ODFW release - Commission meets July 11 in The Dalles - SALEM, Ore. – The Fish and Wildlife Commission meets Friday, July 11 at 10 a.m., at The Dalles Civic Auditorium (323 East 4th St., The Dalles).  See the agenda here. The meeting will also be livestreamed from the Commission page.  At Friday’s meeting, the Commission will be asked to consider whether to accept or deny a petition from several tribal nations to repeal or, alternatively, amend OAR 635-800-0300. This rule implements the “Memorandum of Agreement for Off-Reservation and Non-Trust Land Hunting, Fishing, Trapping, and Gathering with the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde Community of Oregon”. If the Commission accepts the petition, it will only initiate the rule making process; the Commission will not take action to repeal or amend the rule on July 11.  During the meeting, the Commission will hear presentations from the Petitioners and the Grand Ronde Tribe.  Per the Administrative Procedures Act, the public is invited to provide written comment upon OAR 635-800-0300. Comments are requested as to whether options exist for achieving the rule’s substantive goals in a way that reduces any negative economic impact on businesses.  No public testimony will be taken during the July 11 Commission meeting.
