In an impromptu press con­ference held at his Capitol Hill Office, Guerrero appeared peeved in the lightof a subpoena issued last week by the IG whereby the chief executive was “commanded” to appear before Regional Audit Supervisor Walter B. Haught at the IG Suboffice, on December 23, 1991.

The Commonwealth Legisla­ture is currently entertaining an­other two golf course land leases involving a total of360 hectares of Commonwealth public land in both the island of Rota and Saipan.

The Rota legislative Delega­tion has scheduled a public hear- in g today at the Rota Court House to discuss an unexecuted final draft for a 150-hectare lease proposal entered into by the

Marianas Public Land Corpora­tion and NICO Corporation for the planned Emperor Golf and Country Club.

Along with the said project, also to be considered for legisla­tive scrutiny is the final draft lease agreement between the MPLC and the United Micronesian Development As­sociation on the leasing of 210 hectares of public land in Marpi for another golf resort develop­ment.

Federal authorities arrested on Friday two Tinian men who have been named in a grand jury indictment as con­spirators of alleged drug dealers Francisco B. Mendiola and David B. Evangelista.

The indictment on Henry Pangelinan San Nicolas and William C. Reyes were or­dered unsealed on Friday af­ter their arreston Tinian. Both San Nicolas, an employee of Senator Francisco M.

Land leases pife u p .. H Continued from page 1

the Obyan-Naftan area drew varied reactions from govern­ment and business sectors, as well as private individuals who argued that the proposed devel­opment must not preempt land exchange cases pending wi th the MPLC.

According to Concepcion’s letter to House Speaker Pedro R. DL. Guerrero and Senate President Joseph S. Inos, the proposed Emperor Golf and Country Club will be an addition to the three resort and golf course development projects that have already been approved for the island of Rota.

The project, the final draft of which has been reviewed and approved by the legal counsels

of both the MPLC and NICO as to form and legality, requires the approval of the Legislature as mandated by Article XI, 5(d) of the Constitution, as amended.

Says Congepcion, “This pro­posed project will not only con­tribute to the overall develop­ment of the island but will en­hance the development of the eastern part of the island to cre­ate spillover effects on the sur­rounding area.”

NICO Corporation has re­portedly agreed to undertake the cost and operation of a regional waste water treatment system that has a sufficient capacity to serve the need and the growing urban area of Sinapalo nearby.

It was said that the proposed

150-hectare lease will not affect the on-going surveying of the Rota Agricultural Homestead Program as provided by Public Law 7-11.

The lease agreement points to 5774,091 base rent for a period of25 years or a specific percent­age of gross receipts derived from operating the hotel, plus other benefits to the community.

But while the NICO project may encounter intensive scru­tiny from the Rota delegation chaired by Representative Anto­nio 0 . Quitugua.UMD A’sMarpi project is expected to breeze through the approval process because of an urgent need for an immediate solution to the relo­cation of the Puerto Rico Dump,

a problem that the developer pro­poses to solve with the construc­tion and operation of a sanitary landfill in the area.

“The urgency of the need to close and relocate the present landfill in Puerto Rico to Marpi is said to warrant that the proposed UMDA lease agreementbe given a high priority in your legislative agenda,” said Concepcion to the leaderships of the House and the Senate.

Along with the golf resort project, UMDA has proposed in return for the privilege of the leasing of the Marpi public land, to undertake the costof construct­ing and operating the sanitary landfill at the designated site.

According toConcepcion, there

are still a number of issues and details concerning the develop­ment, operation and maintenance of the proposed landfill, which must be worked out.

“So in this regard, only the draft lease agreement is being trans­mitted to the Legislature,” said Concepcion.

The Office of the Governor, he said, will be the one providing the lawmaking body with the draft sub-agreement for the sanitary landfill which is an integral component of the proposed lease agreement.

Asked to comment on why the sudden upsurge of land lease proposals transmitted to the Leg­islature, Concepcion gave a quick, “We’re just doing our job.”

Governor on IG . . m Continued from page 1

“There is no wrongdoing in the CNMI government for the IG to come here and audit lo­cally-generated funds,” said the governor. “We feel that local taxpayers records, which they want us to surrender, should not be opened up for the audit since this would violate Common­

wealth laws on taxpayer confi­dentiality.”

