[4. Recognition for outgoing Mayor Hill, Mayor Pro Tern Shawn McCaskill and Deputy Mayor Pro Tern John Huffman. Reception to follow in the lobby.]

OBVIOUSLY, THERE'S AN ELECTION GOING UNDERWAY.

IF YOU DROVE IN TOWN SQUARE TONIGHT, YOU SAW THE CRAZY PEOPLE SCREAMING WITH THEIR BIG SIGNS. SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF EXCITING CHANGE AND WE'RE EXCITED FOR ALL OF THE CANDIDATES THAT ARE RUNNING FOR OFFICE.

AND SO WITH THAT, I THINK WE'RE GOING TO START A POWERPOINT.

WE CAN YOU WANT TO DO THAT FIRST.

AND IT'S JUST MEANT TO SCROLL THROUGH AS WE'RE GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS.

WE CAN LOOK AT THE PHOTOGRAPHS AND SEE THE SERVICE HISTORY OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS BEING HONORED TONIGHT. OH, OK.

OK. NOTICE MY HAIR NEVER LOOKS THE SAME AND IT'S NEVER THE SAME COLOR.

I JUST WANT TO SAY, AS WE WERE PUTTING THIS TOGETHER, IT WAS REALLY POIGNANT BECAUSE TAKE US BACK IN TIME MANY, MANY YEARS, THE SERVICE THAT HAS BEEN PROVIDED TO THE CITY BY MAYOR HILL, MAYOR PRO TEM MCCASKILL AND DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM JOHN HUFFMAN HAS BEEN EXCEPTIONAL.

AND IT HASN'T JUST BEEN COMING TO CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS.

THERE'S BEEN SO MUCH MORE.

AND I THINK THE PHOTOGRAPHS THAT YOU SEE ON THESE SLIDES REPRESENT THAT PRETTY NICELY.

OK, THOSE ARE FAKE DRINKS THEY'RE FAKE DRINKS.

OH, VERY NICE.

OBVIOUSLY, THIS SLIDE DOESN'T EVEN BEGIN TO CAPTURE THE EXTENT OF YOUR SERVICE MAYOR HILL, THANKS, BUT WE ARE SO APPRECIATIVE AND WE'LL SAY MORE ABOUT THAT IN A MOMENT.

AND I REALLY LIKE TO TELL PASTOR REED HIGHLIGHTED THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF FAMILIES AS WELL, BECAUSE IT IS A BIG COMMITMENT THAT DOES AFFECT FAMILIES.

AND WE KIND OF VIEW IT AS WE'RE ALL IN IT TOGETHER.

AND WE'RE SO APPRECIATIVE OF YOUR FAMILY AND THE MCCASKILL FAMILY AND THE HUFFMAN FAMILY FOR LOANING YOU TO US FOR THIS WORK.

OH.

DO WE NEED TO EXPLAIN THAT ONE IN THE TOP RIGHT OR JUST LET IT GO? I'VE SEEN A FEW PICTURES SO FAR THAT NEED AN EXPLAIN.

I DIDN'T JUMP IN BECAUSE I HAVE NO EXPLANATION.

THAT WAS FUNNY.

OH, VERY NICE.

[00:10:10]

THE NICE THING IS MY HAIR LOOKS THE SAME ALL THROUGH THOSE PICTURES OVER SIX YEARS, JUST SAYING. [LAUGHTE]R YEAH, HOW OLD WERE YOU IN THAT PICTURE.

IS THIS YOUR COLLEGE GRADUATION? THOUGHT YOU GUYS WERE GOING TO PHOTOSHOP MY BEARD ONTO THESE OLD PICTURES.

OH GOSH, ACTING WITH THE STARS.

I NEVER LET YOU GUYS.

I KEPT BRINGING IT UP AT EVERY MEETING . OH, THAT'S THE BEST PICTURE EVER.

IT'S THE BEST THING.

SO WE WOULD HAVE FILLED IT UP.

YEAH, IT WOULD STILL BE OUT THERE.

SOMETHING ABOUT TRESPASSING.

I HAD TO PULL THE YELLOW TAPE THAT TO GET YOU GUYS IN THERE LIKE, OH.

I THINK IT'S PHOTOSHOP, YOU'LL SEE HOW I GREW THE BEARD NOW.

THERE YOU GO.

OH, YEAH, TEXAS ICE CREAM.

SO WE'LL JUST LET THAT KEEP SCROLLING AS WE GO THROUGH OUR PROGRAM.

I'M GOING TO START OUT WITH SOME INITIAL COMMENTS AND THEN WE'LL HAND IT OVER TO COUNCIL MEMBERS. BUT I WANT TO BEGIN BY SAYING THAT THIS IS ALWAYS A BITTERSWEET EVENING.

THE STAFF AND I CONSIDER IT A GREAT PRIVILEGE TO WITNESS EVERY SINGLE DAY IN BIG WAYS AND SMALL WAYS THE ABSOLUTE DEDICATION THAT COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE TO THE JOB.

AND I THINK ALTHOUGH THE SLIDE SHOW DOESN'T CAPTURE EVERYTHING, IT CERTAINLY GIVES YOU A FLAVOR OF HOW MUCH DEDICATION IS INVOLVED.

AND WE APPRECIATE EACH OF YOU SO MUCH FOR WHAT YOU PUT IN.

IT'S NEVER EASY TO SAY GOODBYE, BUT IT IS EASY TO SAY THANK YOU BECAUSE YOU JUST HAVE TO LOOK AT A WEEK IN TIME AND TAKE THAT SNAPSHOT AND YOU GET A FEELING FOR THE DEDICATION TO THIS COMMUNITY. SO TONIGHT, WE'RE RECOGNIZING THE SERVICE OF DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM JOHN HUFFMAN, THE BEARDED ONE MAYOR PRO TEM SHAWN MCCASKILL AND MAYOR LAURA HILL.

AND AS I'VE MENTIONED, IT'S DIFFICULT TO SUCCINCTLY CAPTURE EVERYTHING.

BUT I JUST WANT TO SAY A COUPLE OF THINGS ON BEHALF OF THE STAFF.

THE COUNTLESS HOURS THAT THE CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS PUT IN IS, I THINK, LARGELY UNKNOWN TO THE PUBLIC. IT'S PREPARATION FOR THE MEETINGS, WHICH SOMETIMES IS VERY SIGNIFICANT.

IT'S ATTENDING THE MEETINGS, WHICH CAN GO VERY, VERY LATE INTO THE NIGHT.

IT'S COMMUNITY EVENTS.

IT'S VOLUNTEERING TO GO OUT AND ASSIST PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY WITH VARIOUS THINGS IT'S TAKING CALLS AND ANSWERING QUESTIONS, ANSWERING EMAILS.

THERE'S SO MUCH TO IT.

AND I'VE ALWAYS SENSED THAT YOU ARE ALL VERY HAPPY TO DO IT.

BUT I THINK IT'S NOTABLE THAT YOU'RE ABLE TO DO IT IN THE CONTEXT OF YOUR VERY BUSY LIVES. AND THAT'S WHY IT'S SO IMPORTANT TO THANK FAMILY MEMBERS, BECAUSE IT DOES TAKE YOU AWAY FROM TIME THAT YOU CAN SPEND AT HOME.

AND, YOU KNOW, WE'RE WE'RE SORT OF ALL IN IT TOGETHER.

AND PART OF WHAT WAS FUN ABOUT WATCHING.

WELL, THERE'S CAROLINE. PART OF WHAT'S FUN ABOUT WATCHING THE SLIDE SHOWS IS THAT WE CAN SEE HOW LITTLE YOUR CHILDREN WERE WHEN THEY STARTED WITH YOU ON THIS JOURNEY AND THEN THEY GREW UP TO BE ADULT LAWYERS.

RIGHT, MAGGIE? SO, YOU KNOW, IT'S CRAZY.

I WANT TO START BY THANKING DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM JOHN HUFFMAN, WHO HAS NOT ONLY SERVED ON

[00:15:04]

COUNCIL, BUT ALSO ON THE ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT.

SO YOU'VE BEEN AT THIS PUBLIC SERVICE FOR QUITE A WHILE.

AND ON BEHALF OF THE CITY, LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH WE APPRECIATE YOU.

AS A COUNCIL MEMBER YOU HAVE BEEN PROBABLY THE MOST UNIQUE PERSON WE HAVE WORKED WITH IN THE SENSE THAT.

THAT'S THAT'S A POLITICAL MAILER.

I MEAN, YOU'VE BROUGHT US REALLY INTO THE NEW TECHNOLOGY WORLD.

SOME OF THE FACEBOOK LIVE VIDEOS THAT YOU HAVE DONE WITH OUR TEAM HAVE REALLY EXPANDED OUR REACH EXPONENTIALLY.

AND SO WHETHER IT'S TELLING YOU WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE BRIDGE AT WHITE CHAPEL OR THE CONSTRUCTION OF WHITE CHAPEL ROAD OR, HEY, THIS SIDEWALK IS GOING TO LOOP ALL THE WAY AROUND. OR LET US TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH YOUR WATER WHILE THE WORLD IS FROZEN.

THAT'S BEEN IMPACTFUL, BUT IT'S ALSO BEEN A TON OF FUN.

AND SO WE'RE REALLY APPRECIATIVE TO YOU FOR YOUR NEW IDEAS AND HELPING US TO THINK ABOUT THINGS IN NEW AND CREATIVE WAYS.

IT'S BEEN GREAT AND IT'S BEEN A LOT OF FUN.

SO WE'RE VERY GRATEFUL FOR YOUR SERVICE.

AND AT THIS TIME, I'LL TURN IT BACK TO YOU IN THE COUNCIL.

SURE. SO I THOUGHT WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO IS LET EACH OF THE MEMBERS OF COUNCIL MAYBE SHARE SOME WISE WORDS FOR YOU OR SHARE SOME STORIES THAT YOU DON'T WANT TOLD.

NO, NO.

BUT I THINK I'LL START WITH COUNCIL MEMBER TALLEY.

IF YOU WANT TO.

SURE I WAS TRYING TO REMEMBER JOHN, IF WE HAD MET PRIOR TO LAST YEAR, HAD WE MET PRIOR TO LAST YEAR, I DON'T THINK WE, I DON'T THINK WE HAD.

AND SO THROUGHOUT THE RATHER LONG CAMPAIGN TRAIL LAST YEAR, I GOT TO KNOW JOHN AND A LOT OF COUNCIL BETTER. BUT WHAT'S INCREDIBLE TO ME IS, AS SHANA SPOKE TO THE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT'S GIVEN AND YOU'VE GIVEN A LOT OF THAT, AND I KNOW IT'S HARD IT'S HARD ON YOUR FAMILY, BUT YOUR FAMILY'S A PART OF YOU AND WHO YOU ARE UP HERE ON THE DAIS.

AND SO I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AND HOPEFULLY WE'LL SEE YOU IN A DIFFERENT SEAT. BUT IT'S BEEN PRETTY SPECIAL TO WATCH.

AND, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE OUR DIFFERENCES.

PERHAPS I'M A LONGHORN, PERHAPS YOU'RE AN AGGIE BUT.

NO ONE'S PERFECT KATHY.

YOU KNOW, DO WHAT YOU CAN, JOHN.

BUT, YEAH, I KNOW, I KNOW, BUT IT FOR THE BRIEF AMOUNT OF TIME I'VE BEEN HERE, IT'S BEEN A PLEASURE TO SERVE WITH YOU AND JUST TO WATCH YOUR LEADERSHIP AND HOW YOU'VE INTERACTED, NOT ONLY WITH ALL OF US, BUT WITH STAFF AND WITH OUR CITY.

AND I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THAT.

THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER MCCASKILL.

WHY ARE YOU CRINGING? I'M NOT GOING TO SHARE ANY OF THOSE STORIES.

BECAUSE YOU KNOW THE STORIES.

THAT'S WHY NO, IN ALL SERIOUSNESS, A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, LAURA AND I HOSTED AN EVENT FOR JOHN FOR THE CAMPAIGN THAT HE'S RUNNING RIGHT NOW.

AND, YOU KNOW, I SHARED WITH ALL OF YOU PROBABLY WHAT YOU ALREADY KNOW.

I THINK OF HIM AS A BROTHER.

AND HE AND I HAVE SORT OF COME UP THROUGH THE SYSTEM TOGETHER, GOING BACK ALMOST 10 YEARS NOW WHEN MAYOR CAROL AND COUNCIL APPOINTED US TO ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT.

AND THEN WE SORT OF TRACKED EACH OTHER ALL THE WAY UP.

AND FOR A BRIEF MOMENT IN TIME, SIX YEARS AGO, WE WERE OPPONENTS.

WE HAD THAT WHAT SPOUSES CALL SOMETIMES A LACK OF COMMUNICATION, AND WE FILED AGAINST ONE ANOTHER. AND SO FOR LESS THAN TWENTY FOUR HOURS, I GUESS WE WERE ADVERSARIES.

BUT OF COURSE, WE REALLY WEREN'T.

AFTER THREE OR FOUR CUPS OF COFFEE AT CORNER BAKERY, WE RAN WE ENDED UP RUNNING IN SEPARATE SPOTS AND WERE ELECTED WHEN LAURA WAS ELECTED MAYOR IN 2015.

AND THE REST IS HISTORY. BUT YOU KNOW, JOHN HAS PUT IN BEHIND THE SCENES TO SHANA'S POINT. HE'S PUT IN THE HEAVY LIFTING.

HE IS WELL QUALIFIED FOR WHATEVER COMES NEXT.

AND WE ALL KNOW WHAT THAT IS AND HE WILL DO A GREAT JOB.

