The chairwoman explained that the decision to move toward self-management was a natural evolution for the tribe and was similar to decisions made by other Northwest tribes.

Patty Kinswa-Gaiser, Chairwoman of the Cowlitz Indian Tribe ilani is a smoke-free facility with a luxurious 100,000 square feet casino floor and a Cowlitz tribe-inspired design. In the statement, Kinswa-Gaiser said the timing of the announcement 'provides ample notice for (the Cowlitz Tribe Gaming Authority) to begin a deliberate, professional and multi-step process, evolving ilani from its current fully-managed state to one where it is assisted with management and, ultimately, to independent self-management.'

Patty Kinswa-Gaiser, Chairwoman of the Cowlitz Indian Tribe, said: 'After careful consideration, the Cowlitz Tribal Gaming Authority has recommended, and the Cowlitz Tribal Council has approved, a decision to begin a multi-step process of transitioning ilani from an enterprise managed by the Mohegan Tribe to a self-managed enterprise.' They worked hard to ensure we took advantage of the maximum amount of incentives.The Cowlitz Indian Tribe announced Tuesday that it will end its six-year relationship with the Connecticut-based Mohegan Tribe, which oversees operations of its ilani casino in Ridgefield, Washington State. “Our Energy Trust team was so helpful in guiding us through the entire process. Young described the experience of working with Energy Trust as thorough. “Because the boilers have been working so well, it’s allowed us to do other work inside the casino to keep it looking and feeling brand new for our guests,” explained Jeff Young, ilani’s director of facilities. The new boilers require less maintenance, which frees up time for staff to focus on other tasks. The boilers were installed in the resort’s central utility plant, set off from the main building. The management at ilani took advantage of incentives to purchase three gas-fired condensing boilers to help with space and water heating. Working with Energy Trust helped make installing energy-efficient equipment during construction more affordable. At ilani Casino Resort, on the Cowlitz Indian Tribe’s 150-acre reservation, the management team knows the importance of being good energy stewards for their community.
