BIG CYPRESS — On April 20, the Seminole Tribal Council held its Council meeting at the Herman L. Osceola gym.

The consent agenda consisted of 23 items, which included home site leases and business permits. These items are of a routine administrative nature and all 23 items unanimously passed in one vote.

Only two items were on the regular agenda. Both items passed.

At the conclusion of the open meeting, Executive Administrator Ken Fields announced to the Tribal Council that the Seminole Emergency Management Services (EMS) in Big Cypress had their first life-save. Fields gave a few details about the incident and the Council requested to meet the EMS staff involved in the rescue.

EMS Director Armando Negrin spoke to Council, who collectively decided that the EMS staff involved would be present at the next Tribal Council meeting.
