9:52:23 AM Commissioner Skinner I would move to adopt this Memorandum Of Understanding and authorize the Chair to sign it contingent on the Mayor of Bozeman's signature.
9:52:35 AM Chairman Murdock Before we get a second there a couple, what I would call administrative changes. Chuck just mentioned one and there might be another one. Would your motion be amenable to having a couple of those "Whereas's" corrected?
9:52:48 AM Commissioner Skinner The final "Whereas" about the funding, yes I would be amendable to having that changed but I don't think we have to delay passage of this. The exhibit was in our office for the required amount of time and no public came to view it so I think if somebody wanted to see the exhibit they certainly could have.
9:53:14 AM Chairman Murdock So you're going to move to adopt it with a couple changes that we've discussed.
9:53:18 AM Commissioner Skinner The changes on the funding in the last "Whereas."
