this last resolution, then make a motion.


 MS. ATTOCKNIE: Sir, before you do 
the last one, I do absolutely need to have 
Resolution 146-10 approved today, please.


 MR. BURGESS: Oh, that's our grant, 
huh?


 MS. ATTOCKNIE: Yes, it's a HUD 
application for construction of a building on-site 
to house our social services, our Indian Child 
Welfare offices and a child daycare center.


 MR. BURGESS: That, ladies and 
gentlemen, will be a grant in the amount of 
approximately $800,000, of which the tribe needs 
to make a commitment of approximately $80,000 for 
the childcare.


 MS. ATTOCKNIE: It's about 120,000.


 MR. BURGESS: That we need to do?


 MS. ATTOCKNIE: Yes. The 80,000 is. 
I'll give you a resolution on the 18th, which 



CBC 10-9-10 - October 9, 2010 

 would request that the tribe put on the ballot for 
our next budget year of 80,000 of that 120 to be 
used for matching in the form of buying the 
equipment necessary for the playground and safety 
and the other 40,000 we can be -- work it in-kind.


 MR. BURGESS: Okay. That will be 
fine on the 18th. That's the handout y'all have, 
gentlemen, that's the resolution. We'll move down 
to Resolution 146-10. If everybody's in 
agreement, we'll go ahead.


 MR. TAHSEQUAH: Jerry Tahsequah. 
Will this be including, also, the Indian Child 
Support?


 MS. ATTOCKNIE: No. I told you that 
the other night at our public meeting.


 MR. TAHSEQUAH: No, I suggested that 
we look into the possibility of adding the Indian 
Child Support to this since we all are under 
social services. And my understanding is -- I've 
seen the drawings of the facility, and my 
understanding is that it would house 20 children 
in a daycare center connected to Indian Child 
Welfare and social services.


 My recommendation to Ms. Attocknie 
was to possibly consider adding our Indian Child 



CBC 10-9-10 - October 9, 2010 

 Support, too, because they'll be -- we have a 
building here that's housing both our Indian Child 
Welfare and our Indian Child Support. And we use 
every bit of the space, both offices use all the 
spaces. I'm just making a recommendation that we 
possibly consider -


 MR. BURGESS: We had considered that, 
but because the Indian Child Welfare and the 
Indian Child Welfare Court don't have their own 
space, we felt it was priority to have the court 
and Indian Child Welfare situated nearby and 
adjacent to each other, because we have families 
who wait around out here and need to have their 
own room, their own meeting room and their own 
waiting room for the court, judges and the clerk. 
And Indian Child Welfare would be situated there.


 Now, we only have a number of dollars 
to go after. To add that program and bring it 
over here, we have to add another probably 60 to 
$100,000 to add that space. This has been planned 
long before the child support services ever came 
along, to put a building over here to house some 
of these community and family services programs. 
So Indian Child Welfare, the two offices they 
have, would be moved over here, the courtroom 



CBC 10-9-10 - October 9, 2010 

 would be there, meeting space would be there, 
judges would have chambers and four offices 
adjacent for Indian Child Welfare program. That's 
been the longest running program we've had from 
the Bureau.


 Child support services, while it 
handles a lot of family matters and everything, 
it's not necessarily required to be on trust 
land. The other programs should be on trust land 
because they deal with trust property services and 
our people. That's why we're looking at those 
programs, because of their plus status and 
mechanism of funding coming from the Bureau.


 MR. TAHSEQUAH: I'm in agreement 
with -


 MR. BURGESS: I understand. I'm just 
letting you know why it was thought of and not 
considered in the plan right now. When we come 
back you can come to the floor, propose that we 
put in $120,000 to add a wing to that building to 
bring the child support services over to us.


 MS. ATTOCKNIE: This is also 
something before that we've run out of time, but I 
need to -- most of you already know about it, but 
this is just a copy. We were just awarded 



CBC 10-9-10 - October 9, 2010 

 $1,825,000 for a vocational rehabilitation program


 for Native Americans with disabilities.


 MR. NARCOMEY: Thank you, thank you.


 MR. BURGESS: Let's go to the 
original resolution, 146-10, then we have a motion 
behind that.


 MR. NARCOMEY: Mr. Chairman, this is 
just to submit an application for a grant?


 MS. ATTOCKNIE: Yes.


 MR. BURGESS: Yes.


 MR. NARCOMEY: Did you say we have to 
put up 80,000, the tribe itself?


