The subject of the meeting was per capita payments, US Senate Bill 2151, and its accompanying US House Bill 10221. A three item petition was filed by a group opposing the bill. The meeting held deliberation and then a vote to establish support for the bill. All 8 districts were present for the vote and 121 people voted for and 9 voted against.
