I'm sorry. Good morning ladies and gentlemen, I'm kind of Commissioner's Court for Tuesday, March 25th. It's now in session. This morning, the indication of being given by Sheriff Will Travis and our pledges will be led by Beth Fleming, Director of Purchasing. Will you please stand? Morning, Judge, commissioners. Please bow your head. Dear father, thank you for this beautiful day. Thank you for everything you've done for us. Thank you for blessing us the way you have. Thank you for all the men and women in uniform that support us both domestically and internationally. I pray that you will be with this commissioners court and let them make very good decisions for Jettin County today. Thank you for everything once again. Your name we ask it. I'll men. of the United States of America and to the Republic, which is staying one nation under God, individual with liberty. Justice Crow, honor the Texas right, I have a question. I'm going to do the Texas. I'm saying, under God, one, an individual. Okay. Item one is for public input for items not listed on the agenda. If there's any member of public who'd like to address the Mr. Scorke, we ask that you please complete a public comment form. We'd like to remind everyone also to please turn off your cell phones and pages. In consideration of their time, we're gonna go immediately to a couple presentations that we have this morning. First we'll go to item 3A on the agenda. 3A is presentation of the results of the vision of North Texas initiative. And it says by George Campbell, but instead we have Jack Tidwell with us this morning. Good morning. Good morning, Judge. Thank you, Commissioner Scort, for having me here today to talk about the important program, Vision or Texas. The George Campbell was on the agenda, had a doctor's appointment, had a conflict, so I'm substituting, so I'll do my best. We're glad to have you. Thank you so much. Vision or Texas is all about choices. It's about the North Central Texas Council of Governments main role is service to our member local governments. And one of those items of service has been the conversation about what the future looks like, what we'll do and what choices can we make to make sure that we have a bright and as bright a future as we have had a past. We want a future that is better than business as usual. We'll talk about three questions. We'll talk about how did we get here? What challenges do we face if we choose kind of the no decision set? And how can we do better? These are a series of maps that indicate how quickly the North Central Texas region, in particularly Dallas, Tarent, Denton, and Colin have grown. You'll see some color in the center of the map that represents developed areas and in increments of time you can see how fast and how furious the growth in North Central Texas has been. And right here in this area of the region as well, you can see the challenges that are faced in terms of public services, infrastructure, all those systems that are needed to support our residents in a high quality of life that has become associated with more central taxes. It's quite a challenge. One of the understandings of the growth of more central taxes is that Dallas and Fort Worth, the central part of the region, represents a majority of the growth. What we have found through our work is that is not true. It is the areas, all the other areas in North Central Texas, including Denton County, Parker County, all the counties outside Dallas and Tarant that represent a majority of the growth that is projected in the region and will have to make hard decisions to be able to accommodate that growth in the manner in which they wish. What we have chosen to do with the Council of Governments is to represent population in terms of households and populations in terms of jobs that is needed to support those households. So you can see by the year 2050, we are projecting almost 12 million people, right now we have just about six, little bit over six, and seven to point million jobs from about right at four in the current timeframe. We're expecting a lot of growth. The call of all 16 counties. 16 counties. And that represents quite a bit of challenges. Driving up from Lewisville, I ran through some of that challenge this morning. The folks with the Council of Governments at Miniatur of Yoll are familiar with, is the Metropolitan Planning Organization side of the house that deal with the Federal and State Transportation funding. The side of the House that I'm in is more of a government service organization, but we certainly partner quite a bit between both sides of those efforts. The cost of congestion is very important and these are kind of hard to read but the red areas indicating high levels of congestion What currently exists in 2013? what could be in 2035 in terms of if we have all the money in the world versus if we have We don't build anything and what we find is is even if we had all the money in the world versus if we have, we don't build anything. And what we find is even if we had all the money in the world to establish what we had, have laid out in mobility plans, we would still have an increasing amount of congestion coming at us. These are big issues to deal with. That has an impact on air quality and we know that the transportation implications do have a direct impact to the on-road vehicle component to our air quality problem. And this has a lot of regulatory and potentially financing implications to the future of our transportation system. Also, obviously the environmental quality and public health component as well. Water supply is a big deal. I think a lot of people drive across like Lewisville and understand that every day, more and more every day. I think a lot of people drive across like Lewisville and understand that every day more and more every day What we're looking at is If on our projections in 