These amendments include the following:

Guatemalan coffee as the "official coffee" of the Ford IronMan World
Championship [in 20071, indicating a lack of understanding of our
community, its gourmet coffee, its coffee farmers, and its heritage; and"

been amended to read as follows:
"BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, that the County Clerk shall forward
