The Lac Courte Oreilles (LCO) Tribal Governing Board (TGB) is proactively developing a Tribal Financial Contingency Plan to prepare for any potential federal administrative actions in the coming weeks. The plan is to ensure the continuity of essential programs and services for the LCO community despite any possible disruptions. 

The LCO Planning/Grants and Accounting Departments are collaborating with the TGB to assess potential impacts and strategize accordingly. As an initial step, a survey has been distributed to TGB members to identify and prioritize programs, services, and expenses that may be affected. The goal of the planning effort is to maintain operations without disruptions to tribal members or community services. 

The next steo includes holding a Director’s Meeting for all Tribal Program and Entity Directors on Friday, March 7, 2025, at 9 a.m. in the Peter Larson room to be informed and instructed on how to develop individual departmental or entity plans as well as to provide input to the Tribal Governing Board. 

The LCO TGB  remains committed to proactive planning and resilience in the face of uncertainty, reinforcing its dedication to serving the community.
