Farrow, be put on the minutes as an amendment to the Pipe Line contract with E. E. Farrow dated Sept- ember 27, 1955. ~otion carried. The letters read as follows: Re: 27 inch Supply Line Denton, Texas Dear Mayor Yarbrough: Pursuant to instructions of the City Commission last Tuesday night, we have contacted MR.E.E.Farrow with reference to the problems which have arisen in connection with the right-of-way for the supply line, the contract for construction of which is with E.E. Farrow Company. We advised Mt. Farrow by letter yesterday as to the status of the right-of-way. We also advised Mr. Farrow that the City Commission had instructed us to request him to attend a meeting of the Commission tomorrow evenin~ to disucss the problem. Upon receipt of our letter o£ November 30 Mr. Farrow came to our office this morning and we have discussed the question of right--of-way. Mt. Farrow was quite cooperative in the matter and at my suggestion has agreed in writing to extend the time of availability.of right-of-way from December 1, 1955 to January 1, 1956. From the discuss- ion at the Commission meeting, it would appear that by concerted effort right-of-way can be available by Januar~ 1. I feel confident however that if unforeseen difficulties arise in the procurement of the right-of- way that make it impossible to obtain right-of-way by January 1 that we can at ~hat time further resolve the matter with Mt. Farrow. We would point out ~hat primary effor~ should be made to secure the right-of-way commencing at the power plant and ru~ming south to the intake s~ructure as this is in conformity with Mr. Farrow's letter request of November 26, 1955. We are enclosing copy of letter which we have written at our office today and which has been signed as accepted by Mt. Farrow extending the date of avail- ability of right-of-way from December 1, 1955 to January 1, 1956. In view of this written agreement we have not insisted upon Mr. Farrow being present tomorrow even- ing and, as the matter now stands, he will not be present. We are enclosing copies of Mr. Farro~s letter of November 26, 1955 and our reply thereto dated November 30, 1955. Tours very truly, FREESE AND NICHOLS By: Marvin C. Nichols CITY HALL December 2, 1955 Re: 27 inch Supply Line Denton, Texas Dear Mr. Farrow: Reference is made to cur letter to you dated November 30, 1955 which was in reply to your letter of November 26, 1955 addressed to Mr. Grady Creel, City Engimeer, De~ton, Texas. Under Item D - Right-of-way, page b, Information and Special Instructions to Bidders, of the co.ntract specifications, the following language is used. "Right-- December 1, or-way will not be available until 1955". From your letter of November 26, 1955 to Creel, we quote as follc~s~ wPlease advise us soon as possible if you have secured all of this right-of-way and if not. please assure us that it will be ready by December 16 in order that we may start our crews build- ing gates and roadways on project site." In our letter of November 30, 1955 we advised ycu that at this time the City has secured approximately 29,000 feet of right-of-~eay, leaving some 15,600 feet yet to be obtained. Upon receipt by you of our letter of November 30,1955 you came to Fort Worth and we held a conference on this matter in our office today, December 1, 1955. In accordance with underet.andi~gs reached at this con- date feremce, it is agreed that the for availabilityof right of-way is changed from December 1, 1955 to January 1, 1956, It is further understood that this change in no way affects any other provision of the contract. If this change is agreeable to you, we will appreciate your e~doreing two copies of this letter, returning one to ue for the records of the City and retaining one for your files.

