WHEREAS, the previous version of Resolution 08-211-86 identified five (5) priorities of the Business Committee; however, priority one was a reflection of technical errorl and

THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Quinault Business Committee accepts and approves Attachment A , as it conforms to the elevation of priorities by the Business Committee, as the official Quinault Indian Nation Tribal Priority List for the period 2008-2012.
