I'm so glad you are enjoying it, and I'm glad you enjoy the songs as well. Led Zeppelin is one of the greatest rock bands of all time!

What ever happened to the approved project for licensing, permitting and inspections solution? I've heard terrible stories of Vivid GovTech from other cities - is this project at risk?

I agree.

As a citizen of Garland, I do NOT want to see restrictions on a TIF Board member more stringent than those for a Council Member.

Selecting commission/board members should be based on one's interest in serving - not necessarily expertise.

Furthermore, I agree that having a Council Member on the TIF board would hinder discussions and proposals.

As you said, the City Council has the final vote to approve or disapprove recommendations from the board.

Thank you for these Work Session notes.

Thank you for this report, Councilman Hedrick!

I'm hopeful our first responders will get the aid and support they need. I can only imagine how hard it is to have to work to protect and serve us on a daily basis.

I agree with you on the matter about qualifications of being on a TIF board. In my experience, just because someone has technical skills doesn't mean they have other skills needed for some tasks.

Also, I do enjoy the songs you introduce me to and they have found their way into my playlists.