The following Resolution was read: AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY CON~dISSION OF TNE~OF DENTON. TEXAS, HELD AT TNE CITY HALL OF SAID CIT$ ON THE 27TH DAY OF D$C Me R, A. O., 1958. WHEREAS, it is the intent of the City Commission, in so far as it has the power to do so, to discourage the growth of unsightlyslmm areas bordering on the City Limits and the highway approaches to the City, which blight the orderly growth of a clean city and affect the health and welfare of its citisens; and, WHEREAS, it is sometimes financially unwise %o annex affected areas lying outside the City, because the terrain makes impossible the furnishing of such areas with sanitary sewer service without the construction of expensive ee~er lift stations, and the location of some areas are far removed from water mains of sufficient size to ~umrantee adequate fire protection without the expend- iture of large amounts of money for the extension of such mai~s and the inclusion of such areas within the City without such fire p~otection ~$uld Seriously affect fire insurance rates being paid by residents of the City of Dentone and,' WHEREAS, the City of Denton has found it necessarY to drill seven (7) aew water wells in the last ten (10) years all outside the City limits ce the City, and the rapid withdrawal 6f water from these wells has caused a constant and continuous lowering of the water table faster than nature can replace the water; and, I~REAS, this co~stant lowering of the water table has seriously affected the water supply of persons resid- ing outside the City limits of the City of Denton, in many cases forcing them to deepen their wells or drill new ones; and, WHEREAS, the present City Administration feels that evem though the City may not be legally obligated that it at least ie marally ~bligated to help these people b~ sellin~ them water, and, December 27, 1955 WHEREAS, the City makes a profit on the ~ater sold in the City limits ahd always and still intends to charge these customers outside the City limits double the regular City rate W~ich makes even more profit from these customers; and, WHEREAS, it is the desire of the City Commission to encourage the owners of such outlying property to develop the property in a manner and to such extent as to make later annexation profitable to both the City and the cit- ~-~ izens of such outlying areas by selling to such proper~ owners both water and power under restriction requiring developers of subdivisions outside the City to meet the protective standards required of developers within the City limits, insuring the development of paved streets with curbs and gutters and the installation of water mains of sufficient sizes and specifications to adequately serve such areas so that when they are later annexed to the City, fire protection, sewsr service and other services of the City may be accorded such new inhabitants without the necess- ity of the tax payers within the City having to vote bond issues or other froms of financing to provide these expected services; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DENTON, TEXAS: 1. THAT the City of Denton shall sell water to persons outside the City lib. its of Denton, Texas, at double the rates charged consumers within the City of' Denton, upon execution of service contract amd upon the property owners' signing an application $~r annexation to the City of Denton, Texas, permitting the City to annex such property when it deems it to the best interest of the people of the City; the annexation application to remain in effect so long as such water is being sold to the applicant. In the event such applicant conveys said property, the buyer shall sign a new application for annexation and a contract for such water services. The applicant shall pay all expenses incurred in m~king connection with the City's water system. The applicant shall also agree to purchase from the City all electrical power used on such property in the event the City desires to sell such elect- ricity shall be the same as that charged to consumers within the City of Denton, Texas, within the same classi- fication. A deposit for electric services shall be requir- ed of consumers within the City of Denton, and a deposit for water service shall be required in double the amount required of consumers within the City. 2. Water will be sold to customers outside the Cit~ limits with the understanding that it is not for resaxe and shall be used only for the purposes stated in the contract with the City. 3. All water mains installed shall be subJec~ to approval of the City Engineer as to specifications covering size, material and other matters of construction. In the event the applicant for annexation desires to build an addition, such addition must be platted in compliance with the ordinances of the City of Denton, Texas, and the laws of the State of Texas. Permits must be obtained for all construction from the proper City officials of the City of Denton. On all new construct- ion, a separate contract for water shall be required for each lot and the City reserves the right to reject any or all applications. C PTY HALL December 27, 1955 5.