The governor clarified that he has no opposition for the IG to come in and audit any and all Covenant funds, grants, and federally funded programs but hinted a great reservation on the audit on local resources, since

this would allegedly transgress local autonomy.

“We have our own Constitu­tion, our own local Common­wealth laws to abide with. Some of the wishes of the IG is con­trary to our local laws such as that on the Privacy Act. So al­though US law provides for the audit, I feel that that law was unilaterally amended without proper consultation with our government,” said he.

It was also argued that upon the termination of the trustee­ship of the islands, the said pro­visions should not be imple­mented anymore since there is already a covenant agreement that promotes self-government.

Furthermore, the chief execu­tive questioned why such an audit is only being asserted to the CNMI, and not with other states.

“As far as I am aware, local funds of other slates are not be­ing subjected to such audits. I believe there is some disparity somewhere,” he said.

“We have to make a thorough evaluation on the wisdom of appearing before the IG. But should wc need to go to court, we will go to c 'urt if only to get a ruling on wh. the issue of seif-govemment stands and the

extent of the IG authority lies,” Guerrero maintained.

“MrJRichards was saying in his visit, that he is mandated by the existing statutes as set forth by the US Congress. What I can say is that Commonwealth Con­stitution and laws also mandates me to protect our own people’s rights. And I am prepared to go to jail pushing for these rights,” said Guerrero.c9Marianas cVariety'

O b y a n B e a c h p r o j e c t d r a w s v a r i e d r e a c t i o n sSome of the most outspoken

members of the Saipan com­munity have also expressed their disgust over the way the MPLC have decided to lease about 90 hectares of land to the Haas and Haynie Group.

Saipan lawyer Ken Govendo in his testimony during the Fri­day public hearing alleged that the MPLC apparently had not fulfilled its fiduciary duty and moral obligation as the caretaker of public lands.

The lawyer decried the need to preserve the remaining public

land for the future generation. Like many members in the com­munity, Govendo believes that instead of designating the area as a proposed golf course, gov­ernment officials should instead expedite the paperwork to con­summate the numerous land ex­change deals that are still pend­ing in the MPLC.

“This land (Obyan) belongs to the indigenous people and must be saved for future homesteads,” Govendo said.

A testimony delivered by the Executive Vice-President of J.

C. Tenorio Enterprises Inc. Annie T. Sablan compared the moves made by the current leg­islators to theiractions when they listening to the opinions of the public on the Shimizu and the Niizeki land deals.

“The hearings are a classic example of callous disregard for public opinion regarding public land leases and exemplified a repulsive auitude of blatant ne­glect of fiduciary responsibility that some of our elected officials chose tooperateby,” Sablan said in her testimony.

In the testimony presented during the public hearing by Acting Natural Resources Di­rector Gene A. Santos and Fish and Wildlife Chief Arnold I. Palacios, not only will a native limestone forest habitat be dam­aged but the endangered Night­ingale Reed Warbler will also be affected by the said development.

While there have been times when the MPLC allegedly com­mitted “inadvertent oversights” in some projects, Palacios said the lease of a part of the Naftan Conservation area to the Hass'

and Haynie management is not anymore due to the “MPLC’s inadvertent oversight.”

Historic Preservation Officer Michael A. Fleming on the other hand testified that “Obyan is one of the few remaining public beaches readily available to the local population for fishing, shelling and general family ori­ented activities.

Fleming testified that an “im­portant cultural resource will be lost to the people” if the Haas and Haynie project be permitted

The Senate and the House of Representatives recendy agreed to recommend the passage of a legislative initiative that will increase the annual budget ceil­ings of the lawmaking body and the Legislative B ureau, but only after a number of revisions from the original measure was made.

Meeting as a conference committee, select House and Senate members deliberated on House Legislative Initiative No. 7-3 and decided to enter more amendments to the original measure.

It was the third time that amendments were suggested on the initiative, after standing committees of both houses separately came up with their versions of the proposed mea­sure that will seek to increase allocations for the Legislature.

The Committee supports the findings of the Legislature that the current ceiling on the bud­gets for both the Legislature and the Legislative Bureau do not account for inflation or the addi­tional membership in the House respiting from the Reapportion- ment Act that was recently passed into law.

The present ceiling of $2.8 million has been imposed upon the lawmaking body since 1985, with no other mechanism for increase other than a constitu­tional amendment.

