At our last Common Council meeting, I noted that the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs had posted information on the web regarding the application filed by the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians for the transfer and proposed development of 165.81 acres, located in the 6`h Councilmanic District, which I am proud to represent. A link to that information and their Executive Summary has been shared with you. I have had the opportunity to share the attached Resolution with the City Administration. It provides an opportunity for the Council to also address this very important topic. I recommend that this proposed Resolution be sent to the Community Relations Committee for review, discussion and a favorable recommendation. Thank you. X elis 6`h District Council Member Attachments
