The Final Reading took place at the Golden Age Club on Thursday, 26 Enn�ska/

Once the law was read into the public record, a question-and-answer period took place followed by a formal, unanimous approval of the Amendments by the half-dozen community members present.

The Amendments were read into the record by Vernon Goodleaf and Chief Kahsennenhawe Sky-Deer on behalf of the KLCC, and Angus Montour, a former Electoral Officer. The proposal was accepted and entered the Community Decision Making Process in February 2012.
