“Yeah. All right. So we're pulling F7 and F9. F10, consider a resolution entering an interlocal agreement with the City of Southlake for the alter Yeah, so 875,000 for the design and engineering. That's just our share, yes sir. Yeah, I was talking about it with someone today. I said, we don't really get excited when a little water comes out of our faucet, but we get excited when it doesn't. And this is a project that we've been literally deliberating on since I joined in 2020. So the fact that you can get started on this work, generational work, so exciting.

“that's what I'd like to do so we can notice it again and then people can come in for a public notice on that so it's been it's been publicly noticed I know but we can't speak to the contract so or any of that well I mean if you guys don't want to hear the item tonight we don't have to have chief fortune I mean it does give me a little bit of pause just because we set the expectation with our eyes that residents that we were having the conversation tonight and it's on I would think we would do the work session item. That's just normal protocol. I've never actually tabled a work session item.”

“can do that during the public notice and then we can ask it to the chief and so I mean I'll just as far as the resolution goes I mean that's an item that we can vote on or not but as far as the work session goes I think we should hear the presentation because that's the expectation our residents have that's fine I made a motion so I'd prefer to if council doesn't want to but we don't vote on what to put on the work session like that's something that you know two council members and the mayor can add item that any of you want to hear on a work session item. I just think it's our obligation to…”

“Yeah, so anytime. That's a great question. I've done this plenty of times, and we all can and should. If there's an item on consent agenda that any one of us want pulled from consent just to have further discussion in an independent vote, items on there where like for example in this situation if we go through the work session item and there's not consensus on it then the only logical conclusion is to pull it from consent does it make sense from a procedural perspective yeah so all you do in that situation is we just pull it and I'll do my motion to table out there I was just trying to save…”

“That is age 6, 7, and 8. If you guys have any questions on 6, 7, and 8 at this point after as many budget discussions we've had, then I'm joking. Any questions?
