For jack
It can be quite expensive for anyone to do cemetery restoration at the Clark County Genealogical Society we spent over $38,000. Over two years time in just one cemetery

Thanks Kuri,

To my knowledge, most of not all Indian governments are not poor.  In fact, in Washington State, many are quite rich.

Last year, the Puyallup Tribe donated $1500 to help fund the Washington State Patriotic Day celebration.  Do we

know who within the Indian community initiated the push for access?  that would be interesting to know.  If it was a

small, not well funded tribe, that would explain the push for such authority unless one or more of the largest tribes

wants significant sums of money for large  projects.

Regards,

Jack

Thanks Kuri,

Indian governments are separate as foreign nations in most matters so I'm not sure how or why they should be

granted the authority to be included as eligible to apply for and receive funds.  This may be a legal question for the

courts to figure out, not sure.

Regards,

Jack

NOTE: This email was sent on an open listserv, if you reply, it will go to the entire list.

The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) is accepting comments on a proposed rule change that would allow tribal governments to apply for Veterans'
 and War Memorial Grants. The proposed amendments are a result of legislation passed during the 2017 session. Under House Bill 2405, tribal governments were added as an entity eligible to apply for grant funding to build or restore veterans' and war memorials.
 The deadline for public comment on the amendments is Dec. 15, 2017. 

The proposed rules change expands the pool of entities eligible to apply for funding, but does not change the existing grant rules or guarantee funding to any specific groups. The Veterans' and War Memorials Grant Program was established to provide funding
 for constructing and restoring veterans' and war memorials on public property. More information is available at oregon.gov/OPRD/HCD. Click on Grants on the left side of the page. (http://www.oregon.gov/oprd/HCD/FINASST/Pages/grants.aspx#Veterans_and_War_Memorials_Grant)

The full text of the amendments to Oregon Administrative Rule 736-017-0005 and 736-017-0020 is available online at oregon.gov/oprd/RULES. Comments can be made directly on this webpage or in writing to Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, attn.: Katie Gauthier,
 725 Summer St NE, Suite C, Salem OR 97301; or through e-mail to 
OPRD.publiccomment at oregon.gov. They will be accepted until 5 p.m. Dec. 15, 2017.

Anyone wishing to comment in person may attend a public hearing at 6 p.m. Nov. 28 in Salem's North Mall Office Building, 725 Summer Street NE, Room 124A.

After reviewing public comments, agency staff plan to present a final recommended rule for consideration by the Oregon State Parks and Recreation Commission at its February 2018 business meeting.
