High cost for minimal maintenance estimated at $40,000 per year; tribe has indicated this provides additional financial burden. Implementation of programs would be impossible due to high cost for renovation and repair and zoning changes and tax regulations. Deeding now would divide the tribe as it seeks to comply with the Restoration Act. Adverse local non-Indian feelings would be heightened. This is contrary to Alexian Brothers desired goal.