 MR. BURGESS: Yes. That will go 
towards -- if it's cash, that will go towards our 
childcare program, to put them on the further end, 
for their supplies, materials, office equipment, 
so we can have that childcare program here in the 
area. We have a lot of employees who leave their 
home here and go into Lawton and then come back to


 go to work. 
MR. NARCOMEY: Have we got this in 
our budget? 
MR. BURGESS: We put $100,000 in our

 budget for matching grants. 
MR. NARCOMEY: I make a motion to 



CBC 10-9-10 - October 9, 2010 

 approve.


 MR. KOSECHEQUETAH: I'll second the 
motion.


 MR. BURGESS: Motion made by 
Mr. Narcomey, second by Darrell Kosechequetah. 
All those in favor signify by saying "aye".


 (Aye.)


 MR. BURGESS: All those opposed, same 
sign. All those abstain, same sign. Resolution 
passes.


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: I wanted to see if 
we could act on this one today, because it could 
cause things to move. It was the last one I added 
to the agenda, the Mullen, negotiated sale on 
Mullen. The last resolution on the agenda 
amended. I have to hand it out to you.


 MR. BURGESS: Oh, okay. We have 
several motions that have to be approved. It can 
be approved now or on the 18th.


 This is Samuel Mullen, Comanche 
Allotment Number 2333. This resolution authorizes 
to go into negotiations with the family, Carol A. 
Mullen, on a BIA appraised sale. This is interest 
in surface and subsurface undivided rights of 
Carol Mullen. Northwest quarter of Section 4, 



CBC 10-9-10 - October 9, 2010 

 Township 001 North, Range 001 West of the Indian 
Meridian, Comanche County, Oklahoma. It's 80 
acres more or less undivided. So that's off of 
Lee or Gore?


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: It's south of 7th, 
south of Lee, and it's adjacent to the soccer 
field.


 MR. WAUAHDOOAH: Right there on East 
Cache Creek.


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: Adjacent to the 
soccer field. It's the 160 with the 80, she owns 
80 of the undivided. And yes, it has those houses 
to the east side in the trees.


 Now, the way I understand it, the 
girl says because it's undivided -- it's a very, 
very valuable piece of land. This person owns the 
majority, you can see, of the acreage. She owns 
about 80 acres and it's undivided. But if we 
acquire it, she's tried to partition it before 
with other owners, which are her brothers and 
sisters, but they have not been wanting to do 
that. But they said if the nation could acquire 
it, it would probably be easier for it to be 
partitioned, being that we're a government.


 MR. WAUAHDOOAH: Mr. Chairman, make a 



CBC 10-9-10 - October 9, 2010 

 motion to accept this.


 MR. NARCOMEY: It's trust land?


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: It's trust land.


 MR. BURGESS: Yes.


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: Very valuable land 
right south of the land that we have above it. 
It's in a sod farm now with the Sullivans. The 
Sullivans are leasing it. There is the sod farm 
and there's some -- there's a tower there. So 
there's -


 MR. BURGESS: There's some income 
already.


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: There's some income 
from the tower. I think they said 75,000 a year 
or something like that.


 MR. REDELK: Is that on the south 
side of Highway 7?


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: Yes, Highway 7, 
adjacent to Highway 7.


 MR. TAHSEQUAH: Where does that fit 
in the flood zone? Is that in the flood zone 
area?


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: They consider -yes, 
good parts coming up from Cache Creek to be 
in that, yes. 



CBC 10-9-10 - October 9, 2010 

 MR. BURGESS: All right. Motion made 
by Mr. Wauahdooah. Second by?


 MR. REDELK: I'll second that.


 MR. BURGESS: Mr. RedElk. All those 
in favor signify by saying "aye".


 (Aye.)


 MR. BURGESS: All those opposed, same 
sign. All those abstain, same sign. Five ayes.


 Bob, we have a motion?


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: Yes, we need to act 
on -


 MR. BURGESS: Let's do all of them, 
three of them anyway. I don't know what the 
museum is about. Then we need to go -


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: The museum motion, 
and I don't want to offend anybody here, but, you 
know, Mr. RedElk has had an affinity and support 
of the museum in the past -- I'm speaking for you 
so you can challenge me. But since we have the 
new LLC and Mr. Kosechequetah is now on that as 
well as on KCA, and Mr. RedElk is not on anything 
at the moment, I just would like to see a motion 
where he's put on the museum in place of 
Mr. Kosechequetah. That would be that motion, if 
that's acceptable. 



