ALL RIGHT, PLEASE HAVE A SEAT.

WELL, ONCE AGAIN, THIS WORK SESSION TONIGHT IS DEDICATED TO THANKING OUR MAYOR PRO TEM, CHAD PATTON, FOR HIS MANY, MANY YEARS OF SERVICE TO THE CITY AND

[3. Recognition for outgoing Mayor Pro Tem Chad Patton]

AND WE'RE VERY THANKFUL TO HAVE ALL OF THEM BACK ON THE DAIS.

AND THAT'S AMY TORRES-LEPP, RONELL SMITH AND SHAWN MCCASKILL.

SO WE'RE GOING TO START WITH WITH MR. PATTON. CHAD, WE WE ALL HAVE A LOT TO TO SAY.

SO EVERYONE'S GOING TO JUST JUST SAY A COUPLE OF WORDS.

I KNOW WE'VE WE'VE GOTTEN I FEEL LIKE WE'VE GOTTEN TO SAY GOODBYE FOR LIKE A MONTH HERE.

A LOT OF PARTIES AND WE'VE HAD A LOT OF FUN AND A MONTH OF GOODBYES IS NOT ENOUGH, MY FRIEND.

BUT I WANT TO START BY GOING ACROSS THE DAIS.

SO, COUNCIL MEMBER WILLIAMSON.

THANK YOU, MAYOR, I APPRECIATE THAT.

AND WOW, WHAT AN HONOR IT IS TO KICK THINGS OFF WITH REGARDS TO CHAD.

I THINK WE'LL TURN IT INTO A ROAST IF EVERYBODY'S OKAY WITH THAT.

SO NO, NO, THAT WOULDN'T BE APPROPRIATE WITH CHAD.

YOU KNOW, WHEN I THINK OF CHAD IN HIS SERVICE, I MEAN, SIX YEARS TO THE CITY, IN MANY ROLES BEFORE THAT AND OTHER BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS.

AND WHAT DO I THINK OF I THINK OF EXCELLENCE.

I MEAN, WHAT YOU'VE DONE IN EVERY POSITION YOU'VE HELD FOR THIS CITY FOR THE BETTER PART OF A DECADE IS ABSOLUTE EXCELLENCE.

YOUR PROFESSIONALISM, THE WAY THAT YOU APPROACH YOUR PREPARATION FOR WHAT WE DO HERE, YOU TAKE IT SERIOUSLY AND BUT YOU DO ALL THAT IN A WAY THAT'S FUN.

YOU'RE SUCH A PLEASURE TO WORK WITH.

AND YOU BRING SUCH A STEADY PRESENCE, SUCH A BALANCE TO THE COUNCIL OVER THIS LAST SIX YEARS ON DIFFICULT ISSUES.

YOU KNOW, WE COULD ALWAYS COUNT ON YOU TO TO SAY, HEY, LOOK, THERE'S ALL THIS OVER HERE AND THERE'S ALL THIS OVER HERE, BUT HERE'S HOW I SEE IT.

[00:05:02]

AND THAT'S THAT'S ONE OF THE TOUGHEST THINGS TO DO IN AN ELECTED POSITION.

AND YOU DO IT REALLY WELL WITHOUT EVER SACRIFICING YOUR VALUES.

AND SO, LOOK, I WISH YOU AND TRACY AND THE KIDS WONDERFUL REST AND ENJOYMENT WITH I THINK I MENTIONED THIS BEFORE BUT WITH WITH THE COLLEGE SPORTS AND WITH YOUR SON WITH DRAGON YOUTH SPORTS.

I MEAN, YOU'RE YOU'RE IN THE BEST TIME OF YOUR LIFE WITH THAT.

AND NOW YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A LOT MORE TUESDAYS FREE TO ENJOY THAT AND TIME TO TRAVEL.

SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR FRIENDSHIP ABOVE EVERYTHING.

AND I KNOW WE'LL STAY IN REAL CLOSE CONTACT.

THANK YOU, CHAD. THANK YOU, RANDY.

[INAUDIBLE] COUNCIL WOMAN TORRES-LEPP.

WELL, CHAD, I'VE TOLD YOU THIS BEFORE PRIVATELY, BUT YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY ONE OF MY FAVORITE COUNCIL MEMBERS AND ONE OF MY FAVORITE PEOPLE.

SORRY, EVERYBODY ELSE I LOVE YOU ALL TOO.

BUT I HAVE SO ENJOYED THIS LAST YEAR WITH YOU AND I REALLY LOOK UP TO YOU AS AS A MENTOR, TRULY.

COUNCIL MEMBER WILLIAMSON SAID IT PERFECTLY.

YOU ARE THE MOST FAIR, PREPARED, LOGICAL YOU REALLY THINK THINGS THROUGH.

YOU REALLY PRESENT ALL SIDES.

AND I'VE JUST LOVED THIS LAST YEAR HAVING BEING ABLE TO WORK WITH YOU AND SEE YOU KIND OF IN THIS HERE IN THE SCENES AND AND DOING WHAT YOU DO BEST.

IT'S YOUR SERVICE TO THE CITY IS SUPER ADMIRABLE AND YOU'VE GIVEN, YOU KNOW, BASICALLY YOUR ENTIRE SON'S ENTIRE LIFE ALMOST HE'S ONLY EVER KNOWN YOU AS A MEMBER OF COUNCIL.

SO IT'LL BE NICE TO BE ABLE TO SPEND TIME WITH TRACY AND THE KIDS.

AND AND I ALREADY ASKED YOU WHAT YOU WERE DOING ON TUESDAY EVENINGS.

YOU KNOW, I THOUGHT HE'D SAY, YOU KNOW, GOING TO MAKE A SCENE AND HAVING A MAMBO, TAXI OR SOMETHING.

BUT HE SAID, NO, I'VE ALREADY BOOKED MY TUESDAY EVENINGS.

I'M GOING TO PLAY TENNIS.

AND SO I JUST I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU FOR ALL THE SERVICE THAT YOU'VE GIVEN AND AND HOW SERIOUSLY YOU TOOK IT AND BUT AT THE SAME TIME, YOU DIDN'T LET IT DEFINE YOU.

AND THAT'S A GOOD THING FOR ME, BECAUSE YOU HAD THIS WHOLE BALANCED CENTER OF LIFE WITH YOUR FAMILY.

AND AND IT'S REALLY JUST TRULY REMARKABLE.

SO YOU'RE GOING TO BE DEARLY MISSED.

AND I WOULD LOVE IF YOU WOULD TAKE A YEAR OFF AND COME BACK, BUT I DON'T THINK THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.

SO BUT, YOU KNOW, JUST ALL THE BEST TO YOU AND TRACY AND STAY IN TOUCH.

WOW. THAT'S REALLY SWEET. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

WELL SAID, COUNCIL MEMBER SMITH.

I THINK I'LL PASS [LAUGHTER] NO GOOD GRIEF. NO, CHAD KNOWS HOW MUCH I LOVE HIM.

SO MUCH SO THAT WHENEVER HIS NAME COMES UP IN OUR HOUSE ME AND RACHEL ALWAYS JUST SAY, MAN, HE'S SUCH A GOOD GUY AND HE IS.

BUT I START OUT BY SAYING, WHEN I FIRST MET CHAD, IT WAS AT THE [INAUDIBLE] AND WE WERE STANDING AT THE BAR AT WHAT WAS THEN GINGER MAN, AND HE SAID HE WAS ON COUNCIL.

AND I SAID, NO YOU'RE NOT.

AND HE SAID, NO SERIOUSLY AND HE PULLS OUT A PICTURE AND HE HAD SHAVED.

SO I DIDN'T RECOGNIZE HIM WITHOUT HIS.

I MEAN, I WAS LIKE, BUT I REMEMBER US MEETING AFTER THAT.

I REMEMBER STAYING UP TO TWO IN THE MORNING AT COPELAND'S AFTER THE SQUARE EVENT, AND HE WAS GRILLING ME ABOUT WANTING TO BE ON COUNCIL AND THE RESPONSIBILITY YOU HAVE AND THE ENJOYMENT THAT REPRESENTING THIS GREAT CITY.

MY FONDEST MEMORIES OF CHAD, THOUGH MOST OF THE ALMOST ENTIRELY THE TIMES WE'VE TALKED, IT'S BEEN ABOUT FAMILY AND IT'S BEEN ABOUT FAITH.

CHAD GAVE ME A QUOTE IN 2019.

I LOOKED THIS PICTURE UP IN AUGUST 2019, OUR FIRST CARROLL DRAGON GAME [INAUDIBLE] PENNINGTON HAD AN EVENT IN DRAGON STADIUM AND HE GAVE ME A LINE.

I'M SAVING IT FOR MY BOOK, BUT HE GAVE ME A LINE THAT THAT'S REALLY PROVIDED A LEVEL OF CALM RESOLVE FOR ME AS A COUNCILMAN.

AND I'M JUST, YOU KNOW, JUST SO INDEBTED FOR YOU FOR THE ADVICE YOU'VE GIVEN CONTINUALLY.

YOU ARE. YOU'RE MORE THAN JUST A GOOD PERSON, A GREAT COUNCILMAN.

YOU'RE A GREAT FAMILY MAN. I MEAN, THAT'S ALL WE TALK ABOUT IS YOUR KIDS, YOUR FAMILY, YOUR FAITH.

AND I'M SO HAPPY YOU TIMED IT SO PERFECTLY, RIGHT? SO IF THINGS WORK OUT PERFECTLY, THE OUTCOME OF COUNCIL WHEN MY YOUNGEST GRADUATES AND YOU GET TO SPEND SO MUCH MORE TIME WITH GRANT AT THIS GREAT TIME, AND I KNOW HE'S NOT BEEN DEPRIVED AT ALL BECAUSE I KNOW I KNOW THE HOURS YOU PUT IN TO YOUR BEAUTIFUL FAMILY.

SO I'M JUST JEALOUS.

BUT I'M ALSO PROUD TO KNOW YOU.

YOU'RE A FANTASTIC GUY AND YOU'RE THE EMBODIMENT OF CITY LEADERSHIP IN SOUTHLAKE SO THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, RONELL. I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT I SAID, BUT FAIR ENOUGH.

[LAUGHTER] THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

COUNCIL MEMBER ROBBINS.

THAT'S A PRETTY GOOD TEASER THERE RIGHT NOW.

I GUESS WE'LL HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE BOOK.

CHAD, IT'S BEEN GREAT SITTING HERE NEXT TO YOU.

WE'VE HAD SOME GREAT TIMES AND GREAT CONVERSATIONS.

WHILE OTHER CRAZY THINGS WERE GOING ON.

I WOULD SAY THE ONE THING THAT I WOULD DESCRIBE YOU AS JUST PASSIONATE.

YOU'RE PASSIONATE ABOUT THE CITY, YOU'RE PASSIONATE ABOUT YOUR FAMILY, YOU'RE PASSIONATE ABOUT LIFE.

[00:10:02]

IT'S BEEN GREAT GETTING TO KNOW YOU HERE, OUT THERE.

I MEAN, IT'S BEEN GREAT.

WE'RE KIND OF POLITICAL BROTHERS, YOU KNOW, WE SHARE THE SAME POLITICAL MOM [INAUDIBLE] YOU KNOW, WE BOTH DO WHAT SHE TELLS US TO DO HALF THE TIME, AT LEAST.

AND TRACY, THANK YOU FOR SHARING, CHAD, WITH THIS WITH THIS GREAT CITY, BECAUSE I KNOW FROM MY WIFE AND WHAT A SACRIFICE IT IS AND WHAT IT MEANS.

BUT YOU'VE BEEN A GREAT LEADER.

YOU'VE BEEN A GREAT FRIEND.

NONE OF THAT STOPS.

BUT I JUST IT'S BEEN AN HONOR TO SERVE WITH YOU AND LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING TO TO JUST BUILD THAT RELATIONSHIP.

AND THANKS FOR ALL YOUR SERVICE.

THANK YOU, SIR. I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IT'S BEEN A PLEASURE GETTING TO KNOW YOU, WELL SAID.

COUNCIL MEMBER TALLEY. THIS IS SO HARD.

I CAN'T IMAGINE HOW HARD IT IS FOR YOU.

MY FIRST MEMORIES ARE WHEN I WAS RUNNING AND JUST HOW IMMEDIATELY KIND AND HELPFUL AND THOUGHTFUL YOU WERE FOR ME.

AND AS SOMEONE WHO HAD NOT EVER SAT UP HERE BEFORE WHEN I WAS FIRST SWORN IN AND FIRST BEGAN, HOW WILLING YOU WERE TO LISTEN AND TO HELP, AND AS AMY SAID, BE A MENTOR.

I JUST HAVE SO ENJOYED WATCHING YOU DO YOUR WORK UP HERE ON THE DAIS AND HOW YOU TREAT EVERYONE WITH SUCH AN INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF RESPECT, CARE, CONSIDERATION.

YOU REALLY YOUR THOUGHTFULNESS IS INCREDIBLE AND IT'S WONDERFUL AND I'M GOING TO MISS SEEING THAT.

CERTAINLY GOING TO REMEMBER IT.

IT'S ONE OF MY GREATEST TAKEAWAYS WITH YOU IS JUST AND IT JUST SPEAKS TO WHO YOU ARE AS A HUMAN BEING, AS A PERSON AND AND OF COURSE, YOUR GODLINESS AND AND TRACY AND MIKE AND I HAVE JUST ENJOYED GETTING TO KNOW YOU GUYS A LITTLE BETTER.

YOU HAVE AN INCREDIBLE FAMILY.

ALL OF THE THINGS EVERYBODY SAID I ECHO TO THE MILLIONTH DEGREE.

IT'S IT'S BEEN A PLEASURE HAVING YOU UP HERE AND I'M GOING TO MISS YOU.

I REALLY AM. YEAH.

THANK YOU, KATHY. I'M GOING TO MISS BEING UP HERE.

YEAH, WELL SAID. LORD CHAD, I GUESS LET ME START BY SAYING THAT WE DID INVESTIGATE WHETHER WE COULD DO A CHARTER AMENDMENT TO CREATE AN EIGHTH SEAT ON COUNCIL FOR YOU TONIGHT. IT TURNS OUT WE CAN'T.

BUT YOU KNOW HOW MUCH WE'RE GOING TO MISS YOU.

YOU'VE BEEN SUCH A SUCH AN AWESOME MEMBER OF THIS TEAM FOR SIX YEARS.

IT'S TRITE, BUT, YOU KNOW, I REMEMBER LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY WHEN WE WERE SITTING DOWN AT CAFÉ EXPRESS AND I DIDN'T KNOW YOU AT THAT POINT, BUT I COULD TELL.

I COULD TELL YOU WERE YOU'RE THOUGHTFUL AND YOU'RE KNOWLEDGEABLE AND THAT YOU'RE REALLY, REALLY PASSIONATE ABOUT SOUTHLAKE AND THAT YOU REALLY, REALLY WANTED TO SERVE.

AND THEN AND THEN EVERY DAY SINCE THAT MAN, WE'VE LOOKED UP TO YOU.

I'VE LOOKED UP TO YOU. YOU'VE BEEN A GREAT JUST A GREAT COUNCIL PERSON TO THE CITIZENS.

YOU'VE ALWAYS MADE THOUGHTFUL DECISIONS AND DONE YOUR VERY BEST, ESPECIALLY WITH THEIR TAX DOLLARS, WHICH I THINK IS SOME OF THE HIGHEST RATES YOU CAN GIVE TO AN ELECTED OFFICIAL.

YOU KNOW, TO YOUR COLLEAGUES ON COUNCIL.

YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN A MENTOR AND A FRIEND AND BEEN ENCOURAGING AND SUPPORTIVE AND KICKED US IN THE PANTS WHEN WE NEEDED IT OCCASIONALLY, WHICH IS GOOD.

AND JUST AS A FRIEND, YOU'VE JUST BEEN VERY STEADFAST AND VERY ENCOURAGING AND A LOT OF WAYS OF MENTOR TO ME, NOT ONLY WHILE I WAS ON COUNCIL, BUT AS I TRANSITIONED INTO THIS NEW ROLE. AND I APPRECIATE YOU TAKING ON THE MAYOR PRO TEM JOB.

IT'S A BIG JOB.

YOU GO FROM, YOU KNOW, BEING ABLE TO BE PASSIVE TO HAVING TO MAKE ALL THESE MOTIONS AND YOU'VE BEEN ENGAGED EVERY NIGHT AND JUST BEEN INCREDIBLE.

YOU'VE DONE THAT JOB SO WELL.

I REALLY, REALLY APPRECIATE ALL YOUR TIME.

AND WE'RE GOING TO IT'S NOT GOODBYE.

IT'S JUST WE'LL SEE YOU AROUND TOWN IN DIFFERENT WAYS.

AND LET ME SAY TO TRACY AND TO SOPHIE AND TO GRANT THANK YOU FOR THE SACRIFICES THAT YOU THREE HAVE MADE.

WE ALL UP HERE KNOW AND ALL OF OUR FAMILIES KNOW HOW MANY HOURS, HOW MANY DINNERS THAT THAT CHAD HAS BEEN UP HERE WITH US AND HOW MANY EVENTS HE'S DRUG Y'ALL ALONG TO.

AND WE KNOW IT'S INCREDIBLY HARD TO DONATE YOUR HUSBAND LIKE THIS AND YOUR FATHER.

AND WE THANK YOU GUYS FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS, BECAUSE THE SACRIFICES THAT YOU MADE WERE FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY.

AND HE CAN'T DO WHAT HE DOES UP HERE WITHOUT YOU GUYS BEING IN HIS CORNER.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. SO, MY FRIEND, WHILE THIS IS AGAIN GOOD BYE, JUST IN THIS CONTEXT, WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU AROUND.

I CAN ALREADY THINK OF QUITE A FEW BOARDS AROUND THE CITY THAT COULD USE YOUR WISDOM, SO WE'LL LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU IN THOSE CONTEXTS.

THANK YOU MAYOR IT'S BEEN A REAL PLEASURE, THAT'S FOR SURE.

AND I CERTAINLY HAVE BEEN HONORED TO BE YOUR MAYOR PRO TEM.

THANK YOU. ABSOLUTELY.

LET ME TURN OVER TO CITY MANAGER SHANA YELVERTON FOR SOME WORDS AND SOME GIFTS.

SO ONE OF THE GREAT THINGS ABOUT BEING ON STAFF IS YOU GET TO SORT OF SIT ON THE SIDELINES AND WATCH.

RIGHT. AND YOU GET TO SEE THE ABSOLUTE DEDICATION THAT PEOPLE BRING TO THE JOB.

[INAUDIBLE] IS STARTING A SLIDE SHOW TO CELEBRATE YOUR SERVICE, AND PEOPLE HAVE MENTIONED THAT YOU'VE SERVED FOR AT LEAST A DECADE AND WE'VE GOTTEN A CHANCE TO KNOW YOU THROUGH ALL THOSE TIMES. YOU KNOW, THE TIME ON THE PARK BOARD AND ALL THE OTHER THINGS THAT YOU'VE DONE FOR THE CITY.

WHEN PEOPLE SIGN UP TO BE ON THE CITY COUNCIL, THEY BECOME SUPER VOLUNTEERS.

[00:15:04]

IT HAS BEEN PARTICULARLY FUN TO BE PARTNERS WITH YOU, CHAD, BECAUSE NOT ONLY DO WE GET WISE COUNSEL AND ALL THE ALL THE GOOD STUFF, BUT YOU'RE JUST A LOT OF FUN AND BRING SO MUCH ENERGY TO THE JOB.

AND I'LL ALWAYS BE GRATEFUL THAT I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO BOUNCE IDEAS OFF YOU.

AND THEN I JUST HAVE TO SAY, WHEN CHAD WANTS TO GET YOUR ATTENTION, SOMETIMES HE'LL JUST ASK YOU A VERY GOOD QUESTION.

DON'T THINK I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT YOU WERE DOING RIGHT, BUT YOU JUST BEEN OUTSTANDING.

IF WE WENT AROUND TO ALL THE EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP TEAM MEMBERS, I KNOW THAT THEY WOULD ALL HAVE GREAT STORIES ABOUT SERVING WITH YOU.

IT'S BEEN A REAL HONOR.

SO WE APPRECIATE YOU AND I HOPE YOU WON'T BE A STRANGER.

I REALLY DO HOPE YOU'LL COME BACK AND SERVE ON A BOARD OR VOLUNTEER IN SOME WAY, BECAUSE THIS COMMUNITY HAS BENEFITED FROM THE WORK THAT YOU'VE DONE AND YOU'VE HELPED US IN SO MANY WAYS.

WE'RE JUST FOREVER GRATEFUL.

SO THANKS FOR EVERYTHING.

THANK YOU, SHANA I MAN, I APPRECIATE ALL THESE KIND WORDS.

I HAVE A FEW THINGS I WANT TO SAY, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF NOW'S THE RIGHT TIME OR..

YOU HAVE THE FLOOR, SIR. OKAY, WELL, I WANT TO OFFER IT UP TO ANYONE ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SAY NICE THINGS ABOUT ME.