2050 we will Our projected to need upwards of two billion gallons of water per day the system is currently Not capable of meeting that and we're gonna have to find really creative ways in order to account for that. Conservation, reuse, different types of irrigation, certainly we want to protect what we have. We need to look at the region and understand where the population is, but also where the reservoirs are. And understand that if development had occurred out past those reservoirs, the potential degradation to those reservoirs could really hurt us in a double whammy. The rivers are, we've done a remarkable job in terms of water quality since the 1970s, but the rivers and creeks and streams still face quite a bit of challenge. The open space that we have and the natural infrastructure services they provide, once they're gone, they're gone. They're extremely expensive to replace. So the question is, how do we incorporate that type of factor into our decision making for planning and infrastructure decisions and development decisions. That's what VisionWorTexas is all about reassessing and studying. Power. This is from ERCOT, which the main message of this is the summer loads are increasing while the reserves have plateaued. Right now, the important part of that graph is that one line is under the other. When those two lines cross, that's gonna be a problem. And so efficiency, power plant decisions, transmission decisions are all going to be very important policy issues that folks like yourself will be facing into the future. Vision or Texas is all about trying to increase the awareness of your constituents about this discussion. about this discussion to encourage a forum that's productive and informative rather than kind of knee jerk and reactive. We really do think that North Central Texas possesses a very successful future in it and it's the creativity and the innovation the folks like yourself throughout the region that's going to ensure that for a sustainable future for more Texas. Awareness and dialogue have been what we've been about for the past six or seven years, about talking about the just the facts I just mentioned to folks who don't do this for living. Who have important stakeholders, stakeholder positions in the economy and our communities and our faith organizations or medical organizations, but may not understand that some of the decision making that we made in 1980 may not be appropriate for 2014. So it's been a very effective discussion. We've had folks who have been normally very competitive in this picture, Mayor Leppert and Mayor Monkreif, to see them come together and play with our Legos, that the Mayor Monkreif and the Pink Tie you'll see in the upper left is actually going through an exercise, some of you may have seen, where we encourage this thought process by saying challenging groups of people to say, here's the next increment of people and jobs in the region. They're represented by square Legos. Here's a map of North Central Texas. Here's what we think it looks like, can you do any better? We gave them an hour, hour and a half to do it. And they tried to hide Legos in their pockets. We stopped them from that. But they negotiated ways to do that. The process, the value isn't what they produced. It was the thought process and the conversation they went through to do that. That resulted in a report called North Texas 2050 that came up with some action plans that were currently pursuing by educational opportunities like this, continued outreach. We're trying to encourage additional research. The American Planning Association two years ago recognized us with a innovative national award for regional planning. We've come up with a mission statement that talks about North Central Texas maintaining a recognition that is worldwide, that we try to balance the success and vitality that supports innovative people and businesses and nurtures its very natural assets. of people and businesses and nurtures, it's very natural assets. This, I think, is does a good job of representing the diversity and the opportunities that all sectors face and can look at into the future. We have centered our alimists and our efforts on guiding principles. We have 12 of them, and I won't go through each one of them, but I will just say they're about acknowledging the issue. They're not to tell individuals or elected leaderships what to do on those issues, but they're to just simply explore the concept of pedestrian design. I dare say the work that has been done in the region, this downtown and other downtowns from east to west, represent more pedestrian design that we have ever seen in North Central Texas. I think there's a lot of information out there on healthy communities. And from a council, the government's perspective, I'm particularly proud of the last guiding principle, which is implementation. Because we can come up with all the great ideas in the world, but if we're not assisting our local governments and they're not assisting each other, find ways of actually putting the rubber on the road, we've still got a long way to go. We have tried to recognize the natural breakout of land throughout the area, including natural areas and mixed use centers. I'm an environmental planner, I'm very proud of the natural resources that are still out there, and protective of the value that they provide. Again, they're extremely expensive to replace once they're gone. We certainly want to accommodate future growth, we want to offer opportunity opportunity and we want to increase choice for folks like yourself. Because the future of North Texas is going to look different. We are going to have fewer school-aged children. We're going to have a labor force that looks different. We're going to be an older group of folks. We're going to be much more diverse. And we're going to have transit-oriented households