HE'S GOT SOME BIG SHOES TO FILL, PUN INTENDED, BUT HE IS VERY WELL QUALIFIED, WELL-PREPARED. HE'S LEARNED AT LAURA'S RIGHT HAND AND HE WILL DO AN EXCELLENT JOB AS THE NEXT MAYOR OF SOUTHLAKE. AND I'M SO PROUD OF HIM.

I'M PROUD TO HAVE HAD PERHAPS A SMALL ROLE IN HIS GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OVER THE LAST SIX YEARS, AS HE HAS DONE FOR ME.

WE'VE SORT OF FED OFF EACH OTHER AND BEEN THERE THROUGH THE GOOD TIMES AND THE BAD TIMES, THE NO WATER, THE FIREWORKS, WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT.

SO CONGRATULATIONS, JOHN, ON YOUR SERVICE.

AND THE BEST IS REALLY YET TO COME.

GREAT. THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER PATTON.

YEAH. THANK YOU. WELL, MR. HUFFMAN, I TELL YOU WHAT, THIS HAS BEEN A REAL PLEASURE.

I HAVE TO TELL YOU, SOME OF THE BEST EXPERIENCES I'VE HAD WITH YOU HAVE BEEN WHEN WE'RE VOLUNTEERING TOGETHER AND WE HAVE OUR FAMILIES AROUND US, WHETHER IT'S AT THE BALLPARK

[00:20:04]

DOING SOMETHING OR IF IT'S, YOU KNOW, SOME AS A CHARITY EVENT OR WHAT HAVE YOU.

WHAT I ADMIRE MOST ABOUT YOU IS YOU'RE ALWAYS HAVING A GOOD TIME DOING IT.

AND THAT'S A TESTAMENT TO YOUR TRUE CHARACTER, BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO ENJOY THIS TO BE ABLE TO GIVE AS MUCH AS WE DO.

AND YOUR FAMILY HAS TO ENJOY GIVING AS WELL.

AND SO YOU LEAD BY EXAMPLE WITH YOUR FAMILY, AND I'M THANKFUL FOR THAT.

AND THE PATTERNS ARE THANKFUL, THANKFUL FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY FOR THE SACRIFICE THAT YOU'VE MADE, THE COMMENT YOU MADE TO OUR COMMITTEE, OUR COMMUNITY, EXCUSE ME, AND THE COMMITMENT YOU'LL BE MAKING GOING FORWARD.

SO WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THE FUTURE THAT YOU'RE GOING TO BRING TO OUR COMMUNITY.

AND THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE, MY FRIEND.

APPRECIATE YOU. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU, CHAD COUNCIL MEMBER WILLIAMSON.

YEAH, MY TURN. YOU KNOW WHAT SO AS YOU SAW FROM SEVERAL OF THE PHOTOS, COUNCIL MEMBER HUFFMAN WAS A YOUNG PUP WHEN HE STARTED UP HERE.

IN FACT, THE WHOLE BEARD THING, I DON'T EVEN THINK HE WAS SHAVING WHEN WE WHEN WE SWORE HIM IN. AND SO THAT'S ALL HAPPENED OVER THE LAST SIX YEARS.

HE HAS GROWN UP.

BUT NO.

AND IN ALL SERIOUSNESS, THOUGH, IT'S BEEN AN HONOR TO SERVE WITH JOHN FOR THE BETTER PART OF SIX YEARS NOW AND TO WATCH HIM COME IN AS A NEW COUNCIL MEMBER INTO, YOU KNOW, JUST BE A SPONGE IN AND LEARN IN AND TAKE IN EVERYTHING IT IS ABOUT THE CITY.

YOU KNOW, THERE'S NO QUESTION IN MY MIND THAT IF IF OUR RESIDENTS SEE FIT TO ELECT YOU AS THE NEXT MAYOR, YOU ARE WELL PREPARED, YOU ARE WELL-PREPARED, AND YOU WILL LEAD THE CITY WELL. SO IT'S BEEN AN HONOR AND I APPRECIATE YOUR FRIENDSHIP AND LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUE SERVING WITH YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER SMITH.

I THOUGHT YOU GUYS MADE ME GO LAST BECAUSE I HAD NOTHING GOOD TO SAY ABOUT JOHN.

[LAUGHTER] I HAVEN'T GONE YET.

YEAH, WELL, THE FIRST TIME I MET JOHN WAS IN THIS BUILDING IN THE EXECUTIVE CONFERENCE ROOM WHEN I WAS APPLYING FOR ZBA JUST SIX MONTHS AFTER MOVING HERE IN NOVEMBER OF 20 WOULD HAVE BEEN EITHER THE FIRST OF 2015 OR 2014.

BUT MY MOST MY LASTING IMAGE OF JOHN WAS AT THE FIRST TREE LIGHTING AT THE CHRISTMAS.

I STILL HAVE THAT IMAGE BECAUSE WE TOOK A PICTURE WITH THE SCROOGE AND JOHN CAME UP TO ME AND SAID, ONE DAY YOU'LL BE IN THIS POSITION, YOU'LL BE, YOU KNOW ON COUNCIL.

AND I NEVER FORGET. I REMEMBER TURNING MY BACK TO HIM AND SAY, MAN, HE REALLY DOESN'T KNOW ME. BUT I REMEMBER WHEN I STEPPED UP TO MAKE THE DECISION TO RUN FOR COUNCIL.

JOHN AND SHAWN AND PEOPLE ON THE DAIS WERE INCREDIBLY SUPPORTIVE.

I WON'T SAY I'M NOT GOING TO SUGAR COAT IT HE WILL BE THE NEXT MAYOR AND HE WILL BE THE NEXT MAYOR BECAUSE HE'S EARNED IT.

IT'S ONE OF THE THINGS YOU LOOK FOR WHEN A LEADER IS SOMEBODY WHO STEPS UP TO DO THE RIGHT THING EVEN WHEN NOBODY'S LOOKING.

RIGHT. AND JOHN, DOESN'T GET CREDIT FOR THIS, BUT I REMEMBER THE DADS AND BREW, I DIDN'T KNOW JOHN AT ALL. AND HE STEPPED UP AND SAID PEOPLE IN THIS COMMUNITY HAD TO COMMIT TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND WE WERE THE RIGHT COMMUNITY AND HE KNEW WE WOULD DO IT.

UNFORTUNATELY, THAT GETS MISQUOTED.

IT'S A NICE WAY OF SAYING PEOPLE LIE ABOUT IT.

BUT ANYWAY, WHAT I WHAT I'VE SAID, BECAUSE I'VE BEEN PART OF THE JOHN HUFFMAN FAN CLUB FOR A WHILE AND CERTAINLY IN THIS RUN FOR MAYOR IS THAT HE'S A GOOD MAN.

HE'S A GOOD PERSON.

HE'S A GOOD FAMILY MAN. HE HAS A GREAT FAMILY, A BEAUTIFUL WIFE, GREAT KIDS AND AS SOMEBODY WHO KNOWS HIM AND WHO'S WATCHED HIM OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS.

HE'S THE RIGHT PERSON TO LEAD THIS COMMUNITY GOING FORWARD.

HE WILL DO RIGHT BY EVERYBODY.

IT'S NOT IT'S NOT A CAMPAIGN SPEECH.

THIS IS HOW I FEEL ABOUT HIM.

AND THIS IS THIS IS WHAT HE'S THE TYPE OF LEADER THAT WE NEED IN THIS COMMUNITY.

AND I SAY THAT BECAUSE HE'S BEEN THAT PERSON, THIS ISN'T SOMEBODY WHO'S STEPPING UP TO DO SOMETHING BECAUSE IT'S A POPULARITY CONTEST.

HE'S PUT IN THE WORK.

HE'S EARNED IT. I CAN SAY THAT HE'S EARNED IT AND HE'S DONE ENOUGH TO EARN OUR VOTE.

SO I'M PROUD OF YOU DUDE.

I LOOK FORWARD TO YOU SITTING ON THE SIDE OF ME AND US WORKING TOGETHER FOR THE NEXT 20 YEARS? JUST KIDDING. BUT IT TRULY IT IS IT IS AN HONOR TO SEE WHAT YOU'VE DONE.

YOUR FAMILY IS [INAUDIBLE] IN THIS COMMUNITY, AND I JUST LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU.

SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. AND I THINK WHAT I'D LIKE TO SAY IS THAT I, I AM IMMENSELY PROUD OF EVERYONE THAT SITS UP HERE. I REMEMBER HAVING A CONVERSATION WITH A COUPLE OF THE COUNCILMEN A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO AND THEY WERE SAYING, WHO'S GOING TO STEP UP NEXT TO RUN FOR MAYOR? AND I REMEMBER MY IMMEDIATE RESPONSE WAS, YOU CAN ALL DO IT.

YOU DECIDE AMONG EACH OTHER AND JUST LET ME KNOW.

AND THAT'S REALLY HOW I FELT LIKE THE UTMOST RESPECT FOR THE WORK THAT THIS COUNCIL HAS DONE CONSISTENTLY FOR SIX YEARS.

AND I JUST THE LAST YEAR WHEN THINGS WERE REALLY, REALLY TOUGH FOR THE YEAR BEFORE THAT, WHEN THINGS WERE REALLY, REALLY TOUGH.

BUT ALSO LOOKING BACK ON THE GOOD OLE DAYS WHEN, YOU KNOW, THE MINOR PROBLEMS WERE THE

[00:25:03]

WORST THING WE HAD TO WORRY ABOUT.

BUT, JOHN, YOU'VE ALWAYS STEPPED UP.

YOU'VE ALWAYS CHALLENGED ALL OF US TO COMMUNICATE MORE, BETTER IN DIFFERENT WAYS.

I THINK THE CITIZENS HAVE COME TO TRUST THE TRANSPARENT GOVERNMENT AND THE LEVEL OF HONESTY BECAUSE OF LEADERS LIKE YOU WHO MAKE SURE THAT WHEN THERE'S DOUBT IN THE COMMUNITY, WHEN YOU SEE A POST ON FACEBOOK AND THINGS ARE FIXING TO GO SOUTH, WHICH THEY DO REAL QUICK AROUND HERE, YOU ALWAYS JUMP IN BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE THE FACTS AND YOU KNOW, THAT'S ALL THE CITIZENS NEED TO DO, IS HEAR THE FACTS AND THEY'LL BE FINE.

AND THEY'VE COME TO APPRECIATE THAT ABOUT YOU.

AND WHEN YOU SIT IN THIS CHAIR, I KNOW THAT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU'LL CONTINUE TO DO, I REMEMBER JOHN TERRELL TELLING ME HOW PERSONALLY HE TOOK IT THAT THE PERSON THAT BECAME THE MAYOR AFTER HIM WOULD NOT ONLY LEAD THE CITY, BUT TAKE THE CITY EVEN FURTHER THAN HE TRIED TO TAKE IT. AND THAT'S EXACTLY HOW I FEEL ABOUT YOU.

SO I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST AND YOUR FAMILY AND I'M GOING TO LET YOU TALK LATER WHEN WE'RE OUT AT THE RECEPTION. SO HOLD YOUR THOUGHTS.

SO, SHANA I'LL TURN IT BACK OVER TO YOU.

SO NOW WE TURN OUR ATTENTION TO MAYOR TURN THAT MICROPHONE ON.

NOW WE TURN OUR ATTENTION TO MAYOR PRO TEM SHAWN MCCASKILL, WHO QUITE CHARACTERISTICALLY TOLD ME TO JUST KEEP IT LOW KEY FOR HIM, THAT IT WASN'T REALLY ABOUT HIM.

AND I THOUGHT, THAT'S JUST PERFECT.

THAT'S EXACTLY THE MAN THAT I'VE COME TO KNOW OVER ALL THESE MANY YEARS.

AND I TOLD HIM, HOW DO YOU FEEL IF I JUST SAY NOTED? BECAUSE I NOTED IT.

BUT THERE'S SO MANY NICE THINGS WE CAN SAY ABOUT SHAWN AND HIS WORK FOR THE CITY, YOU KNOW, GOING THROUGH THE DIFFERENT PROJECTS THAT WE'VE WORKED ON.

ONE THING THAT I WANT TO TELL YOU ON BEHALF OF THE STAFF AS WE CONSIDER PRIVILEGE TO WORK WITH YOU, YOU'RE A GENTLEMAN.

AND REALLY EVERYTHING THAT WE'VE WORKED ON TOGETHER HAS BEEN REALLY DEVELOPED AROUND THE IDEA OF RESPECT.

I THINK YOU HAVE TREATED US WITH SO MUCH RESPECT THROUGH YOUR TIME, AND IT'S MADE WORKING WITH YOU UNCOMPLICATED.

BUT THAT'S NOT TO SAY WE HAVEN'T DONE SOME IMPORTANT GREAT THINGS.

IT'S JUST BEEN UNCOMPLICATED.

AND YOUR LEGAL BACKGROUND, OF COURSE, IS ALWAYS HELPFUL.

MASSIVE SKILLS THERE.

WE'RE JUST REALLY PROUD THAT WE'VE HAD A CHANCE TO WORK WITH YOU ALL OVER ALL THESE YEARS AND CONSIDER YOU A SOLID LEADER.

WE'VE BEEN THRILLED TO HAVE A PARTNERSHIP WITH YOU OVER ALL THESE YEARS.

AND SO JUST I GUESS THE ONLY THING THAT'S LEFT TO SAY IS THAT WE'RE GRATEFUL THAT WE'VE SPENT TIME WITH YOU AND WORKED WITH YOU FOR OUR COMMUNITY.

IT'S IT'S BEEN AN HONOR.

SO THANK YOU. OK, THANK YOU, SHAWN.