It was observed that during this time, the budget of the ex­ecutive branch of government has continuously increased prompting the House to come up with an initiative that will in­crease the budget ceiling through balloting.

The Committee believed that a continued disparity in the leg-

islative budget would result in an impairment of the services pro­vided by the Bureau to the Leg­islature, and will likewise impair the lawmaking body’s ability to adequately serve the public.

It was therefore agreed upon that the ceilings on these budget must be increased, since this would enable the B ureau to serve the Legislature better by ex­panding its responsibilities to include all necessary services.

In a report to House Speaker Pedro R. DL. Guerrero and Senate President Joseph S. Inos, the Joint Conference Committee co-chaired by Representative Jesus T. Attao and Senator Paul A. Manglona, suggested revi­sions to be incorporated into H.L.I. 7-3, H.C.S. 1, S.C.S. 1, C.C.S.l.

An amendment to Section 10 of the measure was added to eliminate existing language pro­

hibiting salary increases for legislators that exceed the per­centage change in a composite price index.

This amendment will expand the change in the legislator’s salary to be based upon the per­centage change in an accepted consumer price index plus 25% of the total, or that based upon the recommendations of an ad­visory commission established by law to make such recom­mendations.

Another amendment entered is is in Section 16 (a), meant to increase the budget ceiling from the existing S2.8 million to S3.6 million per year, and additionally to allocate $225,000 to the House to accommodate the increase in its membership.

The amendment was also meant to provide that the budget may be restrictively increased based on the percentage change

in an accepted consumer price index prepared by the Director of Commerce and Labor.

Official representation ex­penses were also established and distributed to each member as follows: presiding officers, $25,000; Other officers and chairmen, $15,000; and other members, $10,000.

Not to be included in the budget ceiling are expenditures such as salaries, housing, interisland travel, and other personnel benefits; official rep­resentation allowances; dues for membership in regional and in­ternational governmental orga­nizations; and senatorial district delegation funding.

A new Section 16 (c) is added to provide for a minimum guar­anteed allocation to each mem­ber of 550,000 from the S3.6 million budget for the opera-

The Army and Air Force Ex­change Services, also known as the AAFES PX, will resume op­erations after it was reportedly shut down last month due to plaguing operational problems.

AAFES Operations Manager Joanne Borja said the facility will be opened weekly only on Mondays and Tuesdays from 9 a.m. to 5 in the afternoon. Borja said in a press release that opera­tions will be limited until a full­time operations manager can be found locally.

Interested persons who want to apply for the position are en­couraged to fill out an applica­tion form which will be made availableby next week, thepress release stated.

The move to resume Saipan’s PX facility, located at the U.S. Army Reserve compound in Sadog Tasi, was made as part of the area AAFES efforts to estab­lish a permanent outlet on Saipan

to serve military retirees, active component members and their families and other eligible per­sons and members of the Re­serves and National Guard.

The facility was reportedly beset by supply problems which, can be traced to the procurement and shipping of goods from Guam to Saipan.

According to Washington Representative Juan N. Babauta who brought the issue to military officials, one problem was that supplies were only coming in on a periodic basis and that supplies reportedly sit at anchorage points for quite a span of time.

During his November visit to take part in the902 talks, Babauta said he was surprised to learn that the facility was then about to close down, this was despite the assurances made by the Pacific region’s military brass.

Babauta also said military of­ficials have also indicated their plans of expanding the Saipan facility.

composed of Edwin Bias, 19 of San Vicente; Dominic S. Bias, 19 of Dandan; Vicente M . Aldan, 22; Joseph A. Crisostimo, 18 and Gordon T. Taitingfong, 21, all from Koblerville who were arrested, booked and later re­leased by police.

The five men allegedly caused the damage of the United. Engineering’s barracks in Koblerville. Two cars were also damaged during an alleged riot.

F u n d r a i s e d

The Northern Mariana Is­lands Retirement Fund recently implemented an increase in the amount of contribution a gov­ernment employer must turn in for government retirees to 17.88 % of payroll in an attempt to offset the impact of the new Retiree Law on the Fund’s cof­fers..

This was learned from Re­tirement Fund Administrator Tomas B. Aldan in a letter to Senate President Joseph S. Inos, wherein the former solicited the latter’s support and under­standing of the program.

