THANK YOU. GOOD AFTERNOON, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.THIS IS MY FIRST OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL, SO I REALLY APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TODAY AND IT'S A REAL INSPIRATION TO SEE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE GIVEN SUCH SERVICE TO THE CITY AND CITIZENS. MY NAME IS SAM JAEGER. THE THIRD I'M PRESIDENT OF SAM JAEGER INCORPORATED. I'M HERE TODAY REPRESENTING PLOW REALTY LP. I'M HERE TO REPRESENT THEM ON THE CREATION OF A MUNICIPAL MANAGEMENT DISTRICT. UNDER ITEMS FIVE AND SIX. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE TODAY. THE PROPERTY JUST SO YOU KNOW, IS LOCATED AT THE CONFLUENCE OF DELAWARE AND DALLIN AND GLADYS. AND MY GOAL AND OBJECTIVE IS TO ADD TO MOVE FORWARD WITH A WITH THIS CREATION SO THAT WE CAN MOVE TO THE NEXT STEPS WITH THE DRAINAGE DISTRICT. CONSIDER THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER GETS. WELCOME TO BANG WA AND I'M THRILLED TO HAVE YOU LOOK AT BEAUMONT AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE WHAT I UNDERSTAND TO BE A MASTER PLANNED COMMUNITY. COULD YOU ELABORATE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE OBJECTIVES AND DESIGNS. I'VE LOOKED AT YOUR WEBSITE AND I'VE SEEN SOME OF THE PROJECTS THAT YOU'VE DONE IN THE HOUSTON AREA, WHICH ARE VERY IMPRESSIVE. WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS IN BEAUMONT? ASSUMING THAT THIS GOES FORWARD? I APPRECIATE THAT QUESTION. I'M JUST GIVE YOU A LITTLE BACKGROUND WERE LAND DEVELOPMENT GROUP OUT OF HOUSTON , TEXAS BASED WE DO DO MASTER PLAN SUBDIVISIONS IN THE CITY OF HOUSTON. OUR PLAN FOR THIS PROPERTY IS TO CONTINUE WITH THE ENTITLEMENT WORK THAT WE ARE.
THIS IS PART OF THIS IS THE FIRST STEP IN THAT PROCESS. WE'VE ALREADY MET WITH THE DRAINAGE DISTRICT AS WELL. AND WE HAVE SOME AGREEMENTS WITH THE DRAINAGE DISTRICT THAT WE'RE WORKING THROUGH. BUT GOALS AND OBJECTIVES ARE TO HOPEFULLY WORK WITH THE CITY KIND OF HAND IN GLOVE AND FIND A WAY TO BUILD A VALUE PROPOSITION IN THIS COMMUNITY. THAT THAT IS SOMETHING EVERYBODY CAN BE PROUD OF. YOU KNOW, OUR GOAL IS TO BRING OUR EXPERTISE IN MASTER PLAN DEVELOPMENT TO THE CITY. AND TO TRY TO FIND WAYS TO WORK WITH THE CITY TO LEVERAGE THAT AND CREATE HISTORIC VALUE FOR THE CITY. AND FOR THE CITIZENS. WOULD YOU BE WORKING WITH LOCAL BUILDERS? OR DO YOU HAVE YOUR OWN BUILDERS THAT YOU BRING IN OR HOW DOES THAT WORK PRETTY EARLY IN THE PROCESS TO MAKE THAT DECISION, BUT I THINK WE'D BE OPEN TO ALL OF THOSE THINGS.