and I think Ditton County has actually embraced that. I wish I was on the train this morning. As I want to close, we, what we found from all the partners between the Vision or Texas is a partnership, not just with local government, but we've involved the private sector and academia. That discussion has resulted in an examination where acknowledgement that the market demand is going to be different in the future. And it's not going to be met by business as usual. Some have even said business as usual is dead, which is kind of a stark statement. So with that in mind, I wanna thank you again for the opportunity to come speak with you today. The Council of the Governments, Urban Land Institute, the University of Texas at Arlington, continues its partnership with all the players from all over the region into the future. We will be incorporating vision or Texas messages into the work of the council of governments and into our Decision and policy making into the future. We certainly encourage you to Consider do your research and if you have any questions, please let me know. Thank you Thank you. Appreciate your time. Are there any questions from members of commission? Thank you for being here. Appreciate it. We're very excited and we're going through and with those little Legos. I had many years ago, probably about five or six years ago, had great time playing with those Legos and deciding where to plug them and everybody deciding where they're going to plug the Legos to make cities, or make their counties. And so it was fine. You got to relax a little bit. Good visual. Thank you so much. Thank you. Okay. Let's next go to item 3D on the agenda, which is a presentation of the proposed tours. Number three, Lakefront District of the town of Lilleau, by Matt Mueller, town manager for Lilleau. Members, I along with Mr. Coleman have invited the city of Lilleau, Town of Lilleau, to come and make a presentation on a new tours that they've formed and are asking for our participation in it. I think I briefed you a little bit earlier on that and Matt Mueller is the city manager and I'm sure he'll introduce the rest of his party while they're getting things started there and you've been with the town for less than a year, or have you ever been here? Just about a little over a year now. It all blurs together. It moves so fast there. I think it's almost a year and a half, but I'd have to stop and count. Well, welcome to our court. And I'm excited about here in a venture project. Well, thank you very much. Thank you for the kind introduction and honorable judge, commissioners. Thank you so much for having us today. I'd like to introduce Jeanette Killingsworth. She's the director of our economic development corporation, Jason Lommer. He's our director of development services at the town of Littel Elm. And again, thank you for allowing us to present. It's always exciting for me to get to share what's going on with the town a little elm. It's such an exciting place and one of my favorite topics to discuss is the Lakefront District. And so I just want to go through briefly and talk about some of the items that are going on in this district and why we feel this is an important component of our community, the future of our community. Just some fast facts about the town a little long. We're estimated to build out at about 90,000. That takes into account a lot of different variables, but that's the total build out that we're projecting. We've got the most shoreline of any community in Dallas, Fort Worth. Depending on how you look at it, it's either 26 or 660. Depends on how many of the little coves and curves you count. But we are one of the faster growing communities in the nation. In 1990, we had a population of only about 1,000 people. Today with our ETJ, we're over 40,000. We've had nearly 650% growth rate over the past decade. And the thing that's unique about us is that we're very, very heavily residential. We're primarily a residential community. We've got some limited areas for commercial growth, and then, and that's about it. So we're very, very one-sided on the type of development that we have. This is something I'm sure you're all familiar with. This is the Lewisville Lake Courthor Project. Right now, under construction in our community is phases 45 and six, which are the last phases of this project. Upon completion of this in the fall or winter of next year, or this year, excuse me, fall or winter of this year, it'll be unimpeded great access all the way from I-35 to McKinney. So this is something that's definitely changing the face of our community and bringing a lot of opportunity and excitement to the town. And with that, along that Lewis fell like corridor is the Lake Front in Little Elbe. And I want to talk a little bit about it. You can kind of see the outline of what we consider our Lake Front districts. But it's something that we feel defines us. We feel that every town needs something that really defines them. And the benefits of our like front is that it helps redevelop an existing area, one of the older areas of the community that has some older homes, some substandard areas. It really helps us redevelop. It really helps us find an area, you know, because of our lack of land for a developerable industry, this is kind of something that we feel brings a niche to us. It improves our property values and we're hoping to create a staycation type environment for the Denton County area in the region. We wanted to help contribute to the positive reputation of the region. We feel that it's going gonna be a great entertainment district and also improve and contribute to the quality of life for the little alone residents. And if you can kind of see this map, this kind of is a brought over view of some of the various plans that are in place in the Lakefront District, just overlaid on the map. In the