[LAUGHTER] THE MICROPHONE IS YOURS.

YOU STEP UP TO THE PODIUM. WHERE'S THE THREE MINUTE TIME? NO, I HAVE TO TELL YOU, IT HAS BEEN SUCH AN HONOR AND A PLEASURE TO SERVE AS A CITY COUNCIL MEMBER AND TO LEARN FROM ALL OF MY FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES HERE AND FROM ALL OF YOUR EXECUTIVE TEAM.

AND I HAVE A FEW WORDS.

SO, YOU KNOW, AS TRACY, AS TRACY KNOWS, I'VE BEEN THINKING A LOT ABOUT LIKE WHAT TO SAY.

YOU KNOW, I THINK ABRAHAM LINCOLN AND HIS GETTYSBURG ADDRESS SPOKE FOR 12 MINUTES AND IT'S PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST IMPACTFUL 12 MINUTES THAT THAT YOU COULD EVER DELIVER.

SO I PROMISE NOT TO GO 12 MINUTES.

BUT THERE ARE A FEW THINGS I WANT TO SAY.

AND I WILL I WILL DO MY BEST TO BE BRIEF.

BUT AS I REFLECT BACK, I DO REMEMBER MY VERY FIRST DAY ON COUNCIL.

I REMEMBER BEING SWORN IN AND ACCORDING TO OUR SHARED HAIRSTYLIST, I HAD A LITTLE BIT MORE HAIR BACK THEN AND I HAD A FEW LESS WRINKLES THAN I HAVE NOW.

BUT I HAVE TO SAY THAT I REMEMBER FEELING VERY HUMBLED AND HONORED AND FOCUSED, AND I HAD THE PLEASURE OF TAKING THE SEAT OF A GENTLEMAN BY THE NAME OF BRANDON BLEDSOE. AND MAN, WHAT A GREAT LEADER HE WAS.

AND I REMEMBER THINKING TO MYSELF, THERE IS NO WAY I CAN FILL THAT MAN'S SHOES.

I MEAN, HE HE BROUGHT SO MUCH TO OUR CITY, SO MUCH WISDOM AND THE WAY THAT HE SERVED AND THE EXPERIENCE THAT HE WAS ABLE TO BRING.

AND I JUST THOUGHT TO MYSELF, THERE'S JUST THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NO WAY THAT THAT I COULD I COULD EVER FILL HIS SHOES.

I FELT HONORED TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE OUR COMMUNITY IN SUCH A NOBLE A NOBLE MANNER.

I JUST REMEMBER THINKING TO MYSELF BACK THEN THAT I JUST HAVE TO BE ME THE BEST PART OF ME.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS YET, AND I THINK ALL OF US KNOW THAT AS NEW COUNCIL MEMBERS, WE DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE.

BUT I REMEMBER JUST THINKING, JUST DO THE BEST I CAN BE ALL IN.

AND I ALSO FELT VERY FOCUSED.

I MADE A COMMITMENT TO MYSELF AND OUR CITIZENS ON THAT VERY FIRST DAY THAT I WOULD I WOULD SIT IN THIS COUNCIL CHAIR WITH AN UNWAVERING APPRECIATION FOR THOSE THAT SERVED BEFORE ME. AND I THINK ALL OF YOU HAVE HEARD ME SAY THAT MANY TIMES BEFORE.

I HAVE SO MUCH RESPECT FOR THIS CHAIR.

AND IT WAS MY MY GOAL AND MY MY INTENT TO HONOR ALL THOSE THAT HAD SERVED BEFORE US.

AND IT WAS ALSO A COMMITMENT TO ME THAT I REMAINED FOCUSED ON THE WHAT AND THE WHY ON THE DECISIONS THAT WERE MADE FOR ALL THOSE COUNCIL MEMBERS IS THAT BEFORE US THERE WERE A LOT OF WATTS AND THERE WERE CERTAINLY A LOT OF WHYS.

AND I WANTED TO REMEMBER AND AND USE THAT AS A REFERENCE.

THOSE WHYS ARE SO IMPORTANT AND THEY REALLY SHAPED THE FABRIC OF OUR COMMUNITY THAT I KNEW WHEN I WAS COMING IN AS A COUNCIL MEMBER, NOT ONLY FROM A DEVELOPMENT PERSPECTIVE, BUT JUST OUR CULTURE.

I THINK THE CULTURE STARTS HERE AND WHAT WE DO HERE AND WHAT OUR VISION IS HERE.

AND SO THAT WHY WAS REALLY IMPORTANT TO ME.

AND I WANTED TO USE THAT WHY TO HAVE THE APPROPRIATE PERSPECTIVE.

ON THE DECISIONS THAT WE WERE MAKING AT PRESENT TIME, BECAUSE I FELT THAT THOSE DECISIONS WERE IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THE WHY, BUT TO TO HAVE AN IMPACT ON WHAT WE ARE DOING TODAY AND THE IMPACT WOULD HAVE ON OUR COMMUNITY IN THE FUTURE.

I BELIEVE AS I WAS ABLE TO DO THIS OVER THE LAST SIX YEARS, I CANDIDLY CAN'T RECALL A TIME THAT I DIDN'T KEEP THAT AS MY PRIMARY FOCUS.

AND I'M I'M THANKFUL FOR THAT.

SOME OF THE MOST REWARDING PARTS OF BEING A COUNCIL MEMBER ARE SOME OF THESE PICTURES THAT YOU SEE HERE.

SOME OF THEM ARE DEDICATIONS, RIBBON CUTTINGS, A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT THINGS.

SO IF YOU WOULD INDULGE ME, THERE'S A FEW A FEW FEW THINGS THAT THAT HAVE HAPPENED TO ME THAT I HAD THE PLEASURE OF EITHER MAKING A VOTE ON OR HAVING A VOICE AS A DECISION MAKER

[00:20:01]

AND SOME OF YOU WILL CERTAINLY KNOW THESE AND MANY OF THESE YOU GET TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF, FOR EXAMPLE, NORTH PARK, NORTH PARK, WE DEDICATED NORTH PARK WHEN I CAME ON CITY COUNCIL, BUT BEFORE THAT I WAS ON THE PARK'S BOARD.

SO I GOT TO PARTICIPATE IN WHAT WHAT WE KNOW IS NORTH PARK.

TODAY WAS AN AWESOME DAY.

I REMEMBER. AND I THOUGHT, HOW COOL IS THIS CITY TO BE TO BE ABLE TO DELIVER SUCH AN AWESOME PARK? THAT DAY WE ALSO CELEBRATED DPS, SO DPS NORTH IS RIGHT UP THERE AND I REMEMBER THE CONTROVERSY BACK THEN WAS BEING ABLE TO PUT THE FIRING RANGE UNDERGROUND LIKE, OH MY GOSH, WE'RE GOING TO SHOOT GUNS RIGHT HERE IN NORTH SOUTHLAKE.

AND WHAT DOES THAT THAT'S GOT TO BE ALL SORTS OF HUGE SAFETY ISSUES.

RIGHT. I WOULD IMAGINE MOST RESIDENTS DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT THERE'S A GUN RANGE IN THERE.

AND SORRY IF I CREATED MORE ISSUES FOR COUNCIL GOING FORWARD, BUT I'LL MOVE.

I'LL MOVE ON.

BICENTENNIAL PARK, PHASE TWO.

I MEAN, WHAT WE KNOW IS BICENTENNIAL PARK TODAY WITH THE 6090 FIELD AND ALL THE OTHER BASEBALL FIELDS IS PART OF PHASE TWO.

AND I WAS THERE TO BE ABLE TO CELEBRATE THAT AND HAVE A SMALL ROLE IN THAT.

THE MARQ I MEAN, MY GOSH, THE MARQ WAS CALLED THE MARQ WITH A Q, I MEAN, WE WE DID SOME CRAZY THINGS AS WE'RE THINKING ABOUT NAMING IT THE MARQ, RIGHT.

ARIA AMPHITHEATER, CHAMPIONS CLUB, ALL THAT CAME ON BOARD REALLY QUICK BACK TO BACK TO BACK.

BUT I WAS I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THAT.

I WAS ABLE TO HELP BE A PART OF THE REDEDICATION OF FRANK CORNISH PARK, THE TENNIS CENTER.

WE RENOVATED THE TENNIS CENTER WHILE I SERVED ON CITY COUNCIL.

WE ALSO ADDED THE INDOOR FACILITY.

I'M GOING TO HARK BACK A LITTLE BIT FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT MIGHT KNOW, WE HAVE 50 BULLS, LONG HAIRED BULLS AROUND LONG HORNED BULLS AROUND SOUTHLAKE.

MOST OF THEM WE DON'T SEE AS MUCH.

BUT THAT'S CELEBRATED SOUTHLAKE'S 50TH ANNIVERSARY AND WE CHANGED OUR LOGO TO THAT SE THAT YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN NOW, THAT WAS A BIG DEAL BACK THEN AND THAT WAS PRETTY COOL THAT I GOT TO BE A PART OF THAT TO SOME DEGREE.

MIRACLE FIELD, THE MIRACLE LEAGUE AS WE KNOW IT TODAY.

AND THE MIRACLE FIELD WAS BUILT AND IT WAS JUST A CONCEPT WHEN I WAS ON PARK'S BOARD.

SO I'M THANKFUL FOR MIRACLE LEAGUE, BOB JONES NATURE CENTER.

THAT EVOLVED TREMENDOUSLY.

IT WAS STILL JUST KIND OF A VISION.

AND I REMEMBER THE VERY FIRST FUNDRAISING EVENT FOR THAT.

LIBERTY PARK AT SHELTON WOOD.

I DON'T KNOW IF MANY OF YOU KNOW THIS LITTLE PARK, BUT IT'S A COOL LITTLE PLACE.

AND WE DID A LITTLE BIT OF WORK AND I WAS LIKE, WOW, I DIDN'T KNOW THIS WAS HERE.

PRETTY COOL, RIGHT? A FAMILY DEDICATED AND GAVE US THAT LAND.

AND NOW IT'S A PARK IN OUR COMMUNITY WHICH IS VERY SPECIAL.

WE REMODELED OUR SOFTBALL FIELDS AT BOB JONES.

I GOT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE VISION FOR OUR FUTURE PUBLIC SOUTHLAKE SPORTS COMPLEX, WHICH I BELIEVE MIGHT BE OUR VERY FINEST PARK.

WHEN IT'S ALL SAID AND DONE, I'VE HAD THE PLEASURE OF BEING ABLE TO NOODLE THROUGH WHAT THAT VISION MIGHT LOOK LIKE IN THE FUTURE.

OUR NINE COURT PICKLEBALL COURT THAT PICKLEBALL COURTS WILL BE COMING ON SOON.

THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF WORK BEHIND THE SCENES AND THERE'S MORE TO COME HERE, BUT I'M EXCITED THAT I GOT TO PLAY A ROLE IN THAT AS WELL.

AND I CERTAINLY HAVE THE HOPE THAT A SANCTUARY CAN BE BUILT IN BOB JONES AND BOB JONES NATURE CENTER.

AND WE'RE WORKING ON THAT BEHIND THE SCENES, AND I HOPE THAT WE CAN DELIVER THAT IN THE FUTURE.

AND LAST BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST, IS THE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR FUTURE LIBRARY.

THOSE ARE JUST SOME OF THE POSITIVE IMPACTS THAT I'VE HAD THE PLEASURE OF BEING ABLE TO PARTICIPATE WITH MY COUNCIL MEMBERS HERE AND COUNCIL MEMBERS BEFORE AND THE ESTEEM STAFF THAT WE HAVE IN FRONT OF US THIS EVENING.

AND I'M THANKFUL THAT I'VE HAD THE PLEASURE OF DOING THAT.

THERE ARE A FEW PEOPLE THAT I WOULD LIKE TO THANK I'M ALMOST DONE.

I SWEAR WE'RE UNDER 12 MINUTES.

OBVIOUSLY, MY MY BEAUTIFUL WIFE, TRACY, 27 YEARS.

SHE'S THE ULTIMATE VOLUNTEER.

[INAUDIBLE] I'M GETTING EMOTIONAL [LAUGHTER] BEEN MARRIED TO YOU FOR 27 YEARS.

HONEY, I DON'T CRY AT HOME WITH YOU.

BUT YEAH, SHE HAS A HUGE HEART.

AND THAT'S WHY I'M EMOTIONAL.

BECAUSE SHE'S THE REASON WHY I VOLUNTEER.

SHE. SHE'S THE BEST THING IN OUR FAMILY, AND I'M JUST THANKFUL FOR HER.

MY KIDS, SOPHIE AND GRANT MAN I TELL YOU.

THEY'VE GROWN UP WATCHING TRACY.

AND WE SERVE.

AND IT'S OUR HOPE AND PRAYER THAT THIS VOLUNTEER SPIRIT THAT WE HAVE FALLS INTO THEM AND THEY GROW UP TO GIVE TO THEIR COMMUNITIES, AS WE'VE TRIED TO DO IN OURS.

OBVIOUSLY, THE CITIZENS OF SOUTHLAKE FOR BELIEVING IN ME AND TRUSTING THAT I HAD THE BEST INTEREST OF ALL OF THE CITIZENS, NOT JUST THE ONES THAT VOTED FOR ME, BUT ALL THE CITIZENS OF SOUTHLAKE.

TURN MY ATTENTION TO SOME PEOPLE.

MAYOR [INAUDIBLE] HE PUT THE BUG IN MY EAR TO SERVE IN OUR COMMUNITY FIRST, SO I'M VERY THANKFUL FOR HIM.

WITHOUT HIS HIS NOD, I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE NEVER EVEN CONSIDERED VOLUNTEERING IN OUR CITY.

DIDN'T EVEN REALLY KNOW WHAT IT MEANT AT THAT TIME.

THEN CAME MAYOR TERRELL, AND HE WAS THE ONE WHO HELPED ME FIND A PLACE.

AND MY FIRST PLACE WAS THE ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS AND SERVED THERE FOR A FEW YEARS BEFORE MOVING OVER TO PARKS BOARD.

OBVIOUSLY, MAYOR HILL, SHE'S THE ONE THAT CONVINCED ME THAT AND ENCOURAGED ME THAT I SHOULD RUN FOR CITY COUNCIL AND OBVIOUSLY MAYOR HUFFMAN FOR ASKING ME TO BE HIS MAYOR PRO TEM. IT'S BEEN A PLEASURE.

[00:25:02]

I DON'T KNOW ANYONE THAT HAS A BIGGER SERVICE HEART THAN THE MAYOR HUFFMAN AND HIS FAMILY.

AND YOU WANT TO SEE HOW TO DO IT.

HE BRINGS HIS KIDS TO JUST ABOUT EVERY SINGLE EVENT, AND HIS KIDS KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO GIVE TIME AND TO SERVE SELFISHLY IN THIS COMMUNITY.

AND I THANK YOU FOR THAT LEADERSHIP AND THAT EXEMPLARY PARENTING.

I ADMIRE THAT OF YOU.

OK WE'RE NOT DONE.

SHANA, GREAT CITY MANAGER, THE ACTUAL BEDROCK AND FOUNDATION OF THIS CITY.

SHE'S BEEN DOING IT FOR A FEW YEARS.

SHE. SHE PROMISES TO STICK AROUND FOR A WHILE.

NOT SURE HOW LONG THAT'S GOING TO LAST, BUT WE WE'RE SO FORTUNATE AS AS RESIDENTS OF THIS COMMUNITY TO HAVE HER LEADERSHIP AND HER DIRECTION.

AND SHE'S BUILT SUCH AN INCREDIBLE TEAM.

ALLISON ORTOWSKI, I HOPE, IS HER PREDECESSOR ONE DAY.

AND, AND I HAVE ALL THE CONFIDENCE IN THE WORLD IN YOU, WHETHER IT'S HERE IN SOUTHLAKE OR SOMEWHERE ELSE.

TRIED TO GET HER TO MOVE TO MINERAL WELLS FOR A LITTLE PROJECT OUT THERE [LAUGHTER].

SHE SAID SHE WOULDN'T DO IT.

SO YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING RIGHT HERE TO KEEP HER AROUND.

OBVIOUSLY SHAREN JACKSON, THERE'S NOT A BETTER CFO ON THE PLANET.

SHE'S WON A TON OF AWARDS, AND I HAD THE PLEASURE OF SITTING AT A BANQUET A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO TO RECOGNIZE HER.

THIS CITY IS FISCALLY SOUND UNDER HER TUTELAGE, AND WE'RE SO, SO THANKFUL FOR YOUR CONSERVATIVE APPROACH AND MANAGING OUR FINANCES.

FOREVER INDEBTED FOR YOU.

YOU MAKE ALL OF US LOOK A LOT SMARTER THAN WE REALLY ARE.

SO THERE ARE DON'T.

DON'T KID OURSELVES AT ALL.

IT ALL COMES OUT FROM UNDERNEATH HER.

SO WE'RE VERY THANKFUL FOR YOU AND YOUR TEAM.

STACEY, YOU KNOW, I CAN'T THINK OF AN HR DIRECTOR THAT DOES A BETTER JOB OF TRYING TO LOOK FOR WAYS TO EMPOWER YOUR EMPLOYEES AND GIVE THEM A BETTER WORK ENVIRONMENT AND TO KEEP THEIR PREMIUMS AS LOW AS POSSIBLE.

AND WE'RE THANKFUL FOR THAT.

KEN BAKER. MY GOSH, YOU KNOW, IF YOU WANT TO LEARN ANYTHING ABOUT PLANNING OR ZONING, THIS MAN IS THE MAN.

UNDER HIS TUTELAGE, I'VE LEARNED MORE ABOUT PLANNING AND ZONING.

I'VE HAD MORE BEHIND THE SCENES MEETINGS, MORE CALLS, MORE REVIEWS OF PLATS, AND MORE MORE DIGGING INTO THE DETAILS ON WHAT SOMETHING MIGHT BE IN THE FUTURE BASED OFF OF AN APPLICATION WITH KEN THAN I HAVE WITH MY ENTIRE LIFE COMBINED.

AND I'M SO GRATEFUL FOR YOU, KEN.

YOU'RE A WARRIOR IN THIS ORGANIZATION AND SO THANKFUL FOR ALL THAT YOU DO.

YOU MAKE US ALL BETTER UP HERE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

ROB COHEN PUBLIC WORKS.

MY GOSH, WE HOPEFULLY ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO DELIVER THAT FACILITY FOR YOU SOON.

BUT MAN, YOUR TEAM, THEY WE LOST POWER A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO.

THEY WORKED THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT TO DO EVERYTHING THEY COULD TO GET IT BACK ON.

AND YOU TAKE CARE OF OUR STREETS AND ALL THE THINGS THAT MOST PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO DEAL WITH.

YOUR TEAM IS DOING IT AND THEY DO IT SO WELL AND THEY DO IT BECAUSE THEY'VE GOT A GREAT LEADER IN YOU.

SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.

I KNOW YOU HAVE A BIG SERVANT'S HEART AND OBVIOUSLY CHRIS TRIBBLE, HE RUNS OUR COMMUNITY SERVICES.

AND I WOULD I WOULD FEEL SAFE TO SAY THAT WE HAVE THE BEST PARK SYSTEM IN ALL OF TEXAS, AND CHRIS HAS THE PLEASURE OF RUNNING THAT TEAM.

AND SO WE'RE VERY THANKFUL FOR YOU, CHRIS.

I KNOW I'M MISSING FOLKS.

I KNOW I AM. AND DANIEL CORTEZ RUNS OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

HE ACTUALLY WENT WITH ME TO SAN ANTONIO WHEN I DID MY TRAINING, AND HE WAS FANTASTIC.

WE JOKED AROUND THE WHOLE TIME AND EVER SINCE THEN HE'S BEEN MY BUDDY AND I THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR SERVICE TO THIS COMMUNITY.

LET'S SEE HERE. CHIEF BRANDON AND CHIEF STARR.

I HOPE YOU BOTH KNOW HOW MUCH ADMIRATION AND RESPECT I HAVE FOR YOU AND YOUR TEAMS. YOUR LEADERSHIP EFFORTS PROTECT AND SERVE OUR COMMUNITY WITH THE HIGHEST PEER REVIEWED RATINGS AND DEPARTMENT CAN POSSIBLY HAVE BOTH OF YOU HIT THOSE MARKS.

I HOPE YOU ALWAYS FEEL, AS OUR COUNCIL LEANS INTO WHATEVER YOU MIGHT NEED TO HELP EXCEED YOUR GOALS.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP.

AMY SHELLEY, WHO IS NOT ABLE TO BE HERE TONIGHT, SHE'S OUR CITY SECRETARY AND HER STAFF ARE FANTASTIC.

I MEAN, YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT A SERVANT'S HEART.

YOU WALK INTO THE CITY SECRETARY'S OFFICE AND YOU GET NOTHING BUT SMILES.

THESE LADIES WORK HARD BEHIND THE SCENES TO MAKE SURE OUR CITY IS RUNNING EFFICIENTLY AND EFFECTIVELY.

THEIR SMILES ARE BIG AND THEIR HEARTS ARE EVEN BIGGER.