ONE OF THE THINGS WE ARE FOCUSED ON AND THESE TYPES OF COMMUNITIES, HIS MEETING CERTAIN ARCHITECTURAL STYLES AND DRAMATICS. AMENITIES WERE FOCUSED ON MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF THINGS THAT ADD VALUE TO COMMUNITIES. AND SO FOR US, IT'S GOING TO BE ABOUT WHAT THE RIGHT FIT IS. FOR THIS PARTICULAR COMMUNITY, AND THAT MAY INCLUDE LOCAL AND IT MAY INCLUDE SOME THAT COME FROM OUTSIDE THE COMMUNITY, BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, YOU KNOW THE GOAL AND OBJECTIVE IS TO BRING THE RIGHT FIT TO THE SUBDIVISION IN THE COMMUNITY. AND LOOKING AT SOME OF THE OTHER PROJECTS THAT YOU'VE DONE. I'VE SEEN AMENITIES SUCH AS, UH, GREENBELTS BIKE TRAILS. UH LOCAL NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS, UH, LIKES ALL KINDS OF THINGS LIKE THAT IS. IS THAT PART OF THE ANTICIPATION? I KNOW WE'RE SUPER SUPER EARLY AND I DON'T WANT TO GET THE CART. YOU KNOW HOW THE HEAD OF THE HORSE BUT ARE THERE ARE THOSE TYPE OF THINGS THAT YOU TYPICALLY DO? YES I MEAN, AND TYPICAL MASTER PLAN DEVELOPMENT IN HOUSTON. WE DO THINGS LIKE CREATE MUNICIPAL MANAGEMENT DISTRICTS AND MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICTS. TO HELP US WITH PUBLIC FINANCING OF FACILITIES LIKE YOU'RE DISCUSSING SO RECREATIONAL FACILITIES, DRAINAGE FACILITIES , WATER AND SEWER FACILITIES, AND THEY'RE CRITICAL TO BEING ABLE TO DELIVER THAT TYPE OF CALIBER OF A COMMUNITY. ALRIGHT MOST SUBDIVISIONS IN HOUSTON ARE BUILT WITH THAT MODEL AND AS YOU CAN, AS YOU PROBABLY SEEN OVER THE YEARS OVER THE LAST 20 YEARS SINCE RECREATIONAL IMPROVEMENTS BECAME PART OF THE PROPERTY THAT CAN BE PART OF THE COST THAT CAN BE FINANCIALLY THAT THE NUMBER OF RECREATIONAL FACILITIES AND THE TYPES OF RECREATIONAL FACILITIES THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO THE RESIDENTS OF THE COMMUNITY HAS GONE WAY UP AND THE QUALITY OF THESE COMMUNITIES HAS GONE WAY UP AS A RESULT, AND SO WE WANT TO BRING ALL THAT EXPERTISE . THIS IS LIKE YOU SAID, THE FIRST STEP IN THAT PROCESS, AND I DON'T WANT TO GET TOO FAR OUT AHEAD BECAUSE WE HAVE TO RUN ECONOMICS AND WE HAVE TO WORK WITH THE DRAINAGE DISTRICT AND WORK WITH OTHER PARTS. TO RUN THROUGH THE FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS, BUT IN OUR GOALS AND OBJECTIVES ARE ALONG THE LINES
[00:40:01]
OF WHAT YOU DISCUSSED, WHICH IS TO TRY TO FIND WAYS TO BRING HIGH VALUE TO THE PROPERTY AND HAVE IT BE, YOU KNOW, A STORE OF VALUE. THAT THAT LAST WELL BEYOND THE DEVELOPMENT QUESTION I HAVE IS THAT PART OF THE SITE THAT YOU'RE ACQUIRING HAS INCREDIBLY GREAT COMMERCIAL POTENTIAL. ALONG DALLIN ALONE. DELAWARE WOULD COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT SOMEWHERE DOWN THE LINE. BE SOMETHING YOU WOULD LOOK TO DO. ABSOLUTELY I THINK YOU KNOW WHEN LOOKING AT THE AREAS ALONG DELAWARE AND DALLIN. THERE'S CERTAINLY UM THERE'S AN A G B DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET. THERE ARE SEVERAL BANKS ACROSS THE STREET, LOTS OF PAD DEVELOPMENT. THAT'S THERE. AND SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE TALKED TO MR BOONE ABOUT WAS COMING BACK TO THE CITY TO TALK