Amendments were made to the Item authored and submitted by Wilfred Gaseoma, Hopi Tribal Treasurer which addressed the continuation of the FY2021 Budget as of January 1, 2022. On Tuesday, December 21, 2021, a day before the Action Item was brought before Council, discussions surrounding the need to get the FY 2022 Budget process completed and approved by the deadline date of December 31, 2021 also took place. The Action Item packet presenting the FY2022 Budget Resolution, which had not yet made its way through the process of being added to the Agenda, was noted by some Tribal Councilmen as being most definitely delayed with sounding frustrated during the discussions. The Wednesday, December 22, 2021 morning session continued surrounding the Action Item for the continuation of the FY2021 Budget and discussions ensued regarding details about the delay, the need for suspending of the rules to get the Action Item packet with the Continuation Budget on the Council Agenda, the Treasurer and Chairman reiterating the process for getting an Action Item packet through the Secretary’s Office, the lack of the Vice Chairman’s signature on the packet which was holding up the process, the need for orientation of Tribal Council on the process, and the Secretary’s Office’s deadlines and how the process of suspending the rules was made up at some point in time. Prior to the morning session being recessed, the Treasurer notified Council that,“I just got updated information that Vice Chairman has signed…signed it so it goes on to the next person, which is myself, so once I get back to my computer, I’ll sign it and send it on to the next person.” Chairman Nuvangyaoma also clarified,“We have the Action Item we just need to recess so we can focus on getting that into the process and have that brought back in for action tomorrow…” The morning session was recessed at 9:58 a.m. with plans for reconvening later in the day at three o’clock. Later during the three o’clock afternoon hour, Herman G. Honanie, Kykotsmovi Village Representative made a motion to suspend the rules to have the Action Item addressing the continuation of the FY2021 Budget added to Council’s Agenda. A Second to the motion was made by Raymond Namoki, Sipaulovi Village Representative. Council passed the motion to suspend the rules, which allowed Council to continue moving on for review, fur- ther discussion and questions on Action Item \#H005-2022 but not until Wallace Youvella, Jr., First Mesa Consolidated Villages Representative stated,“…the only question I have is…we passed a resolution in October that regards Tewa Village and withholding of those funds…will this continuing resolution override that resolution that we passed and allow…the Village of Tewa Village to…get their allocation up to 10%?” This in turn led to Chairman Nuvangyaoma responding, “I think that’s a matter of the discussion that would happen once the Action Item is read into record…” and then requested that the Hopi Tribal Secretary read t
