Commissioner of the tribe, game warden, environmental specialist,
and various volunteer positions on behalf of the tribal
council. From about September 1988 until June 1990, and again in
1994, petitioner earned $150 per week as Tobacco Commissioner.
Any expenses petitioner incurred in connection with services
performed on behalf of the tribal council were covered by a
reimbursement policy. Under the reimbursement policy, petitioner
was entitled to receive from the tribal council $75 for every
meeting he attended, even when there were multiple meetings in a
single day (meeting payments). The meeting payments were an
incentive to persuade people to attend meetings. Under the
reimbursement policy, petitioner was also entitled to claim
reimbursement for meals, travel mileage, lodging, airfare, and
other miscellaneous expenses. According to the reimbursement
policy, petitioner was required to submit a form detailing the
expenses he incurred, with attached receipts, and requesting the
meeting payments he was entitled to receive. Petitioner kept
track of his expenses by keeping calendars and receipts.
Sometime around February 1992, the tribal council stopped
making reimbursements to petitioner. Petitioner stopped
submitting reimbursement requests around August 1993.
