The Mohawk Council of Akwesasne

hereby gives notice of Community Consultation

Meetings for the proposed draft

‘Akwesasne Traffic Law’.

The ‘Akwesasne Traffic Law’ Working Task Group has completed their mandate to develop a comprehensive traffic law that has been presented to Council for acceptance in principle in accordance with the Law Enactment Procedural Regulations Section 10.0 Amendment and Repeal of an Akwesasne Law. The proposed draft was accepted-in-principle at the July 31, 2013 General Meeting by Mohawk Council Resolution.

The proposed draft law will now proceed to Phase III of the law enactment

process.

The Akwesasne Justice Department

will be mailing copies of the proposed

draft ‘Akwesasne Traffic Law’ to every

household. If you have not received a

copy in your mailbox, you can request

a copy of the draft law to be mailed to

you, personally. Contact the Akwesasne

Justice Department at 613-575-2250 x.

2400 with the relevant mailing address

so a copy can be delivered to you. Residents are asked to review the proposed

draft law prior to the Community Consultation Meetings.

Following the review period for the

proposed changes, a series of three Focus Meetings (Community Consultation Meetings) will be held, one in each

district of Akwesasne. These meetings

will provide community members the

opportunity to ask questions of Council

and the Working Task Group on the

proposed draft law, as well as giving the

community the opportunity to provide

comments and suggestions.

The sessions will be recorded and the

comments will be given to the Mohawk

Council of Akwesasne for consideration. The Working Task Group will then incorporate any recommendations by the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne, with the draft changes being reviewed by the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne’s Legal Advisor. Once complete, the changes will be presented to Council for adoption and/or for further revisions.

If the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne

accepts the revisions/recommendations, a Mohawk Council Resolution will be

presented at a future General Meeting

to accept the final draft in principle for

ratification. Once accepted, a date will

be set for a vote by secret ballot at a Special General Meeting or vote by Referendum.

The dates of ratification vote by either

method must be posted at least thirty

days in advance. A full text of the proposed law will be published in the local

newspaper and on the Mohawk Council

of Akwesasne website.
