Such list shall be maintained for use by, and shall be made available upon request by, Tribal members and residents of the YIR.

(c) YTEP shall seek to secure grant funds, including low-interest loans, from outside sources to assist persons who must comply with the requirements set out in subsections (a) and (b) of this section:

(d) The lack of availability of such funds shall not excuse compliance with the requirements of subsections (a) and (b) of this section. [Ord. 12 § 6.6, adopted, 4/7/2005.]
