Our process was geared for a much smaller volume of projects.

I think it's going to be problematic if we cancel those projects because we are under contract. Some of the money is sunk cost that can't be recovered in any other way than through a rate increase to all property owners.

Skills are one of the largest impediments to BI [projects].

That million dollars would affect a number of smaller projects. It's time to get our heads together, find solutions and lead our way out of it.

It is the beginning of the redevelopment of northeast Dallas. I think these projects are the precursors of what you will see happen a lot more in that area.

Our club is very united in these fund-raising projects. We do a golf scramble early in the spring to raise money as well. It has been about 14 or 15 years we have put on a nice golf scramble. That money goes to scholarships for students.
