28 October
2024 I I get a motion to I make a motion
[5:16]
to approve the resolution of
support Second any discussion the only
[5:23]
discussion piece I have you know kicked
around one of the ideas regarding the
[5:27]
plan that we have out towards br
or is there any constraint on this that
[5:32]
would prevent us from using using these
funds for the development of that land
[5:35]
because it's probably not or
more or do we need to adjust that in
[5:41]
order to be able to leverage those funds
potentially for that location why
[5:47]
would property owned by the town
property owned by Town limits are owned
[5:51]
by the town that might we've got land
that could really be utilized for
[5:57]
recreation
[6:00]
P that area is still considered T it's
not within town no what's the language
[6:06]
has a language language
reads within tasell and North taswa
[6:17]
areas now if it said Town Taz it would
be different but it does say Taz and
[6:30]
I I I think it's still that's the actual
resolution those are all recital but the
[6:35]
look
[6:37]
here and the reason that we had to do
this tonight is because this will have
[6:42]
to be submitted before our next council
meeting that's why we had to get it
[6:48]
there tonight they were kind enough to
give us an extension through November
[6:52]
13th get submitted we found out about
this Grant on a Monday and it was due on
[6:58]
Wednesday oh so we kindly ask for an
extension
[7:03]
they I don't see why what out of
curiosity why is it making a distinction
[7:08]
between Taz and North Taz why should you
have that distinction at
[7:15]
all because North Taz other than having
a post office it it is tazel it's not
[7:22]
nor Taz in terms of it's town of Tas
North Tas is not recognized as a town
[7:29]
recognized down since
1962 so why is that distinction even in
[7:35]
so could we say
uh town of tazwell and someone said Taz
[7:43]
own properties
yeah I think if you you got here the
[7:48]
third fourth where you take out Tas Tas
says whereas Tas one surrounding area
[7:54]
has been identified potential
for something along those lines that
[7:59]
gives you Poli
latitude and hope we won't upset anybody
[8:03]
with fin abilities by taking North T of
it okay in response to that I will amend
[8:11]
my motion to approve this resolution of
support with the changes to the fourth
[8:19]
whereas as Brad mentioned and I will
second your change any
[8:26]
discussion all right all in favor of
moving forward resolution of support
[8:30]
