Item 2. Consideration of Shell Oil Pre-Annexation Agreement on development principles. Prior
to discussion, Director Korn advised the Board he owns stock in Royal Dutch Company which
has a business relationship with Shell Oil Company, and stock in five competitors of Shell Oil
Company. Director Korn said this stock ownership was included in his annual Conflict of
Interest Form. General Counsel Kidman discussed the extent of stock holdings and business
relationship between Royal Dutch and Shell Oil Company. Mr. Kidman ruled that Director
Kom's Royal Dutch stock ownership did not represent a Conflict of Interest and did not
disqualify him from discussing or voting on this matter. Director Korn then said he will not
participate in discussion, even though it may not represent a conflict of interest.
Mr. Robertson and Mr. Gray presented a staff report on the draft Pre-Annexation Agreement.
The Board discussed the agreement.
On a motion by Director Scanlin, seconded by Director Fox, the Board of Directors voted 3-0-1-
1, with Director Korn abstaining and President Beverage absent, to authorize the Vice President
and Secretary to execute the Pre-Annexation Agreement with Shell Western E&P Incorporated,
subject to review and approval as to form by Legal Counsel.
