Commission authorizes Safe Streets 4 All letter of support and moves July meeting to July 14
Summary
Tazewell County Planning Commission authorized a letter of support for a Safe Streets 4 All implementation grant tied to a county roadway safety study and rescheduled the July planning meeting from July 9 to July 14 to avoid the holiday week; both motions passed 5–0.
Kenneth Dunford Jr., Director of County Engineering, told the Planning Commission the county completed a roadway safety study and is pursuing a Safe Streets 4 All implementation grant to finance improvements identified in that study. Dunford presented a drafted letter of support and recommended the Commission authorize execution of the letter to accompany the county's grant application. The Commission voted 5–0 to authorize the letter. Dunford described the grant as "an implementation grant that, if awarded, would allow Tazewell County to make improvements upon the issues that were found in the study."
Separately, Dunford raised a scheduling concern about the July meeting, which had been scheduled for July 9 — the week after Independence Day. After discussion the Commission voted 5–0 to move the July Planning Commission meeting to Tuesday, July 14. The motions were moved by Member Lance Wimmer (letter authorization) and moved by Member Wimmer and seconded by Member Harry Cundiff (meeting date change). The transcript does not include the final grant application submission date or details about which six secondary roads were selected for the Safe Streets application; those items are noted as "not specified."
