13-7-103. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST.

The Tribe recognizes the importance of an independent Tribal Gaming Commission in maintaining a well-regulated gaming operation. The Commission shall be and act independently and autonomously from the Tribe in all matters within its purview. No prior or subsequent review by the Tribal Council of any actions of the Commission shall be required or permitted except as otherwise explicitly provided in this Ordinance. To avoid potential conflicts of interest between the operation and regulation of the gaming facility, the Tribe hereby finds that, at a minimum:

1. No member of the Tribal Council or Tribal Gaming Board of Directors shall serve on the Gaming Commission;
2. No member directly related to or living with any Tribal Council member or Tribal Gaming Board of Directors member may serve on the Gaming Commission as defined in Chapter 2 (5). Within thirty (30) days of the origination of a conflict, one of the affected parties must resign;
   
3. Members of the Gaming Commission are prohibited from accepting complimentary items form the gaming operation.
