Branch of Land Operations: We have twelve employees in Country Operations with ane vacancy and Burn has seven full time employees. Country Operations is currently involved in a big scale range country inventory in addition to the upgrading of all country data on our subcontract pasture leases. This involves a bang-up bargain of field work by about of the staff including the Land Operations Officer. The Ceremonious Engineering Technician provides a lot of assistance to the Realty Office for country commutation and fencing maps in addition to other surveying duties for the agency. Nosotros are also in the process of spraying for noxious weeds; which is an uphill battle because the large amount of rain nosotros have received this bound.

Our Burn Suppression Program is currently preparing for the upcoming fire season.

Flooding July 2008

Co-operative of Roads: Maintenance and repair of our BIA roads is our main priority at the present time due to the big amount of rain that nosotros take been received this leap and the flood harm that resulted from the intensive rain. Nosotros have five Engineering Equipment Operators. The majority of the roads on the Cheyenne River Sioux Reservation are gravel and under continuous utilise. We maintain a reservation larger than the Country of Connecticut on a budget that would be inadequate for nearly modest counties.

Branch of Social Services: The Branch of Social Services has traditionally been under funded and understaffed. We do the best that we can with a very limited corporeality of general assistance funding. We continue to provide the best services nosotros can considering our limited resource.

Co-operative of Facility Direction: The Branch of Facility Management has been scaled back significantly over the years. At one time this branch had over xx employees. In that location are merely ix people in the branch today with several positions vacant. This branch is likewise under funded.

Virtually recently we had a lot of roof leakage from the rain, causing a considerable amount of damage. Additionally, we are in the procedure of our normal repair of the school; replacing doors, electrical, and other parts. Nosotros are always in the constant process of repairing quarters, doing work orders; and the general upkeep of the grounds and main role building.
