“Let me wind it up with this. I see an existing comprehensive plan has already established a standard of 10 acres of parkland per 1,000 residents. So I don't think the question is, do we need parks? The question is, what parks do we need? Where do we need them? And what's the best way to use the assets and dollars we already have? That's why I think the ABA... evaluation that is extremely important okay to us because they laid out a very good plan to us aba told us our parks are one of the most valuable assets that we have okay uh they identified the waterfront they identify arts and crafts…”

“Well, when you just, I'm sorry, I used the bad term. I won't say willy-nilly, but just pull a figure out and say we're going to allocate this kind of money just with no analysis, no data to back it up and anything. That's what's really needed.

“Well, the thing is, like I said, I went back and I looked at ABA report, and they specifically really hammered wellness way as a great opportunity. Okay. So I don't want to miss out on the opportunity, just like they talked about waterfront.

A lot of them. And…”

“Okay. And the last thing I really have – well, I have – well – I attended a Quilts for Valor ceremony last Friday out at Southlake High School. That was very touching. You know, of course, I've actually received a Quilt of Valor a couple years ago, but I actually go there to witness ceremony, and I guess the biggest thing about that was I was in the auditorium as a battalion of sea cadets, young sea cadets, about 50 or 60 of them sitting there watching the ceremony, and it was very touching to hear them come up afterwards and say, and see what they had to say about it because their commander,…”
