Sarah Palmer, historic preservation manager for the Coquille Indian Tribe, spoke during rebuttal and said the tribe’s archaeological concerns for the site had been resolved. She thanked local project researchers and volunteers and offered the tribe’s archaeological monitoring services pro bono, subject to the applicant adopting an inadvertent discovery plan.
"We are in support of the development of community facilities like this," Palmer said, and added the tribe is prepared to provide archaeological monitoring as a pro bono contribution "subject to their agreements for development of an inadvertent discovery plan." The commission acknowledged that collaboration and took the support into account during deliberations.
The offer of monitoring is recorded in the hearing record and will be available as a resource during permitting and site work if the applicant and staff finalize an inadvertent discovery plan and monitoring protocol.
