Nya:wëh sgënö’ gagwe’goh,
I’m thankful you are well. High School spring sports are starting, and seniors are getting very close to graduation day.
It is also time for the Nation to begin our annual budget process with the 2024 budget “kick-off”. This is a very intensive process beginning with a look at some of the assumptions on our estimated revenues, including our Nation enterprises and subsidiary revenues. We also take a look at our preliminary expenditures to see what our spending trends are compared to previous years. We then compare to our goals and objectives for the year as well as ways to save over the year.
Some saving goals recently discussed were limiting appropriations, attrition, wage gaps and possibly creating an endowment. Anyone of these ideas would create cost savings to the overall budget. This is a quick overview of how the budget process works as we move forward planning the budget for next year.
The annual Community Fair takes place this year on April 3-6, 2023. See Seneca Media for the weeks schedule filled with many fun and exciting things for families during spring break. See schedule posted below as well.
As always,
Stay safe and stay healthy
Dah ne’hoh dih ae’
