One Step Forward, Three Steps Back...
Is anyone else experiencing Deja Vu? Last night our new council had the audacity to appoint Jean Levenick to Place 5, the seat Tom Hayden left to run for Mayor. We heard it was a unanimous. So basically we have the same majority we had during 2008-2010, (Bryan Webb will now play the role of Mike Wallace).
For us here at FMCAUD, this brings back memories of the "old" days when council members said one thing and did another AND Disrespected their office and the people of Flower Mound. (Don't forget to read the comments.) Apparently, it seems others are shocked and angered by this decision since we have received many phone calls and emails on this topic today.
There really isn't anymore to say that can express our disappointment in this selection when there were so many qualified prospects to choose from. Click here for a link to all information on Jean Levenick that has been posted on this blog.
Why would anyone want to take one step forward and three steps back?

Atlas Resources Acquires Titan Operating Barnett Shales Assets
Atlas Resource Partners acquired Titan Operating Barnett shale assets. This includes proved reserves in the Barnett shale in the Fort Worth basin and what Atlas claims could be 335 potential undeveloped drilling locations. Nothing has been said whether this includes the Hilliard and Powell sites here in Flower Mound but most likely it does.
Wow, 335 potential undeveloped drilling locations? It is hard to believe that there could possibly that many locations that have not been drilled in this area.
Good thing we have a strong Oil and Gas Ordinance in Flower Mound. Let's hope it stays that way.

Gas Drilling and Lakeside DFW????
Is there a possibility gas drilling leases could be signed at Lakeside DFW?
Lakeside DFW developer Realty Capital has a history signing leases under their developments.
Click here, here, here, here, here, here, and here to see lease mineral deed info on Realty Capital properties just in Denton County.
Two weeks ago, Titan postponed the hearing for the Titan Powell Pad Site (barely 1000 feet south from Shadow Ridge Middle School) against the Town of Flower Mound until the elections are over. Lakeside DFW could easily be accessed from Powell site. This would bring drilling very close to Shadow Ridge Middle School and Bluebonnet Elementary.
Right now is the time to take a hard look at the candidates that are running for election.
Do you want those candidates that have a record of supporting gas drilling companies but are promising to do the right thing now?
Candidates who have lost their direction and being supported and endorsed by past council members and residents who are pro drilling?
OR
Do you want those that have a proven track record of protecting the town and have delivered everything they promised like Mayor Northern, Council Member Filidoro and Council Member Lyda?
