Good morning, everyone. Good morning, members Vollendroff and Garrett. I'm here to present the tribal cannabis compacts that we've recently completed with the Lummi. Nation. the Lummi Nation worked with us throughout the beginning of this year, part of last year, and we were able to reach a successful agreement in which they passed on their and via resolution number 2024 Dash 039 on April 22 2024. So I would like to ask the board to please consider authorizing this so that we can move forward with it.

We'll have it up for formal consideration tomorrow. Right and do that. It can you just give a sense of we've had a few over the last year or so generally follow the same it changes that we've seen in the others on Dispute Resolution and yeah, shoots. Okay,

this actually is a very strong dispute resolution process involved in it as well as the most favored nation process. And I think it's particularly important that the opportunities for both the agency and the tribe to be able to meet and come to agreement on issues, it's really important that this one pass through and I think it's a good example for other tribes when they're looking at the upcoming changes that we have been making to the dispute resolution piece.

Right. Any questions for Dr. Conwell on this? Okay, so we'll see tomorrow along with some members of the tribal council here. Okay, great. Thank you. Good work on this. Appreciate it.
