Mission Statement The Menominee Tribal Maintenance Department strives to provide professional, technical, and non-technical support and maintenance services to all tribal programs to create and maintain comfortable, safe, and functional environments. The Menominee Tribal Maintenance Department maintains/manages the Menominee Indian Tribe?s physical plant and assets through efficient utilization of available resources to ensure that the Menominee Indian Tribe can fulfill its mission.
Department Overview The Menominee Tribal Maintenance Department is responsible for the preservation and upkeep of several tribal buildings that include Tribal Headquarters, Gordon Dickie Center (FIC), Legal Services, Law Enforcement Center, Tribal Courts, Neopit Headstart, Library, and Recreation Center. Maintenance and Housekeeping staffs are provided for each facility through this department. The Tribal Maintenance Department staffing includes the, Maintenance Director, Office Manager, Receptionist/Secretary, Inventory/Work Order Clerk, Heating/Cooling Technician, 4 General Maintenance Workers, Maintenance/Housekeeper, 2 Lead Housekeepers (part time) and 5 Housekeepers (part time). One of the most important aspects of the Menominee Tribal Maintenance Department is the maintenance of facilities under its management. If facilities are not adequately maintained on a regular basis, the long term viability of our tribal programs is threatened and the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin along with its tribal members will lose a valuable resource. In order not to lose this valuable resource, the Menominee Tribal Maintenance Department utilizes a computerized software system program called HDS. HDS enables the Tribal Maintenance Department to monitor and schedule routine, deferred, and preventive maintenance. It will also track work requests and material inventory. All Tribal Departments that pay into the indirect cost pool can request work orders through the Inventory/Work Order Clerk (799-5176) or through the Tribal Office Receptionists? Station (799-5100). Funding for the Menominee Tribal Maintenance Department?s budgets is funded through a number of means. The Keshena Law Enforcement Maintenance Budget is funded through the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA). The Headquarters, FIC, Legal Services, Recreation and Library Maintenance Budgets are funded through space rent collections. The Tribal Courts and the Neopit Headstart Maintenance Budgets are funded through tribal appropriation. The Maintenance Department has kept expenditures as minimal as possible for all budgets that are funded from space rental collections and tribal appropriation.