ABOUT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS AND OTHER THINGS THAT WILL FACILITATE THAT TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT. THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT WE WILL NEED TO VISIT WITH THE CITY ABOUT TO WORK WITH THE CITY TO TRY TO DELIVER THIS TYPE OF COMMUNITY. I THINK IT WOULD BE ONE OF THE FIRST ONES THAT THE CITY OF BEAUMONT REALLY HAS EXPERIENCED AND SO THERE'LL BE SOME DIFFERENT THINGS THAT WILL APPROACH YOU WITH THAT ARE CONVENTIONAL THINGS THAT WE USE ALL THE TIME IN HOUSTON, BUT SOMETHING THAT WE'RE HAPPY TO WORK WITH THE CITY ON AND EDUCATE THE CITY ON AND TRY TO FIND WAYS THAT WE CAN WORK WITH THE CITY AND A WIN WIN.SITUATION. THANK YOU, MR JAGGER. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER TURNER. FIRST AND FOREMOST WELCOME BOMA, AND I'M A PIGGYBACK OFF WITH MIKE SAID, AND FIRST AND FOREMOST, I ALSO LIKE THE FACT THAT IT'S THE FIRST ONE, BUT WE'RE LOOKING TO DO MANY MORE THINGS. WE'RE LOOKING TO GROW BEAUMONT SO WELCOME. MY QUESTION WAS FOR THE CITIZENS THAT'S WATCHING THAT ARE INTERESTED IN WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THIS PROJECT. I KNOW YOU GUYS HAVE A WEBSITE. IS IT POSSIBLE THAT WE CAN SAY THE WEBSITE TO THE COMMUNITY SO THEY CAN GO LOOK AT SOME OF THE OTHER PROJECTS YOU GUYS DONE IN THE PAST. MY WEBSITE FOR MY COMPANY IS SAM JAEGER INC .COM. BUT WE WILL HAVE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AS WE GET DEVELOPMENT DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND WORK WITH THE CITY ON A PLAN AND GET TO A POINT WHERE WE CAN. WE CAN PUT THAT FORWARD. THE COMMUNITY ITSELF WOULD HAVE A WEBSITE. THAT WE WOULD PUT OUT THERE, AND THAT'S PRETTY TYPICAL FOR SOME OF OUR OTHER COMMUNITIES. ANOTHER COMMUNITY OF MINE IS AUDUBON LIVING .COM. IT'S A 3000 ACRE MASTER PLAN THAT I HAVE IN THE CITY OF MAGNOLIA, WHICH IS SMALLER TOWN IN THE NORTHWEST SIDE OF HOUSTON. HAVE ANOTHER ONE. THAT'S HARPER'S PRESERVED DOT COM, WHICH IS RIGHT NEXT TO THE WOODLANDS ON THE EAST SIDE OF I 45 WE HAVE A NEW PROJECT THAT JUST LAUNCHED THE WEBSITE, WHICH IS FULL, SIR LAKES .COM NEAR THE CITY OF FOLDER, SO IF YOU WANTED TO SEE EXAMPLES OF OUR TYPE OF OUR COMMUNITIES THAT WE'RE DOING RIGHT NOW, WITH THE TYPES OF ENTITIES THAT COUNCIL MEMBER GETS MENTIONED, YOU COULD LOOK AT ANY ONE OF THOSE WEBSITES AND THOSE WOULD BE GOOD REPRESENTATIONS OF THE TYPES OF WORK THAT WE DO. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER DIARRHEA. YES IT'S A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS FOR MYSELF AND THE CITIZENS. CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHAT EXACTLY IS, UH, MUNICIPAL MANAGEMENT DISTRICT AND WHAT'S THE ADVANTAGE TO THE CITY OF BEAUMONT? TO CREATING ONE SO MUNICIPAL MANAGEMENT DISTRICT OR MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT, EITHER ONE OF THOSE IS REALLY AN OVERLAPPING PUBLIC FINANCING VEHICLE SO SIMILAR TO A PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT OR OTHER DISTRICT THAT COLLECTS ITS OWN TAXES. USES THE VALUE THAT WE CREATE WITHIN OUR DISTRICT TO SELL BONDS TO REIMBURSE US FOR INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WE'RE GOING TO BUILD, SO WE HAVE TO EARN THAT REIMBURSEMENT. WHEN I MEAN BY EARN IS WE HAVE TO PUT THE LOTS ON THE GROUND. WE HAVE TO DEVELOP THE HOMES. WE HAVE TO CREATE THE TAXABLE VALUES AND WE CAN ONLY REALLY SELL THE BONDS ONCE WE'VE DONE THAT, SO WE, YOU KNOW, IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO US TO BE SUCCESSFUL BECAUSE OUR REIMBURSEMENT IS TIED UP. IN OUR ABILITY TO EXECUTE AND MOST MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICTS AND MANAGEMENT DISTRICTS THAT ARE USED IN THE CITY OF HOUSTON, FOR EXAMPLE, FOR MASTER PLANNED DEVELOPMENTS. THEY ASSIST US AND BASICALLY BUILDING A BETTER COMMUNITY SO WE CAN FINANCE WATER, SEWER DRAINAGE. WE CAN FINANCE ROADWAY SYSTEMS AND WE CAN FINANCE PARK AND RECREATIONAL FACILITIES. UH THAT IS ALL LIMITED BY THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF VALUE THAT WE CAN CREATE WITHIN THE DISTRICT AND SO BACK TO THE COUNCIL MEMBERS POINT HAVING HIGHER VALUE COMMERCIAL AND OTHER HIGHER VALUE USES IN THE PROPERTY HELPS US WITH THAT. EXERCISE BECAUSE THAT VALUE IS DISPROPORTIONATE TO THE COST TO DEVELOP IT. SO WHEN YOU BUILD A SHOPPING CENTER, IT'S NOT AS IT'S NOT AS COST INTENSIVE AS IT IS WHEN WE PUT LOTS AND STREETS ON THE GROUND, AND SO IT HELPS US WITH BALANCE THOSE TWO THOSE ISSUES OUT. AND SO IN TERMS OF THE BENEFIT TO THE CITY. WELL, IT'S THE GREAT THING ABOUT IT IS IT'S SELF FINANCED. SO THE CITY IS NOT FINANCING THAT INFRASTRUCTURE. ULTIMATELY, THE CENTER OF THE CITY WILL BE THE BENEFICIARY OF IT. BECAUSE ALL THE WATER AND SEWER WE WILL BE, UM, YOU KNOW, USING THE CITY'S WATER AND SEWERAGE SYSTEM, BUT WILL BE BUILDING THOSE LINES AND FINANCING THOSE LINES THROUGH THE TAXABLE VALUES THAT WE CREATE. AND THE CITY WILL STILL BE COLLECTING PROPERTY TAXES AND STUFF LIKE THAT. IT DOESN'T IMPACT THE CITY'S ABILITY TO COLLECT TAXES. THIS IS LITERALLY AN OVERLAPPING, UH, DISTRICT, SO THE CITY'S TAX COLLECTIONS AND
[00:45:06]
OTHER THINGS WILL CONTINUE TO OPERATE THE SAME WAY. WHEN WE MET WITH CITY STAFF ON THIS, WE THEY ASKED US QUESTIONS ABOUT THE WATER SERVICE SYSTEM AND AGAIN WILL BE USING CITY SERVICES IN THE CITY WILL CONTINUE TO DO THE THINGS THAT IT DOES NOW, WHICH IS TO SUPPLY WATER AND SEWER SERVICES. THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME. COUNCIL MEMBER TURNER SORRY. LAST QUESTION WHEN CITIZENS HEAR THE WORD BUN, A LOT OF CITIZENS. I JUST WANTED TO BE CONFUSING, IF ACTUALLY THE PROPERTY THAT WOULD BE INSIDE OF THE DISTRICT. CORRECT IT'S NOT THE WHOLE CITY PROPERTY INSIDE OF THE DISTRICT. THE DISTRICT WILL HAVE A BOUNDARY THAT WILL COVER THE 365 ACRE TRACK. THAT BOUNDARY IS WHERE THAT TAXING TAXING AUTHORITY IS SO YES, THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN THAT OUR COMMUNITY AND OR THE COMMERCIAL BUSINESSES THAT ARE IN THAT THAT 365 ACRE PARCEL WILL BE THE ONES THAT WILL BE TAXED AND WE'RE THE ONES THAT WILL FINANCE THAT BOND INFRASTRUCTURE. THAT'S NORMALLY HOW THAT'S DONE. AND THEY ARE AWARE OF THAT BECAUSE THERE ARE NOTICES AND OTHER THINGS THAT WE RE FILE WHEN WE SELL PROPERTY