The Board of Trustees of the Fund, in its regular meeting last month, adopted the new employer’s retirement contri­bution rate, which reflected an increase of .22% over last year’s rate of 17.66%.

According to Aldan, the in­crease in the employer’s contri­bution rate was brought about by a new provision in Public Law 7-39 which lowered the eligibility age of retirees for cost of living allowances from 62 to 55 years old.

“There is a need to increase the rate to counter the increase in the unfunded liability of the government as brought about by the new law,” said Aldan in a telephone interview.

The new law offers very lib­eral benefits for the retirees and is expected to increase the unfunded liability to some $8 million dollars in the near fu­ture, and this is because of the expected turnout of more retir­ees that may seek benefits from the Fund.

In his message to Inos, Aldan said the employer’s contribu­tion could have decreased to 16.28% it not for the new law that lowered the COLA allow­ance eligibility from age 62 to 55.

Meanwhile, the Fund has withheld the implementation of a provision in the law that would allow retirees under the Older Americans Act go back to gov­ernment service without losing their retirement benefits.

Also, another provision will enable retired elected officials to receive a separate COLA apart from the COLA mandated to them as regular government employees.

A constitutional amendment that takes away the benefits of a retiree after 60 days of reemployment was superceded by the new law thereby allow­ing an alleged “double com­pensation” for rehired retirees.

A c t i o n o n p i e c e m e a l p o l l c e r t i f i c a t i o n d e f e r r e dThe bill also calls for the is- to winning candidates as soon as

suance of certificates of election tabulation has been completed.

L ic e n s in g a p p l ic a t io n f o r e x a m J a n . I

Senate leaders have deferred action on a proposed statute which aims to allow the Board of Elections to certify the results and issue certificates of election for those offices which have no voter challenges.

The proposed amendment to 1 CMC Section 6414 will allow the Board of Elections (BOE) to make the official announcement of the election results for those offices which have no voter challenges or other proceedings affecting ballots has been initi-

ated.The current statute prevents

the BOE from announcing the official results of any local or Commonwealth-wide election until all ballots cast in the CNMI have been counted.

According to the proposed law, the restriction on the Board creates the very real possibility that a protracted voter challenge or other proceedings affecting ballots could prevent the Board from certifying winning candi­dates as elected thus, preventing

them from assuming their posts.

The bill offered by House Speaker Pedro R. Guerrero, calls for the Board to issue an official public announce­ment of the results for offices which have not been chal­lenged.

The Board will however hold the official announcement of the results of offices which have been challenged by voters pending resolution of the mat­ter.

The Board of Professional Licensing wishes to inform he general public that it would be giving the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) Fundamentals of Engineering Examination (EIT), Fundamentals of Land Surveying (LSIT), Principles

and Practice of Engineering (Civil, electrical and Me­chanical) and Principles and Practice of Land Surveying on April 10 - 11, 1992.

Applications to take the examination must be sub­mitted to· the Board by January 1, 1992.

Please contact the Board office at 234-5897 or come by our office located at the 2nd floor, Design Florist Building, San Jose, Saipan, for inquiries.

Phase I ofZoningprocessalreadycompleted

The Commonwealth Zoning Board is now moving into Phase II of its three step process for the adoption of the zoning regula­tions for Saipan.

Zoning Administrator Cindy Camacho said the Zoning Board and the Zoning Advisory Council are already reviewing the data that has been collected from over 30 public meetings, background studies, research and public com­ments which will be the basis for the formulation of Saipan’s zon­ing regulations and land use plan.

The draft documents are cur­rently being refined and adapted to be workable within the cultural and political realities of Saipan.

Once the Zoning Board has re­viewed the land use plan and zoning regulations, they will again be presented to the community at a series of public hearings which will be held within the villages and with other civic and business organizations. The documents will then be further modified and re­fines based on the comments ob­tained from the public during the scheduled meetings.

The consultant team for Phase II of the project is being managed by Lane Kendig Inc. and includes Juan Tenorio Inc. The Kendig firm will be drafting all the maps while the Tenorio firm will play a major role in local research, community liason and education efforts.

The Zoning Board has, since fall of 1990, been working with Phase I of the thrcc-tiercd pro­cess. There have been radio pre­sentations and information of zoning that have been heard and printed in all of the island news and broadcast media. They were done to acquaint the public with some of the major issues that zon­ing will address.

