That's not out of the good evening. Welcome to the North Richland Hill City Council work session as 5 p.m. And I will call the Monday, July 27, 2026, City Council work session to order. A quorum of the City Council is present. The meeting has been duly posted in accordance with the Tex So Meetings Act of the Texas Government Code. Let the record reflect that council member Matt Blake is absent. Items listed for the discussion on the work session agenda provide an opportunity for the city council to discuss the items and receive information from the staff. The city council will not take action on any of the items listed for discussion during the work session. Any members of the public wishing to address the council regarding items listed on the work session agenda may do so during the public comments portion of the regular meeting. Moving to the first item on here, it gives the council an opportunity to ask questions for the items on the regular agenda that the council has not had clarification on at this time. Does anybody have anything any clarification on? I got a couple questions. Um the wing aviation for Richmond Plaza. Are they buying a building or are they leasing a spot and just using the parking lot as a place for the drones to be? I think they're leasing a spot that's there on the front of the parking lot. It is, it's just completely in the parking lot. There's no attachment to a building or no construction of a building aside from their proposed um accessory structure that would house their equipment outside in the parking lot. The circle we have on the picture included part of the building. That's the reason I was wondering if they were buying the building or leasing the building, but they're just only doing the parking lot, right? There's no no component of the building that they're leasing. I'd have to see what exhibit you're looking at. It's just the it's a rectangular area in the parking lot on the kind of the far south. What is it, southwest end of the parking lot where it's just unused, unutiled underutilized parking area. Okay, just the picture shows part of the building. That's the reason I was asking that question. That's it's that's fine. There's a there's you clarified it. There's a site plan in the packet as well that shows really the outlines of that that specific area in the parking lot. And that's where I came up with it. So not a building. Okay. Sorry, we have some slides in the in the presentation that'll show you the specific location as well. Okay. Um was that the just the address that was associated with it that it could be. It probably is just building. It probably is just the notification area that you're looking at. There's a there's a site plan exhibit as well. That's um, it's a black and white um sheet as a backup document that shows specifically in the parking lot what portion would be. Yeah, it just shows it in the parking lot.