The following letter was presented by a committee ap~inted to make rec~ndation on the eaten#ion of ut%lit ice: TO T~E ~ONORABLE CIT~ COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DENTON, TEXAS: Geet lemon: Upon instructions from the City Commission, the undersigned committee has made a further study of the methods which could be used for financing utility exten- sions. Whatever plan ie finally adopte, d by the City Ceeealaai~n, y~ur committee recommends an increase in th~ charge for water taps as follows: PRE~gNT COST }/~- wa:er ~ap $25.00 1 water tap 17.50 1" water tap 30.OO La,er tape will be made on the basis of actual cost tm the City of labor and materials plus 15%. It ie not recommeeded that a charge be made on se~er tape since any charge made would have a tendency to diecourags connections to the se~er lines. Ther~ exists in Denton, at the present time, app~x~ately 117 dry toile~a. Fo.r several, years: t.he.. City has endeavored to encourage these peopA ea~itary plumbing facilities and connect with the City.s sewerage ayetem. Any charge for tyi. ng onto the sewer lance ~.d add to the difficulty oz' persuading these people to connect with City sewerage. Such charge might a~eo encourage future conatruction of a sub-etandard ty~e to i~etall septic tanks or d~y toilets rather than tie cato the City ack, rage. Thia is not a ~olution to the financial problem imvolved in the extension of utilities, but it could be used in conjunction with whatever plan is adopted to help ease the City's financial burdens. CITer HALL February 28, 1956 In the event the earlier recomendati~n of the committee is not foll~ed, two p~ssible meth~e the City could use are as foll~s: ~fective da~e of this p~ will be the ~y upon which the City of Denton ~s fulfilled all c~i~- ments which i% ~s previously ~de ~o e~en~ wa~er lines and s~er lines. After the effective ~a~e all wa~er and a~er lines will be ex~ended on the f~ll~i~ basis: ProJec=a will be given am o~er of priority baaed upon .first come-first served". A project will ne~ ~e approved ~til the fill plat ~s been approved by the City Pla~i~ Co~ission and ~he City Co~issiom. The date of app~val of the City C~iaai~will be the da~e which governs priority for bei~ place~ upen ~roJect list. ~a~er and s~er lines will be installed y city crews in the o~er outlined above. If a developer desires faster servi~e ~ ~hia ae~hod will give, he ~y ~ke arrangements for plans to be pre,red by ~ approved consulting e~ineer ~d ~e a private contractor ~o install such li~s aa the developer needs, subject to approval of the Oi~y of Denton. Ail of ~his will be done at the develo~r~s e~enae. If ~he developer is willing to take his place em the priori~y list, he ~y ~ve wa~er and s~er lines in his subdiwiaiom by pay- ing ~o the. City of Denton $2.~~r linear fe~ for water lines and $1.~ per linear f~t for s~er lines. The distance thrush stree~ intersections z~ll met be co~te~ an~ any lines necesaa~ ~o ~o~ec~ a subdivision with exis%i~ Ci~y of Den~on water and a~er l~ea will not be included. Any tr~sverae lines re~ui~ by ~he City of Denton will not be incl~ed in the linear feet for which the developer ~at ~y. Any ~raasverae lines. required to se~ice lo~s on si~e s~eta ~r ~her ions not se~ed by main installations will be included in the linear feet for which %he developer must ~y. These ~yments will no% be re~nde~ Subdivisions ~y be developed in pa~a, but shall not be ~evelopea in less than parts consia~i~ of one wh~le block or linear feet. Either measure ~ be selected ~o ~e a~vamt~e of the developer. Final decision aa ~o ai~e ~d type of lines to be installed~ location, grade ~d other technical da~a s~ll ~a~ wi~h the Oily. Title al~ins=alla~ions s~ll be vested in~e City of Dent~n.

Beginni~ with the date of co~ection wi~h the first residence to these wa~er and a~er lines, the ~i~y of Denton shall keep a record of all g~as revenue~ collected f~m these lines. A~ the end of ~e year from the beginning date ~d n~ pri~r ~he~, ~he Ci~y shall calculate the ~o~al g~aa revenues ef all connections made ~o ~hese lines and shall at ~ ~ime, ref~d to the developer 25% of ~he gross revenues fer ~he first year. At ~he end ~f ~he second year by use of the s~e method,.the City .f Denton ~11 ref~d to the developer 2~ of all g~ss ~venues colleo~ed at the end of the third ~ear by use of the aa~ me,hod, the City shall refund 15% of all g~ss reven~a o~llec~ed: a% the end of ~he rough year by.the uae ef ~he me,hod, the City s~ll refund 1~ ~f all gross revenues collected and at ~he end of the fifth year ~y %he use of the same method, the City shall ~f~d ~% ~f all 28, 1956 revenues collected, with no refund being made after the fifth year; he. ever, in no event, shall the aggregate of all refunds made exceed the total amount which the developer has ~aid for the installation sheuld meet the requirements of.O~ty Specifications an6 should be subject to aupervxamon by the City.

