Body
Whereas, the Cherokee Nation since time immemorial has exercised its sovereign power of self-government on behalf of the Cherokee people;
Whereas, the Cherokee Nation is a federally recognized Indian Nation with a historic and continual government-to-government relationship with the United States of America;
Whereas, the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996 requires a tribe to adopt a one year plan for each fiscal year's funding;
Whereas, the Cherokee Nation approved by Resolution No. 4-06 and submitted its Fiscal Year 2006 Indian Housing Plan to the Department of Housing and Urban Development based on the final allocated amount;
Whereas, the Cherokee Nation now desires to amend the original plan to include a model activity of building two storage facilities and increasing the amount of program income.
Whereas, all changes to the original plan are attached as individual pages with proposed addition of the model activity.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CHEROKEE NATION, that the approved Fiscal Year 2006 Indian Housing Plan is amended in accordance with the attached individual pages to include a model activity and is authorized to be submitted to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED BY THE CHEROKEE NATION, that should the Department of Housing and Urban Development require changes upon its review of the submitted Plan and the changes do not reflect substantial or material modifications as determined by the Community Development/Tribal Services Committee then the changes, additions, deletions, and/or modifications may be made and returned for further consideration by HUD without further Council action.
