12/13/2021 @ 5:09pm Motion proposed by: Natalie Suan, VP SFTHCC
Amended Salmon Distribution Vote
 I would like to amend the Salmon distribution motion. To do distribution #1 this weekend 12/18 & 12/19 in Rio Vista. This
would include any request for shipment as we will have the labor to get out a Saturday shipment if needed. To release the
simple form attached to account for every pound distributed. The 2nd distribution should be on 1/16/2022 this would be
incentive for citizens to come out and vote. It would also prevent those who come out to vote from paying traveling expenses
again. The new board can then determine if a 3rd distribution is needed and be assured that they have all request by
1/31/2022.
 I suggest we advertise until supplies last and 1 order per household please. According to Will’s shipping estimate we are
looking at 8 pounds per person for 100 people or 100 applications. However, we should account for product that might spoil,
If want to use for a community event, or to offer for storage fees. I recommend accepting 80 people/applications at 8 pounds
each.
 We do not have free access to the freezer due to health codes. We must make arraignments to have someone take the product
out of the Freezer for us. So we will need to provide him dates to be available. I would also like to suggest we offer
compensation for storage. Perhaps payment or offering the proprietor Salmon in exchange for his services? It is very
generous when our citizens provide anything to our community.
Thank you,
Natalie Suan

12/14/2021 @ 5:16pm Motion proposed by: Will Micklin, At Large SFTHCC
The SFC election for Council and nominations for Delegate are approved by the Council to occur on January 16, 2022 in Rio Vista. I
am concerned that the impact of the COVID-19 delta variant and the omicron variant present a risk to our SFC members that the
Council may act to mitigate. We cannot know who will attend an in-person meeting, nor their vaccination status. The State of
California Emergency Temporary Standards (ETS) (https://saferatwork.covid19.ca.gov) that apply to all Counties in California is still
in effect. These standards, along with County public health orders, may require the use of face coverings by all individuals indoors
San Francisco Tlingit & Haida Community Council
Tlingit & Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska
regardless of vaccination status, and may require at least six feet distance between individuals plus
exposure times of as short a duration as 15 minutes. These ETS standards are cited in the Solano
County COVID-19 webpage and the Contra Costa County COVID-19 webpage.
I propose the SFC Council take action to reduce the risk to those attending the January 16, 2022 meeting in-person by offering the
opportunity for absentee or electronic voting, and in doing so allow SFC members to participate in the meeting without having to risk
exposure in the meeting or during travel to the meeting, and avoid the cost of travel.
On the SFTHCC.org website in the “About” tab and “Council Elections subtab” [https://sfthcc.org/elections ] the erroneous statement,
“You must appear at our meeting in person in order to vote in the Community Election.” The Constitution states in Section 2, “The
terms of members of the Community Council shall be two years, or until their successors are elected and seated, and shall
correspond as nearly as practicable to the terms of delegates from the Community to the Central Council. A person may hold
the offices of member of the Community Council and delegate to the Central Council at the same time. The members of the
Community Council shall be elected at the same elections as delegates to the Central Council. Delegates to the Central Council
shall be elected in accordance with the Rules of Election.” [emphasis added]. The Central Council Rules of Election provides for
absentee voting and/or electronic voting. See attached Central Council Rules of Election. The Rules of Election provide in Rule 9

• VOTING, “Section 1. All eligible voters will be able to vote either by absentee voting or by electronic voting.” The erroneous
  statement should be removed from the SFTHCC webpage.
  SFC Council approval of absentee or electronic voting for the SFC Council election would serve the reduce the number of individuals
  indoors together while increasing participation, and is compliant with the SFC Constitution and Central Council Rules of Election.
  The SFCC may ask the Central Council to moderate a conference call/Zoom call to allow remote participation in the meeting, and,
  with the participation of the SFC election official, may accept votes from remote participants by mobile phone text or Zoom chat.
  This is my proposal. I believe it is the SFCC responsibility to take action to reduce the risk for those SFC members who wish to
  participate in the Council election and Delegate nomination for those who wish to do so, which does not in any way discourage
  anyone from attending the meeting in-person. So I move for Council approval of this proposal and, if approved, request to Central
  Council to facilitate the Council election and Delegate nomination remotely. Thank you.