main street area, we have our Hydrus Wakeboard Park. This is open, this has been up and running for about the middle of last summer now. This is the second location that this group has in DFW. The first location is in Allen. And their Allen location, they sell about 300 passes a day. So about 300 folks a day are coming to this facility. We're excited to see our numbers this summer. As I said, they didn't get open until about halfway through last summer. So we're excited to see what a this summer as I said they didn't get open till about halfway through last summer. So we're excited to see what a full summer will bring. And then also in the Main Street area, it's a destination for mixed use residential and retail, restaurants, and a future hotel and conference center. There's just some pictures of the Hydra's Wake Park. You can see it's very quality development. And there's a lot of people that are out there having fun. It's kind of crazy when I go out there in December and I see kids in wet suits in the water jumping on ramps that are dedicated. I think the only group I've seen that's more dedicated to the Frisbee golfers that we see at McCord Park. We've got a very exciting restaurant coming to the Main Street area. It's the Hula Hut, if you're familiar with the Hula Hut area down in Austin. It's the premier lake front restaurant in the Austin area right down there by the University of Texas and the capital downtown. We think that it's unique to our areas. This will only be Hula Hut's second location. So this is something that you can't just get off any on ramp on the interstate and go visit. This is going to be really unique to Dallas Fort Worth. We think it will draw a lot of people to the community. This is a rendering of the apartments and the mixed use development that's going to be going across from the Hydros and the Hula Hut. It's got kind of that Caribbean feel, you know, we really want to bring, you know, we really want to maximize on the Lakefront attitude and kind of give it a water and a tropical theme. This is our senior center. This is a recently completed project. It's been open about two years. It opened just a little bit before I got there. I just miss getting my name on the plaque by about two months. But this is something that's new to the area. We get great visitation from the seniors in our community. And then right next to it is our recreation center. It's got a gym for basketball. it's got community center space for crafts and day camps for children in a small workout room. Beard Park is also in the lake front. And if you've been the little ominer familiar, you've probably heard about the historic post office of the little old log cabin where they used to have Christmas celebrations. And we've, we're going through the process of, we've taken the cabin apart piece by piece and we're in the process of, of re, visioning this park. There's going to be a historic village with some walking trails and pavilions and a naturally themed playground. Something that will be really unique to the area. We also plan to possibly locate our farmers market in that area and have some of the history brought into Little Lone. The Little Lone Park is the other very exciting park project that's going on in the area. We also think that this is going to be one of the major draws. As you can see by the picture, it's going to have a large beach. It's going to have, I think, I haven't been to every beach in the Metroplex, but I can't see that there's going to be one larger than this. We're expanding the size of our existing beach by about four times and then relocating the boat ramp. Along with that projects, we'll come eight new sand volleyball courts. So we hope to bring tournaments to the area. You know, volleyball tournaments along with some bass fishing tournaments and those sort of things. And then eventually put in a splash pad and kind of themed destination playground. You know, we're looking at kind of a pirate's theme to go along with the Lakefront attitude. Cottonwood Park is also in our Lakefront district. This is our youth sports location. It's got a fourplex of soft, youth baseball fields. Cottonwood Creek Marina, which has been awarded as the Marina of the year, in 2004, 2007 and 2010. Very popular destination, great Marina. They're expanding, looking at adding a boat club to that facility. One of those kind of, you know, pay an annual fee and you, you know, you don't own the boat, you just have rights to it. So you pull up the boats sitting on the dock, gasped and ready for you to take it out. That's a new venture that they're exploring this year. In the future, we plan to expand our youth sports and land. Youth sports is extremely popular, as you all know, in North Texas. And as we grow, we're out growing the facilities we have, so there's land in that area to expand our youth sports facilities. And then to tie it all together to the rest of the community, we've recently received a grant from TechSdot for the Lakefront Trail. This will link our new park over on 423 in May in the McCord Park area that has some nice trails already. This will link this to Beard Park and then by linking it to Beard Park, Beard Park is already linked to Little Lone Park, so we'll have a trail system that runs all throughout the community to the Lakefront District. We have established Teres number three for the area, which makes up 847 acres. The town of Little Lone, we've participated with 100% of the incremental increase in property values, and 10% of the incremental increase in property values, and 10% of our 1% sales tax. And then in addition to what we've contributed and what we've dedicated in the TERS, we've also made large investments in infrastructure in the area. The Little Elm EDC has allocated 80% of their half-sense sales tax to the Lakefront TERS, and then the Little Elm CDC has