Clear Creek, a tributary of Elm Fork of Trinity River, from the mouth of Clear Oreak with Elm Fork in a northwesterly direction upstream on Gloat Creek to its crossing with Gulf-Colorado-Santa Fe Railroad, a distance of approximately 10 miles and being situated in Denton County, Texas; b. On Denton Creek, a tributary of Elm Fork of Trinity River, from the crossing of T. and P. Railroad with Denton Creek in a northwesterly direction upstream on Denton Creek to its crossing with State Highway No. 2~, a distance of approximately 20 miles and being situated in Denton County; c. On Elm Fork of Trinity River from the crossing of State Highway No. 24 with Elm Fork in a northerly direction upstream on Elm Fork to its crossing with the County Lime between Cooke and Denton Counties, a distauce of 15 miles and being situated in Denton County, Texas. WHEREAS, the City Commission, acting favorably upon the recommendations of the Citizens Water Committee and the engineering firm of Freese and Nichols on the ~r~ day of January, 1955, applied to the Brats Board of Water Engineers for Presentations covering the sites recommended by the Water Committee and such engineering firm. The State Board of Water Engineers on January 17, 1955, granted the City of Denton's request and Presentations No. 1~1,13~2 and 1~3~ were issued covering the above described sites, such Presentations to expire July 17, 1955, and WMEWEAS, the firm of Freese and Nichols immediately began an investigation of the feasibilit-~ of projects on each of the three sites which study could not be completed by the expiration date of the Presentations and which s~udy became affected by the following events and activities of others interested in water rights upon theupper Trinity Watershed: 1. On June 28, 1955, the City Manager of Dallas, Mr. Elgin E. Crull, caused to be mailed to the Mayor of the City of Denton, a copy of a letter to the State Boax~ of Water Engineers, dated June 28, 1955, opposing extension of time on each of Denton's Presentations in anticipation of such request by the City of Denton, by the following paragraph of said letter of opposition: "The City of Dallas has no objections to the Presentations of the City of Denton or to an extension of time on such P~esentations~ if it ie actually needed by the City of Denton to complete its studies, provided that the Presentations, an~ ~-? extensions thereof, recognizes the prior right of the City of Dallas to the waters of Elm Fork and its tributaries. It is our belief that all of the available yield of water from these sources has already been appropriated and granted to the City of Dallas. In view of the fact that the City of Dallas has also engaged in engineering studies and inves- tigation of Elm Fork with a view to the construction of additional reservoirs to permit greater utilization of our existing appropriations for ~n~ual withdrawal, we respectfully request that the Board limit any requested extension of time on Denton's Presentations to six months." July 16, 1957 2.. The City of Denton had employed the Texas A & M Research Foundation and t4e Bureau of Business Research of She Univer- sity of Texas to make studies of agricultural losses f~om reservoirs coutructed in Denton County and to make studies and estimates of the future water needs of the City of Denton. On July 5. 1955, the Bureau of Business Research of the Uni- versityof Texas published its report concerning the estimated future water needs of the City of Denton. 3. On Jul~ 5, 1955, the City of Denton filed a request with t~e StateBoard of Water FmEineers asking for a one year's ex~ension of time on each of the Presentations. the same da.v! the Oitisen~ Water Committee recommended a~d the City Commtssxon following such recommendation, retained the services of Victor W. Bouldin, Attorney-at-Law, a specialized legal consultant on water x-ights, a member of the firm of Vinson, Elkins, Weems and Bearlee of Houston, Texas, to work with the Citisens Water Committee, giving special attention to the claim of the City of Dallu as stated in the Crull letter of June 28, 1955, and as above relatsd. #. On July ll, 1955~ the State Board of Water Engineers granted the one-year's ex-tension of time on each Presentation as requested b~ the City of Denton. WHEREAS, the City of Denton is concerned with the economic impact ~efleoted in a report of the Texas A & M Research Fottndatlon to the Citizens Water Committee dated September 7, 1955~which had resulted from existing reservoirs construc- ted in Denton Count,,Texas. The report entitled "Estimated Losses in Agricultural Production from Reservoirs Constructed in DentOn~County, Texas" concludes that existing reservoirs occupy approximately 10% of the land area of Denton County or slightl2 mere than 60,000 acres. The addition of the Aubrey and Roanoke Reservoirs would increase the total reservoir area to 90,000 acres or 1~% of the total acreage of the County. The report further estimated the agricultural net losses ~-~ually on existing reservoir land based on 195~ prices to be $~,112,~ and that the accumulative net agricultural losses from 1928-195~, inclusive, amounts to $5,311.879.OO. The proposed Aubre~ and Roanoke Reservoirs would add a po- tential a~-ual net agricultural loss of $$31,91~ making an estimated total net annBal agricultural loss of $1,7~,~?, based on 195~ ~rices. Thus, the report states, Denton County would be depr~ved of more than ~5 of the value of its agricultural production. WHEREAS, the engineering firm of Freese and Nichols continued making necessary engineeri~ and hydrological studies, esti- mates of water requirements and estimates of costs in order to make. recommendations to the City of Denton as to the eco- nomic, engineering and finamcial feasibility of the proposed water pro~ects covered by the three Presentations heretofore discussed and said firm needed additional time in which to complete its studies and recommendations, the City of Denton on June ~, 1956, applied to the ~tate Board of Water Engi- neers for au extension of 18 months on each of said Presenta- ttona. On June 22, 1956, the State Board of Water Engineers granted an extension of time of 12 months on each of said Presentations to expire July 17, 1957. On July 23, 1956, the City of Dallas a{opted a Resolution asserting a legal right to the total yield of the watershed by virtue of pre- vious permits granted By the State Board of Water Engineers, and, CITY HALL .~ July 16, 1957 ~ WHEREAS, the City of Denton is not opposed to the City of Dallas acquiring some of its future water from this water- shed, provided the needs of Denton and Denton County are first fulfilled and provided the City of Dallas locates its reservoir sites below the Denton County line, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DENTON, TEXAS: SECTION 1: That the City of Denton Expresses its apprecia- ti&n to t~e State Board of Water Engineers in grouting to the City of Denton Presentations Nos. 1~31~ 1~2, and 1~3 _ which were originally granted on January 17, 1955, and inter mittently renewed by the Board to July 17, 1957. These Presentations have given the City of Denton sufficient time to investigate the feasibility, through an organized engi- neering firm, Freese and Nichols, Fort Worth, Texas, who hays been employed by the City of Denton, to conduct the nec- essary engineering surveys, hydrological studies and make recommendations for a future water supply project for the City of Denton. Accordingly, the City of Denton is not making a request for an extension of time on these Presen- tations. SECTION 2~ That the City of Denton does hereby request that the State Board of Water Engineers accept this Resolution as an intent on the part of the City of Denton to apply for a permit to impound~ divert, and appropriate from the public resources of the State of Texas, not to exceed a stated qu~utity of acre feet of unappropriated water per ~um, by impounding a stated quantity of acre feat of unappropriated water per ~um for mttuiaipat purposes. The pro,oct contemplated is a dam and reservoir to be constructed on the Elm Fork of Trinity ~hiver at some point between State Highway No. 25 crossing and the Denton- Cooke County line which is covered under Presentation of the City of Denton, No. 1~1. Accordingly, the City of Denton specifically requests that the State Board of Water Engi- ~neers give utmost primacy to the Oity of Denton's decla:ed intentions. SECTION ~. That, according to qualified engineering reportsthe City of Denton now has under its Permit No. 1706, dated June 17, 1955, full storage in the 21,000 acre feet of storage space in the Gates-Little EI~ Reservoir. In a recent report, the City's water con- sultant engineers, Freese and Nichols, stated, based on Corps of Engineers estimate, that the safe yield of Denton storage space in Garza-Little Elm Reservoir to be 5.2 million gallons per day during a critical drouth period, plus well production, that the City of Denton has a safe supply through the year 1965. Obviously. the 0ity of Denton must of necessity immediately plan for an additional m~nicipal supply. SECTION $. That the City of Denton has for some time been deliberating with the Denton's Citizens Water Committee upon specific legal advice given by the City's water consultant attorney, Mr. Victor W. Bouldin, of the firm of Vinmon, Elkins, Weems and Searles, of Houston, Texas. In acting upon this specific legal advice, the City of Denton and Denton Citieens Water Committee has consciously taken into consideration what they consider to be the best interests of the entire citizenship of Denton County and the state supported NTSC and state supported TSCW (TI~). Accordingly, the City of Denton has as of this date, started legal proceedings of annexation of an area partly encom- passed under Presentation No. 13~l. CItY ~ July 16, 1957 SECTIO~ ~r The City of Denton is desirous as of this time of informing the City of Dallas and any other interested parties. that iris its belief that there are sufficient unappropriated waters in the Elm Fork cf the Trinity