HOLLYWOOD — On August 29, President Moses B. Osceola called a Board of Directors meeting at the Hollywood Tribal Auditorium. After the roll call of Representatives, Liaisons and Officials, reports of Seminole Programs and Enterprises were given.
The general consensus by the enterprise groups was that summer proved to be slow. The Citrus Groves report given by Timmy Johns highlighted the negative effects of continued rain South Florida received the past few months.
The Tucker Ridge Shell Mine reported it was exceeding its output due to receiving a large number of orders. Weekly Asphalt of Davie will continue its association as one of Tucker Ridge's best customers
Both the Citrus Groves and the Tribal Smoke Shops are looking for employees. The Citrus Groves are willing to train future employees for the positions they need filled.
Tabled items from the meeting on June 13 were once again tabled. One note was the Approval of the Authority to enter into Agreement for the Development of a Convenience Store and retail Motor Fuel Sales Station at the Hard Rock Hotel Casino on the Hollywood Reservation, but has been refocused to the old Oasis Truck Stop property.
This decision was due in part to the time constraints for completing the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino.
Approved items included Permanent Status for Salary Increases at the Tribal Smoke Shops, Personal Actions for Employees of the Seminole Tribe of Florida Inc.,
Revolving Credit Loan Approval of AMF Bowling Worldwide Inc., Construction of Tribal Housing, and exploring Oil Production Activities on or near Seminole Tribal land moved to Council.
Also approved: Ferrara Pan Candy Company Resolution, and Aircraft Parts Production Resolution. Approval to remove included: Approval of Authority to Review Proposal with Brickell Bay Entertainment Company, to remove resolution establishing Fort Pierce Community Board Liaison as locally elected position.
The AMF Bowling Worldwide, Inc. Resolution proposed by Rufus Tiger will place 30 lanes in Immokalee and 30 lanes in Brighton. The proposal only mentioned the 30 lanes for each site, but Vice President Mitchell Cypress wanted a total cost package for each proposed bowling center.
Cypress expressed his concerns that the proposed resolutions be worded as reviews or investigations into the businesses brought before the Board.
Anna Townsend, the new BIA Superintendent, was introduced to the Board of Directors by Joe Frank, Acting BIA Superintendent. She will fill the position that was once held by Leland Keel.
The Board of Directors will hold another Regular Meeting on October 10 at the Tribal Auditorium.