dedicated 80% of its quarter-cent sales tax to the tours and they've made some large investments in the park projects that I was talking about a minute ago. From the county we're requesting participation as well. We're requesting a participation of 50% in the incremental increase in property values. The current property value in the TERS is close to $40 million. The proposed incremental increase in property value over the next 10 years is about $169 million. Our project plan, our long term project plan has a cost of over $60 million of investment in the area. And the TERS is expected to generate approximately 35 million. Any additional funding that would be needed for this project would obviously come from the town of Little Elm. The county's portion is proposed at 50% is estimated to be about $5.7 million or about 16% of the total project costs. In our agreement with the county that the town has already executed, we have put in that agreement that none of the county funds would be dedicated to parks and recreation amenities. The county funds would be if approved, would be dedicated to infrastructure and things that would serve the general public and we would have the other resources dedicated to the parks projects. Again, another map just as we can kind of see, it's got some dots on some of the highlights of where the projects are. And these are very small, so I won't go over kind of see. It's got some dots on some of the highlights of where the projects are. And these are very small, so I won't go over all of them, but basically it has a variety of different storm water projects, streets, landscaping, lighting projects, parking lots, working with the schools to improve some of the school facilities in the area, trails, and then parks are in the project plan again, none of the county funds would be dedicated to that. So I'm available to answer any questions. I've also got my staff that's a lot smarter than I am to answer questions as well. But I just wanted to take some time to thank Commissioner Marchant for assisting us in bringing this project to you. And then also thank Commissioner Coleman. He and we're fortunate enough to have two commissioners that serve our community. And both have just been amazing to work with and feel it has always had the best interest of our community and the Denton County residents. And so I wanted to thank you guys for your continued assistance and again, thank you for allowing us to come speak to you today. I have a couple of questions. Who's going to own that hotel? Who's going to own the hotel? Are we allowed to? Are you allowed to? I mean, it's not a city-owned hotel. No, no, it will not be a city-owned hotel. A town, I should say. We don't have a flag for the hotel yet. We don't know the brand. I just wanted to know if the town of Lillal was going to be in the hotel business. No, no, ma'am, no, we will not. We believe that. That's why I'm asking the private sector. And then the other question was, you mentioned about making improvements for the school district, specifically what's going on there? The school is in the process. There's currently an administrative complex, a middle school and an elementary school located in the light front district. The school is in the process of repurposing their elementary school. We wouldn't be doing any site specific work, just potentially infrastructure work in the area could benefit, you know, access to and from the schools. One of the projects that we've recently completed was a parking lot owned by the town that also serves as a bus drop-off and pick up for the kids that has allowed a safer. Okay. Are there any questions from other members of the Court? I'm not going to be building City Hall or anything with these things. There's no plans to build a new City Hall. We're happy where we are. Basically, one of my concerns and one of the things I really like about this, because traditionally I'm not a big fan of tours or anything, but much like the whole caterpillar problem that are the extra problem we had for a little amount is that y'all are kind of landlocked. Yes. A pure residential community and that's going to put you in a horrible tax mine at some point for the ability to provide basic services for your residents. Because y'all really just have homes in very little retail and virtually no industrial tax base. Correct. I think this is a good solution for that problem. I mean, it's good that y'all are being proactive in trying to think ahead, because when y'all finally get through growing and using your residential growth, y'all are gonna be in an attack spine to provide those services. We're looking ahead, I hope this is the solution. We hope so as well. As we went through a visioning and planning process with our council last year, that was one of the things that was kind of one of the brutal facts that we confronted is that things are going very well right now because of the growth. But when the growth stops, we're so one sided on our revenue, and we felt that the one thing that was unique about Little Lone was its lakefront location. And so that's certainly what we're trying to capitalize on. There any hope for bringing any industrial development to 380 at this point? And pretty much consumed by residential one, the special districts? There certainly could be industrial opportunities on 380. I just don't know that it would exist within our town limits. You know, where our borders, we don't have a lot of lands, you know, within our borders that I could see, you know, being enough for that type of development. Back to, I'm sorry, good name. Oh, that's it. Back to the hotel that you said, hotel and and conference center I just want to be sure we're not we are not contributing to the construction of the hotel and conference center that would be up to whatever developer wants to come in there and do it we would