AND I THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU GUYS DO VERONICA.

MY FELLOW COUNCIL MEMBERS, I'LL SAVE EVERYONE THE HASSLE OF GOING THROUGH EACH ONE OF YOU.

BUT I DO WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN FROM EACH OF YOU.

YOU'RE ALSO VASTLY DIFFERENT WITH DISTINCT BACKGROUNDS, IDEAS AND STRENGTHS.

I THINK THAT'S WHAT MAKES THIS COUNCIL SO SPECIAL.

I'VE LEARNED SOMETHING FROM EACH OF YOU, AND I AM FOREVER GRATEFUL FOR WHAT YOU HAVE TAUGHT ME.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR FRIENDSHIP.

IT HAS BEEN AN HONOR TO BE YOUR PEER.

SHAWN MCCASKILL.

WE STARTED THIS JOURNEY TOGETHER BACK ON ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS 11 YEARS OR SO AGO.

SERVED TOGETHER ON COUNCIL FOR FIVE YEARS.

AND NOW I HAVE THE PLEASURE OF TURNING OVER THIS SEAT TO YOU.

I CAN'T THINK OF A BETTER HUMAN BEING TO SERVE IN THIS ROLE THAN YOU.

[00:30:03]

I THANK YOU, MY FRIEND.

I'M THANKFUL FOR OUR FRIENDSHIP AND BEING ABLE TO RAISE OUR FAMILIES AND WATCH THEM GROW TOGETHER.

THANK YOU. AND FINALLY, FOR THOSE OF YOU YOU KNOW OR FOLLOW A LITTLE COLLEGE BASKETBALL, THERE WAS THIS FAMOUS COACH BACK IN THE EIGHTIES THAT PULLED HIS TEAM FROM THE BOTTOM AND WON A NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP.

HIS NAME IS JIMMY VALVANO.

AND SHORTLY AFTER THAT CHAMPIONSHIP, HE WAS STRUCK WITH CANCER.

AND AS COACH JIMMY V WAS DYING FROM CANCER AND TRYING TO RAISE CANCER AWARENESS AND MONEY FOR THE JIMMY V FOUNDATION, HE WAS QUOTED AS SAYING, "A PERSON REALLY DOESN'T BECOME WHOLE UNTIL HE BECOMES A PART OF SOMETHING BIGGER THAN HIMSELF." I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY.

THANK YOU FOR TRUSTING ME AND FOR ALLOWING ME TO SERVE.

SERVING OUR COMMUNITY HAS CERTAINLY BEEN A PART OF SOMETHING BIGGER THAN MYSELF.

THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE] WELL, WE'RE NOT GOING TO FOLLOW THAT ONE.

WELL SAID CHAD WELL SAID.

SHANA, WE DO HAVE SOME GIFTS, THOUGH.

WE DON'T WANT TO GO, YOU AND I, GOING DOWN FRONT AND CHAD WILL JOIN US DOWN FOR US, MY MAN.

THERE IS NO WAY THAT THE GIFTS THAT WE GIVE ARE SUFFICIENT FOR THE INVESTMENT THAT YOU'VE MADE.

BUT WE DO OUR BEST BECAUSE WE WANT TO COMMEMORATE YOUR TIME HERE ON COUNCIL AND YOUR SERVICE TO THE CITY.

SO THE MAYOR, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS VANNA, IS GOING TO HELP DISTRIBUTE THESE GIFTS FOR YOU SERVICE PLAQUE, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, EVERYONE NEEDS AN EXTRA PLAQUE FOR THEIR WALL, RIGHT, [LAUGHTER] 2016 TO 2022, NOT A SMALL AMOUNT OF TIME. WE ARE SO APPRECIATIVE.

WE ALSO HAVE A FRAMED PHOTOGRAPH OF TOWN HALL AND A KEY TO THE CITY.

BECAUSE YOU NEED A KEY TO THE CITY.

NOT THAT WE'RE GOING TO LOCK YOU OUT, BUT.

AND THEN WE HAVE MY FAVORITE GIFT, WHICH IS THE MEMORY BOX.

AND YOU'LL FIND NOTES IN THERE FROM FROM FOLKS JUST THANKING YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.

SO WE HOPE ALL OF THESE THINGS WILL REMIND YOU OF YOUR TIME WITH US, AND YOU'LL THINK OF US FONDLY.

[INAUDIBLE] ONE MORE.

AND THIS ONE IS FROM THE MAYOR.

THIS IS THE MOST VALUABLE, PROBABLY THE MOST VALUABLE OF THEM ALL IN THIS ENVELOPE FOR MR. CHAD PATTON I HAVE ONE YEAR PARKING PASS FOR OUR PARKING DOWN THERE AT THE TOWN HALL.

[LAUGHTER] USE AS MUCH AS YOUR HEART'S DESIRE.

[APPLAUSE] OKAY. WELL, MICROPHONES RIGHT OVER THERE.

WELL, THANKS TO EVERYBODY FOR MAKING THAT SO SPECIAL.

CHAD WELL SAID, MY FRIEND.

[APPLAUSE]. ALL RIGHT . CONGRATULATIONS, ALL THREE OF YOU.

BEFORE I TURN IT OVER TO THE COUNCIL MEMBERS TO GIVE SOME REMARKS, LET ME JUST SAY WE WERE WE WERE BLESSED THIS SPRING TO HAVE THREE UNOPPOSED CITY COUNCIL RACES. AND HAVING RUN UNOPPOSED RACES UNOPPOSED RACES, THERE'S NOTHING LIKE RUNNING UNOPPOSED.

IT'S PRETTY FUN. I GOT TO TELL YOU, SCHOOL BOARD GUYS IS PRETTY FUN.

ALL RIGHT. YOU'LL GET THERE.

BUT I WANT TO BE REALLY CLEAR WHAT THAT MEANS, WHAT THAT MEANS TO THE COUNCIL MEMBERS, BECAUSE IT'S A RINGING ENDORSEMENT OF THE WORK THAT THEY'VE DONE OVER THE LAST THREE OR SIX YEARS. IT'S AN INCREDIBLE EMBRACING FROM THE COMMUNITY OF OF NOT ONLY THEIR EFFORTS ON CITY COUNCIL, BUT ALSO THEIR CHARACTER TO BE UNOPPOSED IN A RACE LIKE THIS IN A CITY THAT CARES VERY DEEPLY ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO TAKE THE MANTLE OF LEADERSHIP.

SO ALTHOUGH THERE WAS NO BALLOT BOX AND WE DIDN'T HAVE TO GO STAND ON THE STREET CORNER FOR THREE WEEKS STRAIGHT, IT IS NO LESS AN INCREDIBLE, INCREDIBLE FEAT AND VICTORY.

SO CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THREE OF YOU.

IF YOU GUYS HAVE REMARKS, I'LL START.

HOW ABOUT YOU, SHAWN? THANK YOU, MAYOR.

THANK YOU, COUNCIL.

I'M WELL AWARE OF OUR THREE MINUTE TIMER UP THERE, SO I'M GOING TO TRY TO KEEP MY REMARKS CLOSE TO 3 MINUTES.

I REALLY HAVE MOSTLY THANK YOU'S RATHER THAN A PREPARED SPEECH.

OF COURSE, FIRST AND FOREMOST, I WANT TO THANK MY FAMILY, OF COURSE, LAURA, WHO, AMONG ALL THE OTHER THINGS SHE DOES IN LIFE, HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE LEADER OF OUR CAMPAIGNS. SERVED AS OUR CAMPAIGN TREASURER, LEADS EVERYTHING WE DO ON THE POLITICAL SIDE, FROM SIGN DESIGNS, TO SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS,

[00:45:09]

AND IT'S SOMETHING I DON'T HAVE AND I HAVE TO LEAN ON HER TO DO IT FOR ME AND IT SEEMS TO WORK.

SO THANK YOU, HONEY, FOR ALL YOU DO FOR OUR FAMILY AND IN PARTICULAR HERE AT CITY COUNCIL CAMPAIGNS.

I WANT TO THANK MY FOUR KIDS WHO ARE HERE, JOE AND MATTIE AND CAROLINE AND JACK.

JOE AND MATTIE ARE HOME FROM COLLEGE AND THEY'RE OF VOTING AGE.

SO THEY SAID THEY WERE GOING TO VOTE FOR ME IF THEY HAD THE CHANCE.

SO I'M GOING TO HOLD THEM TO THAT.

BUT I'M GLAD THEY'RE HERE AND I KNOW I HAVE TO SPEND SOME TIME AWAY FROM THEM FOR CITY COUNCIL DUTIES AND RELATED ACTIVITIES AND THEY JUST SEEM TO HANDLE THEIR BUSINESS WITH WITHOUT ME HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT IT.

AND IT'S A BLESSING TO HAVE KIDS THAT ARE SO GROWN UP AND SO MATURE AND SO RESPONSIBLE THAT THEY CAN DO THINGS WHEN I'M NOT THERE.

AND I'M GRATEFUL FOR THAT.

I ALSO WANT TO THANK OUR CAMPAIGN TEAM, LED BY PROBABLY THE NUMBER ONE VOLUNTEER IN SOUTH LAKE, CHRISTINE KEMP AND HER FAMILY.

[APPLAUSE] YES.

YOU ALL KNOW THAT CHRISTINE DOES A LOT OF THINGS IN SOUTH LAKE.

AND FORTUNATELY, SHE WAS WILLING TO SIGN ON TO HELP LAURA AND RUN OUR CAMPAIGN.

AND FOR THAT 30 DAY FILING PERIOD WHERE WE WERE CAMPAIGNING EVERY DAY, IT WAS LIKE A SPRINT EVERY DAY.

AND YOU HANDLED IT WITH GREAT IDEAS, INCREDIBLE WORK ETHIC AND AN AWESOME SENSE OF HUMOR.

AND I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU IN THE FUTURE.

AND WHATEVER THE FUTURE HOLDS FOR YOU, I WANT TO BE A PART OF IT BECAUSE I VALUE YOUR FRIENDSHIP AND YOUR FAMILY.

SO THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART FOR HELPING MY FAMILY.

NEXT UP, I WANT TO THANK MY FRIEND MAYOR JOHN HUFFMAN AND ELIZABETH HUFFMAN FOR THEIR MANY YEARS OF FRIENDSHIP AND SUPPORT.

YOU KNOW, WE STARTED THIS JOURNEY TOGETHER MANY YEARS AGO.

WE DON'T HAVE TO SAY HOW MANY YEARS, BUT WE'VE CAMPAIGNED TOGETHER.

WE'VE CAMPAIGNED FOR EACH OTHER MANY TIMES, INCLUDING LAST YEAR AND THIS YEAR.

AND I HAVE TO SAY THAT LAURA AND I ARE PROUD TO BE ON THE SAME TEAM AS YOU AND ELIZABETH.

AND I LOOK FORWARD TO MANY MORE YEARS OF BEING ON THE SAME TEAM AS YOU GUYS.

IT'S A BLESSING TO BE ON YOUR TEAM.

I'M THANKFUL AND EXCITED FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE WITH OUR NEWEST CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS, AMY LEPP AND RANDY ROBBINS.

OBVIOUSLY, I LEFT COUNCIL LAST YEAR WHEN THEY CAME ON BOARD AND ALSO WITH KATHY TALLEY, WHO GOT A LITTLE BIT OF A LATE START BECAUSE HER ELECTION IN 2020 WAS DELAYED UNTIL NOVEMBER.

SO WE ONLY GOT TO SERVE FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS TOGETHER.

BUT I HAVE TO ADMIT, I'M ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE THAT WAS WATCHING THE CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS ONLINE DURING MY BREAK.

AND I HAVE TO SAY, I REALLY ADMIRED HOW YOU ALL JUMPED RIGHT IN WITH BOTH FEET, ALWAYS PREPARED GREAT QUESTIONS, JUST REPRESENTING THE CITY IN THE MANNER THAT I THINK THE CITY HAS COME TO EXPECT.

AND SO SEEING YOU ALL UP HERE MADE ME REALLY JEALOUS AND REALLY WANTING TO GET A CHANCE TO SERVE WITH YOU ALL.

SO I'M SO EXCITED THAT I GET THIS CHANCE TO WORK WITH ALL OF YOU, AND I'M THANKFUL FOR THAT OPPORTUNITY.

AND SPEAKING OF AMY, AMY AND RONELL, CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR REELECTIONS.

DURING OUR BRIEF, YOU KNOW, 30 DAY CAMPAIGN, I THINK WE HAD A LOT OF TIME TO HAVE A LOT OF LAUGHS, PUT IN A LOT OF WORK.

AND I THINK IT STRENGTHENED OUR FRIENDSHIP ALSO WITH OUR SPOUSES.

AND SCOTT AND RACHEL, YOU KNOW, WE HAD A LOT OF FUN.

WE DON'T NEED TO TELL ALL THE STORIES ABOUT THE FUN THINGS WE DID.

BUT I THINK OUR OUR GROWING FRIENDSHIP IN THOSE 30 DAYS AND SINCE THEN WILL SERVE US WELL WORKING TOGETHER UP HERE FOR THE NEXT THREE YEARS.

SO CONGRATULATIONS TO BOTH OF YOU ON YOUR REELECTION.

WELL DESERVED. I'M ALSO THANKFUL TO AGAIN SERVE WITH MY FRIEND RANDY WILLIAMSON.

I, I CAN'T THINK OF ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF SOMEONE WHO DEFINES SOUTHLAKE AND WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A VOLUNTEER THROUGH MANY YEARS OF EXEMPLARY VOLUNTEER SERVICE TO OUR COMMUNITY IN VARIOUS CAPACITIES.

THERE'S PROBABLY NOTHING IN THIS CITY THAT RANDY WILLIAMSON HASN'T TOUCHED IN SOME WAY, AND OUR CITY IS BETTER, BETTER BECAUSE OF IT.

A BIG PART OF WHY I WANTED TO COME BACK AND SERVE ON COUNCIL AND HAVE THIS OPPORTUNITY WAS TO GET TO SERVE WITH YOU, MY FRIEND.

AND, YOU KNOW, VERY OFTEN IN OUR PAST WORKING TOGETHER, YOU AND I MIGHT COME AT THINGS FROM MAYBE DIFFERENT ANGLES OR PERSPECTIVES, BUT INVARIABLY WE ENDED UP AT THE SAME PLACE AND THERE WAS USUALLY A LOT OF GOOD DISCUSSION AND DEBATE, AND I BECAME SMARTER FOR HAVING BEEN IN THOSE DEBATES WITH YOU.

SO I THANK YOU FOR THAT AND I LOOK FORWARD TO MORE IN MORE OF THE SAME IN THE FUTURE.

I WANT TO THANK OUR CITY STAFF LED BY SHANA YELVERTON AND HER TEAM.

THAT'S ALL HERE IN THE FRONT ROW.

I MISSED YOU GUYS.

I REALLY DID. I'VE I THINK I LEARNED A LOT AND BECAME A BETTER CITY COUNCIL MEMBER EACH YEAR THAT I SERVED.

AND IT WAS BECAUSE OF YOU ALL I KNOW.

I'VE CALLED AND TEXTED AND BOTHERED ALL OF YOU ALONG THE WAY.

I PROMISE I'LL DO IT AGAIN.

BUT I REALLY RESPECT AND ADMIRE YOUR SERVICE TO THE CITY AND BEING WILLING TO HELP ALL OF US DO THE VERY BEST WE CAN UP HERE.

SO THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU AND I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU ALL AGAIN.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST, MY FRIEND CHAD PATTON, WHO LAURA AND I WERE TALKING ABOUT THIS AND THE PATTONS ARE FAMILY TO US.

WE, CHAD, ALREADY HIT ON SOME OF THESE POINTS THAT WE STARTED ON ZBA BACK MANY YEARS AGO.

[00:50:02]

BASICALLY, WE HAVEN'T CHANGED AT ALL, BUT BACK THEN WE HAD A LOT OF FUN AND WE REALLY BOTH, I THINK, HAD THE SAME HEART FOR SERVICE.

AND WE LOVE THIS COMMUNITY.

WE WANTED TO RAISE OUR FAMILIES HERE AND THIS WAS OUR WAY OF GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY THAT WAS SO GOOD TO OUR FAMILY.

SO I THINK WE ARE A LOT THE SAME.

AND SO WE STARTED ON ZBA AND THEN FOR FIVE YEARS STRAIGHT WE SAT SIDE BY SIDE UP HERE.

AND WHEN I LEFT, IT WAS REALLY WEIRD.

IT WAS IT WAS STRANGE NOT SEEING CHAD, YOU KNOW, AT LEAST TWICE A MONTH, USUALLY MORE THAN THAT.

BUT I FROM SERVING ON CITY COUNCIL AND JUST BEING YOUR FRIEND, I'VE REALLY ADMIRED HOW YOU'VE HANDLED YOURSELF, HOW YOU'VE HANDLED THE CITY'S BUSINESS WITH YOUR EXPERIENCE AND EXPERTISE AND HUMILITY AND HUMOR.

YOU'RE REALLY A GREAT EXAMPLE OF WHAT IT MEANS TO BE FROM SOUTHLAKE AND TO SERVE SOUTH LAKE.

IT WAS AN HONOR AND A PRIVILEGE TO SERVE WITH YOU, AND IT'S AN HONOR AND A PRIVILEGE TO SIT RIGHT HERE AND BE YOUR SUCCESSOR.

AND I'M GRATEFUL FOR THAT OPPORTUNITY.

WE LOVE YOU GUYS LIKE FAMILY, AND WE WISH YOU ALL THE BEST AND WHATEVER YOU CHOOSE TO DO IN THE FUTURE.

BUT PLEASE STAY IN TOUCH WITH US.

WE'LL MISS YOU GUYS.

FINALLY, I'LL LEAVE YOU WITH A PRESIDENTIAL QUOTE, WHICH I THINK REALLY SUMS UP WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE.

PUBLIC SERVICE IS A NOBLE CALLING, AND WE NEED MEN AND WOMEN OF CHARACTER TO BELIEVE IN THEIR COMMUNITIES.

AND MY FRIEND AND MENTOR, MAYOR LAURA HILL, ALWAYS SAID, I BELIEVE IN SOUTHLAKE.

AND I THINK WE ALL SHARE THAT SAME BELIEF IN SOUTH LAKE.

AND I REALLY BELIEVE WITH OUR TEAM HERE AND THE PEOPLE IN THIS ROOM THAT THE BEST OF SOUTHLAKE IS YET TO COME.

LET'S MAKE IT HAPPEN TOGETHER.

LET'S GET TO WORK. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BEING HERE TONIGHT.

[APPLAUSE] VERY WELL SAID, SHAWN WELCOME BACK, COUNCIL MEMBER SMITH.

WHY DO WE HAVE TO GO IN THAT ORDER, BY THE WAY? [LAUGHTER] IT'S A TOUGH ACT TO FOLLOW, BUT YOU'RE THE MAN FOR IT.

NO, I'M PREPARED, I THANK YOU ANYWAY.

YOU KNOW, YOU SAID SOMETHING, SHAWN, THAT THAT REALLY RESONATES.

YOU KNOW, PEOPLE LIKE US FOR AS GREAT A GUYS AND GALS AS WE ARE, WE DON'T GET ELECTED WITHOUT PEOPLE LIKE [INAUDIBLE] AND CHRISTINE KEMP AND NUMEROUS OTHERS.

THE REALITY IS IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT SITTING UP HERE ON THE DIOCESE.

A LOT OF WORK IS A LOT OF PEOPLE YOU HAVE TO MEET PEOPLE WHO HAVE TO FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOU, WHO DON'T KNOW YOU.

THE THING I THINK ABOUT THE LAST TIME I REMEMBER BEING AT THE BACK OF THE ROOM AND STARING AT EVERYBODY'S HEADS, I REMEMBER MATT BRYANT, WHO HAD SUPPORTED ME.

FORMER SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER MATT BRYANT WAS AT THE BACK OF THE ROOM AND HE STARTED CRYING AND I STARTED TO GET A LITTLE EMOTIONAL AS I LOOKED AT THE BACK OF MY DAUGHTERS AND WIFE'S HEADS, MY DAUGHTERS REMINDED ME THAT THERE WERE A LOT SMALLER THAN I REMEMBER NOT REMEMBERING TO COME TO THE DAIS, BUT IT WAS IT WAS JUST A TREMENDOUS SENSE OF PRIDE THAT, YOU KNOW, FOR ME, THIS IS THE SAME SPOT I SAT IN WHEN I WAS ON THE ZBA FOR FOUR YEARS PREVIOUS.

WE MOVED HERE IN 15.

I APPLIED TO A BOARD IN NOVEMBER 15-14 AND GOT APPOINTED IN APRIL OF 15.

AND IT'S JUST BEEN A TREMENDOUS JOURNEY AND I'M SO THANKFUL THAT I GET TO RAISE MY DAUGHTERS IN THE COMMUNITY LIKE SOUTHLAKE WE ALWAYS TELL THEM, YOU'RE NOT YOU'RE NOT PRIVILEGED TO LIVE IN SOUTHLAKE.

