1:17:01 PM Discussion between the Commission, Greg Sullivan, and Sean O'Callaghan
1:19:57 PM Commissioner White I would make a motion to, for the, I guess addition of this option to what we've got on the table anyway and that it could be done by owners that are different owners or the same owner. I mean I don't have a problem with it being the same owner that just wants to move these things across and the things that we talked about, at least the intent is that we've talked about today with the rural cluster opportunity is still there even if everything has been moved across that that should be part of it and allow. So my motion would be to approve this.
1:20:48 PM Commissioner Skinner Is your motion to limit it to one owner, or not?
1:20:51 PM Commissioner White No, it could be one owner, it could be multiple owners.