I'LL START WITH COUNCIL MEMBER WILLIAMSON.

I KNOW HE'S GOT SOME THINGS, YOU KNOW.

THAT'S PERFECT. THANK YOU.

AND ANOTHER PERSON WHO I CONSIDER TO BE A CLOSE, CLOSE FRIEND AND I'M SO THANKFUL FOR MY TIME SERVING HERE TO TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THESE KINDS OF FRIENDSHIPS.

SO I'LL START WITH THAT. BUT SHANA CAPTURED IT PERFECTLY WHEN SHE DESCRIBED YOU JUST AS A GENTLEMAN. AND BECAUSE OF THAT, YOU HAVE SO MUCH RESPECT IN THIS COMMUNITY WHEN YOU WANDER THROUGH THE JOURNEYS OF SOCIAL MEDIA AND SO FORTH.

THE ONE THING YOU KNOW ABOUT SHAWN MCCASKILL IS, IS EVERYBODY RESPECTS SHAWN.

AND HE HAS HE HAS FRIENDS.

HE HAS RESPECT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE ON ALL DIFFERENT SIDES OF ISSUES.

AND THAT'S HARD TO DO. AND I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT AND AND RESPECT YOU FOR THAT.

THE ONE THING I WOULD SAY AS FAR AS COUNCIL IS SHAWN IS SUCH A BRIGHT GUY AND HE'S THE PROVERBIAL THINKER.

SO WE CAN GO THROUGH A CASE HERE AND TALK AND TALK AND TALK.

AND SHAWN WILL OFTENTIMES QUIETLY SIT AND LISTEN AND PROCESS.

AND AS WE'RE GETTING CLOSER AND CLOSER TO WHERE WE NEED TO MAKE A DECISION, YOU CAN START TO HEAR GEARS ON THAT SIDE OF THE TABLE.

AND I CAN SEE HIM WORKING.

AND THEN WHEN HE SPEAKS, YOU BETTER LEAN IN TO LISTEN, BECAUSE HE HAS PROCESSED A LOT OF INFORMATION AND IS REALLY ABLE TO BOIL IT DOWN FOR US.

SO I HOPE TO SEE YOU BACK UP HERE.

THE CITY NEEDS YOU. WE NEED YOUR LEADERSHIP.

AND I HOPE TO SEE YOU BACK UP HERE.

BUT THANK YOU FOR SUCH A TREMENDOUS TWO TERMS. COUNCIL MEMBER. OH, SHAWN.

OH, SHAWN, YOU KNOW, YOU SAID IT EARLIER THAT IT'S LIKE WE'RE BROTHERS.

AND I AGREE. SOME HAVE CALLED IT A BROMANCE.

NOT INACCURATELY, I WOULD SAY, BUT GETTING TO GETTING TO KNOW YOU COMING UP THROUGH THIS THROUGH THIS PROCESS.

BUT ON ZBA I REMEMBER LOOKING UP TO YOU WHEN I FIRST GOT APPOINTED BECAUSE YOU WERE THE CHAIR AND THEN YOU GOT WHISKED AWAY TO P&Z, THIS MYSTERIOUS PLACE WHERE THE REALLY TALENTED FOLKS WENT. AND AND IT WAS IT WAS REALLY COOL BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, I ALWAYS LOOKED UP TO KIND OF WHAT YOU WHAT YOU DID UP THERE.

[00:30:02]

AND THEN WHEN WE FILED AGAINST EACH OTHER, WHICH WAS STUPID AND WE WERE OPPONENTS FOR TWENTY FOUR HOURS, I WAS LIKE, I CAN'T BEAT THIS GUY.

WE GOT TO FIGURE THIS OUT. I'M SO GLAD WE DID.

AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S BEEN REALLY FUN RUNNING THIS CAMPAIGN BECAUSE THERE'S SO MANY ECHOES BACK TO WHEN THE THREE OF US WERE RUNNING SIX YEARS AGO AND SO MANY PEOPLE OUT IN THE CROWD, YOU KNOW, OUR FRIENDS THAT WE GOT TO KNOW FROM SIX YEARS AGO, INCLUDING SOME PEOPLE ON THIS DAIS. SO IT'S REALLY IT'S REALLY BEEN FUN.

AND WE MADE, YOU KNOW, THAT'S KIND OF THE START OF THE BROMANCE AND LET'S CONTINUE FROM THERE. AND, YOU KNOW, SHANA I APPRECIATE THE CREDIT ON THE FACEBOOK LIVES, BUT YOU UNDERSTAND IT'S BEEN THE SHAWN AND JOHN SHOW.

AND I DON'T KNOW, YOU MIGHT NOT BE ON COUNCIL IN A MONTH, BUT WE'RE PROBABLY GOING TO MAKE YOU SOME KIND OF LIKE HONORIFIC FACEBOOK LIVE MEMBER.

I THINK WE NEED IT.

WEREN'T YOU DRINKING WHISKEY ONE NIGHT WHEN YOU DIDN'T HAVE, LIKE, A GLASS OF WINE? YES, MAYBE ONE NIGHT.

YEAH, YEAH. JUST JUST THE ONE NIGHT THAT WASN'T JUST ME.

FACEBOOK LIVE.

ON THE FACEBOOK LIVE. WHERE WERE WE? WE WERE IN YOUR KITCHEN, I THINK.

YEAH. IT WAS JUST THE ONE NIGHT, THOUGH.

THAT'S THE ONLY TIME IT EVER HAPPENED.

OKAY. NO, IT WASN'T.

YOU KNOW, WHEN I THINK ABOUT YOU, I JUST HAVE THIS JUST ABIDING WONDERMENT AT HOW YOU DO EVERYTHING YOU DO. YOU KNOW, YOU RUN A LAW FIRM, YOU RAISE FOUR INCREDIBLE KIDS WITH LAURA, AND SOMEHOW YOU MAKE TIME TO BE AT EVERYTHING.

LIKE THERE'S NOTHING WE DO AS A COUNCIL THAT YOU'RE NOT AN INTEGRAL PART OF, WHICH IS SUPER COOL. I'VE NEVER SEEN YOU IN A BAD MOOD, WHICH IS INCREDIBLE.

YOU'RE JUST LIKE STEADY AS A ROCK AND YOU ALWAYS LIKE RANDY.

RANDY SAID IT REALLY WELL WHEN WHEN YOU SPEAK, PEOPLE LISTEN AND WHEN YOU SPEAK, PEOPLE KNOW THAT YOU'VE SPENT A LOT OF TIME THINKING ABOUT YOUR WORDS, NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE IN THE COMMUNITY. YOU KNOW, WHEN SHAWN MCCASKILL SAYS SOMETHING, YOU LISTEN, WHICH IS REALLY, REALLY COOL. WE'RE GOING TO MISS OUT ON COUNCIL FOR ONE YEAR.

YOU GOT ONE YEAR IN THE PENALTY BOX.

AND WE EXPECT YOU BACK UP HERE.

OK, THANKS, BUDDY.

IT'S BEEN A PLEASURE SERVING WITH YOU.

THANKS. COUNCIL MEMBER SMITH.

I WONDER WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF SOMEBODY WAS LEAVING WE DIDN'T LIKE THAT.

I MEAN, IT'S HAPPENED.

OK, I WAS GOING TO SAY THAT IS A LEGITIMATE THOUGHT.

I MEAN, I JUST SKIP THE NICE TALK AND WE JUST GO OUT AND HAVE CAKE.

OK, OK, SO I'M ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE THAT I LIKE TO REDUCE THINGS TO ONE WORD.

AND SO THE ONE WORD I ALWAYS THINK OF WHEN I THINK OF SHAWN IS CLASSY.

HE IS A CLASSY GUY ALL AROUND.

HE IS JUST A GOOD PERSON, A GOOD LEADER.

AND AND TO PROVE IT, THIS IS A DEEP BENCH UP HERE.

THERE'S SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO COULD VERY EASILY RUN FOR COUNCIL.

JOHN AND SHAWN ARE CLOSE FRIENDS INSTEAD OF THEM FIGHTING OVER IT.

RIGHT. I DON'T KNOW THIS BACKSTORY, WHATEVER.

IF THERE IS A BACK STORY, SHAWN DECIDES HE'S NOT GOING TO DO IT.

THAT'S CLASSY TO ME, RIGHT? THERE'S NO BETTER OR WORSE PERSON THAT'S EMBLEMATIC OF THE TYPE OF PEOPLE WHO SIT ON THIS DAIS AND WHO, YOU KNOW, LEARN UNDER THE TUTELAGE OF MAYOR HILL.

I'VE WATCHED SHAWN.

I'VE HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH SHAWN EVEN BEFORE.

I KNEW SHAWN [INAUDIBLE] RECENTLY ABOUT SHAWN.

AND IT WAS BOTH HOW CLASSY HE IS, HOW EVEN KEEL HE IS, HOW GOOD OF A GUY HE IS, AND HOW HARD OF A WORKER HE IS.

YOU DON'T SEE THIS. I'M AT THE LIBRARY ALL THE TIME BECAUSE WE LOVE THE LIBRARY.

AND I CAN TELL YOU, I'VE WONDERED NUMEROUS TIMES THAT THIS GUY REALLY WORK.

I'LL SEE HIS CAR AND I'M LIKE, THAT'S THE THING ABOUT THE COUNCIL THAT, YOU KNOW, MOST OF MOST OF WHAT WE DO IS NOT FROM THE DAIS.

YOU KNOW, MOST OF WHAT WE DO IS BEHIND THE SCENES DURING THE WEEK, THE EMAILS, THE TEXT, THE SOCIAL MEDIA IS THAT THE D.M.

AND I CAN SAY THE GUY PUTS IN THE WORK.

HE'S EARNED ALL THE KUDOS THAT WE'RE THROWING AROUND UP HERE.

TRUST ME, IT IS EASY TO DO BECAUSE THESE ARE GOOD PEOPLE WHO ARE TREMENDOUS LEADERS IN THIS COMMUNITY. AND THAT'S EMBLEMATIC OF THE TYPE OF PEOPLE YOU GUYS HAVE LEADING.

AND THIS IS EMBLEMATIC OF THE TYPE OF PEOPLE WE HAVE IN SOUTHLAKE.

I PREACH ALL THE TIME, SOUTHLAKE IS NOT BROKEN.

WE DON'T NEED SOMEBODY TO FIX IT, BUT WE HAVE TREMENDOUS LEADERS REPRESENTING AMAZING PEOPLE, YOU ALL. SO THANK YOU, SHAWN.

WE'RE GOING TO MISS YOU. BUT DUDE, I'M LOOKING FOR YOU BACK NEXT YEAR.

AS I SAY THAT I GOT TO RUN NEXT YEAR ANYWAY.

WE WANT YOU BACK.

YOU'RE THE TYPE OF PERSON WE WANT AND WE NEED UP HERE.

AND I KNOW YOUR WONDERFUL FAMILY, YOUR WONDERFUL WIFE AND KIDS.

YOU INVITED ME INTO YOUR HOUSE.

WE'VE WATCHED DALLAS COWBOYS, I'M NOT A BIG COWBOYS FAN.

BUT YOU'RE A GREAT GUY, AND I LOOK FORWARD TO SERVING WITH YOU IN THE FUTURE.

I THINK RONELL TOOK ABOUT 80 PERCENT OF MY TIME SHAWN SO I'LL TRY TO I'LL TRY TO KEEP IT.

I'LL TRY TO KNOCK SOME OF IT DOWN.

HE SAID HE WAS HE LIKES TO BLOW THINGS DOWN TO ONE WORD.

ALL RIGHT.

WELL, I HAVE A WORD FOR YOU TOO SHAWN AND IT'S REALLY IT'S ADMIRATION.

[00:35:01]

I ADMIRE YOU, MAN.

I JUST DO. WE ARE NEOPHYTES TOGETHER ON ZBA IT'S KIND OF VERY SIMILAR STORY TO JOHN'S.

BUT I REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME I SAT ON MY ZBA MEETING AND YOU WERE THERE AND I THOUGHT, MAN, THIS GUY, THIS GUY HAS GOT IT TOGETHER.

AND THEN I'VE HAD THE PLEASURE OF GETTING TO KNOW HIS FAMILY, HIS KIDS WATCH HIS KIDS GROW UP OVER THE LAST TWELVE PLUS YEARS.

AND IT'S JUST BEEN A TRUE HONOR.

I'M SO THANKFUL TO CALL YOU MY FRIEND, AND I'M GOING TO MISS YOU SITTING OVER HERE ON THE RIGHT SIDE. I CHEAT OFF OF HIM SOMETIMES.

THAT'S WHY I'M GOING TO MISS HIM.

BUT I APPRECIATE YOU.

I DON'T WANT TO BE EMOTIONAL. I TEND TO GET EMOTIONAL SOMETIMES.

BUT YOU'RE A GREAT GUY AND THE CITY IS BETTER BECAUSE OF YOU.

SO THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE YOU.

COUNCIL MEMBER TALLEY. OK, SO I HAVE ONE MINUTE RIGHT.

I IT MAKES ME REALLY SAD BECAUSE OUR TIME HERE, SEATED NEXT TO ONE ANOTHER HAS BEEN RELATIVELY SHORT THANKS TO COVID LAST YEAR AND THE ELECTION IN NOVEMBER.

BUT TO ECHO EVERYTHING THAT YOU ALL HAVE ALREADY SAID, ADMIRATION, RESPECT, CLASSY, THIS IS VERY MUCH NO MATTER WHAT YOU'VE DONE IN THE COMMUNITY AND IN LIFE, IT'S VERY MUCH A LEARN ON THE JOB.

