Business-related events have forced a relocation of my family outside of the city limits. Accordingly, I am no longer qualified to serve as a commISSIOner. I will always look back fondly on my experience in serving on the board and have only the upmost respect for the two of you as exemplary public servants and the same goes for Marcie, Matt, and Juanita in the Planning Department. Please pass along my regrets to all my former fellow commissioners, Mayor Stover and all of the City Council Members. Best Wishes to all of you and to the City of Coppell in the future.