1/7/2022 @ 3:07pm Motion proposed by Will Micklin, At Large SFTHCC
I offer a couple of motions concerning the elections for San Francisco Tlingit and Haida Community Council and for Central Council
Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska Delegates for the San Francisco Tlingit and Haida Community for three reasons:
(1) to ensure our elections are compliant with our San Francisco Tlingit and Haida Community Constitution and the Central Council
Rules of Election;
(2) to ensure all SFTH Community members eligible to vote have an equal opportunity to vote wherever they live in California or
elsewhere;
(3) to protect our SFTH Community members from potential risk of COVID-19 exposure to the extent they choose by allowing them to
vote electronically or in person with masks and social distancing.
The SFC Constitution in Article II – Community Council, Section 1, states, “The governing body of the Community shall be a council
composed of seven persons called “Council Members” who shall be elected in accordance with the Rules of Election by the Full
Members of the Community …” [emphasis added]
The Constitution in Article II Section 2 states, “…The members of the Community Council shall be elected at the same elections as
delegates to the Central Council. Delegates to the Central Council shall be elected in accordance with the Rules of Election.” [emphasis
added]
The Central Council website (http://ccthita.org/government/elections/dates/index.html) notices the Nomination period to be from
January 15, 2022 to February 5, 2022. Nominations are accepted by a candidate submission of a Declaration of Intent to Serve (Rules
of Election Rule 7. Section 3.). The Declaration for nomination of a candidate for election to the CCHITA Tribal Assembly is already
posted (see attached Delegate Declaration). I offer for San Francisco Council approval a Notice of Intent to Serve specifically for the
election of the San Francisco Tlingit and Haida Community Council (please see attached SFTHCC Declaration). The Declaration for
nomination of a candidate to the SFTHC Council and the Declaration for nomination of a candidate to the CCTHITA Tribal Assembly
will be accepted by the San Francisco Tlingit and Haida Community Election Official, Ms. Charlene Grey, between January 15, 2022
and February 5, 2022, either at the in-person meeting on January 15, 2022 or by USPS or email by COB February 5, 2022. Both
San Francisco Tlingit & Haida Community Council
Tlingit & Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska
Declarations should be available on the SFTHC election webpages and the CCTHITA election
webpages for the San Francisco Community.
The Constitution states in Article II Section 2, "... The members of the Community
Council shall be elected at the same elections as delegates to the Central Council. Delegates to the Central Council shall
be elected in accordance with the Rules of Election.” [emphasis added].
The Central Council election webpage notices the date of the Delegate election to be March 17, 2022
(http://ccthita.org/government/elections/dates/index.html). The SFTH Community Constitution states the SFTH
Community Council shall be elected at the same election as Delegates, which is March 17, 2022.
The Central Council Rules of Election Rule 5 Section 2 states:
“Section 2. The Local Community Council will need to notify CCTHITA of the process they will be using for the
election either by absentee ballots or electronic voting.
a) If the Local Community Council, for any reason, has not determined its method for election, Tlingit & Haida Program
Compliance staff shall select the default the process to Electronic Voting by COB the first Thursday of December.”
By the above Rule, the San Francisco Community Council process for elections is electronic. Electronic voting for
Delegate was available and used for Delegate voting in the 2020 election. The instructions for electronic voting should
be posted on the SFTH Community election webpages.
Therefore, given that:
(1) The SFTH Community Council and Delegate elections
- nominations occur between January 15, 2022 and February 5, 2022; and
- nominations for elections are submitted to the Local Election Official by Declaration of Intent to Serve; and
- the election for SFTH Community Council and Delegate occurs on March 17, 2022.
I propose motions for the following:
(1) SFTH Community Council approve the attached Declaration of Intent to Serve for the SFTH Community Council
election, and notice to SFTH Community members with instructions for electronic voting.
(2) Following the March 17, 2022 election of SFTH Community Council members, the Council now approve the election
of officers among those seven Council members elected by a second electronic vote among SFTH Community eligible
voters. This is the procedure used by other Community Councils to election officers from among those elected to the
Community Council.
(3) SFTH Community Council include in the notice of the January 15, 2022 nomination meeting the requirement for all
attendees to the meeting to wear masks indoors (a State of California requirement) and maintain a six foot distance
between people, and to recommend attendees be vaccinated, as well as remind eligible voters that they may nominate
candidates and vote in the election electronically.
Please consider the above motions. Thank you.

I received a request from Mary Smith to help with burial cost/get her husband’s remains from a
funeral home. Her husband, Joe Smith passed away a few weeks ago of Covid and she is enduring a
large financial hardship. I propose we send her $1,500 to help with the cost.
Please vote yes or no by Sunday, January 16 at 6:00pm.
Thank You-Jay

-Amendments to motion provided by Will:
I support the motion with the amendment that SFTHCC pay to Ms. Smith any gap between the actual cost of burial
assistance and FEMA assistance up to $1,500. FEMA should pay the full amount, but all things are possible. Or I would
support paying Ms. Smith $500 now and later any gap between the actual cost of burial assistance and FEMA assistance
up to $1,000. ~ Will
