Travis County Commissioners Court

Item 15
Number 15 is consider and take appropriate action on waiver of retro activity allowing Travis County to acquire the barkley tract in advance of a grant application submission to the Texas parks and wildlife department.
can you just explain to me what this one does?
>> yes, sir.
melinda with transportation and natural resources.
this is parks and wildlife mechanism that allows us to close on a tract of land that we're buying and still include tonight a grant application in the future.
we don't have a particular grant application in mind or in the works, but it does seem like something that would lend itself to a parks project.
>> so I guess I'm trying to understand what the waiver is about.
>> if we were not to get a waiver, then we could not include it in the future grant application.
>> so we're anticipating --
>> we're anticipating use of grant --
>> yes.
and if we use the grant, we couldn't use the grant if we didn't have that waiver.
usually with a grant you couldn't purchase the item before they are in the process of grant approval.
>> this is fairly routine.
not nearly as complicated as I'm reading into it.
>> yes, sir.
>> move approval.
>> second.
>> discussion?
thank you all.
all in favor?
that passes by unanimous vote.
