IT'S SO ECHO EVERYTHING THEY SAID, AND YOU KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO BE WELL MISSED, AND WE APPRECIATE EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE.

IT'S ALL CONFIDENTIAL AND PRIVILEGED. WHATEVER YOU SAY SO SHOULD BE FUN RIGHT HERE. I WOULD BE INTERESTING TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT YOUR SECURITY OF SERVICE. WHAT PERCENTAGE OF PROSPER EVEN A PART OF PLANNING OR ZONING BECAUSE I BET IT'S PRETTY HEFTY. AND YOU LOOK AT SOME OF OUR MOST SUCCESSFUL DEVELOPMENT. YOU'VE HAD A HAND IN IT. YOU KNOW IF YOU GO BACK SINCE 2017 SOME OF THE LARGE THINGS THAT HAVE PRODUCED SOME ECONOMIC ADVANTAGE OF THE TOWN JUST IN TERMS OF TAX BASE, BUT ALSO SOME OF THE MAJOR THOROUGHFARES AND SOME OF THE MAJOR DEVELOPMENTS YOU HATE.
YOU'VE HAD A STEADY HAND IN IT, AND IT WAS FUNNY. YEAH WE TALKED LIKE MAN. JUST THE INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE ALONE WILL BE MISSED. RIGHT? SO BRANDON, NO PRESSURE, BUT I WOULD SAY WHAT I ADMIRE THAT THE TIME HAS BEEN WITH YOU IS JUST YOUR CANDOR. PEOPLE KNOW EXACTLY WHERE YOU STAND. AND I RESPECT THAT BECAUSE THERE'S SOMETHING THAT YOU'RE LIKE. YES, THIS IS GOOD.

I'M SURE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT, BUT LET US KNOW ADVICE, BUT I WISH YOU NOTHING BUT THE BEST SUCCESSFUL MOVE FORWARD, SO IT'S BEEN FUN TO WATCH YOU. YOU KNOW WHAT I WAS THINKING ABOUT YOU GUYS AFTER OUR LAST MEETING, AND THE ONE THING THAT REALLY KEPT COMING BACK TO ME. WHAT THE LAST AGENDA ITEM WE HAD WERE THE CITIZENS STOOD UP AND WAS VERY UPSET ABOUT SOME OF THE DECISIONS WE WERE MAKING, AND SHE'S LIKE THAT THIS IS NOT THE PROSPER. WE MOVED INTO AND I APPRECIATE HER SENTIMENT, AND I THINK ONE OF THE CHALLENGES YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO FACE MOVING FORWARD IS YES, THE PROSPER THAT YOU MOVED INTO IS NOT THE SAME PRICE FOR THAT WE LIVE IN TODAY AND WE ALL WANTED TO KEEP IT THAT WAY. BUT WITH MORE HOMES WITH MORE PEOPLE . THERE COMES A NEED FOR INFRASTRUCTURE. THERE COMES A NEED FOR THE POLICE AND THE FIRE AND TO GIVE YOU TO CONTINUE TO GIVE YOU THE CITIZENS PROSPER THAT, YOU KNOW AND EXPECT AND LOVE. UNFORTUNATELY THINGS HAVE TO CHANGE THE THINGS THAT YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE ON THE TOLLWAY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO COME AND YOU GUYS ARE GONNA HAVE A LOT OF CHALLENGES OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS IN THAT BECAUSE PROSPER IS CHANGING. IT CAN STILL KEEP IT.
YEAH COURSE IT DEFINITELY CAN. IT'S BIG HEART SMALL TOWN, BUT SOME OF THE FACADE OF WORK PROSPER IS YOU KNOW, WITH HOW WE ENVISION OF THINGS TO LOOK LIKE IT'S GOING TO CHANGE. BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A BAD CHANGE. YOU KNOW, UM, I THINK PROSPER'S GOT SO MANY GREAT THINGS. AND I THINK YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO BE THE GATEWAY TO MAKING IT HAPPEN FOR TOWN COUNCIL. SO IT HAS BEEN A PLEASURE. I HAVE ENJOYED EVERY MINUTE OF WORKING ON TMZ AND ALL OF THE STAFF. YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN ? I WAS A LITTLE HESITANT WHEN ALEX AND EVERYBODY STARTED RETIRING AND MOVING AND YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING. AND I THINK THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT IS IN REALLY GREAT HANDS AND I LOOK FORWARD TO COMING BACK AND VISITING AND SEEING WHAT EVERYBODY HAS BEEN DOING AND HOW YOU GUYS HAVE CHANGED. AND SEE THE COSTCO. IT'S GONNA BE GREAT. I JUST I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT'S A BITTER POINT FOR ME THAT CANDLE RIGHT THERE. YEAH I'M LIKE CHECKING OUT. CAN WE ASK YOU WAS COMING IN? I'M LIKE, OKAY. I THINK YOU GUYS HAVE THAT TOO. THAT'S NOT VERY FAIR. I THINK WE'RE ALL COMING TO VISIT YOU. PLEASE DO EVERYBODY'S GOT AN INVITATION. IF YOU GOT A PASSPORT, TED LASSO AND COOKIES ARE CALLED BISCUITS, OKAY? WELL THANK YOU SO MUCH. I MEAN, AS EVERYONE KNOWS, THIS IS A VOLUNTEER POSITION. WE ALL KNOW WHAT THE PAY IS AND SO TOO TO SEE SIX YEARS. THAT'S THAT'S A LOT OF THAT'S A LOT OF LIFE. THAT'S A LOT OF DEDICATION, SO APPRECIATE IT. AND I KNOW YOU GOT BRIGHTER THINGS AHEAD. IT'S GOING TO BE A BLAST, AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU GUYS ALL SUFFICIENTLY GIVE PETTIS A REALLY HARD TIME FOR MISSING MY LAST MEETING. I'M SO CRUSHED RIGHT NOW. SO WITH THAT, SO WE DO HAVE YOUR ROLE HAS BEEN FILLED THAT LEAVE, SO MR CAMERON READS WILL BE COMING ON AND JOINING NEXT. OUR NEXT MEETING IN TWO WEEKS. DID YOU SEE WHAT YOU HAVE TO FILL?
