SUMMARY
Synopsis of Senate Indian Affairs Committee Amendment
On page 1 line 24 the amendment inserts “and Navajo capital improvement project offices”.
This does not change the substance of the original bill.
Synopsis of Original Bill
Senate Bill 1009 appropriates $260 thousand from the general fund to the Indian Affairs
Department for the purpose of establishing a capital improvement project offices and staff to be
located in the eastern Navajo agency area to monitor and provide technical assistance to Navajo
Nation chapters for capital projects.
Significant Issues
The Navajo Nation currently has 245 projects with a total appropriation of over $18.3 million.
$10.6 million is still uncommitted and $2.6 million subject to reversion on June 30, 2005. IAD
has 2.5 FTE devoted to capital projects. It is anticipated that with additional technical assistance
and management more projects will be finished.
