Chair Allen noted that Rep. Biskupski needed to leave the meeting and wanted to make a proposal. Dr. Wilko explained it was Rep. Biskupski's recommendation to reduce Indian Affairs to a negative $20,400 and give $20,400 to the Emergency Food Network.



Rep. Moss suggested on line 25, to take an additional $20,000 from the Smart Site Funding making it a negative $40,000. Then on line 3, put the $20,000 on Utah Humanities Council which would decrease it to a negative $25,000. Sen. Gladwell expressed concern with this recommendation.
