Just want to tell you in a very d~rect way, every t~me we have a case and It has to do w~th residential housing, we hear the same complmnt from the school district "Then he told Ferguson that her problem was not the lack of land, but the lack of adequate planmng by her school district That m~ght have been the end of it, but the d~scusslon spread across the board "Based on what's here before us, ! really think that this ~s something that we need to wait on until we have more ~nformat~on, until we know how the traffic s~tuat~on ~s gonna be handled, until we know what MISD ~s going to do," sa~d Commissioner Pam Roach "And we see case after case after case where MISD says their schools are over capacity, yet we're still bringing more development, more development, more development ! think, somehow, we need to just say, Hold on a m~nute and let's look at th~s Let's not make ~t worse '" There was a long s~lence Then Commissioner J~m Malbach, a commercial real estate agent, rephed "1 believe every property owner has a right to develop their property and to zone ~t and to put ~t to its h~ghest and best use that fits with the comprehensive plan that's set up by the c~ty of Arhngton" As for the crowding and the bad roads, Maibach sa~d, the school d~stncts and the c~ty needed to get on with solving those problems -- "we can't just put a moratorium on development because we have a two-lane road there" The exchange was about as clear an ~llustratlon of the basic conflict between planner and developer, city and school district as you are likely to find outside a university classroom But th~s wasn't a classroom It was real hfe -- and in real hfe, such comments seldom go ~gnored Thirteen days Pater, the Mansfield school board took a vote and Issued th~s

Superintendent Warren Newsome later explained, "but the zoning that is occurring primarily in south Arhngton is fairly dense" In superintendent-speak, ~t was a cry for help But there was no real help in sight The problems at P&Z were ~newtably comphcated by the fact that Ferguson and her supporters were from the Mansfield d~stnct In Texas, as In most states, c~ty and school district boundaries often overlap A home in southwest Arhngton, for example, can m one of three school districts The Mansheld d~stnct spreads across ~nto two countms (Tarrant and .lohnson), three c~t~es (Mansfield, Arlington and Grand Prame) and a bunch of troy communities and umncorporated lands Residents m "other-city" d~stncts can at braes feel I~ke foreigners, but the Arlington district feels put upon as well And that ~s due to what can only be described as a type of dysfunction between the c~ty and the school d~stnct It's not a thorough dysfunction The two cooperate on most matters They routinely exchange reams of ~nformat~on about their act~vibes Pohce officers serve daffy as school resource officers m Arhngton district campuses all across the c~ty The hre, code enforcement, and parks and recreation departments are welcome on all those campuses But when ~t comes to land-use pohcy and coordinating ~ts consequences, not much -- certmnly not enough -- happens The dffhculty, the awkwardness, of thru relationship ~s never more apparent than when representatives from the d~stncts meet m ofhc~al session with the City Council's limson committee This occurs once a quarter, at best, and one recent meeting showed that even the Arhngton school dmtnct ~s concerned about the pressures of growth Arlington Superintendent Hac Bernd voiced the chromc complaint that "the majority of housing being built ~s not generating enough property revenues to educate the students that come from the houses" And trustee Erich Ramsey added that rapidly growing districts must steadily fame their tax rates in order to keep up Arhngton will soon be nudging the state-mandated cap on the school tax rate, which residents raised a few years ago (Not too long before that, a campaign to rinse the cap failed Deep budget cuts followed, and the superintendent of that era ~s now m Cypress-Fairbanks ) 5 of 8 8/21/00 2 51 PM Star-Telegram ComlOp~mons wys~wyg//13/http//wwwstar-teleg

at the c~ty and those at the district who are best positioned to foresee and prevent problems, but it does not seem to come off that way The tone ~s usually ach~ngly polite, vaguely remlmscent of a Cold War summit at which each side reads a potation statement but neither ~s expected to respond beyond a murmured expression of sympathy Once, a couple of years ago, Councilman Ogle took a few m~nutes to reproach the I~lansfleld representatives for their complaints about residential zoning policies in southeast Arlington H~s words drew no response of substance What seems to flow from these meetings ~s a kind of untransferred ~rritatmn w~th~n each organization School d~strict folks mutter about the roads and the waves of new students C~ty folks complain that the d~stricts buy school s~tes in undeveloped areas and then whine about the lack of infrastructure And ~t spreads into other areas as well There was d~srnay and resentment at C~ty Hall last year when the school dlstrmt
