carried unanimously. Mr. Iry Rustad from the Lake Agassiz Regional Council presented forms which need to be signed for the Community Development Block Grant for Kindred True Value Hardware.

Mrs. Stanton moved and Mr. Eckert seconded that the Chairman be authorized to sign the Designation of Depositary, Justification for amendment of CDBG grant agreement, Documentation of Environmental Assessment, the loan agreement and the Memorandum of Understanding.
