 In a statement issued yesterday, County
Administrative Officer Terri Daly announced that the Board of Supervisors did not submit
a last-and-best final offer to the tribe by the deadline of March 18th
at midnight. As a result, the Board will not participate in any
arbitration proceedings. The Board’s deadlocked vote on March 11th
resulted in the Buena Vista Rancheria of Me-Wuk Indians issuing the seven-day
notice to terminate negotiations. Because of the Board’s continued stalemate,
they could not come to a decision by Tuesday night’s deadline. “At this time, the Tribe has
indicated it will proceed with the binding arbitration process. A decision by
an arbitrator assigned by the American Arbitration Association could be made
within 30-90 days from today,” said Daly.
