Re: PASSING OF FORMER LYTTON TRIBAL CHAIRPERSON MARGIE MEJIA
Dear Honorable Chairperson Andrew Mejia:
On behalf of the San Pablo City Council, I wish to extend our deepest condolences to you, the Tribal Council and the entire Lytton Rancheria B and of Pomo Indians (Lytton Tribe) on the recent passing of former Lytton Tribal Chairperson Margie Mejia.
During her 27-year tenure, former Chairperson Mejia was dedicated to developing the Lytton Tribe’s businesses, investments, infrastructure, and housing plans. She had tremendous influence and vision as a distinguished Tribal leader who was recognized throughout the U.S. for her countless contributions , and dev otion in advancing the economic future and self - sufficiency of the Lytton Tribe. Additionally, former Chairperson Mejia was instrumental in establishing Casino San Pablo and proving its tremendous success as a local Bay Area casino establishment in the Bay area region. Her compassion and leadership will be sorely missed.
Despite these difficult and unfortunate circumstances, I also wish to extend our full support to you as the new Chairperson of the Lytton Rancheria Band of Pomo Indians, and look forward to working with you and the Tribal Council in continued partnership. If you need anything, please know that our San Pablo City Council and City Administration are here at your service to support you and the Lytton Tribe.
