WHEREAS, the Governing Body of the City of Goodland, Kansas (the “City”) may adopt a resolution making certain findings giving the city support for the developer applying for and participate in said NORA; and
WHEREAS, the City is in a county that has an estimated population of less than 75,000 and therefore the project is a qualified housing project; and
