Ketchikan: Lack
of Quorum Ends Contentious KIC Tribal Council Meeting - For
the fourth time since July the Ketchikan Indian Community Tribal
Council met Tuesday night in a special session to attempt to
resolve contentious issues revolving around a former employee's
claims of wrongful termination that occurred over two years ago.
According to information provided by KIC Chief Executive Officer
Georgianna Zimmerle, the Tribal Council meeting ended for lack
of a quorum when, in the middle of consideration of a motion
proposed to resolve the problem four members walked out. Tribal
Council members David Jensen, Elmer Makua, Carrie James and Norman
Arriola left the meeting, having earlier said that they doubted
the consultant's conclusions and they didn't trust any KIC staff.
Quoting a KIC news release, these same four Tribal Council Members
have previously ignored advice of legal counsel when they were
told there are no grounds for settlement and in any case the
statute of limitation has passed. The employee did not file a
wrongful termination suit during the two-year time period that
was available for her to do so. - More...