YOU'RE NOT LUCKY, BUT YOU ARE BLESSED TO LIVE IN SOUTHLAKE BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T NEED TO LIVE IN A $2 MILLION HOUSE.

THAT'S NOT A GUARANTEE AS A PARENT.

BUT YOU SHOULD LIVE IN A SAFE COMMUNITY.

AND FOR WHAT? FOR EVERYTHING PEOPLE SAY ABOUT SOUTHLAKE, EVEN IF PEOPLE DON'T LIKE IT, IT IS RECOGNIZED AS ONE OF THE SAFEST PLACES IN THE WORLD.

BUT I'D BE REMISS IF I DIDN'T BEGIN BY SINGLING OUT MY BEAUTIFUL WIFE, MY HIGH SCHOOL SWEETHEART.

I'M SURE THERE'S MANY DAYS.

PROBABLY MOST DAYS. SHE'S TIRED OF DEALING WITH ME.

BUT I STILL REMEMBER WHEN I TOLD HER THAT I WAS GOING TO RUN.

SHE'S PROBABLY THINKING WHY? BUT SHE SAID TO ME THE NEXT MORNING, SOMETHING THAT STAYS WITH ME TO THIS DAY.

SHE SAYS, YOU'RE A VERY PRINCIPLED PERSON.

AS LONG AS YOU PROMISE ME YOU WON'T COMPROMISE YOUR PRINCIPLES.

YOU HAVE MY FULL SUPPORT, MY DAUGHTERS.

YOU'RE MY WHY, YOU KNOW THAT.

YOU'RE YOU'RE WHAT I LIVE FOR.

I TRY TO BE THE EXAMPLE THAT MY PARENTS WERE TO ME.

PUBLIC SERVICE.

MY PARENTS DENIED A LOT WITH REGARD TO THEIR KIDS BECAUSE WE WERE ALWAYS INVOLVED IN THINGS.

I NEVER HAD A HALLOWEEN BECAUSE WE'RE ALWAYS DOING THINGS FOR LESS FORTUNATE KIDS.

BUT PUBLIC SERVICE WAS THE EMBODIMENT OF MY EXPERIENCE GROWING UP.

FAITH, FAMILY, EDUCATION, HARD WORK, THRIFT AND BELIEF IN COUNTRY WERE SOMETHING THAT WAS REALLY, REALLY IMPORTANT TO ME.

AND SO I ALWAYS TELL THEM, I'M GOING TO PAY YOU BACK ONE DAY.

BY BY, LITTLE [INAUDIBLE] BEING RAISED HERE, AND I'LL SPOIL THEM.

THEY'RE GOING TO THEY'RE GOING TO BE RAISED HERE.

I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'LL LET ME SPOIL THEM AS I'D LIKE, AS I SAID, I REMEMBER SITTING AT THE BACK AND THINKING OF ALL THE THINGS THAT I WAS GOING TO DO.

AND IT'S A CONVERSATION I HAD WITH MR. PATTON COPELAND.

AND HE SAID, DUDE, HOW ARE YOU GOING TO DO ALL THIS STUFF? AND I SAID, WELL, A LOT OF IT IS STUFF THAT I ALREADY DO, BUT I REMEMBER MARY HILL, MY GOOD FRIEND, SANG TO ME.

SHE CALLED ME UP AND SHE SAID, RONELL, YOU DON'T HAVE TO TAKE ANY ADVICE I GIVE YOU.

SHE SAID, BUT I'D I'D ASK YOU TO TAKE THIS ONE PIECE OF ADVICE.

JUST FOCUS ON BEING THE BEST COUNCILMAN YOU CAN FOR THE FIRST YEAR, SHE SAID.

THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS ON YOUR PLATE.

I HAD 77 THINGS I WANTED TO DO AND I TOOK THAT TO HEART.

I JUST FOCUSED IN 2019 ON BEING THE BEST COUNCILMAN I COULD THINK OF ALL THE THINGS I GET TO DO IN 2020.

[00:55:03]

I SAID TO ME IT BECAME THE THE, THE TENURE OF THE ACRONYM.

SO 2019 IT WAS APTS DEPARTMENT VOTE.

2020 WAS COVID.

THE PROTESTS IN [INAUDIBLE].

RIGHT 2021 IT WAS NBC AND ALL THE THINGS THAT WERE WORKING TO PULL THIS COMMUNITY APART.

AND I ALWAYS TELL PEOPLE THIS IS A STRONG, VIBRANT COMMUNITY.

IT'S A TYPE OF COMMUNITY THAT I WANT TO LIVE.

IT'S THE ONLY TYPE OF COMMUNITY I LIVE IN.

IT'S THE ONLY COMMUNITY I'M INTERESTED IN LIVING IN.

BUT I THINK PEOPLE LOOK AT COUNCIL AS A BALLAST.

I THINK PEOPLE HAVE LOOKED AT US AND THE THINGS THAT WE'VE CONTINUED TO DO, THE SUPPORT, THE SUPPORT WE PROVIDED FOR SMALL BUSINESSES AFTER JUDGE WHITLEY LOCKED THE CITY DOWN.

THAT'LL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN AFTER THIS NEXT VOTE, BY THE WAY, NEXT THE JUDGE VOTE.

AND I THINK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THE GRANTS WE MADE AVAILABLE, YOU KNOW, WE LESSEN THE SIGN RESTRICTIONS.

THERE WAS A LOT OF THINGS WE DID TO TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE THE SUPPORT TO THIS COMMUNITY THAT THAT WAS NEEDED IN ADDITION TO PROVIDING TAX RELIEF, CONTINUING WITH THE THE LOWEST TAX HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION POSSIBLE.

BUT AS FORMER NEW JERSEY GOVERNOR CHRIS CHRISTIE ONCE SAID, ELECTIONS AREN'T ABOUT THE PAST OR ABOUT THE FUTURE.

SO I'M VERY TRANSPARENT.

I WANT TO CONTINUE DOING THE THINGS THAT I'M THAT I'VE BEEN DOING, SUPPORTING SMALL BUSINESSES.

I WORK EVERY DAY TO GET IN CONTACT WITH 2 TO 3 SMALL BUSINESSES AND FIND WAYS TO BE INVOLVED TO HELP THEM.

I'M I'M GOING TO WORK DILIGENTLY TO GET THE LIBRARY OUT OF THE BASEMENT.

THIS COMMUNITY DESERVES A BETTER LIBRARY.

WE'RE A LIBRARY FAMILY.

YOU KNOW WHAT THIS IS A LIBRARY COMMUNITY, THOUGH, IN THIS COMMUNITY WON'T SIT.

THEY NEED IT. AND.

WE'RE GOING TO DO THAT BECAUSE I KNOW WE HAVE THE SUPPORT, WE HAVE A SUPPORTIVE COUNCIL AND WE HAVE A SUPPORTIVE COMMUNITY.

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST AND THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT, I MEAN, I ALWAYS TELL PEOPLE SOUTHLAKE, IT'S IMPORTANT TO ME FOR A DIFFERENT REASON.

MY KIDS ARE ALWAYS MY KIDS AT HOME.

MY GRANDKIDS WILL BE RAISED HERE, THEIR GRANDDAD WILL BE HERE FOREVER.

WE'LL ALWAYS HAVE A HOUSE HERE.

MY WIFE KNOWS THAT AND SHE BUYS IN THAT TOO BY THE WAY, IT'S NOT JUST ME.

AND SO TO ME, THE WAY THAT I FEEL ABOUT THIS COMMUNITY IS VERY UNIQUE.

IT'S VERY DIFFERENT. AND SO WHAT I'D LIKE TO SAY IS, YOU KNOW, NBC DOESN'T GET TO TELL OUR STORY.

THE WAY I LOOK AT IT, THIS IS THE BOOK ON SOUTHLAKE IS NOT WRITTEN AND I INTEND TO ADD A FEW CHAPTERS OVER THE NEXT THREE YEARS.

THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE] WELL SAID, RONELL.

WELL SAID. WELCOME BACK, COUNCIL WOMAN TORRES-LEPP.

TAKE IT AWAY. THANK YOU, MAYOR.

SO I WANT TO SHARE A LITTLE STORY THAT I'VE NEVER PROBABLY SHARED PUBLICLY.

AND THAT'S HOW I GOT STARTED.

TO BE SITTING HERE TODAY AND SCOTT AND I WERE JUST NEWLY MARRIED SEVERAL YEARS BACK, AND I MADE A COMMENT THAT IT HAD BEEN A LIFELONG GOAL OF MINE TO SERVE ON A CITY COUNCIL.

AND HE SAID, YOU CAN'T DO THAT.

AND I SAID, WHAT DO YOU MEAN? HE SAID, THAT'S THAT. NO, WE CAN'T.

NO, WE CAN'T.

WE CAN'T TAKE THAT TIME.

IT'S TOO BIG OF A COMMITMENT.

AND I SAID TO HIM, ARE YOU KIDDING ME? BECAUSE I MARRIED THE MOST SUPPORTIVE MAN IN THE WORLD.

I SAID, ARE YOU REALLY NOT GOING TO RUN AROUND SIGNS AND LIKE HELP ME WIN? LIKE, REALLY? AND HE GOES, NO, I JUST DON'T THINK OUR FAMILY DON'T THINK YOU CAN DO THAT.

AND I TOOK THAT TO HEART.

RIGHT. I, I LOVED MY HUSBAND AND I THOUGHT, OKAY, IT'S NOT RIGHT FOR MY FAMILY.

IT'S NOT RIGHT FOR HIM THEN. IT'S NOT IT'S NOT RIGHT FOR ME.

AND SO SOME TIME WENT BY AND I RAN INTO MR. MCCASKILL AND MR. HUFFMAN AT A CHAMBER RIBBON CUTTING, AND I SHARED THE SAME COMMENT THAT I SHARED WITH MY HUSBAND.

YOU KNOW, IT'S A LIFELONG DREAM.

I WOULD LOVE TO SERVE ON COUNCIL.

AND THEY SAID, ARE YOU SERIOUS? LET'S HAVE COFFEE. AND SO I WENT TO COFFEE WITH BOTH JOHN AND SHAWN SEVERAL YEARS BACK, AND THEY SAID, YOU KNOW, REALLY WHAT YOU NEED TO DO IS GET INVOLVED AND YOU SHOULD APPLY. YOU HAVE A TITLE INSURANCE BACKGROUND, YOU SHOULD APPLY FOR ZBA OR P&Z AND AND GET INVOLVED IN THAT WAY.

SO I CAME HOME AND RAN IT, YOU KNOW, RAN IT PAST SCOTT AND SCOTT'S LIKE, YEAH, THAT'D BE GREAT.

YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT AS BIG OF A COMMITMENT.

AND SO I WAS I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO HAVE BEEN APPOINTED TO P&Z THAT NEXT TIME AND SOMEWHERE ALONG THE WAY, AND I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHEN IT HAPPENED, BUT SCOTT GOT AS PASSIONATE, IF NOT MORE, ABOUT SERVING THIS COMMUNITY THAN I DID.

HE WOULD WATCH THE P&Z MEETINGS AND HE WOULD COME AND SIT IN THE AUDIENCE.

AND THEN WHEN MY PACKET ARRIVED, HE WOULD GO THROUGH THE PACKET AND HE KNEW WHAT WAS ON THE AGENDA BEFORE I EVEN LOOKED AT MY PACKET.

AND IT WAS REALLY COOL TO WATCH HIM TRANSITION.

AND AT SOME POINT HE SAID TO ME, YOU NEED TO RUN FOR COUNCIL.

AND I'M LIKE, WHAT? SERIOUSLY, YOU REALLY YOU REALLY WILL SUPPORT ME IN DOING THAT.

AND HE'S LIKE, ABSOLUTELY.

AND I JUST LOVE THAT MAN.

THAT'S WHO MY HUSBAND IS TO THE CORE.

[01:00:03]

AND HE DID IT AGAIN THIS YEAR, OUR SHORT 30 DAY CAMPAIGN TIME DIGITIZING OUR SIGN LOCATIONS FOR NOT JUST, YOU KNOW, ME WHO ENDED UP NOT HAVING TO PUT OUT SIGNS, BUT SOME OF THE OTHER CANDIDATES.

AND AND IT TOOK A LOT OF TIME.

AND HE HE WAS JUST TEXTING WITH CAM, I THINK, LAST WEEK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THE ORDER OF THE SIGNS AT MILNER SO THAT MINE WERE READY IN THREE MORE YEARS AND THAT AND SO IT'S JUST REALLY COOL TO SEE HIS SERVANT'S HEART SHINE THROUGH.

SO THANK YOU, SCOTT.

AND THEN I HAVE TWO OF MY FIVE CHILDREN IN THE AUDIENCE WITH ME TONIGHT.

AND THE 20 YEAR OLD FROM TEXAS A&M SURPRISED ME AND WALKED INTO THE HOUSE ABOUT 2 HOURS AGO.

I HAD NO IDEA THAT HE WAS COMING.

SO THANK YOU, STEVEN.

THAT WAS REALLY SUPER SPECIAL.

AND THEN DILLON'S ALREADY DILLON'S ALREADY PLANNING LIKE YOU'RE GOING TO BE ON THE CITY COUNCIL THROUGH ME BEING IN HIGH SCHOOL, RIGHT? BECAUSE IT'S KIND OF COOL.

AND SO THAT'S HE WAS FUNNY DURING THE ELECTION LAST YEAR.

HE'S LIKE, MOM, THERE'S PEOPLE AT OUR SCHOOL WEARING YOUR HATS AND STUFF.

AND SO I LOVE THAT.

AND MY FAMILY IS SUPER SUPPORTIVE AND ALL OF THEM, ALL FIVE CHILDREN AND THEN, OF COURSE, MY HUSBAND.

SO I ALSO WANT TO THANK KAREN SHERMAN.

SHE I WAS HESITANT TO ASK HER TO HELP ME AGAIN THIS YEAR BECAUSE LAST YEAR WAS ROUGH AND SHE PUT IN COUNTLESS HOURS.

BUT I KNEW I COULD NOT HAVE ANY OTHER CAMPAIGN MANAGERS.

YOU SIMPLY THE BEST.

SHE COULDN'T BE HERE TONIGHT.

AND SHE SENT ME THE SWEETEST TEXT MESSAGE ABOUT WHAT A BLESSING I AM TO THE COMMUNITY.

AND THAT JUST MELTS MY HEART TO HEAR THAT.

AND AND SO SHE SHE JUMPED IN TWO FEET IN AGAIN THIS TIME AROUND AND WAS WILLING TO HELP ME TAKE IT TO THE FINISH LINE, WHICH WE DIDN'T END UP HAVING TO REALLY DO. NOT HAVING AN OPPONENT OPPONENT WAS, WAS GREAT.

I, I'M NOT KIDDING WHEN I SAY I PRAYED FOR THAT ALL YEAR.

I IT'S A TRUE TESTAMENT TO TO NOT HAVE AN OPPOSED ELECTION.

AND SO THANK YOU TO THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE AND THE RESIDENTS FOR TRUSTING ME AND FOR ALLOWING ME TO SERVE.

WHEN I TOOK THE ONE YEAR TERM I REMEMBER KIND OF BEING LIKE, WELL, YOU KNOW, IT'S ONE YEAR.

AND HUFFMAN SAID TO ME, YEAH, BUT IT DOESN'T COUNT TOWARDS YOUR TERM LIMITS.

SO THINK OF IT THIS WAY.

IT'S ACTUALLY BETTER BECAUSE YOU COULD SERVE SEVEN YEARS INSTEAD OF SIX.

I'M LIKE, OKAY, I LIKE THAT.

THAT'S I CAN DIG THAT.

AND SO WHAT I SAID TO MY HUSBAND WAS, IF FOR SOME REASON I DON'T LOVE IT AS MUCH AS I'VE THOUGHT THAT I WOULD MY ENTIRE LIFE, IT TRULY IS A ONE YEAR TERM, RIGHT? I COULD CHANGE MY MIND AND THAT'S NOT WHAT HAPPENED.

I LOVE IT. I LOVE IT MORE THAN I EVER COULD HAVE DREAMT OF.

I LOVE SERVING ALONG LIKE MINDED PEOPLE.

I HAVE MADE SOME OF MY GREATEST FRIENDS HERE.

WE PLAY WORDLE IN THE MORNING, A COUPLE OF US, AND WE'RE WE.

I JUST. YEAH, THE MAYOR IS REALLY GOOD AT WORDLE, BY THE WAY, BUT IT'S JUST BEEN IT'S I'VE MET JUST PASSIONATE PEOPLE WHO CARE ABOUT SOUTHLAKE, WHO CARE ABOUT HEARING PEOPLE AND DOING THE RIGHT THING.

AND THAT'S BEEN REALLY, REALLY JUST GREAT FOR MY HEART AND MY SOUL.

PEOPLE OFTEN ASK ME HOW I FIT THIS IN BECAUSE I RUN A SMALL BUSINESS IN TOWN, FIVE KIDS.

AND THE SIMPLE ANSWER IS YOU MAKE TIME FOR WHAT'S IMPORTANT TO YOU.

AND I LOVE TO BE BUSY, FIRST OF ALL, AND I LOVE TO DO MEANINGFUL THINGS.

SO YOU'RE PROBABLY NOT GOING TO FIND ME BINGE WATCHING NETFLIX.

YOU KNOW, I LOVE TO VOLUNTEER.

I LOVE TO GET BACK. I LOVE I WANT TO LEAVE A LEGACY IN THIS COMMUNITY.

I THE WORDS SPOKEN ABOUT CHAD PATTON TONIGHT.

THAT'S WHAT IT'S ABOUT, RIGHT? IT'S ABOUT GIVING BACK TO YOUR COMMUNITY AND IN DOING DOING GREAT THINGS AND THAT PEOPLE WILL REMEMBER YOU BY THAT.

AND THAT'S TRULY MY LIFELONG GOAL.

I DO WANT TO THANK BRETT MARTIN.

HE'S IN THE AUDIENCE TONIGHT AND MY TEXAS XL TITLE TEAM AGAIN RUNNING A RUNNING A BUSINESS AND SERVING ON COUNCIL.

SOMETIMES YOU ARE SPLITTING TIME AND MY COLLEAGUES AND PEOPLE WHO WORK WITH ME ARE JUST UBER SUPPORTIVE.

AND IT'S IT'S BECAUSE OF PEOPLE LIKE THAT THAT I HAVE ON MY TEAM THAT I'M ABLE TO DO THIS.

SO, SO THANK YOU.

[3.A. Mayor's Report]

SO I KNOW IT FEELS LIKE WE'RE WE'RE VOTING EVERY OTHER WEEK, BUT YOU GUYS, PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO GO CAST SOME VOTES.

THERE ARE SOME IMPORTANT RUNOFF RACES.

SO WITH THAT, WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM 3B, THE CITY MANAGER'S REPORT, ITS MAYOR, MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL.

[3.B. City Manager's Report]

ONE IS NATIONAL POLICE WEEK.

THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WAS ESTABLISHED BY PRESIDENT KENNEDY REALLY BACK IN THE DAY.

AND IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO HIGHLIGHT AND HONOR THE PEOPLE WHO PUT THEMSELVES ON THE FRONT LINES.

WE'VE GOT SOME THINGS HAPPENING ON SOCIAL MEDIA TO RECOGNIZE OUR OUTSTANDING POLICE DEPARTMENT, BUT I WANTED TO BRING IT TO YOUR ATTENTION TO THE ATTENTION OF THE PUBLIC.

[01:10:05]

IT'S ALSO NATIONAL PUBLIC WORKS WEEK.

AND AS COUNCILMEMBER PATTON MENTIONED EARLIER, ROB COHEN AND HIS TEAM DO AMAZING THINGS, BUT VERY OFTEN THEY'RE VERY MUCH BEHIND THE SCENES. SO EVERY TIME WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO THANK THEM AND HONOR THEM FOR EVERYTHING THEY DO AND ARE WILLING TO DO, WE WOULD LIKE TO DO THAT.

AND AGAIN, PLACEK AND HER TEAM ARE MAKING SURE THAT OUR SOCIAL MEDIA SITES ARE HIGHLIGHTING SOME OF THE IMPORTANT WORK THAT THEY DO.

SO YOU MIGHT WANT TO CHECK THAT OUT.

SO, I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE WE SHOULD GIVE BOTH DEPARTMENTS A ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR EVERYTHING.

THANK YOU. THANKS TO CHIEF BRANDON AND MR. COHEN AND ALL YOUR STAFF'S INCREDIBLE WORK.

WE REALLY APPRECIATE YOU GUYS.

CARE TO SAY ANY WORDS? YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE GOOD.

ALL RIGHT. WELL, WE APPRECIATE YOU GUYS VERY MUCH.

I HOPE YOUR FOLKS HAVE A GREAT WEEK.

[CONSENT AGENDA]

OKAY. SO FOR THE AUDIT COMMITTEE, WE WILL IS THE MAYOR THE MAYOR PRO TEM AND THE DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM CORRECT? OK SOUTHLAKE PARKS DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION WHO IS ON SBDC RIGHT NOW.

