BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CHEROKEE NATION, that the attached Amended Indian Housing Plan and an electronic version from which it was copied are approved as the Cherokee Nation Fiscal Year 2008 Indian Housing Plan for submission 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, those changes are to be submitted to the Community Services/Tribal Services Committee of the Cherokee Nation Tribal Council for determination of whether those changes or modifications are substantial or material.
