10. GREETINGS FROM THE LONG PLAIN COUNCIL We are pleased to present our Annual Report and Consolidated Audit to the Long Plain people for the fiscal year April 1, 2013 to March 31, 2014. We recognize the fiscal challenges that have been present with the absence of government operating budgets, financial statements and cash flow projections for the past few years. The Council and Senior staff have undertaken corrective measures to address this. We have also witnessed the absence of Annual Reports and Audits for the fiscal years 2010/2011 and 2011/2012. Highlights for the year; In May our Madison property was converted to reserve status. Long Plain was ordered by the Federal Court of Appeal to have a by - election for the office of Chief in July 2013. Dennis Meeches was elected in September 2013. In December of 2013 Long Plain experienced a financial crisis and was forced into making some difficult decisions which included substantial layoffs of government and corporate employees. We also accepted the resignation of our CGA in January 2014. Our economic outlook for 2014/2015 looks promising and we believe our financial situation will improve but we must take cautious approach as we move forward. There is much work to be done in all areas of government programs and the Council has resolved to work together for the benefit of all our people. Our corporation is continuing to provide strong support in social cart spending but again we have to be careful and that we work within our financial budgets. This has been a challenge and explains why it is so important that we must have operating budgets for all Long Plain Government and Corporate entities. Megwetch Long Plain Chief & Council