be contributing to the infrastructure around it. Correct. Yes. One of the firefighters that point Commissioner Mitchell. I would in reading the backup information and I understand that you probably did this contract early on but I was there was and I understand that you probably did this contract early on but I was there was and I can't find my page right now. It references the date to have a representative on the tours but in the contract it says 2013 that date. It needs to be updated. Yes. I believe if we adopt it we'll be able to appoint somebody at that point. That's what makes sure. We need it to have them adopted by December 2013. We just need 2014 or whatever. Change that in the contract. Thank you for reminding me of that. Is there anything else? Does anybody else have questions about it? I don't have any questions. I just want to make note that again, the, of course a lot of us have historical memories of little L and what it once was and what it has become. And with the connection of 820 or Eldorado Parkway, excuse me, 720. Eldorado Parkway, all the way from 35 now, all the way to 75. It could very, very easily be a causeway of people just moving from one place to the other. And what I believe this does for you is not only allows the residents who are primarily your tax base to stay there and spend their money there, but also those commuters that are moving from one location to the other to have a place to go to eat, to have recreation. I mean, I can remember many, many years ago the city of grapevine went through some kind of development. They didn't have a lot of commercial at the time. They had their main street downtown. What they had going for them though was hotel motel tax revenues from DFW Airport. They were sinking in over two to three million dollars a year for that and we all now Know what great vine means the DFW area and so they had some point had to have a catalyst from some governmental Group to help them get to where they are today and and I can see this nothing but a catalyst for For and that the county should invest in with a great return on taxpayers' dollars if you would. And you have in some other discussions basically addressed the issues that I thought were issues like funding park systems and that. I want to make sure that it's towards the infrastructure, that you use the other amounts that the TERS is going to generate that tax income for those other things and this will help you and accommodate you to do that. So I'm very excited about this project. I'm excited to drive through and see 720 going through and I'm sure a lot of people are. Where is the log cabin at? Right now the log cabin has been, I gotta, you know, give the official line. The log cabin has been carefully dismantled and numbered piece by piece and it's the way in safe storage. But then we look at the one. Now, right now it's, we had to take it apart. It was falling down. So it's been taken apart by a cabin specialist. It's in a storage container and whenever we get the new park platted it will be rebuilt. We have a few of the hosts. Yeah, we have a few projects. They were carefully disassembled in number of years. I'm familiar with that term. I have a barn in a barn. Where is the hotel? I'm looking at the state unit in nice job under presentation. Thank you, sir. Where is the marine for the hotel? The hotel would be on the, let's see, I'm going to get my bearings. It will be on the northeast corner of Maine and El Dorado. Is it on one of our illustrations here? Partments in the... I don't know that we've got a... I think it's actually on the side. It will be directly across from Hadras. Hadras. So it's not on the peninsula itself in the district, correct? Across from the High District. Right, it's across from Hadras. It's not, it will have water front, it will have water views, but it will not be on the waterfront. This is probably the best map that would show its location. And you can see the large pondonds, the large circular ponds, it'd be directly across the street from that, is the proposed hotel location. The language that I talked about is on page 250. Okay, okay. We make a note of that. 250. 250, page 250. I think getting half of the incremental increase over the next 10 years is going to be fantastic, particularly with a base of 49 million and then have it be 169 million. That's 50 percent of that is going to be definitely beneficial to the county. I still just can't get over it. My wife, when we first moved it and worked at the Little L elementary school there at doing special education and I used to meet her for lunch and the only place we could eat was at the Johnny Joes because I won't name the other place but that was a good place to get food poisoning. Meater at the Johnny Joes for lunch and boy it was a pain to get there you had to go all the way out 380 and then down to 720 and I just to see that whole area transform. Yeah, I go be great. Good that y'all are forward thinking and came up with a good idea because I've been very worried about that area with the tremendous growth and residential and frankly there's very few industrial or other jobs for that community to work at, causes huge, insular population, I mean, playing problems with getting that population to work in Dallas. Right. Before we vote, I always want to commend the town for being thoughtful about their planning and mixing open space and public space with your elements and your residential and your educational institutions because I think it's that it makes the project more viable to have open space and as an amenity and you're making the most of your largest amenity which is like Lewisville but to help people engage with those public open spaces that that leaves for quality development. So I appreciate that. Okay, are there any other questions or comments? Okay, we don't really need to take action on 3B.
