Maynardville commission asks city attorney to prepare proclamation recognizing President Trump
Summary
The Maynardville City Commission voted unanimously Feb. 13 to ask the city attorney to prepare a proclamation recognizing President Trump for what the motion described as his success in "stopping Phytanoyl" from entering the U.S. and Tennessee; the request will be drafted by the city attorney.
The Maynardville City Commission voted unanimously on Feb. 13 to ask the city attorney to prepare a proclamation recognizing President Donald J. Trump for what the motion described as his success in "stopping Phytanoyl from coming into the US and the state of Tennessee." Mayor Ty Blakely made the motion, and Commissioner Len Padgett seconded it.
The matter was recorded as a motion directing the City Attorney, Darryl Edmondson, to draft the proclamation; the motion passed 5–0. The minutes show no recorded debate or public comment on the request.
The motion uses the term "Phytanoyl" as written in the meeting minutes; the minutes do not provide additional explanation or evidence about that term or the factual basis for the proclamation. The commission’s action was procedural — it requests the city attorney to prepare wording for a proclamation rather than adopting a proclamation at the meeting.
The minutes do not show further steps or a timeline for when the proclamation would be presented or considered for adoption. The meeting adjourned at 8:00 P.M.