AND THERE'S A LOT TO LEARN AND EVERYBODY HAS BEEN VERY HELPFUL.

BUT SHAWN, IN PARTICULAR, ALWAYS WILLING, READY AND ABLE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS, HELPED ME UNDERSTAND A PROCESS OR A PROCEDURE OR WHATEVER IT IS.

AND I'M REALLY GOING TO MISS THAT AND I'M GOING TO MISS YOU.

BUT HOPEFULLY YOU WILL BE BACK AND HOPEFULLY SOME SOMETHING HAPPENS WITH THE TEAM AND YOU CONTINUE YOUR YOUR TEAMWORK, YOU AND JOHN, OVER THE NEXT YEAR, WHATEVER THAT MAY LOOK LIKE. BECAUSE BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH IT IS, IT SEEMS FUN AND THEN SILLY.

WHAT IT IS REALLY ALSO IS QUITE INFORMATIVE.

AND IT DOES BRING THE COMMUNITY IN AND AND I THINK BRINGS THE COMMUNITY CLOSER TO THE CITY AS WELL. AND I THINK THAT'S BEEN REALLY IMPORTANT, ESPECIALLY OVER THE LAST YEAR OR SO. SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.

YEAH, GREAT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

AND SHAWN, I THINK WHAT I WOULD SAY IS I THINK MY FIRST TEXT MESSAGE EVERY MORNING IS F ROM YOI AND JOHN. I THINK MY HUSBAND KNOWS.

EVERY MORNING.

IT'S SO STRANGE WHEN I GET UP AND THERE'S NO TEXT FROM YOU GUYS, BUT WE'VE BEEN THE THREE MUSKETEERS. YOU'VE SERVED AS MY MAYOR PRO TEM AND DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM.

AND SO THE THREE OF US HAVE KIND OF BEEN THE LANDING PAGE FOR WHEN THINGS HAPPEN IN THE CITY. WE'VE GOT TO MAKE A QUICK DECISION WITH SHANA ON WHAT TO DO NEXT.

AND IT'S BEEN INTERESTING.

ALL THE PHONE CALLS WE GET ON TOGETHER THAT OUR THREE PERSONALITIES ARE SO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. I LEAD WITH THE DRAMA JOHN COMES IN WITH THE BIG STATEMENTS AND THEN SHAWN TELLS US HOW IT'S GOING TO BE. [LAUGHTER] SO THAT'S NOT HOW I REMEMBER THOSE CALLS.

ALWAYS THE VOICE OF REASON.

I'M ALWAYS, YOU KNOW, GO BIG, GO BIG, GO BIG.

SHAWN IS LIKE, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.

SO BUT IT'S YOU KNOW, I MEAN, I THINK WHAT YOU HEAR EVERYONE SAYING UP HERE ABOUT JOHN AND SHAWN IS REALLY ABOUT THE TEAM AND HOW MUCH WE ALL MEAN TO EACH OTHER.

EVERYONE UP HERE BRINGS A DIFFERENT POINT OF VIEW, A DIFFERENT WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE.

IT'S INTERESTING THAT WE MAY OFTEN VOTE SEVEN ZERO, BUT THE CONVERSATION AND THE DEBATE IS NEVER SEVEN ZERO.

THERE'S ALWAYS GOOD INFORMATION, A DIFFERENT POINT OF VIEW, A LOT OF BACK AND FORTH.

AND SHAWN, YOU'VE BEEN MAKING MY MOTIONS FOR YEARS NOW, AND WE REALLY HAVE IT DOWN.

AND I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR INSIGHT AND YOUR ABILITY TO CORRECT ME PUBLICLY WITHOUT ANYONE KNOWING EXCEPT ME.

AND THAT'S A TALENT.

SO BUT SHAWN AND I WILL BE WATCHING COUNCIL MEETINGS FROM HOME AND EATING OUR POPCORN AND LAUGHING AND SAYING, WELL, YOU KNOW, IF WE WERE THERE, THIS NEVER WOULD HAVE HAPPENED.

SO. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU, SHAWN. THANK YOU, SHAWN.

OK, SO MAYOR HILL, I HAVE TO ADMIT THAT I CLOSE THE DOOR TO MY OFFICE TODAY AND REHEARSED OVER AND OVER SO THAT THE WORDS WOULDN'T CHOKE ME UP, BUT I CAN'T MAKE ANY GUARANTEES.

YOU ARE FEARLESS, AN EFFECTIVE LEADER.

I HAVE LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF WORKING WITH YOU.

I'M JUST GOING TO SAY IT THAT WAY.

OK, SO WHERE DO WE EVEN START? I REMEMBER I ACTUALLY REMEMBER THE VERY FIRST TIME I MET YOU BECAUSE YOU MADE SUCH A BIG IMPRESSION ON ME.

AND WHAT'S BEEN SO COOL ABOUT THE LAST YEARS IS THAT EVERY DAY HAS BEEN SO MUCH FUN

[00:40:06]

AND IT'S BEEN SO REWARDING.

AND WE'VE TACKLED SOME TOUGH STUFF TOGETHER.

WE REALLY HAVE. SO I THOUGHT, WELL, HOW CAN I DISTILL ALL THAT INTO JUST A FEW WORDS? SO I CAME UP WITH SOME.

IT'S NOT AN EXHAUSTIVE LIST.

YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY THE MOST COMMITTED PUBLIC SERVANT I'VE EVER KNOWN.

STRATEGIC, INTELLIGENT, CARING, EFFECTIVE, TRANSPARENT, AND MIGHT I SAY INVALUABLE.

IT HAS BEEN SUCH AN HONOR AND I HAVE LEARNED SO MUCH FROM YOU.

DO YOU HAVE HIGH EXPECTATIONS? YES. YEAH, AND SOMETIMES I'M LIKE ZEN MODE, ZEN MODE.

BUT WE ALWAYS FIND A WAY AND THAT'S WHAT'S BEEN REALLY GREAT, IS THAT YOU'VE RAISED THE BAR AND YOU'VE TAUGHT ME YOU CAN RAISE THE BAR AND YOU CAN THINK ABOUT THINGS DIFFERENTLY AND YOU CAN GO FOR IT.

AND SO IT'S JUST BEEN AWESOME.

AND I THINK THAT I SPEAK FOR THE ENTIRE STAFF.

WHEN I SAY THE PAST TWO YEARS, YEAR AND A HALF HAVE BEEN INCREDIBLE, JUST SO HARD, SO CHALLENGING. AND IT WOULD HAVE BEEN EASY FOR US TO JUST GO TO OUR OFFICES AND CURL UP IN A FETAL POSITION.

EXCEPT WE HAD YOU KICKING OUR BUTTS LIKE, GO, GO, GO.

WE GOT TO DO. WE GOT TO DO.

AND WE DID IT.

WE CAME THROUGH IT. SO, SO THANKFUL FOR YOU.

I'M GOING TO STOP TALKING.

BUT THE LAST THING I WANT TO SAY IS I DON'T VIEW THIS AS THE END.

I THINK IN A WAY YOU'RE GOING TO ALWAYS BE WITH THIS BECAUSE OF YOUR LEGACY.

SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU. OK, GUYS, WHO WANTS TO TALK ABOUT ME? I'VE GOT A FEW THINGS TO SAY.

OH, MY GOODNESS. NO.

YEAH. WHERE WHERE DO WE START? IN ALL SERIOUSNESS MAYOR YOU HAVE BEEN A FANTASTIC MAYOR, JUST OUTSTANDING SIX YEARS OF TREMENDOUS LEADERSHIP TO OUR CITY.

AND, YOU KNOW, I THINK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WE THINK ABOUT SOME OF THE MORE EVIDENT AND PUBLIC THINGS THAT, YOU KNOW, BIG CASES THAT WE TALK ABOUT ARE POLICY ISSUES.

BUT I WAS ASKED RECENTLY ABOUT SOME OF MY MEMORIES ABOUT YOU.

AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT COMES TO MIND IS HOW INCREDIBLE YOU ARE WITH THE KIDS OF OUR COMMUNITY. AND I JUST WANT TO MENTION THAT, I MEAN, THAT GETS LOST SOMETIMES, BUT THE TIME THAT YOU INVEST IN THE YOUNG PEOPLE OF SOUTHLAKE HAS BEEN INCREDIBLE IN THE FOOTPRINT THAT YOU'VE LEFT.

THE EXAMPLE YOU'VE LEFT TO US, TO JOHN ON HOW TO CARRY THAT ON IS IS INVALUABLE.

I WAS SHARING WITH SOMEBODY EARLIER WHEN WHEN I WOULD WATCH YOU, WHETHER IT WAS MAYOR FOR THE DAY, FOR A KID UP IN THE OFFICE.

AND WE WATCH HIM COME IN AND THEY WERE SO EXCITED.

AND YOU WERE JUST IN THE MOMENT WITH THAT KID BECAUSE HOW SPECIAL IT WAS TO THEM OR MAYBE IT WAS TURNING ON THE LIGHTS AT HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS, HOW SPECIAL THOSE EVENTS WERE AND HAVING THE KID COME UP, WHO WAS GOING TO TURN THE LIGHTS ON, THAT JUST THAT MEANT A LOT TO ME BECAUSE IT WASN'T ALWAYS ABOUT JUST THE BIG BUSINESS OF RUNNING A CITY.

IT WAS ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THE SMALL OR SMALL CITIZENS.

AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE A COMMENT, BECAUSE THAT'S THAT WAS SPECIAL TO ME.

YOU KNOW, I WOULD ADD ONE OTHER THING IS, YOU KNOW, FOR YEARS I WAS ABLE TO SERVE AS AS YOUR MAYOR PRO TEM. AND THOSE ONE ON ONE CONVERSATIONS WERE SO SPECIAL, SO MUCH COLLABORATION, SO MUCH LEARNING.

YOU KNOW, FOR ME, SEEING HOW TO DO THIS JOB WELL.

AND AND, YOU KNOW, THOSE ARE THE THINGS I'M GOING TO MISS.

INTERESTINGLY, I HADN'T EVEN PREPARED TO SAY THIS BECAUSE I HAD NO IDEA THIS WOULD HAPPEN. BUT AS CHANCE WOULD HAVE IT, NORMALLY THE CONFERENCE ROOM BEFORE A MEETING IS BUSY. IT'S PEOPLE BUZZING ALL IN AND OUT.

THERE IS NO WAY TO HAVE A CONVERSATION.

BUT AS FATE WOULD HAVE IT, WE PROBABLY HAD 30 MINUTES BACK THERE AND IT WAS JUST LAURA AND I FOR 30 MINUTES, JUST TALKING, JUST TALKING THROUGH EVERYTHING OVER THE LAST SIX YEARS WHERE THINGS WERE GOING IN THE FUTURE.

AND THAT'S SPECIAL, I WISH OUR RESIDENTS COULD ALL HAVE 30 MINUTES WITH YOU LIKE THAT TO TO LEARN WHO YOU ARE BEYOND JUST MAYOR.

BUT YOUR SERVICE HAS BEEN IMPECCABLE AND IT'S SO IMPORTANT THAT YOU KNOW THAT AND AND THE CITY IS BETTER BECAUSE OF YOU.

SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I APPRECIATE THAT. MAYOR HILL, MR. HUFFMAN, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S ALREADY BEEN SIX YEARS.

IT'S INCREDIBLE. YOU KNOW, SO THIS SHAWN AND I MEAN ABOUT YOU, YOU KNOW, I REALLY I CHERISH OUR FRIENDSHIP IN SO MANY WAYS.

BUT IT REALLY STARTED SIX YEARS AGO WHEN WE WERE RUNNING.

AND I LOOKED UP TO YOU SO MUCH.

[00:45:01]

THE WAY YOU VIEW THE COMMUNITY JUST RALLIED AROUND YOU.

AND YOU COULD TELL THAT PEOPLE WERE GENUINELY EXCITED, LIKE LOVED GIVING OF THEIR TIME AND THEIR ENERGY TO WORK FOR YOU FOR FOR FOR YOUR ELECTION.

BUT IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE INVESTMENTS THAT YOU HAD MADE IN THEIR LIVES.

IT WAS REALLY, REALLY SPECIAL TO SEE.

AND, YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT'S PAID OFF.

YOU'VE HAD AN INCREDIBLE SIX YEARS.

YOU'VE HAD AN INCREDIBLE, SUCCESSFUL SIX YEARS AS MAYOR.

YOU'VE BROKE THE MOLD IN SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS.

I THINK, YOU KNOW, IF I COULD JUST SOME YOUR TENURE UP, YOU WERE THE PERFECT MAYOR FOR THIS SEASON OF SOUTHLAKE.

NO ONE COULD HAVE DONE IT BETTER.

AND WE ARE SO THANKFUL AND BLESSED IS A CITY THAT YOU WERE OUR MAYOR.

YOU YOUR COMMUNICATION STYLE WAS JUST PERFECT.

YOU KNOW, YOU TALKED EARLIER ABOUT THE NEED TO MEET THE CITIZENS WHERE THEY WERE, AND THAT'S WHAT YOU DID, WHETHER IT WAS MEET THE MAYOR, YOU KNOW, THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY GOING INTO I MEAN, HOW MANY DOZENS AND HUNDREDS PROBABLY OF MEET THE MAYOR EVENTS, PUTTING EYEBALLS ON SMALL BUSINESSES THAT THAT NEEDED IT.

YOUR YOUR YOUR AUTHENTICITY IN EVERYTHING YOU DO, YOU KNOW, WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET WITH YOU. AND, YOU KNOW, FOR ALL OF YOU LISTENING, YOU KNOW, LAURA BEHIND CLOSED DOORS IS THE SAME LAURA YOU SEE ON THIS DAIS WHICH I DON'T THINK YOU CAN SAY THAT ABOUT MANY POLITICIANS, BUT IT'S BUT IT'S REALLY TRUE ABOUT YOU.

