Just $3 m for frmr Freeze & NPL

DELEGATE PHELPS
We need more time to develop budgets for chapters.

SPEAKER NAIZE
Assign staff to help Phelps.

DELEGATE JONATHAN NEZ
maybe compromise, since PHelps has budgets for $3 m for frmr Freeze & NPL.

B&F has amendment #3, $10 m Infrastructure Development Fund, which is for buildings/chapters so put Cameron, Chilchinbeto, Chichiltah, Tonalea there for funding.

DELEGATE LEONARD TSOSIE
Thot $10 m for administrative buildings that were closed down. Otherwise, each delegate has need for chapter. I have big list. I represent 8 chapters.

And how can you say this is in order when there’s a blank line. Instructions to Delegate Phelps is that it is out of order instead of go and fix.

That is my point of order. Rule out of order and let’s go onto next amemdment.

SPEAKER NAIZE
I believe we are in order.

DELEGATE PHELPS
We will make clean and to point. for $3 m, waiting for Chief of Staff ARbin Mitchell to sign budget forms. Delegate K. Benally and I willing to take off chapters. So focused on original intent which is $3 million for frmr Freeze & NPL.

DELEGATE
During Naa’biki’yati’ Committee, it was clarified that these amendments are Council amendments, not programs. It’s our amendments and we will own up to them.

Just because doesn’t support amendment, doesn’t mean have to go beaucratic on us.

DELEGATE LEONARD TSOSIE
Phelps needs motion to withdraw his original amendment.

AFTER DEBATE ON COUNCIL FLOOR, COUNCIL CALLS RECESS:
MOTION TO RECESS, voting at 3:14 pm
9-9, Speaker Naize opposes so Vote is 9 in favor, 10 opposed
