Break for Open Agenda.

There was a mix up on the date of the Flowering Tree Request; the Council Secretary apologizes for any inconvenience this caused and Candance is willing to come back to the next Council Meeting. The item will be place on the March 20, 2007, agenda.

Question regarding the Paiser Farm and the equipment that was removed, since they know what was removed and who removed he was just wondering when the items will be returned. Also would like to know if the Tribe is looking into cell phone tower to be placed on top of the County A Water Tower and if so possibly bidding it out to different providers because he is not happy with the current provider’s service.

No action taken at this time.
