DNRC Director Amanda Kaster introduced agenda item 1125-7 seeking board approval to file objections on water rights. The Land Board entered executive session at 9:26 a.m. pursuant to MCA 2-3-203(4) to discuss litigation strategy and returned to public session at 9:48 a.m.
When the public meeting resumed, Secretary of State Christi Jacobsen moved to approve item 1125-7; Commissioner of Securities and Insurance James Brown seconded.