WELL, COUNCILMAN TORRES-LEPP YOU HAVE ANY INTEREST? YOU WANT TO DO SOME MORE FREE VOLUNTEER WORK? IT'S A BARREL OF FUN. YOU'LL BE GLAD YOU DID.

OKAY. WELL, THERE'S NO OBJECTION.

WE'LL COUNCILWOMAN TORRES-LEPP WILL BE NOMINATED TO REPLACE COUNCIL MEMBER PATTON AND THE SOUTHLAKE 2035 CORRIDOR PLANNING COMMITTEE COUNCIL MEMBER MCCASKILL.

YOU WERE SERVING AS AN EX-OFFICIO OR A PUBLIC MEMBER, I BELIEVE.

DO YOU HAVE AN INTEREST IN STAYING ON? YES, PLEASE. OKAY, WONDERFUL.

IS THERE ANYBODY WHO'S NOT ON CORRIDOR THAT WANTS TO BE OFFICIALLY NOMINATED? OKAY, SO WE'LL KEEP EVERYTHING THE SAME AND THEN SCHEDULE OUR CHAT.

YOU JUST CHANGED TITLES ON THE COMMITTEE.

VERY GOOD. AND LET ME SAY, I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS KNOW HOW MUCH I APPRECIATE THE CORRIDOR COMMITTEE AND WHAT YOU GUYS DO FOR THE PUBLIC'S BENEFIT.

THE REASON WHY COUNCIL ISN'T UP HERE UNTIL 11 AND 12 DEALING WITH REALLY THORNY, TOUGH DEVELOPMENT CASES IS BECAUSE A LOT OF THOSE ARE TAKEN CARE OF WITH GOOD, STRONG, CANDID FEEDBACK AT THE CORRIDOR COMMITTEE.

SO WE'VE GOTTEN INCREDIBLE.

MARY. MARY HILL STARTED IT AND WE GOT INCREDIBLE FEEDBACK NOT ONLY FROM THE CITIZENS, BUT ALSO FROM THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY THAT THEY APPRECIATE WHAT THE CORRIDOR COMMITTEE DOES TO GIVE THEM A FIRST, YOU KNOW, FIRST SET OF FEEDBACK.

SO IT'S WORKING REALLY WELL AND WE APPRECIATE ALL OF YOUR YOUR WORK ON IT.

SO OK COUNCIL MEMBER WILLIAMSON, DO YOU HAVE WHAT YOU NEED FOR C? I DO. JUST TO BE SURE.

DIRECTOR TRIBBLE AND DIRECTOR BAKER.

WE JUST NEED TO APPOINT THE THE COUNCIL MEMBER BEING ADDED TO THE COMMITTEES.

WE DON'T NEED TO NAME OTHERS THAT ARE ALREADY ON.

CORRECT. OKAY, GREAT.

YEAH, WE'VE GOT WHAT WE NEED.

OKAY, PERFECT. WELL, IF THERE'S NO FURTHER DISCUSSION ON ANY OF THE CONSENT ITEMS, I WILL TAKE A MOTION.

OKAY. AND JUST AS A REMINDER, WE'LL BE MOVING ITEM 4E TO A SEPARATE VOTE.

SO WE'RE MOVING IT, REMOVING IT FROM CONSENT AND WE'LL BE ADDING ITEM 9A SO MAYOR AND COUNCIL, I'LL MOVE THAT WE APPROVE ITEMS 4A THROUGH G WITH THE REMOVAL OF 4E ON OUR CONSENT AGENDA THIS EVENING.

NOTING THE FOLLOWING WE'RE THE CLASS OF ITEM 4B.

WE'RE APPROVING RESOLUTION NUMBER 22-014 APPOINTING RANDY WILLIAMSON AS MAYOR PRO TEM AND SHAWN MCCASKILL AS DEPUTY MAYOR PRO TEM ITEM 4C APPROVING RESOLUTION NUMBER 2 2-015, APPOINTING CITY COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVES TO THE AUDIT COMMITTEE.

AND IN THIS CASE, WE'RE APPOINTING SHAWN MCCASKILL.

AND AS IT RELATES TO SOUTHLAKE PARKS DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, WE'LL BE ADDING COUNCIL MEMBER AMY TORRES-LEPP AS IT RELATES TO THE SOUTHLAKE 2035 CORRIDOR PLANNING COMMITTEE, WE'LL BE ADDING SHAWN MCCASKILL IN THE ROLE OF COUNCIL MEMBER AS OPPOSED TO HIS CURRENT ROLE AS EX-OFFICIO.

ALSO ADDING ITEM 9A, WHICH IS SV22-0005 SIGN BEARINGS FOR STARBUCKS. WE HAVE MOTION.

IS THERE A SECOND, SECOND VOTE? SHE GOT TO GET THAT LAST. HE'S PROBABLY PROBABLY BEST NOT TO VOTE ON THAT ONE.

ALL RIGHT. SO THAT PASSES SIX ZERO.

[01:15:02]

AND COUNCILMAN WILLIAMSON, YOU HAVE A MOTION ON 4E.

YES. MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

[4.E. Authorize the purchase of right-of-way and a temporary construction easement from JJJB Enterprises, Inc. for the Davis Boulevard (FM 1938) and W. Continental Boulevard intersection improvements in an amount not to exceed $457,540.]

YOU FIND THAT? APPROVE ITEM 4 NOTING THAT THIS IS APPROVED SUBJECT TO THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF TITLE COMMITMENT AND SURVEY RELATED TO THIS ITEM BY THE CITY'S ATTORNEY.

GOOD. KEN, THAT WORK.

CAN WE HAVE MOTION? IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND? WE HAVE A SECOND.

PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. AN ITEM FOR YOU.

PASS THE SEVEN ZERO. WITH THAT, WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER 5 ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA, WHICH IS THE PUBLIC FORUM.

SO THE PUBLIC FORUM PROVIDES AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PUBLIC TO BRING ITEMS FORWARD TO THE COUNCIL THAT ARE NOT INCLUDED ON THE REGULAR AGENDA.

IS THERE ANYONE HERE WHO WANTS TO BE RECOGNIZED TO SPEAK AS PART OF THE PUBLIC FORUM? OK SEEING NONE. WE'LL GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THE PUBLIC FORUM AND MOVE ON TO ITEM 6, WHICH IS RESOLUTION NUMBER 22-013 ZA 22-0021 SPECIFIC USE

[6.A. Resolution No. 22-013, ZA22-0021, Specific Use Permit for Two Accessory Buildings (Guard Houses) on Lot 1, Block 1, Solana Addition, City of Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas and located at 500 W. Dove Road, Southlake, Texas. Current Zoning: "NR-PUD" Non-Residential Planned Unit Development District. SPIN Neighborhood # 1. PUBLIC HEARING]

AND THIS IS ON THE VERIZON PROPERTY, CORRECT? YES. SO, DIRECTOR BAKER, WE'VE SEEN THIS A COUPLE OF TIMES PREVIOUSLY, BUT BECAUSE THIS SUP ONLY RUNS FOR SIX MONTHS.

YES, SIR. THAT'S CORRECT.

IF WORK DOES NOT COMMENCE WITHIN SIX MONTHS AFTER THE SUP BEING APPROVED BY CITY COUNCIL, THEN IT AUTOMATICALLY EXPIRES.

SO YOU HAVE APPROVED THIS SAME APPLICATION TWO TIMES PREVIOUSLY AND SPEAKING WITH THE APPLICANT, THEY UNDERSTAND THAT THEY NEED TO COMMENCE WORK, PULL THE PERMITS, COMMENCE WORK.

BY THE WAY, THERE'S NO CHANGES.

NO CHANGES TO THE APPLICATION.

OKAY, WELL, I DON'T EVEN THINK WE NEED A PRESENTATION.

I MEAN, UNLESS THE COUNCIL HAS ANY QUESTIONS OF DIRECTOR BAKER.

NO. OKAY.

THANK YOU, SIR. NOT TO CUT YOU OFF, BUT THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. COUNCILMAN WILLIAMSON, IS THERE A MOTION AS PUBLIC HEARING? OH, IT IS A PUBLIC HEARING.

SORRY, THIS ITEM IS A PUBLIC HEARING.

SO WE'LL GO AHEAD AND OPEN THAT PUBLIC HEARING.

IF THERE'S ANYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK ON ITEM SIX EIGHT SEEING, THEN WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND I'LL TAKE A MOTION.

MS.. MARY COUNCIL. I'LL MOVE THAT WE APPROVE ITEM SIX.

AYE. OTHERWISE REFERRED TO IS RESOLUTION NUMBER 22-013 ZA 22-0021 SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR TWO ACCESSORY BUILDINGS WHICH ARE GUARD HOUSES, LOT ONE BLOCK ONE SALON IN ADDITION, CITY OF SOUTHLAKE TARRANT COUNTY, TEXAS, AND LOCATED AT 500 WEST OF SOUTHLAKE, TEXAS.

CURRENT ZONING IS IN OUR PUD NONRESIDENTIAL PLAN UNIT DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT AND SPEND NEIGHBORHOOD ONE.

THE SUBJECT TO THE STAFF REPORT DATED MAY 1ST 2022 AND THE SPECIFIC USE PERMIT REVIEW SUMMARY NUMBER ONE DATED APRIL 29TH, 2022 AND NOTING THAT WE'RE APPROVING A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR TWO ACCESSORY STRUCTURES WHICH ARE GUARD HOUSES ON THE VERIZON CAMPUS AS PRESENTED.

WE HAVE A MOTION AS THERE. A SECOND SECOND.

WE HAVE A SECOND. PLEASE CATCH YOUR VOTE.

ALL RIGHT. THAT ITEM IS APPROVED.

SEVEN ZERO. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

ABSOLUTELY. OKAY.

WELL, WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER 6B, WHICH IS ORDNANCE NUMBER 480-792 ZA 22-0011 SECOND READING ZONING CHANGE AND CONCEPT PLAN FOR RAINEY COURT, WHICH

[6.B. Ordinance No. 480-792, (ZA22-0011), 2nd Reading, Zoning Change and Concept Plan for Rainey Court, being Tract 15, R.D. Price Survey, Abstract No. 992A, located at 4078 N. White Chapel Blvd., Southlake, Denton County, Texas. Current Zoning: "AG" Agricultural District. Proposed Zoning: "SF-1A" Single Family District. SPIN Neighborhood #1. PUBLIC HEARING]

DIRECTOR BAKER MAYOR MEMBERS, THE COUNCIL.

THIS IS A REQUEST FOR HIS OWN CHANGE IN CONCEPT PLAN CHANGING THE ZONING FROM AG TO SF ONE A TO ALLOW FOR FOUR SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL LOTS AT THE CORNER OF WHITE CHAPEL AND WEST BOB JONES, THE FOUR LOTS ARE OUTLINED IN THE BLUE.

THE LAND USE IS LOW DENSITY, ALL LOTS EXCEED ONE ACRE IN SIZE OR AND ARE IN CONFORMANCE WITH THE LAND USE PLAN.

THIS JUST SHOWS THE AREA AGAIN OUTLINED WITH THE CURRENT ZONING AG AND THAT THAT IS A REQUEST TO REZONE THE SF 1A TO ALLOW DEVELOPMENT OF THE FOUR LOTS AND HOMES.

THIS IS THE CONCEPT PLAN HAS MENTIONED ALL THE LOTS MEET OR EXCEED THE ONE ACRE MINIMUM REQUIREMENT.

IT WILL BE SERVED BY A CUL DE SAC WHICH WILL BE PUBLIC STREET AND ACCESS ONTO THE CUL DE SAC FROM THE FOUR LOTS.

DRAINAGE WILL OCCUR TO THE EAST.

CURRENTLY SHEET FLOWS BUT THERE'S AN INLET PICK UP THE STORM AND MOVE IT TO THE RURAL DITCH ALONG WHITE CHAPEL BOULEVARD THAT SHOWS THE PRELIMINARY DRAINAGE PLAN AND THE CURRENT FLOW THAT EXIST.

THIS IS A UTILITY PLAN WHERE THERE'LL BE AN OPEN CURB CUT AND LET THERE ALSO BE A CHANNEL SLOPE THAT WILL HELP MOVE THE WATER TO WHITE CHAPEL, THE PROPOSED TREE CONSERVATION ANALYSIS.

THEY WILL BE MEETING ALL THE TREE REQUIREMENTS AND A SITE DATA SUMMARY CHART.

JUST A COUPLE OF PHOTOS.

AND WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY OPPOSITION ON THIS ZONING CASE.

BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

P AND Z RECOMMENDED APPROVAL, WHICH WE NOTED AT YOUR FIRST READING.

[01:20:02]

OK IT'S HARD TO GET AN APPLICANT PRESENTATION IF THE APPLICANT'S IN HERE.

SO YOU CAN MOVE TO PROVE IT OR YOU CAN TABLE IT.

WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

YOU KNOW, HONESTLY, IT'S TOUGH FOR ME TO VOTE TO APPROVE SOMETHING IF THE APPLICANT IS NOT GOING TO TAKE THE TIME TO COME TALK TO US ABOUT IT.

WELL, ONE THING, JUST KEEP IN MIND, IT WAS APPROVED SEVEN OH AT FIRST READING.

SO I BELIEVE IT WAS ON CONSENT, WASN'T IT.

PUT ON CONSENT. OKAY.

YEAH, YEAH.

LISTEN, I'M NOT BOTHERED BY THE APPLICATION AT ALL.

I'M BOTHERED BY IT.

AND I WANT TO HEAR FROM THE, YOU KNOW, THE FACT THAT WE WERE MISSING AN APPLICANT.

IF THEY CARE ABOUT THE APPLICATION, MAYBE SHOW UP.

I'M INCLINED TO TAKE A MOTION TO TABLE, BUT IF YOU GUYS WANT TO BE NICE, THAT'S FINE, TOO.

FOLLOW YOUR LEAD. OKAY.

OKAY. WELL, WE'LL JUST WE'LL JUST VOTE BASED ON THE MOTION.

MARY CASALE MOVED TO TABLE ITEM 6B ORDINANCE NUMBER 480-792 ZA 22-0011 SECOND READING ZONING CHANGE AND IF PASSED, WILL TAKE IT UP AT THE FIRST MEETING OF JUNE.

OKAY, THERE'S A MOTION TO TABLE. IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE.

OK. MOTION TABLE PASSES SEVEN ZERO.

IF YOU DON'T MIND JUST COMMUNICATING WITH THE APPLICANT AND WE'D LOVE TO SEE THEIR SMILING FACE AND TALK TO US A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT WHAT THEY'VE GOT PLANNED FOR THAT CORNER.

SOUNDS GOOD. THANK YOU. OKAY.

MOVING ON. THAT DID NOT NEED TO HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING SINCE WE TABLED IT.

CORRECT? IT WAS TABLED, RIGHT? YEAH. TABLE. WE'RE GOOD. YEAH, YOU CAN.

AND YOU CAN EXTEND THE PUBLIC HEARING TO PERFECT.

SO WITH THAT, WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER 7A ORDINANCE NUMBER 480-793 ZA 22-0010 FIRST READING ZONING CHANGE IN SITE PLAN FOR CARNATION AUTO

[7.A. Ordinance No. 480-793 (ZA22-0010), 1st Reading, Zoning Change and Site Plan for Carnation Auto Spa (currently Krystal Clean Car Wash) on property described as Lot 2, T. J. Thompson No. 1502 Addition, City of Southlake, Tarrant County, Texas, and located at 955 Davis Blvd., Southlake, Texas. Current Zoning: "C-3" General Commercial District. Requested Zoning: "S-P-1" Detailed Site Plan District. SPIN Neighborhood #10.]

THIS IS A FIRST READING AND ZONING CHANGE AND SITE PLAN FOR CARNATION AUTO SPA.

THIS IS THE EXISTING CAR WASH ON DAVIS BOULEVARD.

THE REASON THAT IT'S GOING THROUGH THE ZONING PROCESS IS THAT IN 1996 THE APPLICANT CAME FORWARD AND WAS APPROVED AND SUP ON C3 ZONING AND WAS APPROVED SITE PLAN.

THE MODEL THAT IS BEING PROPOSED IS TO GO TO A FULL SERVICE AND A HYBRID KIND OF SELF SERVICE CAR WASH LOCATED ON TWO ACRES WHICH NECESSITATES GOING THROUGH THE ZONING PROCESS TO ALLOW THE USE AS PROPOSED.

THE LOCATION IS 955 DAVIS BOULEVARD.

THE LAND USE IS INDUSTRIAL AND IT HAS CURRENTLY C3 ZONING ON THE PROPERTY.

THIS IS AN AERIAL VIEW OF THE EXISTING FACILITY.

KRYSTAL CAR CLEAN CAR WASH AND I THINK MOST COUNCIL IS FAMILIAR WITH THE LOCATION AND THE CURRENT OPERATIONS.

THIS IS THE APPROVED SITE PLAN AND THERE WAS AN SUP IN 1995.

THE THERE WAS ALSO A MODIFICATION THE SITE PLAN BACK IN 2001 WHERE A CANOPY IS APPROVED ON THE DETAILING AREA ON THE SOUTH PORTION OF THE PROPERTY.

THIS IS THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN THAT'S BEEN CONSIDERED.

THIS WAS WHAT WAS PRESENTED AT P&Z BACK IN MAY.

THERE'S BEEN A FEW CHANGES PER THE P&Z'S RECOMMENDATIONS, WHICH I'LL GO OVER.

ON THE TOP IS THE EXISTING SITE PLAN AND THE OPERATIONS AND THE PROPOSED SITE PLANS.

THIS IS THE PRESENTED AT THE P&Z.

SO THE THE EXISTING SITE PLAN, IF YOU COME IN, YOU HAVE THE CANOPY AND POINT OF SELL THAT IS THAT CANOPY IS PROPOSED TO BE REMOVED.

AND AT THE P AND THEY'RE SHOWING TWO CANOPIES MOVED FURTHER TO THE NORTH AND TO THE EAST.

AT THE PLANNING ZONING COMMISSION, THEY SHOWED 18 SELF SERVICE VACUUM CANOPIES AT THE EASTERN PORTION OF THE PROPERTY, AS YOU'LL SEE IN THE UPDATED SITE PLAN.

THOSE HAVE BEEN MOVED TO THE NORTHEAST CORNER, AWAY FROM THE RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY.

THE CANOPIES WHERE THE DETAILING TAKES PLACE WILL REMAIN.

THEY WILL BE CHANGING THE CANOPIES OUT TO NAVY BLUE COLOR.

THEY'RE KIND OF A GREENISH COLOR.

NOW THERE'LL BE SOME NEW EMPLOYEE PARKING ON THE NORTH SIDE.

[01:25:02]

THE THE APPLICANT DID MEET WITH THE NEIGHBOR TO THE TO THE SOUTH.

AND THERE HAVE BEEN SOME DISCUSSIONS WHICH I'LL COVER WHAT'S BEEN CONVEYED TO STAFF AND THE APPLICANTS HERE.

AND I BELIEVE THE NEIGHBOR IS HERE ALSO THIS EVENING AND THEY CAN CONFIRM THE CONVERSATIONS.

BUT THE THE MOVEMENT IS TO MOVE THE CANOPIES TO THE TO THE NORTHEAST.

THERE WAS SOME LATE INFORMATION THAT THE STAFF REPORT WENT OUT AT 15, BUT THERE ARE 17 PROPOSED VACUUM CANOPIES ON THIS NORTHEAST CORNER.

ANOTHER MAJOR, MAJOR MODIFICATION IS THAT THERE'LL BE A LANE DEDICATED TO THE SELF SERVICE PART OF THE CAR WASH.

AND THEN IF YOU WANT THE FULL SERVICE, THEY'LL STILL BE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT.

THIS SUMMARIZES SOME OF SOME OF THE CHANGES.

SO IT WILL BE THE NEW VACUUM AREA WILL HAVE 17 SELF SERVICE VACUUMS. THE VACUUM UNIT WILL BE ENCLOSED WITH A MASONRY WALL WITH METAL DOORS. THERE'LL BE EMPLOYEE PARKING TO THE NORTH, A NEW TRASH ENCLOSURE WHERE THE 18 VACUUMS WERE INITIALLY PROPOSED. THOSE HAVE BEEN MOVED AWAY FROM THE RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY TO THE NORTHEAST CORNER.

THEY'LL BE CHANGING THE CANOPY COLOR TO A MORE NAVY BLUE FROM AWAY FROM THIS LIGHT GREEN TYPE OF COLOR IN CONVERSATIONS WITH THE NEIGHBOR.

THE APPLICANT HAS INDICATED THAT THERE'S AN UNDERSTANDING THAT THEY PROVIDE A STONE OR MASONRY TYPE WALL ALONG THE PROPERTY LINE TO HELP REDUCE THAT TO MITIGATE THAT THAT NOISE IMPACT ON THE RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY TO THE SOUTH.

THERE WAS ALSO A DISCUSSION ON SOME OF THE RUNOFF OR DRAINAGE FROM THE SITE, AND THEY'RE LOOKING AT IMPROVING THAT SITUATION OF THE WATER THAT DRAINS BACK TO THE SOUTH.