YOU BROUGHT THIS ROLE INTO THE ERA OF SOCIAL MEDIA, FOR BETTER OR WORSE.

YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT A PETITION GOING.

WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO RENAME SOME OF THE SOUTHLAKE MOM'S FACEBOOK PAGES AFTER YOU IN YOUR HONOR.

[LAUGHTER] REMEMBER WHEN I DID THE BOYCOTT, THE HONORARY LAURA HILL SOUTHLAKE MOMS IS A GOOD RING TO IT. NO, IT'S REALLY IT'S REALLY FUN TO SEE YOU, TO SEE YOU COMMUNICATE AND TO SEE HOW HOW JUST EFFECTIVELY YOU COMMUNICATE WITH EVERYBODY, WHETHER IT'S IN PERSON OR ON SOCIAL MEDIA. YOU KNOW, I SAID THIS THE OTHER NIGHT, AT A MEET AND GREET, BUT I IT'S REALLY TRUE. SO MY MOM AND DAD WATCH ALL OF OUR COUNCIL MEETINGS.

AND I USED TO THINK THEY WATCHED IT BECAUSE OF ME.

AND MY MY MY DAD WAS LIKE, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE OK.

WE REALLY LIKE TO SEE LAURA AND HOW SHE HANDLES THE AND THE OCCASION WHERE SOME POOR HAPLESS DEVELOPER, YOU KNOW, BRINGS A HALF BAKED PLAN OR, YOU KNOW, TRIES TO TELL US SOMETHING THAT'S NOT TRUE.

AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S FUN.

IT'S FUN FOR EVERYBODY MUST SEE TV.

BUT YOU'VE BEEN AN AMAZING MENTOR.

WHAT YOU AND LET ME REITERATE WHAT YOU SAID.

YOU'VE MENTORED ALL OF US.

AND THE REALITY IS THAT ANYBODY ON THIS DAIS COULD HAVE BEEN THE NEXT MAYOR, EVERYBODY ON THIS DAIS. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN READY TO STEP UP, WHICH IS A TESTAMENT TO YOUR LEADERSHIP, THE PEOPLE THAT YOU HAVE SUPPORTED TO BE ON COUNCIL, BUT ALSO HOW YOU'VE GROOMED US AND TRAINED US TO BE LEADERS IN OUR OWN RIGHT.

YOU'VE BEEN A FRIEND TO ALL OF US AND YOU'VE CHALLENGED US WHEN WHEN WE NEEDED IT.

YOU KNOW, I DON'T THINK I CAN EVER BE THE MAYOR THAT YOU WERE.

BUT I HOPE THAT AFTER SIX YEARS, PEOPLE SAY OF ME THAT I WAS THE RIGHT MAYOR FOR THAT SEASON. AND I WANT YOU TO KNOW IF I'M BLESSED BY THE CITIZENS OF SOUTHLAKE TO CARRY THE MANTLE NEXT I'LL CARRY WITH HONOR.

AND I JUST REALLY APPRECIATE EVERYTHING YOU'VE TAUGHT ME AND ALL THE WORK THAT YOU PUT INTO THE CITY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANKS. I APPRECIATE IT.

COUNCIL MEMBER SMITH.

I'M JUST GOING TO TELL YOU, THIS PROBABLY WON'T BE SUPER SHORT, CHAD, SO IT WON'T BE THAT LONG. SO ONE OF MY AND I JUST TOLD THE STORY A LITTLE WHILE AGO, ONE OF MY LASTING IMAGES OF MAYOR HILL WAS I WAS STRUGGLING WITH THE IDEA OF RUNNING FOR COUNCIL, SOMETHING I NEVER THOUGHT OF. AND I DIDN'T WANT TO BE A COUNCILMAN.

I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IT ENTAILED.

WHEN I CALLED MAYOR HILL AND SHE SAID, YOU SHOULD DO IT IF YOU'RE THAT PASSIONATE OF BEING YOU KNOW, HAVING THE STATURE OF BEING A COUNCILMAN WILL BETTER ENABLE YOU TO HELP KIDS, FAMILIES AND BUSINESSES THAT I WANTED TO HELP.

AND I REMEMBER HER BEING ALWAYS SUPPORTIVE OF ME, NOT AS THE FIRST BLACK COUNCILMAN, BUT BECAUSE I WAS THE MOST QUALIFIED CANDIDATE.

YOU KNOW, MY IMAGE OF MAYOR HILL IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT FROM A LOT OF PEOPLE UP HERE.

ONE OF THE THINGS I'VE SEEN AND MY WIFE TALKS ABOUT THIS ALL THE TIME, MY WIFE AND KIDS ARE HUGE FANS OF MAYOR HILL.

MY DAUGHTER IS EVERY TIME I'M GOING TO COUNCIL, YOU KNOW, THE MAYOR, I'M LIKE, OK, SERIOUSLY, I'VE BEEN ON THERE FOR TWO YEARS NOW.

BUT SEEING BEHIND THE SCENES, I SAY THIS ALL THE TIME.

SHE TAKES SO MANY SLINGS AND ARROWS FOR US AS A COMMUNITY AND AS A COUNCIL.

THERE'S SO MUCH TIME AND ENERGY SHE PUTS IN BEHIND THE SCENES FOR THINGS SHE'S NEVER GONNA GET CREDIT FOR. YOU KNOW, I'LL JUST SAY IT.

I MEAN, I FEEL LIKE A LOT OF TIMES BECAUSE SHE'S A CONSERVATIVE WHITE WOMAN, SHE'S NOT GOING TO GET CREDIT FOR THE ENERGY SHE PUTS IN TO DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION IN THIS COMMUNITY. I CAN SAY THAT I KNOW IT.

I'VE SEEN IT. AND THAT'S NOT ME TOOTING HER HORN.

IT'S JUST SHE DOES A LOT OF THINGS THAT EITHER PEOPLE AREN'T EVERY GOING TO SEE IF THEY SEE THAT THEY'RE NOT GOING TO GIVE HER CREDIT FOR.

SHE BUST HER, YOU KNOW WHAT TO BRING THIS COMMUNITY TOGETHER, I'VE SEEN HER DO MORE THAN I THAN I WOULD HAVE EVER DONE IF I'M NOT GOING TO GET CREDIT FOR IT AND SHE CONTINUES TO STEP UP AND DO THE RIGHT THINGS.

THAT'S A TREMENDOUS TESTAMENT TO THE QUALITY OF PERSON THAT SHE IS.

[00:50:02]

I'M GOING TO MISS HER.

OBVIOUSLY, MY WIFE'S GOING TO MISS HER, TOO, BECAUSE SHE'S BEEN TALKING ABOUT FOR THE LAST TWO WEEKS. YOU'RE A LOVELY PERSON.

THE IMAGE I HAVE OF YOU AND I'VE SAID THIS CONTINUALLY FOR THE LAST WEEK, IS THAT YOU'VE BEEN YOU'VE LED THIS CITY WITH STRENGTH, DIGNITY AND CHARACTER.

AND I JUST LOVE THAT ABOUT YOU.

SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THAT MEANS A LOT. YOU GUYS WANT TO TALK OVER ON THIS? THAT WAS NICE. THEY DID A GOOD JOB.

YEAH, THAT WAS THAT WAS NICE RONELL.

THAT WAS NICE. THAT WAS NICE WHAT YOU GOT.

OH, I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN BEAT THOSE.

I DON'T. I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T KNOW.

I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN I CAN TAKE THOSE DOWN.

BUT MAN I HAVE TO SAY, LAURA HILL, YOU GOT ME INTO THIS FIVE YEARS AGO AND I AM SO THANKFUL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE THIS COMMUNITY.

YOU HAVE BEEN AND I'VE SAID THIS COUNTLESS TIMES, THE BIGGEST CHEERLEADER SELF PROCLAIMED BY THE WAY.

SHE ALWAYS WANTED TO BE A CHEERLEADER AND SHE GOT TO BE THE CAPTAIN, THIS CHEERLEADING SQUAD FOR THE LAST SIX YEARS.

AND I GOT TO BE ON THE SQUAD, TOO.

AND TO WATCH HER LEAD HAS BEEN JUST AN ABSOLUTE BLAST.

AND I'VE LEARNED SO MUCH FROM YOU.

WHAT HAS MADE ME SO PROUD OF YOUR EFFORTS IS YOU LEADING UP FRONT, WHETHER IT'S SOMETHING EXTREMELY CONTROVERSIAL THAT NEEDS SOMEONE IN THIS COMMUNITY TO STEP UP.

YOU TACKLED IT.

YOU JUMPED IN FIRST, FIRST, FOREMOST, AND WITH EVERYTHING YOU HAD NOT INTIMIDATED BY A SINGLE BULLY IN THIS COMMUNITY READY TO FACE THEM HEAD ON.

AND TO RANDY'S POINT, READY TO TAKE THE YOUNGEST, MOST ASPIRING YOUNG ADULT IN OUR COMMUNITY AND WRAP YOUR ARMS AROUND THEM AND SHOW THEM HOW MUCH YOU LOVE THEM, TOO, AND HOW IMPORTANT THEY ARE FOR THIS COMMUNITY GOING FORWARD.

AND IT'S JUST IT'S JUST BEEN AN AWESOME RIDE TO WATCH YOU GO THROUGH THIS EXPERIENCE AND AND FOR ALL OF US TO LEARN.

AND TO CATHY'S POINT, YOU KNOW, YOU KIND OF COME UP HERE AND SERVING IN OTHER BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS, YOU THINK YOU THINK YOU HAVE A GENERAL IDEA WHAT'S GOING ON.

AND UNTIL YOU SIT UP HERE FOR A WHILE, YOU REALLY DON'T.

AND YOU HAVE BEEN ABLE TO THROUGH OSMOSIS, THROUGH JUST BEING AN INCREDIBLE LEADER, JUST PASS THAT THROUGH TO ALL OF US.

AND YOU'VE DONE IT OUT FRONT.

AND I'M SO GRATEFUL FOR IT.

I REALLY AM. I REALLY AM.

I'M GRATEFUL FOR THE TIMES WHEN WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN ALONG.

AND I'M GRATEFUL FOR THE TIMES THAT WE HAVE, BECAUSE ALWAYS THAT ONE, THERE'S THAT ONE TIME. BUT THEY ALL THEY ALL ARE TEACHING LESSONS IN LIFE.

RIGHT. AND THEY ALL HELP US BUILD OUR CHARACTER.

AND SO TO RANDY'S POINT, I, TOO, WAS ASKED SOME SOME FOND MEMORIES AND SOME THAT REALLY STICK WITH ME. AND I WANT TO SHARE THEM WITH YOU.

AND THIS AUDIENCE IS IS WHEN WE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO JAPAN, I WAS A NEOPHYTE COUNCIL MEMBER AND WE HAD THE PLEASURE OF THE MAYOR AND I DID TO REPRESENT SOUTHLAKE AS AMBASSADORS WITH THE CITY OF TOMÉ AND THEIR LEADERSHIP.

AND YOU COULDN'T HAVE IDENTIFIED A BETTER PERSON TO LEAD THIS COMMUNITY AND TO TO BE THE AMBASSADOR FOR OUR COMMUNITY THAN LAURA.

AND SO JUST TO BE WITH HER THROUGH THAT AND TO BE WITH HER SON, WHO GOT TO BE A PART OF THAT WAS SUCH A SPECIAL SPECIAL TRIP.

AND IT'S SUCH A FOND MEMORY.

AND AS I KIND OF THOUGHT THROUGH THE OTHER THINGS, THERE ARE SO MANY FUN THINGS THAT WE'VE DONE OVER THE YEARS.

AND IF YOU WOULD INDULGE ME, I'D LIKE TO JUST SHARE SOME OF THE THINGS, SOME SOME NUMBERS WITH YOU, IF I COULD.

AND THIS REALLY KIND OF IMPACTS SHAWN AND JOHN AS WELL.

BUT SINCE MAY OF 2015, THERE'S A FEW NUMBERS THAT I'D LIKE TO SHARE WITH YOU.

SEVEN HUNDRED AND NINETY FIVE CASES YOU HAVE YOU HAVE LED OVER AS THE MAYOR.

THAT'S A LOT, BY THE WAY, 795 CASES, 128 CASES IN THE CORRIDOR PLANNING COMMITTEE, WHICH YOU CREATED. THAT WAS THIRTY ONE MEETINGS, 128 CASES OF WHICH NOT ALL OF THEM MADE IT HERE. YOU MADE OUR LIVES EASIER BECAUSE YOU CREATED A CORRIDOR COMMITTEE THAT GAVE APPLICANTS A CHANCE TO GET A FIRST PASS BEFORE THEY SPENT TOO MUCH MONEY.

THAT'S FORESIGHT.

THAT'S LEADERSHIP. AND THAT TAKES SOMEONE WHO KNOWS KNOWS WHAT THEY'RE DOING TO BE ABLE TO COME UP WITH SOMETHING LIKE THAT. SO I'M THANKFUL FOR THAT.

FOUR HUNDRED AND THIRTY NEW BUSINESSES OPENED THEIR DOORS WHILE LAURA HILL WAS THE MAYOR.

ELEVEN MILES OF SIDEWALKS WERE LAID BY YOU.

TWENTY TWO MOBILITY PROJECTS COMPLETED FOR 83 MILLION DOLLARS.

AND WE DID THAT WITH CASH.

