>> I'm roger el khoury with facilities management department. The city of Austin providing wastewater services to the city of manor and has requested a donation of a 7,500 [indiscernible] square feet of easement which needed to install an 18-inch wastewater line. The easement is within the 100 year floodplain on the boundary of the property and will not impact Travis County operation. I would like to show you the wastewater line easement. This is the manor wastewater treatment plant and they are going along this line right here, this -- this railroad track, going under the railroad track and here is our property. This is the community center and here is the parking lot and here's the tennis court and here is the property line, along this cross hatched area right here. This is the easement, the city of Austin has asked us to donate, we will have a -- we have a main in there and metering device, this routing does not impact any trees, we have no trees along the line. And therefore I think that it's clear cut. Then the city of Austin will -- is asking us also for 45-foot-wide easement, construction easement, temporary when they construct the line. Today I would like, you know, again it's a public hearing, we are going to ask the court not to take any action on the line today.