ALSO AT THE PLANNING ZONING COMMISSION, THERE IS DISCUSSIONS TO MAKE SURE THAT ONCE THE VACUUMS ARE NEW, VACUUMS ARE IN THESE THESE NEW VACUUMS WILL BE MORE ENERGY EFFICIENT, QUIETER IN NATURE.

BUT THE P&Z WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY WERE MEETING ALL NOISE REQUIREMENTS.

SO IF YOU RECALL, WHEN WE DID THE GENERATORS AT THE CENTRAL MARKET, ONE OF THE STIPULATIONS WAS THAT EITHER AN ACOUSTIC ENGINEER OR A NOISE PROFESSIONAL WOULD COME OUT, WOULD PROVIDE A LETTER, GO OUT AND TEST ALL THE VACUUM UNITS RUNNING AT 100%, AND TAKE THOSE RATINGS AND VERIFY THROUGH A LETTER THAT ALL THE NOISE REQUIREMENTS ARE BEING MET.

THIS SHOWS THE ADJACENT RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY AND THE DISTANCE.

THESE ARE PRIMA FASCIA, MAXIMUM NOISE LEVELS.

AND SO THEY'LL HAVE TO MEET IT NOT ONLY AT THE RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY LINE, BUT THEY'RE ALSO BUSINESSES AROUND THAT OPERATION.

SO THEY'LL HAVE TO MEET THE.

THE DBS AS SHOWN IN YOUR NOISE ORDINANCE.

AND SO P&Z'S RECOMMENDATION IS THAT THAT BE PROVED UP BY BY A PROFESSIONAL BEFORE THE FINAL CEO OR THAT THE PROJECT IS FINAL.

THIS IS THE PROPOSED TREES CONSERVATION PLAN, AND THERE'S ALSO A BUFFER PLAN.

IF THIS DOES MOVE FORWARD AND COUNCIL AGREES OR WANTS TO HAVE A STONEWALL OR MASONRY WALL, WE WOULD ASK AT THE SECOND READING THAT THE APPLICANT PROVIDE AN ELEVATION SHOWING THE LOCATION, THE HEIGHT AND THE MATERIALS TO BE USED AND THAT BE PRESENTED TO COUNCIL.

IF THIS DOES MOVE FORWARD ON FIRST READING PROPOSED LANDSCAPE PLAN AND THIS SHOWS A REVISED LANDSCAPE PLAN AND THIS SHOWS THE 17 PARKING SPACES TO THE NORTH WITH SOME ADDITIONAL TREE PLANTINGS.

THERE'S ALSO A STACKING EXHIBIT THAT SHOWS THAT WITH THE INCREASED VACUUMS THAT THERE WILL NOT CREATE A QUEUING ISSUE OFF OF OF 1938 DAVIS BOULEVARD.

AND WITH THE DUAL LANES AND MOVING THE VACUUMS TO THE BACK, THAT'S CREATED EVEN MORE STACKING OR MORE QUEUING ROOM THAN WAS PREVIOUSLY PROPOSED IN THE STUDY.

VERIFIED THAT THEY COULD HANDLE WITH THE INITIAL LOCATIONS VACUUMS AND WITH THE LOCATION MOVING TO THE NORTH AND THE EAST THAT WILL PROVIDE EVEN ADDITIONAL

[01:30:05]

THERE ARE SOME SP1 ONE REGULATIONS THAT ARE BEING PROPOSED WITH THIS THAT THE BUFFER YARDS REMAIN IN THEIR CURRENT CONFIGURATION, THAT THE CANOPY COLUMNS IN FRONT OF THE BUILDING REMAIN UNCLOUDED, THAT THE METAL COLUMNS REMAIN AS TODAY. AS MENTIONED, THEY WILL BE CHANGING THE CANOPY COLOR TO NAVY BLUE AND THEY HAVE WRITTEN THAT IN THEIR UPDATED SP ONE REGULATIONS.

THIS IS JUST A COUPLE OF PHOTOS.

THE CANOPY COLORS SHOWN ON THE FABRIC SAMPLE ON THE UPPER RIGHT HAND.

PART OF THE SLIDE WILL MENTION THAT ANY SIGNAGE WOULD NEED TO GO THROUGH YOUR SIGNBOARD AND EVENTUALLY COUNCIL IF IT DOESN'T MEET THE SIGN ORDINANCE REQUIREMENTS AND ANY FAÇADE CHANGES IN TERMS OF PAINTS COLORS WILL NEED TO MEET THE CITY'S ORDINANCE STANDARDS.

AND SO THIS THIS ACTION DOESN'T IMPROVE ANY SIGNS OR ANY FAÇADE CHANGES OUTSIDE OF WHAT'S PERMITTED IN THE ZONING ORDINANCE.

A COUPLE MORE PHOTOS.

THIS IS THE PROPERTY LINE THAT'S UNDER QUESTION.

THERE IS A A WOOD FENCE THAT CURRENTLY EXISTS ALONG THAT PROPERTY LINE.

YOU CAN SEE IT FROM LOOKING FROM THE PROPERTIES THAT ARE TO THE NORTHEAST, LOOKING BACK ONTO THE SITE.

A COUPLE OTHER PICTURES.

THE ONE RESPONSE WAS RECEIVED THIS PROPERTY OWNER AT 2300 CONTINENTAL.

THIS IS THE PLANNING ZONING COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATION.

IN ADDITION TO THE NOISE TESTS, THE P&Z FELT THAT THEY NEED TO ADHERE TO THE HOURS SHOWN IN THE APPLICATION, WHICH ARE 8 A.M.

TO 8 P.M.

MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY AND 8 A.M.

TO 7:00 PM ON SUNDAYS.

AND THERE WAS SOME DISCUSSION IF WE GO FROM DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME TO STANDARD TIME AND BUT IF YOU DO TIE THE ZONING TO TIMES, I WOULD JUST INDICATE THAT IF WE STAY ON STANDARD TIME AS A COUNTRY, THAT THOSE INITIAL TIMES FROM 8 A.M.

TO 8 P.M. AND A 8 A.M.

TO 7 P.M. JUST BE STANDARD THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.

AS MENTIONED, THEY WANTED TO RECOMMEND THE DECIBEL TEST CERTIFICATION PRIOR TO FINALS BEING ISSUED AND WE'RE GIVEN A COUPLE FABRIC SAMPLES AND FELT THE NAVY BLUE WAS THE THE BEST.

THEY DID ALSO ASK THE APPLICANT TO MEET WITH THE NEIGHBOR AND MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THOSE MEETINGS HAVE TAKEN PLACE AND THE APPLICANT CAN REPORT ON THOSE OUTCOMES.

PERFECT ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS AND QUESTIONS FOR DIRECTOR BAKER.

I DO HAVE ONE.

OBVIOUSLY, ON THIS APPLICATION.

PROBABLY THE MOST SENSITIVE ISSUE IS THE VACUUMS BEING SELF SERVE 17 OF THOSE.

THE THE I AGREE WITH THE REQUIREMENT ON THE NOISE ORDINANCE TO BEFORE FINAL APPROVAL, BUT IT SEEMS A LITTLE NEBULOUS AS TO WHAT IS THE EXACT TEST. IS IT IS IT THAT ALL 17 VACUUMS ARE RUNNING AND THE CAR WASHES OR EVERYTHING'S RUNNING AND THAT'S THE TEST? OR IS IT? WE SAY IT'S REASONABLE TO THINK THAT 12 OUT OF 17 MIGHT BE RUNNING.

AND I JUST WANT TO BE REAL CLEAR AS TO WHAT'S THE STANDARD THEY HAVE TO PASS.

AND THEN ALSO, ARE WE APPROVING IT IN THE EVENT IT DOESN'T PASS A 17 BUT IT PASSES AT 14? IS THAT PART OF THE APPROVAL THAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE GOOD UP TO THE AMOUNT YOU CAN PASS TO? SO YEAH, WE WOULD TEST FOR WORST CASE SCENARIO OPERATIONS.

SO THAT WOULD BE SEVEN PLUS CAR WASH.

YEAH. THE SELF SERVICE, MY UNDERSTANDING AND IT'S A ONE CENTRAL UNIT, SO THERE'S HOSES THAT EXTEND OFF THAT CENTRAL VACUUM.

SO THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO CRANK THAT UP TO FULL UP.

SO AND YOU KNOW, YOU'VE GOT THE CAR WASH THAT'S OPERATING AND THEN THERE ARE SOME VACUUMS IN THE DETAIL AREA.

AND SO WE WOULD ASK WE THE EXPECTATION THOSE BE TURNED ON RUNNING AT FULL CAPACITY AND THEN THE THE RATING WOULD BE TAKEN AT THE PROPERTY LINES.

AND IF THEY MEET THEM OUTSTANDING, GREAT.

IF THEY DON'T, THEN LIKE ANY GENERATOR OR ANYTHING THAT CREATES NOISE, THERE ARE WAYS TO MITIGATE THOSE SOUNDS TO MUFFLERS WALLS, SOUND ABSORPTION, AND THEY'LL HAVE TO LOOK AT THOSE OPTIONS TO IF THEY DON'T MEET THE TEST.

[01:35:03]

SO ANYTHING THAT CHANGES THE THE ACTUAL APPLICATION MIGHT HAVE TO COME BACK IF IT'S STRUCTURAL.

BUT IS IT IMPLICIT IN THE APPROVAL THAT IF THEY STICK WITH WHAT'S APPROVED BUT THEY HAVE TO DO FEWER UNITS TO GET TO THE SOUND LIMIT THAT'S IMPLIED THAT THAT'S OKAY.

YES, SIR. YEAH.

WE NEVER HAVE ANY PROBLEM GOING LESS THAN THE MAXIMUM FRAME.

SO, I MEAN, IF THEY DO HAVE TO GO TO A SMALLER UNIT WHICH RESULTS IN FEWER SELF SERVICE, THAT THAT WOULDN'T NECESSITATE COMING BACK THROUGH THE PROCESS.

THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR KEN? THANK YOU, SIR. THANK YOU.

IS THAT WE CAN HEAR? ALL RIGHT.

COME ON DOWN. IF YOU COULD JUST STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD AND THEN HAPPY TO HEAR YOUR PRESENTATION AND TELL US MORE ABOUT THE BUSINESS. HOW DO WE GET THERE? THAT'S GOING TO COME UP. OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. GOOD EVENING, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.

MEMBER OF THE CITY COUNCIL. MR. MAYOR, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME THIS EVENING.

MY NAME IS DREW SHEPPARD.

MY ADDRESS IS 3030 ELIZABETH STREET.

NUMBER 625.

DALLAS, TEXAS, 75204.

I'M AN OPERATING PARTNER WITH IRON SKILLET PARTNERS SEEKING TO ACQUIRE THE SITE AT 955.

DAVIS AND I AM THE CEO OF CARNATION OUT AS WELL.

I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THAT THIS IS PART OF THIS IS ONE OF OUR EXISTING SITES AND WHAT WE TYPICALLY DO AS FAR AS A REBRANDING AND REMODELING, WE UNDERSTAND THAT SOME OF THIS MAY NOT MATCH THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKES REQUIREMENTS, BUT AS GOOD STEWARDS, WE WOULD ABSOLUTELY MATCH EVERY ONE OF YOUR CITY'S REQUIREMENTS AS FAR AS SIGNAGE, FAÇADE, MATERIALS.

THAT'S IMPORTANT TO US AS PART OF BEING ABLE TO TAKE OVER THIS TAKE OVER THIS LOCATION.

CARNATION AUTO SPA IS A DFW BASED CORPORATION THAT FOUNDED BY THREE PARTNERS AT ION SCHOOL.

PARTNERS, WE WERE ALL DFW.

WE ARE LOCAL.

WE ARE SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS THAT HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO GROW OUR BUSINESS AND SEEKING TO ACQUIRE THIS SITE TO ROLL INTO OUR BUSINESS.

AS PART OF AS PART OF THE ACQUISITION, WE PLAN TO INVEST MORE THAN $1,000,000 IN THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE PROPERTY.

MOST OF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE SITE.

YOU'VE SEEN THE CONDITION THAT IT'S IN.

YOU SAW A PICTURE OF WHAT OUR SITE LOOKS LIKE OF ONE OF OUR SITES WILL LOOK LIKE WE INVEST A LOT OF MONEY INTO IMPROVING NOT ONLY INSIDE THE TUNNEL, BUT THE FAÇADE.

WE WANT TO MAKE THE EXPERIENCE, THE BEST POSSIBLE EXPERIENCE FOR OUR CUSTOMERS.

ONE OF THE ISSUES THAT WAS BROUGHT UP IN PLANNING AND ZONING WAS AN UNDERSTANDING THAT WE ARE A FULL SERVICE CAR WASH THAT OFFERS SELF SERVICE VACUUMS. THE SELF SERVICE VACUUMS ARE A PART OF THE CHANGING MINDSET OF THE CONSUMER, AND SO WE WANT TO PROVIDE THAT FOR THEM.

BUT AS YOU CAN SEE, THIS IS DIRECTLY PULLED FROM OUR WEBSITE.

WE WE DO OFFER THREE FULL SERVICE MENU ITEMS. WE HAVE A FULL DETAIL MENU AS WELL.

BUT FOR THE SAKE OF THE SIZE OF THE PRESENTATION, WE JUST WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THE FACT THAT WE DO OFFER WE ARE A FULL SERVICE CAR WASH WITH EXTERIOR WITH EXPRESS EXTERIOR VACUUMS. A LOT OF THIS WAS BROUGHT UP BY THE COUNCIL PRESENTATION.

A COUPLE OF THINGS I'D LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT THAT I THINK THERE'S STILL A LITTLE BIT OF CONFUSION ON THE EXIT.

CANOPIES ARE ACTUALLY SET.

WE WOULD ACTUALLY REMOVE THOSE.

THIS IS WHERE SO THE WAY THE CURRENT OPERATIONS ARE, IF YOU'RE WHEN YOU WHEN YOU PULL IN TO PAY, ALL OF THE VACUUMING IS DONE UNDER THE FULL SERVICE ON UNDER THE PAY AWNING WHERE YOU TAKE YOUR TICKET, YOU GO IN AND YOU PAY.

THEY VACUUM AT THE POINT WHERE YOU PULL IN HERE.

THIS IS WHAT'S CAUSING STACKING ISSUES CURRENTLY IS A QUEUE BACKS UP HERE INTO THE EASEMENT.

THERE IS ALSO VEHICLES EXITING THE TUNNEL WHERE WITHIN THE INDUSTRY IT'S CALLED FINAL TOUCHES.

THAT'S WHERE THEY WIPE DOWN THE DASH.

THEY DRY OFF YOUR CAR, THEY PUT THE TIRES SHINE ON YOUR CAR.

ALL OF THAT IS GOING TO BE MOVED TO THE VACUUM'S BAYS IN THE BACK, INCLUDING THE FULL SERVICE.

SO HOW OUR BUSINESS MODEL IS IS DIFFERENT IS THE CUSTOMER DRIVES THROUGH THE TUNNEL THEMSELVES.

IT'S A IT'S A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE.

THERE'S A FULL LIGHT SHOW IN THE TUNNEL.

IT'S A IT'S A GREAT KIDS LOVE IT.

IT'S A GREAT WAY TO ENTERTAIN YOUR KID DRIVING THROUGH THE CARWASH TUNNEL, THEY WOULD PULL INTO THE VACUUM BAYS IN THE BACK.

[01:40:03]

THE TOP ROW WOULD BE THE SELF SERVICE VACUUM BAYS.

SO ALL WORK, ALL VACUUMING WORK IS DONE THERE.

THERE'S NOT AN ADDITIONAL SET OF VACUUMS NEAR DAVIS BOULEVARD, NEAR THE TUNNEL EXIT.

EVERYTHING IS PUSHED BACK TO THAT NORTHEAST CORNER.

AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, THIS IS A MEETING WITH MISS STEPHANIE ELAM.

SHE'S THE NEIGHBOR AT 2300 CONTINENTAL.

WE MET WITH MS. ELAM, WHO WAS IN OPPOSITION OF THE PROJECT INITIALLY.

WE HAVE WE EXECUTED ON A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING THAT WITH THE EXPECTATION THAT WE WOULD BUILD A THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE HEIGHT BY THE CITY OF SOUTH LAKE, A WALL ALONG THE SOUTH END OF THE PROPERTY.

THAT WOULD HELP NOISE REDUCTION ANY ADDITIONAL FOLIAGE THAT'S REQUIRED BY THE CITY AS WELL IN ORDER TO MEET THAT.

AFTER MEETING WITH HER, THE OTHER ISSUE THAT WAS BROUGHT UP WAS MAKING SURE THAT ANY EXCESS WATER DOES NOT DRAIN TO HER PROPERTY.

WE AGREED THAT WE WOULD MAKE SURE THAT BOTH OF THOSE ISSUES ARE ALLEVIATED FOR HER, AND WE WANTED TO PROVIDE AT LEAST THE EXECUTION PORTION OF THIS. WE'RE HAPPY TO PROVIDE THE ENTIRE DOCUMENT STATING THAT SHE IS IN SUPPORT.

SHE IS HERE THIS EVENING AND IS WILLING TO PROVIDE VOCAL SUPPORT AND ANY ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FROM HER THAT YOU WOULD NEED TO REMOVE THE OPPOSITION. THIS JUST SHOWS YOU WHERE WE'RE ARE.

WHAT WE WANTED TO PROVIDE HERE WAS JUST SOME SOME ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE OF WHAT WE'VE DONE.

WE'RE NOT ACOUSTIC ENGINEERS, BUT I DID TAKE SURVEYS AT SOME OF OUR OTHER SITES THAT HAVE NEWER EQUIPMENT.

WE TOOK A SAMPLE, A DECIBEL READING SAMPLE FROM 20 FEET AWAY AT A COUPLE OF OUR SITES THAT HAVE NEWER EQUIPMENT.

YOU CAN SEE WHERE THAT IS.

OBVIOUSLY FROM WHERE THE PRODUCER IS TO HER PROPERTY LINE IS IN EXCESS OF 150 FEET.

SO FROM THAT STANDPOINT, WE DON'T EXPECT TO BE RUNNING IN ANTI DECIBEL ISSUES, ESPECIALLY WITH THE WALL AND ANY KIND OF FOLIAGE CONSTRUCTION THAT IS DONE. THIS GIVES YOU AN INDICATION OF KIND OF WHAT A NEW PRODUCER THAT'S ENCLOSED PROVIDES AS FAR AS DECIBEL LEVEL.

IT'S TYPICALLY 68 DECIBELS.

HOUSEHOLD ITEMS THAT ARE IN EXCESS OF THAT, AS IT WAS STATED IN THE PRESENTATION BEFORE US, THAT IT WILL BE FULLY ENCLOSED.

THERE WILL BE A METAL DOOR, IT WILL BE VENTILATED, BUT IT WILL BE A 360 DEGREE COVER WITH A ROOF ON IT.

I BELIEVE I WENT OVER MOST OF THIS JUST HOW THE PROCESS IS DONE DIFFERENTLY IN THAT AS IT WAS MENTIONED, THE WHERE YOU WILL PAY IS FURTHER NORTH AND FURTHER EAST ONTO THE PROPERTY.

AND WITH THE ELIMINATION OF THE CANOPIES AT THE TUNNEL EXIT, WE'LL BE ABLE TO MOVE VEHICLES ON THE PROPERTY MUCH MORE EFFICIENTLY AND THERE WILL NO LONGER BE A STACKING ISSUE ON THE PROPERTY. ONE OF THE THINGS WE WANT TO HIGHLIGHT HERE IS JUST ONE OF THE REASONS THAT SEPARATES CARNATION FROM ANY OTHER OPERATOR IS WE WE ARE BIG BELIEVERS IN COMMUNITIES SIMILAR TO SOUTHLAKE.

WE WANT TO PROVIDE THE BEST POSSIBLE CAR WASHING EXPERIENCE YOU CAN HAVE.

WE FOCUS ON AREAS THAT HAVE SIMILAR DEMOGRAPHICS, SIMILAR HOUSEHOLD INCOME.

AND IT'S A BIG PART OF OUR BRAND.

AND WE KNOW WHAT IT TAKES TO MAKE THE CUSTOMERS AND THE RESIDENTS IN THOSE COMMUNITIES HAPPY.

AND THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE HERE.

IT'S BEEN BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION THAT MANY OF THE RESIDENTS NO LONGER GO TO THIS SITE.

THEY GO TO NEIGHBORING COMMUNITIES TO GET THEIR CARS WASHED.

AND THAT'S DISAPPOINTING TO HEAR.

WE WANT WE WANT THEM TO STAY IN SOUTH.

WE WANT THEM TO WASH THEIR CAR IN SOUTHLAKE.

WE WANT TO IMPROVE THIS PROPERTY AND MAKE IT A DESTINATION AGAIN FOR THE RESIDENTS.

THIS IS A SITE, OUR WOMEN AVENUE SITE, THAT MANY OF THE RESIDENTS OF HIGHLAND PARK VISIT.

THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF SOME OF OUR SELF-SERVICE VACUUM BAYS.