CBC 10-9-10 - October 9, 2010 

 MR. REDELK: Is that acceptable with 
Darrell?


 MR. KOSECHEQUETAH: No.


 MR. BURGESS: You'd like to stay?


 MR. KOSECHEQUETAH: Yes. But, you 
know, there's reasons. There's some unfinished 
stuff we need to take care of. We have some stuff 
pending right now that's very important that I've 
been a part of, so I feel -- I would like to table 
it maybe.


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: And reconsider it?


 MR. KOSECHEQUETAH: And reconsider 
it, and I certainly wouldn't have a problem with 
that maybe a month or two from now.


 MR. NARCOMEY: Did you make a 
motion?


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: I said that was 
what the motion would be considered if it was okay 
with these individuals.


 MR. BURGESS: Did you see the packet?


 MR. NARCOMEY: I got it. I was just 
curious if you made the motion.


 MR. BURGESS: We do need five minutes 
with our attorneys in executive session, so if we 
approve these travel -



CBC 10-9-10 - October 9, 2010 

 MR. TIPPECONNIE: We have to approve 
the travel now.


 MR. BURGESS: Vehicles, about 
Mr. Henson returning the vehicle he has, which 
he's done. I'd like to approve all these motions 
in one vote. Gentlemen, you have all got them 
there. It details three travels for CBC members 
to various workshops, and all those who got the 
NCAI who would like go. I wouldn't be there the 
whole time. I would be there the last three days 
of it for the necessary votes.


 MRS. GOODIN: Mr. Chairman, I want to 
ask you, when the committee, anyone of the 
committee are -- like Mr. Kosechequetah going to 
work at the museum, do they pay them for that or 
is it a volunteer thing? He's already on the 
committee.


 MR. BURGESS: He's on the body. And, 
Darrell, you've been receiving membership payments 
with all the committees?


 MR. KOSECHEQUETAH: Same as we do 
with KCA or the college, we sit as a board 
member. I'm not a worker.


 MR. BURGESS: He's not an employee.


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: He's an ex officio. 



CBC 10-9-10 - October 9, 2010 

 MR. BURGESS: Right, he's not an 
employee, he just sits on the board of directors 
basically.


 MRS. GOODIN: But he does receive a 
stipend?


 MR. KOSECHEQUETAH: Yes.


 MRS. GOODIN: Can I ask how much that 
stipend is?


 MR. KOSECHEQUETAH: $200.


 MR. WAUAHDOOAH: Mr. Chairman, I make 
a motion we accept these travel.


 MR. BURGESS: Down to the -excluding 
the museum, down to the vehicle?


 MR. WAUAHDOOAH: Yes, excluding the 
museum.


 (Discussion held off record.)


 MS. ATTOCKNIE: So those are five 
motions?


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: Five motions.


 MR. BURGESS: Yes.


 MS. ATTOCKNIE: Okay.


 MRS. GOODIN: Would you repeat the 
five motions, please? Which motions?


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: The motion is for 
the chairman to travel to Washington D.C. 



CBC 10-9-10 - October 9, 2010 

 MR. BURGESS: That includes 
Mr. Narcomey there.


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: Excuse me, and 
Mr. Narcomey, and then our travel to NCAI, and 
then travel where they're having a smoke shop 
management and operation session for two 
individuals to attend, and then the motion for 
Muscular Dystrophy. We're contributing to that. 
And then a motion to cancel the use of the tribal 
vehicle by the vice chairman.


 MRS. GOODIN: How much is the 
donation to MDA?


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: 700.


 MR. WAUAHDOOAH: I make that motion 
on these contributions and for travel.


 MR. NARCOMEY: Did our vice chairman 
have a Pikepass, also?


 MR. BURGESS: There may have been one 
in there, I'm not sure.


 MR. NARCOMEY: That's taken away from 
him, also?


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: We can amend the 
motion to be sure it says that.


 MR. BURGESS: There is one that's 
assigned to the vehicle, so it would come back 



CBC 10-9-10 - October 9, 2010 

 with the vehicle. Second?


 MR. WAUAHDOOAH: I made the motion, 
Mr. Chairman.


 MR. BURGESS: Second?


 MR. NARCOMEY: I second it.


 MR. BURGESS: Now the question.


