Bert Sechrist, West-end property owner appeared re: County jurisdiction on private lands within an Indian Reservation. Mr. Sechrist is owner of Lot 5, in Gov. Lot 6, in the Plat of Evergreen Point Addition, recorded. in 1931. (Three miles south of Kalalock) He purchased the property with the intent of developing a campground facility and was advised by the Planning Commission there were no county zoning restrictions. He applied for a shoreline management permit, on which hearing was held, and no one appeared to object. He was told at that time that the county could not assert positive jurisdiction over this land, but would have no objections to his proceeding with the project as proposed. After that time, his survey team was "harassed.and threatened with arrest" by the Indians. and he was told that he could not. continue construction and would have to apply to .the Tri- bal Council for rezoning of the land from wilderness and forest designation. He now requests the county to declare their jurisdiction over the land and to afford protection for continuance of construction. He feels his civil rights are being violated by denying him the right to make a livelyhood with the use of this land for the purpose for which it. was purchased. After further discussion, Pros. Attny. Howard stated the county is not restricting the property owner, however, jurisdiction is questionable and the county cannot .revers:e their decision at this time. There are litigations before the Supreme Court now trying to decide j.urisdictionand until these cases are settled the A.G's Office will not submit an opinion. He further stated that it is Mr. Sechrist's responsibility to negotiate with the Tribal Council.or their attorney for compliance with their regula- tions until a decision is handed down by the courts. Board concurs. Mrs. Sechrist and Skip Becker, owner of Kalalock Lodge, also attended the meeting. Pros. Attny. Howard; Randy Durant, Dist. Sanitarian; Lyle Tinker, President, Lazy C Club; and Mr. & Mrs. R.P. Thornton appeared in relation to.the L.azy C Water System. Howard advised that he had talked with John Swift twice and Swift then had gone to Mark Spahr, Dist. Engineer, D.S.H.S~ with alter- natives to the origional plan for correction of the w.atersystem problems. Howard presented a copy of a letter to Swift from Spahr, dated July 3, 1975,. stating his proposal could be accepted by the Dept. under three specified conditons, if his plans and specifications are approved first. HOward said D.S.H.S. now needs either acceptance or rejection of the new proposal by the county commissioners. Mr. Tinker said the property owners in Division 3 are being denied their rights because the County Health Dept. refused to issue building and septic tank permits and he thinks the county shouldc.tell.Swift_thathe~has 30-60 days to do the job or his bond will be foreclosed. He also said that if the county accepts his new proposal they should request an increase in the rondo In addition, Tinker q.dvised that Swift has redesigned Division 3 and is selling lots in both Division 2 and 3. Durant advised that either plan - origional or revised - is acceptable to his department. The discussion was concluded with a motion by Commissioner Mercer, seconded by Commissioner O'Meara to have Pros. Attny. Howard send notice to John Swift, using Mark Spahr's letter dated July 3rd as reference, to submit plans and specifications along with a cost estimate and an increase in the value of the bond to cover the increase in cost, with a time limit of sixty (60) days for completion.
