CITIZEN COMMENTS Douglas Chumley; 9831 Clear Diamond Drive stated that there is a Planning and Zoning Commission member and a City Council member making videos regarding the MUD proposition. He sent a statement from the MUD to the City Attorney providing a statement regarding their position. He would like to step back as the Vice President of BCMUD 31 and speak as a resident. He found the statements made to not only be naccurate but also untrue. He mentioned he attended the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, and it was stated that we don't grant variances to residents or citizens, we only grant them to developers for economic impact. He finds this disturbing. At the last board meeting he attended they denied the variance for a resident because we would have to change the ordinances. The city has not changed the ordinances in three years. This was brought up at the meeting and was stated that we. have a grant for $300,000.00 and if we change the ordinances that might tweak the grant. So, for three years we haven't updated our ordinances that affect all of our residents and don't grant variances. He stated we only grant variances for developers unless it's Land Tejas. He is looking forward to the upcoming city council meeting as there is a sign variance that will be on the agenda that already went through Planning and Zoning. EXECUTIVE SESSION-4:21 P.M.
