Thompson thanked outgoing council members Daniel Stone and Darrell Shay for doing a good job in their time of service to the Tribes.
Chairman Nathan Small said, “Thank you to Darrell for bringing his wisdom and knowledge to the council for the past two years. I think that helped set the pace for how we’re going to be moving along. I’d also like to thank Danny for his one year of service to the council. I guess a lot of us was hoping he’d run again, but he said he’s too young to stay here,” said Small jokingly, as the crowd laughed. “Again, thank you Danny for all that you’ve brought to the business council also.”
Re-elected LUPC sworn in were Casper Appenay and Adam Hill.
Spring Creek sang as Gifferd Osborne and Darrell Shay brought in the U.S. flag and Shoshone-Bannock Tribes flag.