TO MAKE THEM AWARE OF THAT. WE ALSO POST THAT ON OUR WEBSITES TYPICALLY SO THERE'S A LOT OF DISCLOSURE THAT GOES AROUND THAT, BUT THEY ALSO THE RECIPIENTS OF ALL THE BENEFITS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, WHICH IS THE HIGHER VALUES, THE AMENITIES AND THE OTHER THINGS THAT GO WITH BEING PART. YES, SIR. I JUST WANTED CLARITY. YOU KNOW, WHEN PEOPLE HEAR IT? I JUST DIDN'T WANT ANY CONFUSION. BUT THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I HAVE A QUESTION AND I'M GOING TO COME BACK TO YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER GETS AND THEN COUNCIL MEMBER DORIA. DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY HOMES WOULD BE IN THAT TRACK OF LAND? I DON'T CURRENTLY WE ARE AGAIN WORKING WITH THE DRAINAGE DISTRICT ON THINGS LIKE DETENTION AND DRAINAGE, AND SO THAT WILL TAKE UP SOME PORTION OF THE AREA. THERE'S ALREADY SOME DRAINAGE FACILITIES ON THE PROPERTY. WE WILL HAVE TO WORK THROUGH STREETS AND UTILITIES AND DO LAND PLANNING. ALL THAT WILL COME LATER AS WE GO THROUGH THE PROCESS, SO IT'LL BE SOMETHING THAT WE WILL START TO WORK THROUGH, AND WE'LL HAVE TO COME BACK TO THE CITY. AT A FUTURE POINT AND TALK TO THE CITY ABOUT YOU KNOW OTHER THINGS DEVELOPMENT ISSUES THAT WE NEED TO WORK THROUGH SO THAT WE CAN EXECUTE THE PLAN THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, AND THERE'LL BE MORE DETAILS THAT SORT OF COME WITH THAT PROCESS. SO I DON'T MEAN TO BE VAGUE ABOUT IT, BUT WE ARE EARLY. THIS IS SORT OF A FIRST STEP IN THE PROCESS. IT'S HARD TO PUT A PLAN TOGETHER TO IDENTIFY THOSE THINGS WITHOUT FULLY UNDERSTANDING. WHAT WHAT'S AVAILABLE TO US IN TERMS OF THE PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE AND FINANCING THAT MIGHT BE AVAILABLE BECAUSE THAT WOULD CHANGE THE PLAN DRAMATICALLY. SO IF WE CAN HAVE THIS MANAGEMENT DISTRICT, FOR EXAMPLE THAN WE KNOW WE CAN FINANCE DIFFERENT THINGS DIFFERENT WAYS, AND WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO DEVELOP THE PROPERTY DIFFERENTLY. AND SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE TALKED TO THE DRAINAGE DISTRICT. WE TALKED TO THE CITY AND WE REACH OUT TO EVERYBODY EARLY SO THAT WE CAN FIGURE OUT HOW OLD THOSE THINGS WILL WORK AND THEN TRY TO PUT A PLAN TOGETHER THAT WORKS WITH WITH ALL THE LIMITATIONS THAT WE WILL HAVE AS WE GO FORWARD. THANK YOU, COUNCILOR MEMBER GET MR YOGA. I'M LOOKING TO THE FUTURE AND I KNOW IT'S EARLY. I'M ANTICIPATING THAT WHAT'S THIS PROJECT IS COMPLETE , AND THERE'S HUNDREDS OF NEW HOMES OUT THERE. THERE MAY BE A NEED FOR NEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND I SEE WHAT OUR SCHOOL BOARD TRUSTEES HERE IN THE AUDIENCE TONIGHT TODAY. DENISE AND SO.DOES YOUR COMPANY EVER SET ASIDE PROPERTY FOR A SCHOOL OR DO WE JUST LOOKED AT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT TO MAYBE A ACQUIRE SOME PROPERTY IN YOUR BODY TO SERVICE THE NEEDS SHOULD THAT BE THE CASE AND THEN IN THE FUTURE, SO NORMALLY WILL REACH OUT TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND SORT OF ONCE WE UNDERSTAND HOW MANY HOUSES AND RESIDENTIAL UNITS THAT WE THINK WE MIGHT HAVE.