 MS. MASON: I have a question. When 
y'all go on these trips, how come y'all never tell 
us about what y'all learned? All we know is y'all 
go on a trip and y'all always say, "We don't have 
any money." Does this trip include your 
girlfriend, that the tribe is having to pay for 
her, too?


 MR. BURGESS: Motion's been made, 
seconded. All those in favor signify by saying 
"aye".


 (Aye.)


 MR. BURGESS: All those opposed, same 
sign. All those abstain, same sign. Motion 
passes.


 MR. BEARSHIELD: Mr. Chairman, could 
I ask a question? I know you want to go into 
executive session. And I was going to ask, 
recommend we be heard in executive session, 
because we're under the line item on the agenda 



CBC 10-9-10 - October 9, 2010 

 for our sponsorship. Could we speak to that? 
Because I don't believe we're going to be able to 
make it on the 18th.


 MR. BURGESS: Is it David, right, on 
Number 10? It shouldn't be executive session if 
you're asking for a charitable contribution, 
right? You're asking for a contribution to -


 MR. BEARSHIELD: For our Anadarko 
convention that we have every year. And it's 
going to be on November 4th, 5th and 6th, and we 
have some things that are already on the -- we 
just need to have a decision really made today. 
And we would recommend that if we could be heard, 
and then a decision be made to go in your 
executive session. Is that what you're going to 
do?


 MR. BURGESS: We'll, you've already 
petitioned us, and it shouldn't be executive 
session for charitables.


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: And there's 
something in your packet here if you go to 
Anadarko Convention 2010, right?


 MR. BEARSHIELD: Yes.


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: It's the Christian 
Fellowship location.

 MR. BEARSHIELD: Last year the


 Comanche Nation took a lead role in some of the 
things that we did with the convention. It's a 
convention that took -- it locates all the 
southwestern tribes of Oklahoma: Kiowa, Comanche, 
Wichita, Delaware, the Comanches, and then the 
Cheyenne-Arapaho. This year we've changed over 
some of the leadership that's in that and we're 
looking at the special donation to sponsor these 
individuals.


 If you'll notice in your packet, 
you'll see the line item amount that's going to be 
there. One of the decisions that needs to be made 
is because some of the airfare needs to be taken 
place at a better time frame rather than at the 
last minute, because the cost is real expensive 
when you begin to book your flights, and do things 
that we need to do to get taken care of for that.


 One of the major things that the 
Comanche Nation is going to get from this 
sponsorship is they're going to get their 
advertisement for their casinos on our commercials 
and in our full-page ads that are going to take 
place in the Oklahoma Daily News, Anadarko Daily 
News, the El Reno Tribune, the Cheyenne-Arapaho

 Tribune, and I believe there's numerous other 
papers that will have the logo of the Comanche 
Nation on there. We appreciate last year's 
donation that was given to us and your 
contribution, Mr. Chairman, for giving towards the 
convention.


 We just feel that we -- this is going 
to allow a prayer for our tribal leader. It's 
going to not only just the Comanches, but we are 
having our tribal leaders come in on the Friday of 
that evening. Lieutenant Governor Jari Askins 
will be there, and we are going -- some of the 
contributions that are going to be made toward 
this are going to be given to her as a recognition 
of all the southwestern tribes of Oklahoma. We 
hope that she'll be coming in as the incoming 
governor. But she will be there as the lieutenant 
governor to welcome the tribal leaders, as well as 
the southwestern tribal leader. So we just wanted 
to let you know. No disrespect to the family 
that's having a funeral and to the committee here, 
but we ask that you would make a decision so we 
could know something here. Thank you.


 MR. BURGESS: Okay. David, thank you 
very much. We'll consider this as we come out of 



CBC 10-9-10 - October 9, 2010 

 executive session. How much did we assist you 
with last year?


 MR. BEARSHIELD: I believe it was 
4,000. No, it was 1,200, I'm sorry.


 MR. BURGESS: Ladies and gentlemen, 
would you excuse us, please? We have a motion to 
go into executive session. We're going to have to 
listen to our attorneys on an issue.


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: I'll make the 
motion for executive session.


 MR. BURGESS: Motion to go into 
executive session by Mr. Tippeconnie.


 MR. NARCOMEY: Second.


 MR. TIPPECONNIE: Clyde seconded it.


 MR. BURGESS: Second by Clyde. Clyde 
Narcomey seconded. All those in favor signify by 
saying "aye".


 (Aye.)


 MR. BURGESS: All those opposed, same 
sign. All those abstain, same sign.
