Re: Notice of Resignation
Dear Jim and Gary,
It is with much pain and regret that I must inform you of my
resignation from the City of Coppell Planning and Zoning Commission.
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.
