During public comment on the proposed SDI TIF, a Butler representative urged the RDC to limit the district in the city's extraterritorial jurisdiction and to improve communication: "We would like to maintain direction on what goes on in our ETJ... we also feel like your map doesn't need to TIF, to the fire station, because we are already in the process of doing a west side TIF." The speaker said Butler wants to be an "active partner" and asked county staff to follow up directly.