WE DID THAT WITH CASH. SEVENTEEN UTILITY PROJECTS FOR ALMOST EIGHTY THREE MILLION DOLLARS DONE WITH CASH. FIVE FACILITY PROJECTS AND WE CAN GET IN A LITTLE BIT MORE OF THOSE LATER, PRIMARILY DONE WITH CASH.

ALMOST 60 MILLION DOLLARS, RIGHT? FORTY TWO MILES OF ROADWAYS THAT HAVE BEEN REHABILITATED.

AND THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE 17 BILLION.

YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS? GALLONS OF WATER SERVED TO OUR COMMUNITY, 17 BILLION GALLONS OF WATER. WE HAVE OPENED THE MARK WHILE LAURA, JOHN AND SHAWN AND JOHN HAVE BEEN SITTING IN THESE SEATS. ARIA AMPITHEATER WAS OPENED, CHAMPIONS CLUB, THE RENOVATIONS OF BICENTENNIAL PARK, THE TENNIS CENTER AND THE ENCLOSED CAPTION OF THE TENNIS CENTER.

AND I'LL FINISH WITH JUST A FEW MORE.

[00:55:01]

I KNOW SOMETHING ALSO DEAR TO YOUR HEART IS THE PUBLIC ART IN OUR COMMUNITY.

WE'VE LAID DOWN NINE PIECES OF ART IN SOUTHLAKE.

IDENTIFY THOSE LOCATIONS FOR YOU REAL QUICKLY.

THE ARIA AMPITHEATER, SOUTHLAKE COMMONS, DOVE AND PAYTONVILLE ROUNDABOUT THE HIGHLAND WHITE CHAPEL ROUNDABOUT, THE [INAUDIBLE] ROAD ROUNDABOUT, BICENTENNIAL PARK, TOWN HALL, BOB JONES PARK AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, THE SOON TO BE PARK VILLAGE RP'S.

ALL THAT IS DONE WITH YOU LEADING US ALL THROUGH THIS ENTIRE PROCESS.

I THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, LAURA.

YOUR RECORD SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.

I MEAN, WE COULD BE HERE ALL NIGHT GOING OVER YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

I'M GOOD WITH THAT. OK, WELL, IF RONELL WON'T INTERRUPT ME, I'LL GO AHEAD.

[LAUGHTER] BUT REALLY, IT GOES BACK BEFORE YOU WERE ELECTED MAYOR WAS STARTING TO SAY SO AND THEN CONTINUED ON AND THEN ESTABLISHING SKILL AND THEN THE MAYOR'S ALLIANCE FOR UNITY AND CULTURE AND THEN MORE.

I GOT SUBSTANTIVE POLICY, THINGS LIKE LEADING US TO IMPLEMENTING THE MAXIMUM HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION, PROPERTY TAX CUTS THREE YEARS IN A ROW, INCLUDING LAST YEAR DURING THE PANDEMIC, PAYING DOWN CITY DEBT FROM EIGHTY SOMETHING MILLION INTO THE TWENTY SOMETHING MILLION RANGE OVER SIX YEARS.

THOSE ARE THINGS THAT ARE UNHEARD OF.

AND SOUTHLAKE IS A BEACON OF PROSPERITY AND RESPECT BECAUSE OTHER COMMUNITIES LOOK AT WHAT YOU HAVE DONE IN LEADING THE CITY.

AND MORE THAN ANYTHING, THOUGH, YOUR RECORD ON OPEN AND TRANSPARENT AND ACCESSIBLE GOVERNMENT IS SOMETHING THAT IS REALLY AMAZING.

OTHER COMMUNITIES MAY SPEAK TO IT OR WANT IT, BUT WE DO IT.

AND UNDER YOUR LEADERSHIP, THE LAST SIX YEARS, YOU'VE MADE YOU'VE WALKED THE WALK AND NOT ONLY TALK THE TALK, BUT WALK THE WALK.

AND OUR RESIDENTS ARE MORE ENGAGED THAN EVER BECAUSE OF IT.

AND THAT MAKES US A BETTER COMMUNITY.

IT REALLY DOES. SOMETIMES WE MIGHT NOT LIKE THE MESSAGES WE'RE GETTING BACK OR THE FEEDBACK WE'RE GETTING BACK, BUT THAT AT LEAST GIVES US AN OPPORTUNITY TO FIX IT OR TO HAVE A CONVERSATION AND ADDRESS THE ISSUES.

AND THAT'S REALLY BEEN ALL YOU.

AND WE'VE WE'VE TRIED TO HELP YOU WITH THAT LOAD, BUT YOU'VE REALLY TAKEN THE LEAD ON THAT. AND OUR COMMUNITY IS BETTER FOR IT.

I REALLY LOOK AT OUR CITY COUNCIL AND THERE'S SOME TURNOVER EVERY YEAR, BUT WE REALLY ARE A FAMILY. WE'RE NOT JUST COLLEAGUES.

WE REALLY ARE FAMILY.

I REALLY BELIEVE THAT WITH ALL MY HEART AND YOU'VE TAKEN THE LEAD IN MAKING SURE WE OPERATE AS A TEAM AND AS A FAMILY, EVEN ON NIGHTS WHERE WE HAVE A FOUR THREE VOTE OR WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE, WE SHAKE HANDS OR HUG OR WHATEVER, AND IT'S ALL GOOD.

AND THAT'S YOU'VE LED BY EXAMPLE TO MAKE SURE WE STAY FOCUSED ON ON REPRESENTING THE CITY AND NOT ANY KIND OF INDIVIDUAL AGENDAS.

YOU'VE GIVEN US AS MUCH RESPONSIBILITY TO DO OUR OWN THING AS WE CAN HANDLE, AND WE'RE GRATEFUL FOR IT. YOU'VE GIVEN US THAT FREEDOM TO GO INTO AREAS THAT WE WANTED TO TO EXPLORE, AND THAT'S GOOD LEADERSHIP AND SORT OF DELEGATING THAT.

AND I APPRECIATE IT.

AND JUST IN CONCLUSION, IT'S BEEN A BLESSING AND A PRIVILEGE TO SERVE WITH YOU.

I KNOW SIX YEARS AGO I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ELECTED WITHOUT YOUR HELP AND YOUR ENDORSEMENT AND YOUR SUPPORT AND YOUR FRIENDSHIP.

AND IT'S I'M SITTING HERE BECAUSE OF YOU AND I'LL BE FOREVER GRATEFUL FOR THAT.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU.

COUNCIL MEMBER TALLEY, CAN I JUST SAY DITTO? AND I DO FEEL CHEATED OUT OF ABOUT SIX MONTHS OF SERVING UNDER YOU, BUT THAT'S OK.

I WAS VERY BLESSED TO HAVE YOUR WISDOM AND GUIDANCE IN RUNNING A CAMPAIGN LAST YEAR, EVEN THOUGH, YOU KNOW, YOU WERE BUSY LEADING OUR CITY THROUGH COVID.

YOU DID, OF COURSE, TAKE THE TIME TO ANSWER QUESTIONS AND AND HELP GUIDE ME THROUGH THAT PROCESS. I WANT TO ECHO WHAT JOHN SAID.

YOU KNOW, WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET AND WHAT YOU GET.

AND WHAT YOU'VE GOTTEN AS A CITY IS PRETTY INCREDIBLE.

YOU DEFINITELY ARE A REFLECTION OF THOSE AROUND YOU AND THOSE AROUND YOU ARE A REFLECTION OF YOU. AND HAVING SERVED NOW FOR SOME TIME AND GETTING TO KNOW THE CITY STAFF AND CITY LEADERSHIP BETTER, THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY A REFLECTION OF YOU.

AND THEY ARE SUCH AN INCREDIBLE TEAM OF PEOPLE.

AND I KNOW THEY LOOK UP TO YOU AND RESPECT YOU, AS DO I, OF COURSE.

AND. THAT'S WHY OUR CITY IS WHERE OUR CITY IS, AND IT IS, I THINK YOU SAID, A BEACON AND IT'S IT'S AN INCREDIBLE PLACE TO LIVE.

AND FOR THAT, WE ARE ALL ETERNALLY GRATEFUL AND GRATEFUL TO YOU FOR YOUR 12 YEARS OF LEADERSHIP ON COUNCIL AND AS MAYOR FOR PLACING OUR CITY IN THAT POSITION.

AND AS A WOMAN, I ALSO KNOW FOR ME PERSONALLY AND FOR THOSE THAT I HAVE SPOKEN TO IN THE COMMUNITY OVER THE YEARS, WHAT A MENTOR AND A GREAT EXAMPLE YOU ARE FOR OTHER WOMEN AND IN PARTICULAR YOUNG WOMEN.

RANDY TALKED ABOUT THE YOUNG PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY, AND I KNOW THAT THERE ARE GOING TO

[01:00:02]

BE FUTURE LEADERS WHO ARE GOING TO SOMEDAY BE IN A POSITION OF LEADERSHIP AND BE THANKING YOU FOR THAT AND AND FOR THAT.

I'M ALSO ETERNALLY GRATEFUL.

IT'S BEEN AN HONOR AND A BLESSING TO SERVE WITH YOU AND ON COUNCIL.

AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT THE NEXT GREAT THING IS IN STORE FOR YOU.

SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH.

I REALLY APPRECIATE IT. I THINK NEXT WE'RE GOING TO GO DOWN AND DO THE COUNCIL WILL GO DOWN, WILL PRESENT SOME GIFTS AND TAKE SOME PHOTOGRAPHS.

OK, GREAT. AND THEN WE'LL HAVE THE RECEPTION AND THEN WE'LL HAVE CAKE .

SO IT'S OUR TRADITION TO PRESENT GIFTS TO OUTGOING COUNCIL MEMBERS, AND IF YOU GUYS WANT TO YEAH, YOU'LL BE DOING YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS TOGETHER.

WE'LL START WITH DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM HUFFMAN.

AND IF COUNCIL MEMBERS CAN HELP ME PRESENT, WE HAVE A PLAQUE IF YOU GUYS WANT TO GO AHEAD. YEAH.

WONDERING IF I SHOULD BRING SOME STAFF UP AT THIS POINT.

IF EVERYBODY WILL.

SO, KATHY, BEFORE BEFORE THE PHOTOGRAPH, WE HAVE TWO MORE THINGS.

SO, KATHY, IF YOU'LL TAKE THAT AND PRESENT IT TO COUNCIL MEMBER HUFFMAN, THIS IS A PHOTOGRAPH OF TOWN HALL WITH A KEY TO THE CITY.

AND MAYBE YOUR FELLOW COUNCIL MEMBERS CAN HELP YOU HOLD THESE ITEMS IN THE PHOTO.

AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE A MEMORY BOX RIGHT THERE AND WITHIN THAT MEMORY BOX ARE CARDS AND MEMENTOS FROM THE STAFF AND OTHER ADMIRERS.

AND SO.

THANK YOU.

LET'S GIVE HIM A ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR ALL THE YEARS.

[APPLAUSE] MAYOR PRO TEM MCCASKILL, SO AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.

WE WE HAVE THE SAME GIFTS FOR YOU, THE KEY TO THE CITY AND ALSO MEMORY BOX, IF YOU WANT TO PRESENT THAT TO HIM AND YOU GUYS CAN HELP HIM HOLD THOSE THINGS FOR THE PHOTOGRAPH.

IT'S MAKING NOTES FOR NEXT YEAR.

THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER MCCASKILL, ROUND OF APPLAUSE YAY! [APPLAUSE] SO NEXT UP, MAYOR HILL, I BELIEVE IT'S POSSIBLE THAT YOU HAVE A FRAMED PHOTOGRAPH OF TOWN HALL WITH THE KEY TO THE CITY. SO THIS YEAR WE OPTED FOR THE I BELIEVE IN SOUTHLAKE MURAL.

THIS HAS BEEN YOUR MANTRA.

IT'S BEEN PERFECT AND WE HOPE TO CONTINUE IT.

SO THAT IS HOPEFULLY SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT FOR YOU, ALONG WITH THE PLAQUE AND A MEMORY BOX AS WELL.

AND THEN WE HAVE ONE VERY SPECIAL GIFT THAT I WANT TO TELL YOU ABOUT.

AND CHAD IS HOLDING IT HERE.

THIS IS A PORTFOLIO, MAYOR.

WE HAVE RESOLUTIONS AND LETTERS FROM EVERY ELECTED OFFICIAL, FROM OUR US SENATORS AND CONGRESSMEN ON DOWN.

[01:05:17]

SO.

PERFECT, THANK YOU. OH, WOW.

OH, GOOD. ENJOY.

AT THE BOTTOM, I WAS GOING TO HAVE IT ENGRAVED, BUT LAURA HILL WAS THE BEST MAYOR EVER.

BUT I DIDN'T HAVE THE NERVE.

OK, GOOD EVENING.

I THINK WE ALL GOT WE'VE ALL GOT ONE NOW, SO YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND GET STARTED.

OK, THANK YOU. CLOSE ENOUGH NOW.

YOU'RE FINE. OK, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR SERVICE AND FOR ALLOWING ME TO SPEAK TONIGHT. MY NAME IS DONNA VINING.

I AM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FOR TEXAS ASSOCIATION FOR INTERIOR DESIGN.

MANY OF YOU MAY OR MAY NOT KNOW THAT INTERIOR DESIGNERS ARE REGISTERED IN THE STATE OF TEXAS. GOVERNOR ANN RICHARDS SIGNED OUR BILL INTO LAW IN 1991.

SO WE ARE CELEBRATING 30 YEARS TODAY OR THIS YEAR.

