By RON SELDEN (or the Missoulian POLSON Representatives from the four counties within the Flathead Reservation on Wednesday hashed over details concerning upcoming changes in a state-jurisdiction agreement with the Salish and Kootenai Tribes.

Under state Senate Bill 368, the tribes will soon regain sole authority over all reservation misdemeanor cases in which Indians are defendants. Now, the state has concurrent criminal jurisdiction over such matters. But, as Montana Attorney General Joe Mazurek and other officials noted at a meeting in Poison, good deal of work remains to ensure that the transition goes smoothly. Under the new law, the tribes may formally request the transfer of full misdemeanor authority as early as mid-October. Although the request could come later, Gov.

Marc Racicot has a maximum of six months to authorize the change once the tribal request is filed, Mazurek said. Attorneys and other officials from reservation counties, cities and towns on Wednesday broached a wide variety of details that need to be worked out, in addition to topics that Mazurek and his staff already have compiled. A separate meeting with tribal leaders also was slated. While it appears certain that only Indians who are members of federally recognized tribes will come under tribal misdemeanor jurisdiction, basic questions remain about the exact definition of misdemeanor and felony crimes under yet-to-be-aligned state and tribal criminal codes. Lake County Attorney Larry Nistler said that tribal prosecutors on more than one occasion have filed misdemeanor charges in tribal-member cases that likely would be tried as felony cases in state court.

He cited a general lack of communication between his office and tribal prosecutors as another problem. Mazurek, assistant Attorney General Deanne Sandholm, and John Connor; head of the state's grandchildren, Randall Floren, Deer-field, Linda Preston-Durado, Red Bluff, Kristina Floren-Brad-ford, Gresham, and David Preston, Anchorage; plus five greatgrandchildren.

Lake County Sheriff Joe Gel-drich said better communication is crucially needed because in many cases now, county or city police "are coming in the front door" at a crime scene, while tribal police "are coming in the back door." Other main topics, Mazurek and others said, include creating cross-deputization agreements if deemed necessary by both sides and developing joint investigative procedures, equal guidelines for penalties and restitution in state and tribal courts, and a procedure to sort out who makes charging decisions.

Cross-deputization, noted Ronan City Attorney Rich Geb-hardt, "is the biggest political issue we've got." Mazurek agreed, but said he felt cross-deputization "is absolutely essential' for the new system to work, even if separate compacts have to be reached with each law-enforcement entity. Now, only the Sanders County Sheriffs Office officially cross-deputizes any tribal police officers. whether the levels pose a health threat.
