00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:19,919
28 October
2024 I I get a motion to I make a motion

66
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:25,800
to approve the resolution of
support Second any discussion the only

67
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:30,160
discussion piece I have you know kicked
around one of the ideas regarding the

68
00:05:27,759 --> 00:05:33,600
plan that we have out towards br
or is there any constraint on this that

69
00:05:32,039 --> 00:05:38,840
would prevent us from using using these
funds for the development of that land

70
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:43,840
because it's probably not or
more or do we need to adjust that in

71
00:05:41,639 --> 00:05:49,720
order to be able to leverage those funds
potentially for that location why

72
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:54,319
would property owned by the town
property owned by Town limits are owned

73
00:05:51,759 --> 00:06:00,120
by the town that might we've got land
that could really be utilized for

74
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,120
recreation

75
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:09,479
P that area is still considered T it's
not within town no what's the language

76
00:06:06,639 --> 00:06:14,160
has a language language
reads within tasell and North taswa

77
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:26,520
areas now if it said Town Taz it would
be different but it does say Taz and

78
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:37,639
I I I think it's still that's the actual
resolution those are all recital but the

79
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,639
look

80
00:06:37,840 --> 00:06:45,000
here and the reason that we had to do
this tonight is because this will have

81
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:50,000
to be submitted before our next council
meeting that's why we had to get it

82
00:06:48,039 --> 00:06:55,680
there tonight they were kind enough to
give us an extension through November

83
00:06:52,680 --> 00:07:02,000
13th get submitted we found out about
this Grant on a Monday and it was due on

84
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:06,759
Wednesday oh so we kindly ask for an
extension

85
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:12,000
they I don't see why what out of
curiosity why is it making a distinction

86
00:07:08,879 --> 00:07:14,919
between Taz and North Taz why should you
have that distinction at

87
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:27,400
all because North Taz other than having
a post office it it is tazel it's not

88
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:31,879
nor Taz in terms of it's town of Tas
North Tas is not recognized as a town

89
00:07:29,639 --> 00:07:39,240
recognized down since
1962 so why is that distinction even in

90
00:07:35,599 --> 00:07:45,000
so could we say
uh town of tazwell and someone said Taz

91
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:52,039
own properties
yeah I think if you you got here the

92
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:57,159
third fourth where you take out Tas Tas
says whereas Tas one surrounding area

93
00:07:54,280 --> 00:08:00,520
has been identified potential
for something along those lines that

94
00:07:59,159 --> 00:08:07,319
gives you Poli
latitude and hope we won't upset anybody

95
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:14,599
with fin abilities by taking North T of
it okay in response to that I will amend

96
00:08:11,639 --> 00:08:22,680
my motion to approve this resolution of
support with the changes to the fourth

97
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:28,919
whereas as Brad mentioned and I will