THE INTERNATIONAL BUILDING CODE IS ADOPTED BY THE STATE OF TEXAS AND THEN JURISDICTIONS ADOPT THAT BUILDING CODE, BUT THEY ARE ABLE TO CHANGE THAT BUILDING CODE IF THEY SEE FIT.

I AM HERE TONIGHT BECAUSE YOU SAW TO CHANGE THAT BUILDING CODE.

THE FIRST PAGE THAT YOU HAVE IS A COPY OF YOUR STATUTES.

AND I HIGHLIGHTED SECTION 1071 AMEND [INAUDIBLE] AS FOLLOWS, AND I HIGHLIGHTED IN ORANGE ALOS LOWER REASON TO CLARIFY DESIGN PROFESSIONALS, ARCHITECT AND ENGINEER THE QUICK SOLUTION AS WE LOSE THOSE.

AND IN PARAGRAPH 1071 WE REINSTATE THE ITEM THAT STRIKETHROUGH AND REMOVE THE STUFF THAT'S UNDERLINED. THIS IS THE PART OF THE INTERNATIONAL BUILDING CODE THAT ALLOWS OUR SEAL TO BE ACCEPTED ON PLANS.

WE GO THROUGH.

IF YOU GO TO A UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS, YOU SIT IN THE SAME CLASSES FOR TWO AND A HALF YEARS WITH THE ARCHITECTS. THEY GO TO SITE AND OUTSIDE WE GO TO INTERIORS.

WE HAVE A FOUR YEAR DEGREE.

THEN WE HAVE TWO YEARS THAT WE HAVE TO HAVE UNDER A LICENSED PROFESSIONAL AND THEN WE SIT FOR A THREE PART EXAM.

IT'S BASICALLY ALL INTERIORS.

WE ARE NOT REGULATING HOMES.

WE'RE REGULATING BASICALLY CODE BASED ENVIRONMENTS, HOSPITALS, OFFICE BUILDINGS, INSTITUTIONAL, EDUCATIONAL, THINGS LIKE THAT.

WE DO NOT WANT TO PUT ANYBODY OUT OF BUSINESS.

IT IS A VOLUNTARY REGISTRATION WHICH APPROXIMATELY 4000 PEOPLE HAVE CHOSEN TO DO IN THE STATE. IN ORDER TO DO THAT WORK.

WE ARE MOSTLY SMALL WOMEN OWNED BUSINESSES.

I THINK EVERYBODY STILL LIKES US.

WE WANT TO TRY TO MAKE A LIVING AT DOING WHAT WE DO AFTER THAT PAGE.

I HAVE A WHOLE BUNCH OF THINGS CLIPPED TOGETHER FOR YOU.

THEY ARE FROM AUSTIN, CARROLLTON, DALLAS, FRISCO AND HOUSTON.

I HAVE TABBED WHERE THE DESIGNER HAS SEALED THOSE DOCUMENTS.

MOST CITIES WE KNOW I HAVEN'T HEARD, IN FACT, IN A LONG TIME OF A CITY THAT DIDN'T ACCEPT OUR SEAL. AND THEN ONE OF OUR MEMBERS TRIED TO PERMIT A DENTIST OFFICE HERE AND WAS DENIED. THAT IS THE WHOLE REASON I'M HERE FOR YOU, HOPING THAT YOU WILL CHANGE THAT RULE AND ALLOW US TO STAMP AND SEAL OUR DRAWINGS.

[01:15:01]

WE DON'T TOUCH STRUCTURE, QUITE FRANKLY.

MOST OF OUR JOBS ARCHITECTS DON'T WANT BECAUSE THEY'RE VERY SMALL.

DOCTOR EITHER NEEDS REFURBISHING OR NEW EQUIPMENT AND THEY'RE SMALL AMOUNTS OF WORK TO BE DONE. AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I THINK MY TIME IS GONE IF ANY QUESTIONS OR ANYTHING ELSE.

GREAT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Southlake Blvd. (The Jane address is 1151 E. Southlake Blvd., Ste. 390). Current Zoning: "S-P-1" Detailed Site Plan District. SPIN Neighborhood #9. PUBLIC HEARING]

MAYOR, MEMBERS OF COUNCIL.

THIS REQUEST IS FOR THE APPROVAL OF A SITE PLAN TO ALLOW AN OUTDOOR COVERED PATIO FOR A STRUCTURE FOR THE JANE IN PARK VILLAGE.

THE TENNIS SPACES ADDRESS IS SHOWN ON THE SLIDE.

THE JANE IS A RESTAURANT TYPE TENANT LOCATED IN SPACE WHERE THE ARROWS INDICATED IN THE PARK VILLAGE SHOPPING CENTER WHEN PARK VILLAGE ZONING WAS APPROVED.

IT DID ALLOW OUTDOOR PATIOS BUT REQUIRED THOSE PATIOS COME BEFORE THE COUNCIL AS SITE PLANS PRIOR TO BUILDING PERMIT ISSUANCE.

THIS IS JUST AN AERIAL SHOWING LOCATION.

YOU CAN SEE THE SMALLER FOUNTAIN TO THE EAST.

THIS IS WHERE THE OLD PROTEIN FIT KITCHEN WAS, A PREVIOUS TENANT COUNCIL DID APPROVE A TEMPORARY OUTDOOR DINING SPACE FOR A ONE YEAR PERIOD, AND THE APPLICANT WAS IN COMING IN WITH A FULL BLOWN OUTDOOR PATIO DINING AREA.

BUT THAT APPLICANT NEVER MOVE FORWARD.

BUT THESE STRUCTURES WERE APPROVED BACK IN 2017.

THESE ARE SOME OF THE EXISTING PATIOS IN THE SHOPPING CENTER.

YOU GOT LUNA GRILL, [INAUDIBLE] KITCHEN, TAVERNA ROSA AND GLORIA'S.

THERE IS A VARIANCE REQUEST AS PART OF THIS APPLICATION TO NOT CLOUD THE COLUMNS.

THE MALAI KITCHEN RECEIVED A VARIANCE TO THAT PROVISION.

IN ADDITION, WHEN YOU RECENTLY APPROVED THE CONCEPT FOR THE FOUNTAIN AREA, THE ARBOR OR THE SHAPE, THE STRUCTURE THAT IS JUST TO THE SOUTH OF THE OUTDOOR PLAY AREA IN THE HALF FOUNTAIN, HAD THE MORE METAL STEEL LOOK AND DIDN'T HAVE THE CLAD COLUMNS.

THIS IS THE PHOTO OF THE EXISTING STORE FRONT, EXISTING FACADE.

THIS IS JUST LOOK IN THE OTHER DIRECTION.

THIS IS THE DETAILED SITE PLAN.

THESE ARE SOME PATIO RENDERINGS, METAL, ALUMINUM TYPE STRUCTURES WITH PLANTER BOXES.

THESE ARE [INAUDIBLE] AT THE TOP ON THE ROOF.

ALSO, THEY ASK APPROVAL TO ALLOW FOR THE SCREENS TO ALLOW THE OUTDOOR SPACE BE USED DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER.

THERE'S A FEW MORE ELEVATIONS AND THERE ARE SOME DETAILS IN YOUR PACKET.

THERE IS ONE VARIANCE REQUEST, THE ORDINANCE DOES REQUIRE THAT THE STRUCTURAL SUPPORT

[01:20:01]

COLUMNS BE CONSTRUCTED OR CLAD THE SAME MASONRY MATERIALS OF THE PRINCIPAL BUILDING, AND THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTED A VARIANCE TO DO THIS.

THERE IS ONLY ONE RESPONSE RECEIVED AND JUST OUTSIDE OF 200 FOOT AREA IN FAVOR.

I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, ANY QUESTIONS OF STAFF, ANY QUESTIONS IN GENERAL ABOUT THIS. I THINK IT LOOKS GOOD.

YEAH, I MEAN, YOU REALLY HAVE TO HAVE IT.

I MEAN, YOU HAVE TO HAVE OUTDOOR SEATING.

OK, THIS ITEM IS A PUBLIC HEARING.

IS THERE ANYONE HERE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? I DO. AND LET ME JUST MENTION SO I DON'T MISS THE ITEM IS THERE DAN [INAUDIBLE].

IS THERE A GENTLEMAN HERE NAMED DAN? NO. OK, THEY FILLED OUT A PUBLIC COMMENT CARD.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S FOR.

BUT IF SOMEONE COMES IN NAMED DAN, I WAS ASKING FOR THEM.

OK, I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

IS THERE A MOTION? YES, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM SIX B CASE NUMBER ZA21-0010 SITE PLAN FOR THE JANE PATIO COVER LOCATED AT 1035 E.

AND IF COUNCIL HAS ANY PARTICULAR QUESTIONS ABOUT ANY OF THESE, JUST LET US KNOW WHICH ITEM. SO THANK YOU.

JUST TO MAKE SURE I'M CLEAR, I THINK SIX D IS DIFFERENT.

I THOUGHT THERE WERE FOUR OF THEM.

I DON'T KNOW WHY D IS WHERE IT'S AT BUT.

YEAH, YEAH. 6C, 6D IS.

YOU GOT IT. YOU TRY TO MESS ME UP AT THE END.

RIGHT. MAKING ME LOOK BAD.

ALL RIGHT. OK, THIS IS ITEM.

SIX C. YEAH. THIS IS A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR RESIDENTIAL SOLAR AT 1211 TIMBER COURT.

THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING THE SUP FOR RESIDENTIAL SOLAR SYSTEM.

THE REASON THIS IS COMING FOR YOU BECAUSE IT EXCEEDS YOUR MAXIMUM SQUARE FOOT FOR THE ADMINISTRATIVE APPROVAL.

THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED ON TIMBER COURT, WHICH IS IN THE SOUTHERNMOST PART OF THE CITY NEAR BIG BEAR CREEK.

JUST KELLER IS TO THE TO THE SOUTH.

IT IS IN A LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL AREA.

TURN ZONING IS SF 1A.

THIS IS AN AERIAL.

SUBJECT PROPERTY IS HIGHLIGHTED IN THE BLUE LINE.

JUST A COUPLE OF OBLIQUE ANGLES SHOWING LOCATION OF THE HOUSE.

IT'S ABOUT THREE HUNDRED TWENTY FIVE FEET TO THE REAR PROPERTY LINE.

ALL THE SOLAR PANEL ARRAYS ARE ON THE SOUTH SIDE OR THE SIDE NOT FACING THE STREET ON THE PROPERTY. IN ADDITION, THERE'S A PRETTY HEAVY WOODED TREE LINE TO THE SOUTH ALONG THE CREEK AREA. THIS IS THE PROPOSED SOLAR ARRAY SHOWING THIRTY NINE SOLAR PANELS ON THE THE MAIN HOUSE AND THEN EIGHTEEN SOLAR PANELS ON AN ACCESSORY BUILDING.

JUST A SOME DETAILS ON THE PROPOSED SOLAR ARRAY AND SOME RENDERINGS PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT.

THESE ARE SOME VIEWS OF THE HOME FROM THE STREET.

THESE ARE THE SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNER RESPONSES THAT RECEIVED AT THE TIME OF THE MEETING ARE IN FAVOR.

WE DO HAVE A LIST OF ALL OF YOUR APPROVALS SINCE 2016, IF WE NEED TO REFERENCE THAT RECOMMENDED APPROVAL, SEVEN ZERO AT THEIR LAST MEETING.

THE NEXT PRESENTATION WILL BE ITEM SIX E.

[01:25:03]

THIS IS A RESOLUTION FOR A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR RESIDENTIAL SOLAR ENERGY AT 1603 REGAL OAKS DRIVE. THIS PROPERTY ALSO HAS A LOW DENSITY LAND USE DESIGNATION, IT'S LOCATED JUST TO THE NORTH OF TUSCAN RIDGE OFF OF RANDALL MILL BEND.

THERE WAS A SOLAR ARRAY APPROVED TO THE PROPERTY JUST TO THE WEST OF THIS SUBJECT PROPERTY. THIS IS AN AERIAL.

AND A COUPLE OBLIQUE ANGLES, BOTH DIRECTIONS FROM LOOKING FROM REGAL OAKS AND THEN BACK TOWARDS REGLA OAKS BACK TO THE NORTH.

THIS IS THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN, ALL THE ARRAYS ON THE BACK OF THE HOUSE.

FIFTY FIVE THOUSAND SQUARE FEET, AGAIN, EXCEEDED THE 500 FOOT MINIMUM IS THE ONLY REASON IT DIDN'T GO THROUGH THE ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESS.

FROM THE FURTHER SOUTH SOLAR ARRAY TO THE PROPERTY LINE, IT'S ABOUT 100 FEET AGAIN.

THERE'S A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT TREE LINE BETWEEN THE RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES A COUPLE OF YEARS. AS MENTIONED, COUNCIL DID APPROVE BACK IN 2018 THE SOLAR ARRAY ON THE PROPERTY JUST TO THE WEST OF THIS PROPERTY, 1603, IS THE PROPERTY UNDER CONSIDERATION? IT WAS A 30 SOLAR PANEL ARRAY SHOWN IN THE EXHIBIT.

THIS IS THE RESPONSES I'VE RECEIVED AS OF TODAY.

IN FAVOR. AND AGAIN, THE LAST YOU CAN SEE, THE REGAL OAKS 180042 WAS APPROVED BACK IN.

NOVEMBER OF 2018.

THAT'S SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR SOLAR ARRAY AT 2910 HARBOR REFUGE.

THIS IS A LOW DENSITY LAND USE DESIGNATION SF-1 ZONING.

THIS IS A SUBJECT PROPERTY.

SOME OF THE ARRAYS WILL GO ON THE MAIN HOUSE.