OBVIOUSLY, YOU SEE KIND OF THE THE ROYAL BLUE CANOPY.

WE'VE AGREED TO GO TO NAVY FOR THIS SITE.

BUT JUST WANT TO GIVE YOU AN INDICATION OF THESE ARE OUR TYPICAL CUSTOMERS.

THESE ARE PEOPLE VACUUMING THEIR OWN CARS HERE.

THESE ARE NOT FULL SERVICE CUSTOMERS.

BUT TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA THAT PEOPLE HAVE OF SIMILAR HOUSEHOLD INCOME, COMMUNITIES DO VACUUM THEIR OWN CAR.

IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR US TO HIGHLIGHT THIS BECAUSE THAT WAS A CONCERN EARLY ON.

[01:45:06]

WE'RE CURRENTLY THIS ROYAL BLUE.

WITH THAT BEING SAID, I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? ON THE RARE OCCASION THAT I DO WASH MY TRUCK INSIDE OF THE 5000 MILES BETWEEN SERVICE, THIS IS THE LOCATION I'VE ALWAYS USED, SO I'M A LITTLE THROWN OFF.

SO WHEN YOU WHEN YOU COME IN THE INTAKE, WHICH IS WHERE THEY THE YOU SHOWED IT A SECOND AGO.

SO YES, RIGHT THERE, THE INTAKE WHERE YOU SAID THAT IS RIGHT.

SO THAT GOES AWAY, RIGHT? SO RIGHT NOW, THIS IS THE AWNING WHERE YOU GO AND YOU TAKE YOUR ORDER.

HERE WE WILL HAVE FIXED AWNINGS.

BUT THEY ARE THEY'LL BE MEN PAY STATIONS SIMILAR TO THE GREETER THAT YOU FACE NOW.

BUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN RIGHT NOW IS WHEN AFTER YOU TAKE YOUR ORDER, YOU GO IN TO MAKE A PAYMENT FOR YOUR WASH, BUT THEY START BACKING YOUR CAR UNDER THAT AWNING.

RIGHT. THAT GETS MOVED TO THE BACK OF THE PROPERTY IN THE IN THE NORTHEAST CORNER WHERE THE VACUUMS THAT WERE THAT WERE ASKING TO BE INSTALLED.

AND SO THOSE GET MOVED.

YOU'LL DRIVE YOUR CAR THROUGH AFTER YOU PAY AND THEN YOU DRIVE TO THE BACK CORNER.

YOU LEAVE YOUR CAR THERE, YOU GO INTO THE LOBBY JUST LIKE YOU WOULD.

NOW THEY TAKE CARE OF THE INSIDE OF YOUR CAR.

OKAY, THAT WAS A STEP.

OKAY, SO AS OPPOSED TO AS IT IS NOW, THEY TAKE YOUR CAR AND THEY DRIVE IT THROUGH.

YES, SIR. I DRIVE MY CAR THROUGH.

YES, SIR. BUT AT THE END, THERE'S THE OPTION FOR SELF SERVICE.

OR SO WHEN YOU GO TO PAY, YOU TELL THEM WHICH WASH YOU WANT.

LET ME GO. SO THIS IS OUR MENU, OUR FULL SERVICE ARE THE ITEMS AT THE TOP THREE.

YOU WANT TO INTERIOR CLEAN FOR $30.

YOU WOULD DRIVE THROUGH, YOU PULL INTO THE VACUUMS UP IN THE NORTHEAST CORNER, YOU'D SEE THE VEHICLE THERE.

THEY THEY'D TAKE CARE OF DRYING YOUR VEHICLE OFF, DOING THE TIRES ON THE OUTSIDE.

THEY THEN DO THE INTERIOR OF YOUR CAR AS WELL.

YOU WOULD PROCEED TO THE LOBBY, HANG OUT.

THEY'LL COME GET YOU WHEN IT'S READY, IF YOU WANT.

JUST AN EXTERIOR WASH.

THOSE ARE THE BOTTOM FOUR ITEMS. WE'VE GOT FOUR DIFFERENT ITEMS TO CHOOSE FROM.

YOU DRIVE THROUGH THE TUNNEL, YOU GO TO THE GO TO A DEDICATED SECTION FOR JUST THE EXTERIOR, AND YOU CAN VACUUM THE CAR, YOUR CAR YOURSELF.

WHAT'S THE CHEAPEST OPTION FOR INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR, THOUGH? $30. OH, SO THE INTERIOR CLEAN.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

THAT'S ALL I HAVE. SO I'M STILL CONFUSED.

CAN GO BACK TO THE DIAGRAM.

YES, MA'AM. SO ON THE BOTTOM ONE.

SO I'M DRIVING UP HERE.

WHERE THE BLUE.

AM I GOING TO THE VACUUM AREA, EXITING MY CAR, GOING IN THE BUILDING, AND THEN AN EMPLOYEE DRIVES MY CAR THROUGH THE WASH OR MY DRIVING MY CAR THROUGH THE WASH AND THEN GOING, I'M STILL TRYING TO FIGURE THIS OUT.

SO YOU'LL PAY HERE? YES. YOU PULL IN, YOU'LL PAY HERE.

YES. YOU DRIVE THE CAR THROUGH, REGARDLESS OF WHICH WALKS YOU GET.

AND THEN AFTER YOU EXIT THE TUNNEL, YOU'LL TAKE A RIGHT THAT TAKES YOU OVER TO THESE SELF SERVICE VACUUMS OR THE FULL SERVICE, WHICH WOULD BE THIS BOTTOM ROW WILL BE THE DEDICATED FULL SERVICE VACUUMS. YOU'LL LEAVE YOUR CAR THERE, THEY TAKE CARE OF THE INTERIOR FOR YOU.

YOU CAN HEAD OVER TO THE LOBBY AND HANG OUT IN THE LOBBY JUST LIKE YOU WOULD CURRENTLY.

I DON'T SEE MYSELF DOING THAT IF I'M BEING HONEST.

I MEAN, THAT SEEMS LIKE A LOT TO ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT AUGUST AND I WANT TO GET MY CAR WASHED AND NOW I'VE GOT TO GO FROM I GOT TO DROP IT OFF AT THE VACUUM AREA AND THEN I'VE GOT TO WALK INSIDE THE BUILDING AND WAIT.

AND THEN YOU'RE GOING TO CALL ME AND THEN I'M GOING TO GO BACK TO MY VEHICLE.

CORRECT? THIS IS AT THE SAME SETUP AS SOME OF YOUR OTHER LOCATIONS.

SIMILAR. IT'S NEARLY IDENTICAL TO EVERY ONE OF OUR LOCATIONS, EXCEPT FOR TWO OTHER FULL SERVICE LOCATIONS THAT WE'VE ACQUIRED.

ONE IS ONES IN THE CITY OF CARROLLTON THAT WAS RECENTLY APPROVED FOR A SIMILAR REMODEL.

TWO WEEKS AGO, WE ACQUIRED ANOTHER SITE IN ROWLETT THAT IS GOING THROUGH THE SAME PROCESS.

ARE YOU TYPICALLY ACQUIRING MOST OF YOUR SITES AND REMODELING OR BUILDING FROM GROUND UP? CORRECT. WE ACQUIRE AND WE REMODEL.

OKAY. VERY GOOD. OKAY. SO.

OH, I'M SORRY. GO AHEAD.

SO JUST TO FOLLOW UP ON COUNCIL MEMBER TALLEY CAR WASH TODAY IS STILL THE SAME THING.

I MEAN, IT'S YOU GET OUT OF YOUR CAR ONE TIME AND YOU GO WAIT SOMEWHERE.

SO IN YOUR CASE, IT'S GOING TO BE NEAR THE END IS WHEN YOU WOULD EXIT YOUR CAR OR THE VACUUM AREA.

[01:50:05]

IS IT IS IT NOT? BECAUSE WHAT DO YOU DO THAT'S DIFFERENT? BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE BY THE TIME I DID ALL THAT, I DROPPED MY CAR OFF.

BY THE TIME I WALKED TO THE BUILDING.

YOU'D BE WAVING THE TOWEL TO COME BACK AND GET MY CAR.

WHAT AM I MISSING? NO.

SO THE $30 WASH IS TYPICALLY A 20 TO 30 MINUTE SERVICE.

STILL, THE $30 INTERIOR CLEAN IS STILL 20 TO 30 MINUTES AFTER YOU HAVE GONE THROUGH THE TUNNEL.

SO THIS IS SO YOU'RE SORT OF YOUR DEAL.

YOUR ANGLE IS A MUCH MORE EXTENSIVE INTERIOR, CLEAN, ALMOST A MINI DETAIL FOR A $30 WASH AS OPPOSED TO OTHERS THAT THEY SPRAY YOUR WINDOWS DOWN REAL QUICK AS THE CAR IS GOING THROUGH THE WASH.

THAT'S REALLY WHERE YOU GUYS ARE PUTTING A LOT OF TIME IN IS ON THE BACK SIDE.

ABSOLUTELY. YES. GOT IT.

COULD YOU PUT THAT PRICE UP AGAIN ONE MORE TIME? YES, SIR. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH APPROVING IT.

IT'S JUST I'M CURIOUS ABOUT IT BECAUSE.

YEAH, I JUST DON'T SEE HOW THIS IS ALL AVAILABLE ON OUR WEBSITE.

OKAY. SO THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE BASIC WASH AT $8 AND THE INTERIOR CLEAN BECAUSE THOSE ARE YOUR TWO MOST BASIC.

ONE IS A BASIC WASH, THE OTHER IS THE MOST BASIC INTERIOR.

SO THE FULL SERVICE, THE INTERIOR CLEAN FOR $30 INCLUDES THE $17 WASH THE SUPER SHINE.

I SEE. YEAH. YES, SIR.

SO YOU GET THE $17 EXTERIOR IN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE BOTTOM FOR EXTERIOR WASHES, THE LEVEL OF CHEMICALS THAT ARE PROVIDED IN THE TUNNEL.

GOT IT FOR PROTECTANT, FOR SHINE OR RAIN REPELLENT AND.

AND SOME OF THE ADDITIONAL FEATURES, ALL OF OUR WASHES, THE $13, $17 AND $20, THOSE ALL INCLUDE TOWEL DRY.

STILL, THE $17 AND $20 INCLUDE TIRE SHINE THAT WE DO BY HAND.

THE $30 WASH INTERIOR CLEAN WILL INCLUDE THE $17 SUPER SHINY EXTERIOR.

AND THEN YOU SEE THAT WE VACUUM, WIPE DOWN THE DASH TO YOUR WINDOWS, AND THEN THE ULTIMATE CLEAN INCLUDES OUR $20 ULTIMATE WASH.

AND THEN IT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAILED ON THE INSIDE.

SO THE MOST FRUGAL CUSTOMER COULD PAY $8, THOUGH, AND GO THROUGH YOUR FULL CAR WASH.

I'LL BE THE BASIC CAR WASH VACUUM IN THEIR OWN CAR AND BE ON THEIR WAY FOR $8.

AND WE ALSO INCLUDE FREE TOWELS FOR THE EXTERIOR CUSTOMERS DO GLASS CLEANER FOR THE CUSTOMERS, WE INCLUDE SPRAY AND AIR FRESHENER FOR THE CLEANER.

THAT'S ACTUALLY A REALLY YEAH, THAT'S GREAT.

AND THE $20 A MONTH, THAT'S A MEMBERSHIP IF YOU UNLIMITED USE.

YES, THAT'S GREAT.

SO CRITICAL QUESTION.

MY TRUCK'S CLEARANCE IS LIKE 7"4, CAN I FIT IN YOUR CAR WASH? I'M SORRY, SAY THAT AGAIN. MY TRUCK'S CLEARANCE IS SEVEN FOUR AND I DON'T FIT IN MOST CAR WASHES.

CAN I FIT IN YOURS? A SIX INCH LIFT.

WILL IT WORK AT MOST OF OUR SITES? YES. AND I HAVE NOT I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HEIGHT IS IN HERE, BUT WE ARE REPLACING ALL OF THE EQUIPMENT IN THE TUNNEL.

OUR CONSTRUCTION MANAGER, TIM HATLEY, IS HERE.

HE CAN ANSWER THAT QUESTION PROBABLY BETTER.

WELL, I HOPE SO. I HOPE SO.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT.

SO AS LONG AS WE CAN GET ON, WE GET A YES.

I'LL MAKE SURE. NO, YOU SAY THAT IT'S HER ATTORNEYS.

THAT'S HER. AND HE PRETENDS SHE DIDN'T HEAR THAT.

NO, NO. JUST CURIOUS.

I'LL BRING MY WIFE'S CAR REGARDLESS.

RIGHT. OKAY.

WELL, THAT'S GREAT.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT, GUYS? WELL, I MEAN, THIS IS, I GUESS, MORE OF A COMMENT.

I THINK WHEN THIS WAS APPROVED A LONG TIME AGO, BECAUSE THIS CAME THROUGH CORRIDOR COMMITTEE, WE HAD SOME PRETTY IN-DEPTH DISCUSSION ABOUT IT.

THE GOAL FOR THIS WAS JUST FOR ALWAYS TO BE A COMPLETELY FULL SERVICE, KIND OF HIGH END CAR WASH FOR SOUTHLAKE.

AND I WON'T DISAGREE AT ALL THAT THIS NEEDS A FACELIFT, THIS NEEDS SOME UPGRADING.

UNFORTUNATELY, TO ME, THIS DOES NOT FEEL LIKE UPGRADING.

THIS FEELS LIKE DOWNGRADING THIS TO PUT IN 17 VACUUMS THAT ARE SELF SERVICE AND TO TO GO BACK AND PARK BACK HERE AND THEN HAVE TO WALK ACROSS, YOU KNOW, LINES OF CARS GOING THERE TO GET TO THE THE LOBBY.

AND THEN I GET A CALL OR SOMETHING THAT I HAVE TO WATCH FOR AND THEN GO BACK TO THE VACUUMS THAT THAT I DIDN'T HAVE TO EVER GO TO BEFORE.

THIS JUST DOESN'T FEEL LIKE AN UPGRADE TO.

AND I JUST DON'T SEE THIS AS WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED WHEN THIS WAS APPROVED AS A SUP.

AND I JUST THIS DOESN'T SOUND LIKE WHAT I THINK I'M LOOKING FOR IN A SOUTHLAKE CAR WASH.

YEAH. AND I GUESS, I MEAN, I WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOUR BUSINESS IN THE UPGRADE BECAUSE IT'S I'VE LIVED IN SOUTHLAKE 26 YEARS AND I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG.

THE OTHER ONE, I THINK THE OTHER ONE'S BEEN THERE THE WHOLE TIME OR PRETTY CLOSE.

AND SO ITS TIME HAS SHOWN ON IT.

RIGHT. AND SO I LOOKED UP ON YOUR WEBSITE AND IT IS A NICE, CLEAN CONCEPT.

IT LOOKS GREAT, BUT AND I KNOW YOU'RE TRYING TO IN SOME WAYS STICK AROUND, PEG, IN A SQUARE HOLE AND TRYING TO RECONFIGURE THE SITE.

BUT I JUST HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT I DO HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT STACKING WHEN WHEN THIS CAR WASH WAS PRE COVID RUNNING WELL WITH THE FOUR

[01:55:03]

BUT THERE'S JUST A LOT OF DRIVING AROUND GOING ON.

YOU GO UP, THEN YOU, THEN YOU TAKE YOUR CAR THROUGH THE CAR WASH, THEN YOU TAKE IT BACK AROUND THE OTHER SIDE.

YOU COME UP HERE AND THEN YOU HAVE TO WALK ACROSS PEOPLE GOING BOTH WAYS, GOING INTO THE CAR WASH AND AROUND TO THE VACUUMS TO BOTH KINDS OF VACUUMS. IT SEEMS LIKE MAYBE I'VE JUST GOT SOME SAFETY CONCERNS.

I, I THINK.

YEAH, I DON'T, I DON'T.

I'M SURE THERE'S PLENTY OF PEOPLE THAT DO THIS.

OBVIOUSLY, IT'S A CONCEPT THAT WORKS THAT YOU'VE SEEN WORK.

BUT TO COUNCIL WOMAN ROBBIN'S POINT, IT'S, IT'S WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED AS A FULL SERVICE VACUUM, FULL SERVICE CAR WASH.

AND SO I'M STRUGGLING I'M STRUGGLING WITH IT FOR THOSE REASONS, FOR THAT REASON.

AND WITH EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING ON ON THE SITE, WITH THE RECONFIGURATION.

SO YOU ALSO SAID THAT THE TWO, THE SUPER SHINE AND THE ULTIMATE CARE COME WITH HAND TOWEL DRY, CORRECT.

THE BRIGHT WASH, THE SUPERSTAR SHINE AND THE ULTIMATE CARE.

SO ALL THROUGH. SO WHERE DOES THAT TOWEL DRY OCCUR? SO THAT'LL BE AT TUNNEL EXIT.

IT WILL STILL BE DONE HERE, BUT WE WILL NOT HAVE THESE AWNINGS THAT ARE CREATING STACKING ISSUES AS WELL.

WHAT YOU RUN INTO NOW ON THE BUSY SATURDAYS, WHAT YOU GUYS HAVE MENTIONED IS YOU GET A PLETHORA OF CARS HERE.

THEY'RE GETTING IN THE WAY OF THE EASEMENT HERE.

THAT IS ALSO LEADS YOU TO THE POINT OF SALE WITH NEW EQUIPMENT IN THE TUNNEL.

WE'LL BE ABLE TO PROCESS UP TO 200 CARS AN HOUR OUT OF THERE AND WE WILL BE ABLE TO PUSH.

OUR VISION IS AS THEY MAKE THE RIGHT, THEY GET THE TOWEL DRY HERE AND TIRE SHINE AND THEN THEY HEAD OVER TO THE TO THE VACUUMS FOR THE REST OF THEIR SERVICE.

IF THEY IF THEY WANT, THEY CAN JUST THEY CAN LOOP BACK AROUND AND EXIT.

IF THEY DON'T WANT TO USE THE VACUUMS, THEY JUST WANT AN EXTERIOR WASH.

THEY HAVE FULL SERVICE.

THEY'LL HEAD BACK THERE AND WE'LL TAKE CARE OF.

WE'LL TAKE YOU THERE. THE INTERIOR DIRECTOR.

CAN I INTERRUPT YOU FOR SAKE? DIRECTOR BAKER, CAN I ASK A QUICK QUESTION? GIVE ME ONE SECOND. LET ME ASK KEN A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.

SO THIS IS A THIS IS A ZONING CHANGE IN SITE PLAN, CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT, YES. THE ZONING CHANGE WAS TRIGGERED BY WHAT THE WHEN THE IN 1996, THIS HAD C-3 ZONING ON THE PROPERTY.

AND SO A FULL SERVICE CAR WASH REQUIRED A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT BE APPROVED TO ALLOW THE USE OF THE PROPERTY.

THIS MODEL HERE IS A A FULL SERVICE AND A SELF SERVICE, SO IT DOESN'T FIT INTO THE FULL SERVICE SETUP. SO THE MECHANISM TO ALLOW THIS HYBRID MODEL, THE APPLICANT HAS TO GO THROUGH THE REZONING, THE SUP PROCESS IN ORDER TO DO IT BECAUSE THERE'S NOT A MECHANISM AVAILABLE THROUGH OUR SPECIFIC USE PERMIT THAT HAS A A HYBRID FUNCTION.

SO THE ONLY AVENUE TO ACHIEVE WHAT'S DESIRED THE SITE IS TO GO THROUGH THE REZONING TO ALLOW THE SELF SERVE OR FULL SERVE COMPONENT OF IT.

SO SO WHAT IS CAUSING IT TO BE A HYBRID VERSUS A FULL SERVICE? IT'S THE IT'S THE IT'S THE SELF SERVICE.

IT'S THE COMPONENT OF THE SHOP TALK'S FULL SERVICE CAR.

SO IF IT WAS JUST A FULL SERVICE WASH, WOULD WE, WOULD IT STILL BE AN SUP APPLICATION OR WOULD THEY BE UNDER THE PRIOR SUP THEY WOULD HAVE TO MODIFY THEIR SUP.

SO THERE'S STILL BEEN A LEGISLATIVE ACTION BECAUSE THEY'RE THEY'RE THEY'RE CHANGING THE CONFIGURATION AND CONFIGURATION.

IT WOULD BE ON THE SCOPE OF THE ORIGINAL APPROVAL OR SITE PLAN, BUT THE ZONING IS REALLY TO FILL A GAP IN OUR ZONING CODE, IN OUR ORDINANCE.

YES. AND THAT'S BECAUSE THE CONCEPT DIDN'T FIT THE ORDINANCE AS IT WAS WRITTEN 25 YEARS AGO, RIGHT? YES. THAT'S THE NATURE OF THE SITE PLAN ZONING DISTRICT, IS THAT IT'S ESSENTIALLY YOU CREATE A ZONING DOESN'T FIT FIT INTO A STANDARD CATEGORY.

SO THIS HAS AC3 ZONING IN PLACE.

BUT THE SUP.

