We will continue to update inventory on an as needed basis by contacting Tribal Councils to see if they can get quorums together to pass resolutions.
We are in position to move forward, we are anticipating at least 3 construction projects this next spring/summer and there are currently 5 projects in the planning and designing stages. Our outlook is to continue the planning and design of approximately 5 projects per year; at this rate we should consistently have at least 2 construction projects per year.
Expand our department adding an inventory specialist that will rate existing routes, add routes, etc. in attempt to gain additional funding, adding a planner that will assist in the planning process including environmental, land issues, MOU’s, etc., and possibly adding an additional member that has experience in the accounting field to help monitor reporting requirements, budgeting, etc. We are considering offering an internship to one of the engineering students in our university system (ANSEP) to help with the surveying and design of projects.
For communities that still do not have Long Range Plans, we will work with the communities to start scheduling planning meetings.
We will also need to visit the surrounding communities to discuss the planning efforts so that we can establish inventory boundaries, which is what we are missing for the communities we are working on now.