WE'LL LET THEM KNOW THEY OBVIOUSLY HAVE THEIR OWN DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION. AND THERE TRYING TO MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT YOU KNOW WHERE THEY ARE IN THE LIFE CYCLE OF VARIOUS SCHOOLS. AND WHAT THEIR CAPACITY IS. WE JUST RECENTLY SOLD A SCHOOL TO MAKE, UM MAGNOLIA SD FOR AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN OUR AUTOBAHN PROJECT. I JUST DID ANOTHER ONE WITH LAMAR S D AND OUR CULTURE. LAKES PROJECTS SO WE'RE SORT OF PROACTIVE ON THAT FRONT. UM, AND AT THE END OF THE DAY, A LOT OF THAT GETS DOWN TO YOU KNOW WHAT'S THE RIGHT ANSWER FOR THE SCHOOL AND WHAT'S THE RIGHT ANSWER FOR THE DEVELOPMENT? THERE'S OBVIOUSLY VALUE AND HAVING A SCHOOL VERY NEARBY. ONE OF OUR DEVELOPMENTS , AND I THINK WE DO HAVE A SCHOOL THAT'S FAIRLY CLOSE. IF I WERE IF I RECALL CORRECTLY, BUT BUT, YES. YOU KNOW THOSE THOSE ARE THINGS THAT WE REACH OUT AND TALK ABOUT. WE ALSO HAVE A FIRE STATION. I THINK THAT'S PRETTY CLOSE TO THE SITE AND A PARK. SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE PROBABLY WILL BE THINKING ABOUT, AS WE'RE DOING THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN IS HOW WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO CONNECT TO THOSE THINGS SO THAT YOU KNOW THERE'S WALK ABILITY AND THERE'S OTHER THINGS THAT WE CAN KIND OF TIE THOSE EXISTING ASSETS. THE CITY HAS TOGETHER WITH THE DEVELOPMENT AND REALLY BUILD VALUE IN IN WHERE PEOPLE ARE GONNA LIVE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, COUNCILOR MEMBER DORIA. YOU DON'T HAVE, UH, SAID THE BOUNDARIES OF IT, BUT THERE IS NO WESTERN BOUNDARY. HOW FAR WEST DOES IT GO? BECAUSE THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN THAT AREA ALREADY, AND I'M WONDERING HOW THAT WOULD AFFECT THE FOLKS THAT ALREADY LIVED THERE. HOW FAR WEST WOULD THIS GO? SO, UM DELAWARE IS A STREET THAT CONNECTS GLADYS AND DALLIN,
[00:50:04]
AND IT RUNS KIND OF IN A SEMICIRCLE. SO DELAWARE IS THE WESTERN BOUNDARY FOR ALL BUT ABOUT 11 ACRES. THERE'S ONE TRACK THAT'S ON THE OTHER SIDE ON THE WEST SIDE OF DELAWARE.THAT IS, UM, THAT THAT IS OWNED BY THIS GREAT. BUT BEYOND THAT, IT'S BOUNDED BY REALLY, YOU KNOW, SORT OF GLADYS, DELAWARE AND DOWN THERE'S A MAJOR DRIVE. NO, SIR. NOBODY ALREADY LIVES IN THIS TRACK THAT Y'ALL ARE SETTING UP THIS. NOBODY LIVES IN THE TRACK, WHICH WHICH ACTUALLY PRECIPITATES ITEM SIX ON THE AGENDA, WHICH IS NOR TO MEET THE REGULATIONS FOR ELECTIONS FROM THE STATE OF TEXANS. WE NEED TO HAVE A COUPLE OF VOTERS. THAT WILL VOTE BONDS ULTIMATELY IN THE PROJECT, AND SO WE'VE WE'VE WE'VE APPROACHED THE CITY ABOUT THAT, AND WE'LL NEED CONSENT FROM THE CITY TO ALLOW FOR A COUPLE OF TEMPORARY MOBILE HOMES AND THERE SO THAT WE CAN HAVE REGISTERED VOTERS THAT CAN THEY CAN VOTE THE BONDS FOR THE MANAGEMENT DISTRICT IN ORDER TO MEET TEXAS ELECTION LAW. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. THAT'S ALL I HAVE IN HERE. THANK YOU. AT THIS TIME, I WILL CALL FOR APPROVAL OF THE CONSENT AGENDA.