At present, the Zoning Board is already conducting the final se­ries of village meetings to intro­duce the Saipan community to zoning.

The Zoning Board have also planned an ambitious schedule for the final phases of the review of the zoning regulations. Phase II is scheduled to be completed by March and Phase III will be un­derway by then.

It is expected that the Zoning Board and the Zoning Advisory Council will be completing their review of the draft zon ing regula­tions and the land use plan. The final product will then be the cre­ation of the zoning map.

The full presentations to the public of the documents and the revisions that have been made based on public comments arc scheduled to be completed by early Spring. At that time, the Zoning regulations, map and land use plan will have been presented to the Saipan Legislative Delega­tion for approval.

Despite testimonies from those who have shown opposition to the project, government agencies on the other hand have voiced their opinion to have the land leased to the developer as the proposed golf course will not only boost the local tourism market but also, increase the revenue earned by the CNMI yearly.

Citing thebenefits that both the government and the people can derive from the proposed project,

officials of the Commonwealth Development Authority said the projectisawelcomedevelopment will it help diversify our local economy which is heavily depen­dent on Japanese tourism and in­vestments.

The same sentiment was also echoed by the Marianas Visitor’s Bureau who saw the project as a means to “enhance the fledgling tourism industry for the CNMI”.

Both the Zoning Board and the Division of Environmental Quality have sough t the legislature to hold their decision on theproject pending the fulfillment of several requirements which the two agencies are asking for.

ond place honors in the same event. Gradinetti also won sec­ond in the 50 meter backstroke with a time of 58.45

amassed 84 points Monday to open up a one-point edge over Double Tee in the Fil-B division as the 42nd Annual Fil-Am In­ternationa! Golf Team Cham­pionship began last week in Baguio City, in the Philippines.

The tournament is being played at Camp John Hay and Baguio Country Club courses, both located in the so-called “City of Pines.”

Joining the top performers in the first round of the six-day

tournament, which was organized by the Republic of the Philippines Golf Association (RPGA), were Baguio Country Club, Sandtrappers, WSFM 92.3, Sioson Golfers, Jasnatanaga, and Seoul Survivors.

Balanced scoring and a tough defense were the key factors as the A.D. Enterprises dribblers edged out the highly-touted, Joy- Cleofas-led Norpac Builders, 95-89 in semifinal basketball action of the 8th annual MARPAC-AMBROS cage tournament at the Civic Center open court in Susupc.

With prized scorer Edgar Tadeo hitting the clutch hits cn route to a 20-point total output, AD once again breezed into the top slot of the eight-team semi­final round to break an erstwhile three-way lie with Norpac and idle Jayfer International. Norpac’s Joy Cleofas turned out to be his team’s best scorer also with a 20-point output.

AD now sports a 2-0 win-loss

card with Jayfer following a close second in the team standings, as of December 15, 1991. Norpac became fourth in the running with a 1-1 slate.

Tying for second spot is Marfran Enterprises who dealt Emerald/FT its first loss in the round, 96-64.

Perennial topscorer Joey Alvarado once again played a good game netting in 19 points to keep his team in the running for the top slots in the team rankings. Emerald’s Bernie Abadilla scored a team high 17 points, but that was not enough to anchor his team to a decent showing.

The first game of in the triple card featured a protest-marred ending which was decided only

i n the dying seconds of the game, with MPI Home Improvement' ekeing out a precarious 90-89 cliffhanger win over PDL Enter­prises. PDL had the game under protest on account of a judgment call of one of the game officials.

PDL’s Tony Alegre was his usual aggressive self, coming up with a night-high 38 point pro­duction to dwarf his counterpart in the opposing team, Noel Remullano, who scored 23 points in the hotly contested game.

The loss relegated PDL in the cellar with ano-win, one-lossslate. The win earned MPI the fifth slot.

Games for Sunday will pit de­fending champion R.B. Electri­cal versus Emerald/FT in the first game, while Jayfer will be up against Marfran.

NMI Age group record with a time of 44.36 in the 50 meter breast stroke event while Heong Ji Jang of Grace Christian Acad­emy came in second to Jordan with a time of 1:01.82. Also in the same event, Andre Nimigan finished first in the Jr. High divi­sion with a time of 49.03.
