DELEGATE JONATHAN NEZ
there are many chapter closed. Olijato closed cuz of asbestos and we appreciate parks and welcome center for meetings. i’d like to make amendment, page 1 to delete total $900,000 cuz add number 4 for $500,000 from Reserves for Oljaito for architectual designs. We are very hopeful that Utah Navajo Trust Fund will be unfrozen.

DELEGATE LEONARD TSOSIE
I was going to vote for this but now that we are piling on, I’m going to vote no. You go into feeding frenzy especially when not spending your money but the Navajo people’s money.

DELEGATE KATHERINE BENALLY
Rules says if Naabi makes amendment then that amendment moves forward. (Benally was talking about Delegate Mel Begay’s request for funding for his chapter house.)
