Commissioner Crosswhite called attention to the action taken by the board of commissioners on June 13, 1989 agreeing to split the cost 50/50, not to exceed $75,000.

After further discussion, a MOTION was made by Commissioner Hedrick stating that the board reconsider the original motion made on June 13, 1989 regarding the Tsumas matter, without any stipulations to what the new motion might contain.
