Ko-Kwel Wharf Rail Spur Development

Tribal One worked with the International Port of Coos Bay and K2 Exports, LLC, to build a rail spur to the Ko-Kwel Wharf export terminal. The collaborative effort of a tribal entity, a public agency and a private business opened a new avenue for timber companies in the Willamette Valley and other inland locations to reach export markets in Asia. The project widened the customer base for K2 Exports while increasing the volume of westbound freight carried by the Port’s Coos Bay Rail Link.

United Way Accounting Systems & Procedures Review

The United Way of Southwestern Oregon contracted with Tribal One Professional Services to conduct a thorough review of the agency’s accounting systems, processes and procedures in order to ensure its financial accountability to its stakeholders. Tribal One provided its final report to the agency on time and within budget parameters.

The product delivered to the client included:

A full review of the accounting system and software with recommendations regarding the appropriateness of the current systems and alternatives;
An evaluation of the systems, process and procedures for accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll and reporting to identify areas of internal control weakness and potential risk and to recommend improvements in efficiency and to meet industry best practices;
A review of existing internal controls to identify potential risks and make recommendations for improvements, which included suggested updates to the client’s finance policy and procedures guide;
A high-level review of the donation tracking processes and procedures to maximize consistency, accuracy and efficiency of tracking tools.

Ko-Kwel Wharf Waterfront Property Development

Tribal One initiated a master planning process for a 50.5-acre former industrial property that sits along the Coos Bay shoreline in North Bend, Oregon. The property that once housed a large timber mill and a manufactured gas plant, was purchased by the Tribe in 2004. A portion of the property was used to build an RV Park for The Mill Casino, which originally was converted from an abandoned plywood mill on the adjacent property. Another section of the property currently serves as a shipping terminal and is leased to a company that connects regional timber suppliers with overseas buyers in order to export logs to ports in Asia.

Tribal One applied for an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) grant to help move the site towards further development. This grant will be used to:

Finalize the environmental assessment and remediation work on the property. This information will make it possible to attain additional EPA development grants and better plan the uses on the property as the project moves forward.
Some funds from the EPA grant will be used for the master planning of the property. This document will guide the final development of the overall property.

Cedars at Bear Creek Development

Efforts to develop a 45-acre commercial site in South Medford, Oregon began with the acquisition of two commercial properties and the long-term lease of the Bear Creek Golf Course in 2012. Within months an application was filed with the Department of the Interior to take a 2.4-acre parcel into trust in order to convert an existing structure into a Class II casino. Since then, the Tribe acquired additional properties that are adjacent to the original purchase with the intention to develop these properties as part of an entertainment and hospitality destination.

While assisting the Coquille Tribe with the federal NEPA process and fee-to-trust application, Tribal One is conducting the necessary market research and project management activities to develop businesses on the remaining non-trust properties that will enhance the casino project.

Scope highlights include:

Tribal One is working with their consulting partners to develop a master plan for the overall site. This master plan will become part of the entitlement process and will help guide the ultimate buildout of the development.
The master plan will include surveying work as well as engineering and architectural renderings of the overall project.
Permitting work for the individual projects will begin as soon as the financing and master planning work has been completed.