IT DOESN'T HAVE A A SELF SERVE FULL SERVE CAR WASH SUP OPTION.

RIGHT. SO THE ONLY MECHANISM TO GET TO ALLOW THIS TYPE OF OPERATION WOULD BE THE REZONING PROCESS.

RIGHT. SO I JUST WANT TO BE CAREFUL AS WE DISCUSS THIS, WHEN WE THINK ABOUT HOW WE'RE GOING TO BASE A VOTE, IT'S NOT REALLY ABOUT REDESIGNING THE BUSINESS OR WHETHER OR NOT WE WOULD USE THE BUSINESS PERSONALLY.

[02:00:01]

AND THIS HYBRID MODEL, WHICH IS THE INCLUSION OF THESE SELF SERVICE VACUUMS, RIGHT? YES, SIR. YOU LOOK AT LAND USE IMPACT.

YEAH. YOUR TYPICAL THINGS YOU LOOK AT DURING THE ZONING CASE.

YES, SIR. SO.

SO I JUST WANT TO BE CAREFUL AS WE AS WE TALK THROUGH THIS.

AND I UNDERSTAND THERE'S DIFFERENCES OF OPINION, BUT REALLY THE ISSUE IS, DO YOU GUYS WANT THE SELF SERVICE VACUUMS? I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT.

I MEAN, I USE WE GO TO WASH BROTHERS AND GRAPEVINE SIMILAR CONCEPT, NEARLY IDENTICAL CONCEPT.

BUT ARE WE ABLE TO CONSIDER THOUGH AND MAYBE YOU CAN ANSWER TO ARE WE ABLE TO CONSIDER THINGS LIKE STACKING QUEUING? YEAH, OF COURSE. THAT'S PART OF THE ZONING.

YEAH, OF COURSE.

BUT YOU GUYS ARE VERY SIMILAR TO WATCH BROTHERS, RIGHT? THE LAYOUT IS SIMILAR, YES.

BUT WALSH BROTHERS IS EXTERIOR ONLY BUSINESS, BUT IT IS SELF SERVICE VACUUMS. SO IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THAT SIZE, THOSE VACUUMS, I DON'T HAVE A I MEAN, I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT AS LONG AS WE GOT YOU KNOW, AS LONG AS WE CAN GET THE NEIGHBORS ON BOARD. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE NEIGHBORS ARE.

WELL, I MEAN, IF IT MEANS SOME NOISE ORDINANCE.

YEAH, NO, I THINK I JUST I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHAT'S HAPPENING FROM A CUING STANDPOINT, SO FORTH, BECAUSE THE POINTS THAT COUNCIL MEMBER ROBBINS AND TALLEY MADE ARE VALID.

BECAUSE YOU HAD SAID THAT YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD MOVE 200 CARS THROUGH HERE AN HOUR AND EASILY.

YES. THAT MATH IS NOT WORKING FOR ME, THOUGH, BECAUSE THAT MEANS YOU HAVE TO TURN THOSE 17 SPOTS EVERY 5 MINUTES.

AND YOU SAID THAT THAT'S A 20 TO 30 MINUTE PROCESS WHEN THOSE CARS ARE BACK THERE GETTING VACUUM.

SO WHAT AM I MISSING? SO NOW NOT EVERYBODY USES THE VACUUMS. IT'S IT'S AN OPTIONALITY NOT EVERYONE WANTS.

PEOPLE JUST GOT THERE.

AS YOU EXPERIENCE IN TEXAS IN MARCH.

YOU MAY HAVE JUST GOTTEN YOUR CAR WASHED.

TWO DAYS LATER, IT'S YELLOW FROM POLLEN.

YOU DON'T NEED THE INSIDE. DON'T AGAIN.

YOU CAN RUN IT THROUGH AND YOU'RE JUST GO THROUGH THE TUNNEL.

I GOT YOU. AND THAT'S THAT'S A BULK OF.

DO YOU HAVE A SENSE FOR WHAT PERCENTAGE OF FOLKS, BASED ON YOUR OTHER BUSINESSES, EITHER PAY FOR THE VACUUM OR DO VACUUM THEMSELVES? I HAVE A HUNDRED PEOPLE COME THROUGH THERE.

I'M JUST CURIOUS HOW MANY WILL UTILIZE THE VACUUMS. SO I DON'T HAVE A SPECIFIC NUMBER AND I DON'T WANT TO I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK ON RECORD OF SOMETHING, BUT I CAN DO A STUDY ON THAT DATA OF OUR SITES AND TRY AND GET YOU SOMETHING MORE ACCURATE.

I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THAT. I MEAN, IF THIS GOES TO SECOND READING, IT WOULD JUST IT HELPS A LOT WITH JUST US HAVING A GOOD UNDERSTANDING OF THE QUEUING AND STACKING.

BECAUSE I AGREE WITH THE MAYOR, IT'S TO ME IT'S NOT ABOUT THE VACUUMS. IF THEY MEET THE DECIMAL REQUIREMENTS, SO BE IT.

IT'S MORE ABOUT I JUST DON'T WANT TO, YOU KNOW, WE CONSIDER LIKE THAT CORNER AT WHITE CHAPEL AND SOUTHLAKE BOULEVARD RECENTLY.

RIGHT. AND IT ALL CAME.

EVERYBODY THERE AGREED? YEAH. WE'D LOVE TO HAVE AN IMPROVEMENT HERE, BUT.

BUT WHAT ULTIMATELY CAUSED THAT CASE TO FAIL WAS THE CONCERN ABOUT STACKING AND HOW'S TRAFFIC GOING TO WORK IN SAFETY ISSUES OF CROSSING BACK OVER TRAFFIC.

WE JUST WANT TO KNOW, I WAS TALKING ABOUT THAT INTERSECTION DURING THE BREAK.

JUST REALLY IF YOU GIVE US THAT TO BUILD A CAR WASH, WELL, YOU GUYS CAN HAVE THIS ONE BACK, BUT THAT'S NOT THE CASE.

WELL, BUT I DON'T THINK WE WANT THAT.

WE'RE NOT IN A POSITION TO GIVE PROPER I DON'T THINK WE OWN OUR CHALLENGE, BECAUSE IF YOU'D WANTED TO WORK WITH US, WE'D BE HAPPY TO CONVERT THAT INTO A CAR WASH AND ALLEVIATE THESE. SO I THINK THAT'S A GOOD COMMENT.

IF YOU IF YOU MOVE ON A SECOND READING, I THINK YOU PUT SOME TIME INTO HELPING US UNDERSTAND THE TRAFFIC FLOW AND THE STACKING BECAUSE THAT IS I MEAN, 1938 IS A REALLY BUSY, REALLY BUSY STREET AND YOU'RE CLOSE TO THAT INTERSECTION.

SO YEAH.

AND WE RUN WE RUN SITES THAT ARE ON 40,000 PLUS CAR COUNT.

AND SO GETTING IN AND OUT OF THE PROPERTY, WE DEAL WITH THAT.

WE HAVE SITES THAT HAVE LESS VACUUMS THAN WHAT'S BEING PROPOSED HERE.

WE'D LIKE TO EXPAND ON THOSE AS WELL, IF POSSIBLE.

BUT BUT ABSOLUTELY, WE'LL WE WILL DO SOME STUDIES ON ON OUR SITES THAT HAVE SIMILAR VACUUM COUNTS THAT BASED ON SIMILAR TRAFFIC COUNT AND POPULATION DENSITY, WE CAN GET YOU WE CAN GET YOU A PRETTY GOOD ESTIMATE OF WHAT YOU THINK THE IMPACT WOULD BE.

YEAH, THAT'D BE GREAT. MAYOR, I HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION.

OF COURSE. AND YOU HAVE MADE SOME CHANGES SINCE CORRIDOR, AND I REALLY DO SUPER APPRECIATE THE EXTRA EFFORT THAT YOU PUT IN THE PRESENTATION BECAUSE YOU DID CLEAR SOME THINGS UP FOR ME FOR SURE IN REGARDS TO EXITING.

WHICH WAY DO YOU SEE PEOPLE LEAVING THE VACUUM AREA AND THEN EXITING THE FACILITY? SURE. SO IT WILL BE IT'S HARD TO SEE IT HERE, BUT I ENVISION EXITING THE TUNNEL, WHICH THE TUNNEL EXITS HERE.

THEY'LL GO ALONG THIS DOROTHY EASEMENT HERE TO THE VACUUMS. WHEN THEY'RE LEAVING, THEY'LL COME DOWN THROUGH THE FIRE, WHICH IS THE EXISTING FIRE LINE, AND WE'LL EXIT AT THE PROPERTY THAT WAY.

THANK YOU. AND WE WILL AND WE DO HAVE TRAFFIC MONITORING AT EVERY ONE OF OUR SITES.

WE HAVE PEOPLE TO GUIDE YOU FROM TUNNEL EXIT TO SHOW YOU WHERE TO GO, BECAUSE AT EVERY CAR WASH, YOU DO RUN INTO SOME CONFUSION REGARDLESS OF HOW MANY TIMES YOU'VE

[02:05:06]

AND IT'S ALSO A SAFETY MEASURE TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE ARE ABLE TO GET TO AND FROM THE BUILDING TO THE VACUUMS WITHOUT CONCERN.

GREAT. OKAY.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT AT THIS TIME? OKAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I'LL CALL YOU BACK. THANK YOU. SO THIS IS NOT A PUBLIC HEARING, BUT WE DID HAVE ONE COMMENT CARD AND I BELIEVE IT WAS THE THE NEIGHBOR MENTIONED.

SO I'D GO AHEAD AND LET.

STEPHANIE LOAM. LOAM DID I SAY THAT RIGHT? LOMA ALL RIGHT. IF MRS. LOMA IF YOU WANT TO COME ON OUT, IF YOU JUST STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD AND THEN MAYBE JUST GIVE A RUNDOWN OF KIND OF WHAT'S WHAT'S THE LATEST FROM YOUR PERSPECTIVE? SO MY NAME IS STEPHANIE LOMA.

MY ADDRESS IS 2300 WEST CONTINENTAL BOULEVARD IN SOUTHLAKE, TEXAS, 76092.

SO THERE'S A COUPLE OF THINGS, AND I'M JUST GOING TO MAKE A COUPLE GENERAL COMMENTS.

SO I PURCHASED THIS PROPERTY IN 2012 AND HONESTLY, IT WAS A FORECLOSURE AND I ONLY WENT AT NIGHT AND SO I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THERE WAS A CARWASH BEHIND IT.

SO TO MY SURPRISE, IT WAS QUITE A SURPRISE AND THERE WAS NO FENCING BECAUSE IT WAS A FORECLOSURE.

THE PREVIOUS INTERIM OWNER REMOVED ALL OF THE FENCING.

SO WE HAD NO FENCING.

WE HAD LIKE METAL FENCING BETWEEN US AND THE CAR WASH.

AND I HAD AT THE TIME SIX CHILDREN AND THERE WAS A POOL IN THE BACKYARD.

AND SO I WENT TO AT THE TIME IT WAS PDB AND I SAID, LISTEN, I WOULD LOVE TO PUT UP A STONE FENCE AND SHARE THE COST WITH YOU BECAUSE I HAVE CHILDREN AND IT'S A PRIVACY CONCERN AND THERE'S PEOPLE COMING THROUGH.

IT'S A LOT OF TRAFFIC.

I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF GIRLS.

AND SO ANYWAY, THEY WERE NOT VERY NICE.

IT WAS NOT A GOOD START TO OUR RELATIONSHIP.

I ENDED UP PUTTING FENCING AROUND THE ENTIRE PROPERTY MYSELF AND WITH MY HUSBAND.

I TAUGHT HIM HOW. AND SO WE WE PUT ABOUT $40,000 WORTH OF WOOD FENCING AND USED OUR OWN LABOR.

AND IT TOOK US, I DON'T KNOW, NINE MONTHS TO DO THAT.

AND THAT WAS JUST FROM A PRIVACY STANDPOINT.

IT DID NOT HELP WITH THE NOISE.

AND THE NOISE WAS NOT COMING FROM I GUESS THERE'S THIS MOUSE THING HERE.

SO RIGHT HERE WHERE THEY DO THE VACUUMING, WE WEREN'T REALLY HEARING A LOT FROM THE VACUUMS HERE.

AS MUCH AS THERE IS A CANOPY THAT WAS PUT UP THAT WAS NOT A PART OF THE ORIGINAL SITE PLAN THAT I'VE COMPLAINED ABOUT MULTIPLE TIMES.

THEY HAD SOME SOME SHAMPOOS, SHAMPOOING STATIONS, AND THOSE THINGS WERE LOUD AND THEY HAD AIR COMPRESSORS THAT THEY WERE BLOWING OFF BACK ARE BLOWING OFF YOUR FLOOR MATS, WHICH YOU CAN IMAGINE AND SO SUPER LOUD. AND I HAD THE POLICE OUT A NUMBER OF TIMES BECAUSE OF THE SOUND AND AND EVERYTHING AND AND IT JUST WASN'T A GOOD SITUATION.

SO I WASN'T VERY EXCITED ABOUT THOSE.

I DON'T MEAN TO CUT YOU OFF. WE ONLY HAVE ONE MORE MINUTE ON YOUR TIMER, SO I DIDN'T KNOW I HAD THIS.

OKAY, THERE'S ONLY 3 MINUTES.

SO THIS IS THE DEAL.

IT'S THE ONLY. IT'S ONLY CAR WASH THAT WILL EVER BE IN SOUTHLAKE.

AND SO I NEED SOMEBODY WHO IS GOING TO LISTEN THAT WE'RE A FAMILY, WE LIVE IN THIS PROPERTY, AND HE'S GOING TO RESPECT THAT.

I MET WITH THIS COMPANY AND THEY SEEM LIKE THEY WANT TO PUT SOME MONEY IN THERE AND THEY WANT TO, YOU KNOW, PUT THAT STONE WALL UP, GIVE US THE PRIVACY.

ALSO HELP US WITH THE SOUND REDUCTION, MOVING THE VACUUMS FAR AWAY FROM OUR PROPERTY.

YOU KNOW, IF SOUTHLAKE LIKE THEY'VE SAID, IF YOU WOULD PUT LET THEM PUT A CAR WASH ON 1709.

I MEAN, THERE WAS A MILLION PEOPLE WHO WOULD JUMP ON THAT.

BUT SOUTHLAKE WON'T LET YOU GUYS DO THAT AND THAT OR YOU OR STUFF LIKE WE ARE SOUTHLAKE IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN, FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND.

SO THAT CAR WASH WILL BE A CAR WASH FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.

IT WILL ALWAYS BE PURCHASED BY SOMEBODY.

SO I WOULD LIKE FOR IT TO BE PURCHASED BY SOMEBODY WHO IS GOING TO BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR.

AND I FEEL LIKE THESE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO TRY TO BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR TO ME.

AWESOME. PERFECT.

WELL DONE. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I APPRECIATE YOUR THOUGHTS. THANKS FOR COMING DOWN HERE.

THANK YOU. ABSOLUTELY.

APPRECIATE IT. DID THAT MAKE SENSE? PERFECT SENSE. YES.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR FOR YOUR FEEDBACK ON THAT.

OK COUNCIL, YOU GUYS HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR DIRECTOR BAKER OR THE APPLICANT AT THIS POINT? THIS IS FIRST READING.

SO IF THERE'S SOMETHING YOU GUYS WOULD LIKE TO SEE, IF YOU'RE INCLINED TO VOTE YES BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING, NOW'S THE TIME TO TELL THE APPLICANT ANY OTHER DISCUSSION. I GUESS I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SEE A BETTER VISUAL OF WHAT THIS WOULD ACTUALLY LOOK LIKE IN ACTION.

MOORE. MOORE REALLY STRUGGLING WITH THE SAFETY, THE STACKING.

I IT SOUNDS LIKE I HAVEN'T EVEN SPOKEN TO THE VACUUMS. IT SOUNDS LIKE THAT'S ALL SOLVED AND EVERYBODY'S HAPPY WITH THAT.

SO THAT'S NOT HAVING THOSE OR NOT HAVING THOSE FULL SERVICE OR SELF SERVICE.

[02:10:04]

MY CONCERN IS ALL OF THIS THAT'S GOING ON AND I JUST HAVE A HARD TIME PICTURING ALL THESE VEHICLES GOING, ALL THESE DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS AND PEOPLE AND I KNOW YOU'VE GOT PEOPLE, EMPLOYEES THAT ARE GOING TO HELP WITH THAT, BUT I STILL I STILL HAVE CONCERNS.

SO I NEED TO SEE AN ACTUAL BETTER VISUAL TO UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING TO BE GOING ON.

I THINK THAT'S A GOOD POINT. CAN WE EXPECT TO SEE A MORE DETAILED SITE PLAN, MAYBE A BIGGER, MORE DETAILED SITE PLAN BEFORE OK? THANK YOU. YEAH. AND I THINK YOU'VE HEARD A LOT OF COMMENTS ABOUT STACKING AND TRAFFIC FLOW.

WE JUST WE NEED TO GET OUR ARMS AROUND THAT BECAUSE ONCE WE APPROVE YOU, YOU KNOW, IT'S APPROVED.

WE DON'T HAVE ANY CONTROL AFTER THAT.

SO, YEAH, SO THE SO THE SO THE WALK AWAY IS I GUESS FOR THE HOMEWORK IS THAT IT'S FIRST OF ALL, REALLY GETTING IN DETAIL.

HOW DOES THIS PROPERTY WORK? HOW ARE THINGS GOING TO MOVE? I'M SURE YOU HAVE THE ANSWER OFF THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD.

BUT I'M CURIOUS, IS IT NOT AN OPTION AFTER THE THE PAYING CANOPIES TO GO DIRECTLY INTO THE VACUUMING AREA AND THEN GO THROUGH THE CAR WASH? SO THERE'S NOT THAT BACKTRACKING? IT MAY NOT BE, BUT THAT'S SOMETHING I'D BE CURIOUS TO SEE IF IT'S EVEN A POSSIBILITY.

AND THEN THE OTHER PIECE IS PERHAPS YOU CAN WORK WITH STAFF ON A WALL EXHIBIT JUST TO SHOW US WHAT'S THE WALL LOOK LIKE, WHAT ARE THE MATERIALS, WHAT'S THE HEIGHTS GOING TO BE? SO WE REALLY HAVE A GOOD FEELING ABOUT THAT FOR THE NEIGHBOR AND FOR US AS WELL.

I MEAN, THAT'S WHAT I CAN THINK OF.

ANYTHING ELSE GOES, OKAY.

YEAH. AND IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT THAT YOU ADDRESS THESE BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES WE'LL APPROVE SOMETHING ON FIRST READING BECAUSE WE WANT TO MOVE IT THROUGH.

WE WANT TO MOVE THINGS ALONG AND NOT HOLD YOU UP.

BUT THE BIG DEAL IS SECOND READING WHERE THESE QUESTIONS ARE GOING TO BE CRITICAL, BE ADDRESSED.

ALL COME ON DOWN TO THE MIC JUST TO MAKE SURE THE VIDEO PICKS YOU UP.

I BELIEVE WE TRY TO ADDRESS ALL THE INITIAL CONCERNS BEFORE THIS PRESENTATION THIS EVENING.

AND SO WE WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO WITH OUR BEST EFFORT.

AND WE'LL TRY TO PROVIDE YOU SOME SOLID DATA ON THIS SO THAT WE CAN ALLEVIATE ANY ADDITIONAL CONCERNS THAT HAVE BEEN RAISED TONIGHT.

PERFECT. I APPRECIATE IT.

AND THIS WON'T CLEAR IT UP TOTALLY FOR US BECAUSE OUR SITE IS SO UNIQUE.

HOWEVER, I THINK FROM A CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HEARD ABOUT THE LIGHTS THE SHOW.

I THINK IT WOULD BE GOOD TO DO A VIDEO IN ONE OF YOUR OTHER LOCATIONS OF HERE'S HOW WE HERE'S HERE'S WHAT HAPPENS SO THAT WE CAN SEE YOUR GUYS IN ACTION.

THEY'RE DIRECTING TRAFFIC. WE CAN SEE WHAT TYPE OF OPERATION YOU'RE RUNNING.

AND I THINK THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL FOR ME AT LEAST.

FEEL FREE TO TAKE A LOOK ON THE MAIN PAGE OF OUR WEBSITE.

WE'VE GOT A VIDEO THAT GOES THROUGH A LOT OF THAT, BUT WE WILL PROVIDE A FULL VIDEO AS WELL.

JUST TO SHOW YOU WHAT THE INSIDE OF THE TUNNEL LOOKS LIKE.

IT'LL BE A LITTLE MORE INFORMATIONAL, LESS MARKETING TYPE OF VIDEO.

BUT YEAH, THAT'D BE GREAT.

AND THEN WE'LL WE'LL SHOW YOU KIND OF SOME SNAPSHOTS OF OUR, OUR EMPLOYEES IN ACTION GUIDING TRAFFIC AND AND EVERYTHING THEY DO.

OKAY, THANKS. IF THERE'S NO OTHER DISCUSSION, IS THERE MOTION IS MAYOR COUNCIL.
