The first task is to submit <br />an "SB 18 tribal consultation list" reQuest to the Native American <br />Heritage Commission (NAHC) in Sacramento. This list can vary slightly <br />from other lists provided by the NAHC. The NAHC has 30 days to <br />respond with a list of tribes to contact for consultation. If the City has <br />already reQuested this list, the City can then proceed with a reQuest for <br />consultation with each tribe, which should be sent by formal letter via <br />return receipt and with a follow-up call from a City Department <br />Director/Head. (We have examples of this letter that we can provide to <br />the City). Once the tribes receive the City's reQuest, each tribe has up to <br />90 days to respond. We envision the tasks for compliance with SB 18 as <br />follows: <br />Task 3.1: Tribal Consultation List Request <br />Send tribal consultation list reQuest to the NAHC on behalf of the City <br />The following Tasks are only necessary if meetings are reQuested by the <br />tribes. Therefore, they are included in the scope and budget, but will be <br />performed only at the reQuest of the City: <br />Optional Task 3.2: Initial Face -to -Face Consultation (Meeting 1) <br />• If NAHC response includes tribes responding to the reQuest for <br />consultation, assist the City in setting up initial face-to-face <br />consultation with City staff and tribal representatives (Meeting I ) - <br />• Preparation for and attendance at Meeting I (assumes attendance by <br />a Director of Environmental Services/Environmental Project <br />Manager) <br />Optional Task 3.3: Meeting 2 <br />• Incorporate comments into map/plan document/EIR from Meeting I <br />(Assumes 4 hours) <br />• Assist in setting up second meeting with City staff and tribal <br />representatives (Meeting 2 or Tribe 2) <br />• Preparation for and attendance at Meeting 2 (assumes attendance by <br />a Director of Environmental Services/Environmental Project <br />Manager) <br />Environmental Impact Report for the Village Green Mixed Use Residential Community THE PLANNING CENTER I Page 2-3 <br />