THERE'S AN ACCESSORY BUILDING LOCATED AT THE REAR PROPERTY LINE.

THE ZBA DID GRANT A RELIEF TO THE SETBACK OF THIS PARTICULAR BUILDING BACK IN 2017 TO ALLOW IT TO TO EXCEED THE 40 FOOT SET BACK IN THE BACKYARD.

SO THERE'S 14 PANELS ON THE MAIN PORTION OF THE HOUSE, 20 SOLAR PANELS.

THIS IS AN AERIAL. IT'S A SIX HUNDRED AND SEVENTY SQUARE FEET, SEVENTY FOUR SQUARE FEET, THIRTY FOUR SOLAR PANELS ARE BEING PROPOSED.

A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT ANGLES AND SOME VIEWS.

THE PROPERTY FROM THE PROPERTY LINE.

FROM THIS ARRAY BACK TO THE POLLS, ABOUT 88 FEET AND INTO THE MAIN HOUSE ON BURNEY ABOUT HALF 54 FEET, THE P&Z DID APPROVE THIS, BUT THEY ASKED THE APPLICANT TO GET WITH THE NEIGHBOR. THERE IS A COPY OF A SITE PLAN WITH THIS OWNER'S SIGNATURE ON THERE, BUT THERE IS NOT ANY INDICATION IF THEY WERE FOR OR AGAINST THE PROPOSAL.

TALKING TO THE APPLICANT, THEY AT LEAST HE INDICATED IN DISCUSSIONS WITH OUR PLANNER THEY WERE IN FAVOR. BUT IT WAS NOT YOUR STANDARD RESPONSE FORM.

SO WE DIDN'T INDICATE PRO OR AGAINST, BUT THEY DID SIGN IT AND ARE AWARE OF THE PROPOSAL.

AGAIN, AS OF TODAY, THIS IS THE RESPONSES IN FAVOR AROUND THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.

AGAIN, P&Z RECOMMENDED SEVEN ZERO APPROVAL AND NOTING THAT THE APPLICANTED TALK TO THE ADJACENT HOME HOMEOWNER ADJACENT TO ACCESSORY BUILDING AND INDICATIONS IS THAT HAS BEEN DONE. SO I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU, DIRECTOR BAKER.

ANY QUESTIONS ON ANY OF THESE ITEMS?

[01:30:01]

OK, AND THE ONLY REASON WE'RE SEEING THEM IS THEY'RE LARGER THAN WHAT IS ALLOWED TO BE STAFF FOR STAFF TO APPROVE.

SO WE WENT A FEW MONTHS WITHOUT ANY.

BUT THESE ALL. YEAH, YEAH.

WE JUST SAID, OK, THESE ARE ALL A PUBLIC HEARING.

IS THERE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WHO WANTS TO SPEAK TO ANY OF THIS? IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE COUNCIL HAS ANY QUESTIONS.

SO UNLESS YOU JUST WANT TO GET UP AND TALK, OK, SO SEEING NO ONE, WE'RE GOING TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. WE WANT TO GO AHEAD AND TAKE 6C AND DO A MOTION ON THAT FIRST.

2021. AND NOTING THAT WE'RE APPROVING THE THIRTY FOUR SOLAR ENERGY PANELS AS PRESENTED.

IS THERE A SECOND. SECOND.

PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. OK, CONGRATULATIONS, THAT PASSES SEVEN ZERO.

QUICK QUESTION ON THIS, NOT ON THESE CASES, BUT IN GENERAL, ARE YOU SEEING MOST OF THEM COME THROUGH UNDER 500 AND ARE BEING ADMINISTRATIVELY APPROVED OR NOT? NO, SIR. YOU KNOW, RIGHT NOW, WE SAID THE 500, YOU KNOW, THE THREE WE GOT IT ALL EXCEEDED THAT 500 SQUARE FOOT LIMIT.

WE MAY WANT TO LOOK AT MAYBE INCREASING THAT.

THAT'S KIND OF WHERE OUR SQUARE FOOTAGE WE WE HAVEN'T HAD ANY COME THROUGH THE P&Z AND CITY COUNCIL PROCESS, BUT THERE SEEMS TO BE, AS WE DISCUSSED, MORE AND MORE DEMAND FOR THE SOLAR SYSTEMS. AND, YOU KNOW, IT MAY BE SOMETHING WE LOOK AT AFTER SIX MONTHS.

AND OBVIOUSLY WHEN BECAUSE WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE THE WHAT YOU SHOWED WITH ALL THE ONES THAT BEEN APPROVED, JUST EYEBALLING IT REAL QUICK, THERE WEREN'T MANY THAT WERE BELOW 500. SO PERHAPS IT'S SOMETHING TO CONSIDER.

THE OTHER QUESTION I HAD IS WHEN ONE WOULD COME THROUGH AT 500 OR BELOW AND THERE WAS LET'S SAY THERE WAS THREE OR FOUR NEIGHBORS OPPOSED, WOULD THAT STILL BE ADMINISTRATIVELY APPROVED OR WOULD YOU BRING IT TO COUNCIL BASED ON ALL THAT OPPOSITION? NO, SIR. THE WAY THE ORDINANCE IS, THE NEIGHBORS WOULDN'T BE NOTIFIED, IT WOULD BE ADMINISTRATIVELY, WE WOULD ONLY BRING IT IF IT'S BELOW 500 HUNDRED FEET, WE'D ONLY BRING IT FORWARD IF IT WAS VISIBLE FROM THE RIGHT AWAY, ESSENTIALLY, OK, OR DIDN'T MEET THE CRITERIA. SOME OF THE CRITERIA IN THE THE ORDINANCE OTHER THAN THAT WOULD BE ANALOGOUS TO A FENCE PERMIT ALMOST WHERE WE'D JUST APPROVED IT.

AND THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WE INITIALLY TRIED TO KEEP IT SOMEWHAT MINIMAL.

RIGHT.

AND I THINK, AS WE WILL JUST WATCH IT AND WE'LL REPORT BACK TO YOU.

AND THEN IF WE NEED TO POINT OF THE FUTURE, COUNCIL CAN MAKE A DECISION TO MODIFY BASED ON THE REQUEST. OK, THANK YOU.

WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

OK, NEXT ON THE AGENDA, WE HAVE ITEM NUMBER 6D.

[6.D. Resolution No. 21-012, (ZA21-0013), Specific Use Permit for a Commercial School on property described as Lot 9, Block B, Commerce Business Park, City of Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas and located at 2820 Market Loop, Southlake, Texas.

MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL, THE APPLICANT AND OWNER, REQUESTING APPROVAL OF A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT TO ALLOW A COMMERCIAL SCHOOL, INCLUDING THE TRADE SCHOOL FOR THE THE APPLICANT INDICATING ON THE SLIDE.

THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED 2820 MARKET LOOP SUITE 100.

COUNCIL MAY RECALL A FEW YEARS BACK, WE REQUIRED ANY OF THESE COMMERCIAL SCHOOLS OR TRADE SCHOOLS THAT WERE LOCATED IN THE INDUSTRIAL ZONE AREA TO COME THROUGH WITH AN SUP SO YOU CAN EVALUATE THEM ON INDIVIDUAL CASE BY CASE BASIS.

[01:35:01]

THIS IS A LOCATION OF PROPERTY ON MARKET LOOP.

IT DOES HAVE THE INDUSTRIAL LAND USE CATEGORY AND THE I-1 ZONING.

THIS IS PROPERTIES HIGHLIGHTED BY THIS BUILDING CLOSER TO THE MARKET LOOP SIDE.

THIS SPACE IS BEING USED.

THERE WAS A FORMER COMMERCIAL KARATE SCHOOL IN THIS LOCATION AND THIS USES SOMEWHAT SIMILAR TO A PREVIOUS USE THAT WAS IN THIS AT THIS LOCATION.

SO THIS IS AN OBLIQUE ANGLE VIEW, LOOKING BACK TO THE NORTH, SHOWING THE APPROXIMATE LOCATION OF THE TENNIS SPACE.

THIS IS WHERE THE SCHOOL WILL BE LOCATED.

IT DOES MEET ALL PARKING REQUIREMENTS.

THERE ARE THIRTY EIGHT PARKING SPACES IN THE.

BUILDING IN THE BUILDING AREA.

THIS IS A CLASS SCHEDULE THAT WAS PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT AND THE APPLICANT INDICATE NO MORE THAN EIGHT KIDS PER CLASS EXCEPT ON SATURDAY, AND CLASSES MAY HAVE UP TO 15 STUDENTS. THIS IS A PARKING TABLE WHERE WE'VE TAKEN THE USES AND APPLIED THE ZONING REQUIREMENTS.

RIGHT NOW, 24 SPACES ARE REQUIRED TO PARK THE USES IN THE TWO BUILDING 38 PARKING SPACES ON SITE. THIS JUST SHOWS GENERAL TRAFFIC PLAN.

AND THE LIGHTING ON THE SITE.

JUST A COUPLE OF PHOTOS OF THE BUILDING AND THE APPROXIMATE LOCATION OF THE LEASED SPACE TO BE OCCUPIED BY THE TENANT.

WE DID RECEIVE ONE RESPONSE IN OPPOSITION TO THE PROPERTY ADJACENT WITHIN THE 200 FOOT AREA.

THE CONCERNS ARTICULATED WERE PRIMARILY RELATED TO PARENTS PARKING, WAITING FOR THE CLASS TO END AND CHILDREN AND SIBLINGS PRIMARILY PLAYING IN THE PARKING LOT, AND THERE WAS SOME CONCERN RAISED AND THAT RESPONSE IS IN YOUR YOUR POCKET.

THE P&Z DID HAVE A DISCUSSION AND ASKED THE APPLICANT TO PROVIDE A AN AGREEMENT OR AN EXAMPLE OF THE CONTRACT THAT WE PROVIDED THE PARENTS TO TRY TO ADDRESS THAT ISSUE.

THE P&Z DID APPROVE THAT.

THEY DID ASK FOR THAT TO BE PROVIDED.

THE APPLICANT DID PROVIDE THIS CODE OF CONDUCT, FOR EXAMPLE, THAT THAT THEY'VE INDICATED THAT WHEN A STUDENT COMES, THAT THEY WILL MAKE THE THE PARENT AWARE THAT IT'S NOT APPROPRIATE FOR KIDS TO BE PLAYING OR RUNNING AROUND IN THE PARKING LOT AND BASED ON P&Z'S REQUEST, THIS HAS BEEN INCLUDED IN YOUR PACKET FOR CONSIDERATION AS PART OF THE SUP.

THE CONCLUDES STAFF'S PRESENTATION, I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

OK. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR ANY ISSUES WITH US SO.

I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT THE KIDS PLAYING IN THE PARKING LOT, BUT I DO THINK I MEAN, WE HAVE THE ISSUE OVER AT IS IT CALLED 280 SPORTS WITH THE DROP OFF AND THE PICK UP? IT'S IT'S PRETTY MESSY OVER THERE, BUT YOU'RE GOING TO A KIDS PLACE.

AND SO, YOU KNOW, TO BE CAREFUL AND THIS IS A REALLY QUIET PART OF THIS STREET.

SO I'M FINE WITH THIS.

THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING.

IS THERE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK ABOUT THIS ITEM? SEEING NO ONE I'LL CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING? DO WE HAVE A MOTION? YES, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM SIX D, RESOLUTION NUMBER TWENTY ONE DASH ZERO ONE TWO CASE NUMBER ZA TWENTY ONE DASH ZERO ZERO ONE THREE.

ZA21-00018, Site Plan for GMI, on property described as Tract 11E, Thomas Easter Survey Abstract No. 474, City of Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas, and located at 2450 Crooked Lane, Southlake, Texas. Current Zoning: "S-P-2" Generalized Site Plan District. SPIN Neighborhood #8. PUBLIC HEARING]

MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL.

[01:40:01]

THE PURPOSE OF THIS REQUEST IS SEEK APPROVAL OF THE PHASE TWO SITE PLAN FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THREE FLEX LIGHT INDUSTRIAL COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS TOTALING APPROXIMATELY FIFTY EIGHT THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED EIGHTY SQUARE FEET LOCATED ON FIVE POINT SEVEN ACRES.

CITY COUNCIL MAY RECALL THE RECENT REZONING OF THIS PROPERTY WHERE YOU APPROVED THE 80000 SQUARE FOOT GMI HEADQUARTERS BUILDING AND THEN HAD [INAUDIBLE] APPROVAL ON THESE SMALLER FLEX BUILDINGS.

THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN IS CONSISTENT WITH ALL YOUR ZONING REQUIREMENTS THAT WERE RECENTLY PASSED. THE FUTURE LAND USE IS SHOWN AS MIXED USE, AND IT DOES HAVE SP2 ZONING IN THE USES WERE OUTLINED IN THE ZONING, BUT THEY WERE INDUSTRIAL, SELECTIVE, INDUSTRIAL AND SOME SELECTIVE COMMERCIAL USES COULD BE LOCATED IN THIS IN THESE BUILDINGS.

THE AREA OF THE SITE THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS SHADED IN YELLOW.

JUST A VIEW LOOKING BACK TO THE NORTH.

AND THIS IS THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION, LOOKING BACK TO THE SOUTH.

THIS IS THE APPROVED CONCEPT PLAN.

IT WAS APPROVED BACK IN 2020.

YOU MAY RECALL THAT THIS IS THE 80000 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING, WHICH IS UNDER ENGINEERING VIEW. AND SO CONSTRUCTION IS ANTICIPATED TO START FAIRLY SOON ON THE LARGER CORPORATE HEADQUARTER BUILDINGS.

AND THAT SITE PLAN WAS APPROVED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ZONING.
