Sydney Krennick, filling in for the Secretary of Natural Resources, reported that the department is actively working on parks-and-recreation efforts across the reservation and expects to support projects soon.

In response to Councilor Callison asking whether the council is closer to funding and supporting parks-and-recreation projects referenced in the State of the Nation address, Krennick said, “Yeah. Absolutely. We are working on that actively... So that's right. It'll be the big 1, but we're definitely working on it actively.”
