(1) Standing committees shall meet at dates, times and places selected by the committee with sufficient frequency to accomplish the task(s) assigned to them by the Tribal Council. The committee chair or the chair’s designee shall submit a notice of the date, time and place of a committee meeting to the Tribal office for updating on Committee tab of the Samish web page at least five working days prior to the meeting unless such notice is precluded by the emergency nature of the meeting. In such instances, the committee shall give the maximum amount of notice possible to committee members under the circumstances.

(2) All committee meetings shall be open to Tribal members except where required otherwise by law. In the event individual eligibility of a Tribal member for services is being discussed, the meeting shall be confidential unless the member expressly waives such confidentiality.

(3) Tribal citizens who attend committee meetings must comply with all applicable Tribal laws and policies. In the event a citizen is disruptive or otherwise interferes with the committee’s work may be removed from the meeting by the committee chair. [Res. 2023-10-012 § 2.408, 2023.]