River, based upon hydro- logical studies, in its possession, to completely Justify the building of a reservoir amd dam to impound the future water supply of the City of Denton ~ the other cities of Denton County who may be interested in supplementing their water supply, and the City of Denton, acting upon competent legal advice, believes that this water potential is unappropriated. SECTION 6~ The Oity of Denton is appreciative of the mag- nanimoUs gesture made by the uity of Dallas in a Resolution dated July 25~ 1956r which was received by the Honorable Mayor of the City of Denton July 26, 1956. According to this Resolution, the City Council of the City of Dallas, While at the same time claiming that the total yield of the watershed has been gramted to Dallas under Permits Nos. 75, 798, 1464 and 1476, states, "The City of Dallas is fully cognizant that the City of Denton has no other source of water to supply its ~esds, save amd except the rights it now has in the Garma-Little Elm Reservoir, which were provided for the City of Denton at the request of the City of Dallas and not- withstanding the prior rights of the City of Dallas to the water yield from this watershed, the City of Dallas is willing to cooperate with the City of Denton in a plan which would fully develop these potential resources and thus provide for the water needs of the City of Denton out of such new development". The City cf Denton is appreciative that the City of Dallas is fully cog~izamt that the 0ity of Denton has no other source of water to supply its needs. With this statement,  the Cit~ of Denton is Ln full accord. At a recent meeting with the Corps of Engineers, Ft. Worth, Texas, representatives · of the Denton Citizens Water Committee definitely determined that the City of Denton was originally taken into considera- tion in the Garza-Little ELm project which resulted from the City of Denton's request and not from the City of Dallas' request° Obviously~ the City of Denton is not in accord with the City of Dallas' claim to all the prior rights to the water yield from this watershed. The Resolution states that while the City of Dallas would be willing to supply the Oity of Denton with additional water until such time as the Aubrey reservoir is constructed, there is a contingency provision that the City of Denton shall pay its part of the costs incrusted in developing the new reservoir, that the City of Denton would have to make satisfactory com- pensation to the City of Dallas for any water that the City of Denton would take over and above its present rights to take water f~om the Garza-Little Elm Reservoir. The Resolution further states that the City of Dallas will not oppose the securing by the City of Denton of its reasonable water supply from Elm Fork, provided that the development is accomplished - by a plan that would fully utilize a~d develop the yield of I the watershed to its maximum capacity, and which would provide I sufficient storage of ~1oo~ water which could be utilized on - an excham~e basis with the U. S. Arm~ Corps of Engineers in the maintenance and operation of Garza-Little Elm, but the City of Dallas will oppose the City of Denton's development u~ess it is done according to a plan which would provide for full development of the site so as to provide for exchauge of storage and coordinated operation with the exist- ing reservoir in the interest of maximum yield in usable water supply amd smy other plan cf development would seriously OITY HALL ~'~ July 16, 1957 ~ impair the existing prior water rights of the City of Dallas. While the City of Denton regrets that the City of Dallas will oppose a City of Denton development that is not pl-~ned in accordance with its desires, the City of Denton does not believe its plan of development is affected by the claim of prior water rights of the City of D~llas. SECTION 7. The City of Denton is not oblivious to the water needs of the City of Dallas and nine other cities which ams being supplied water by the City of Dallas; however, the City of Denton, in protecting its own water needs is sub- stantially opposed to the City of Dallas seeking additional reservoirs in Denton County. A quantity of water, over and above, that necessary to supply the City of Denton and the other towns in Denton County, is available for the City of Dallas' use, and the City of Denton would not oppose the City of Dallas ~mpounding this excess supply, when available, in Dallas County or at any other site in any area south of the Denton County line, but the City of Denton will oppose the City of Dallas developing any other reservoirs in Denton County for the sole purpose of supplying the water needs of the City of Dallas and the other cities in Dallas County which are now being supplied by the City of Dallas~ SEOTION 8. That Ma~or Jack Bryson is hereby instructed to transmit a certified copy of this Resolution to the State Board of Water Engineers, Austin, Texas, and a certified copy to the Honorable R. L. Thornton, Mayor of the City of Dallas and a certified copy to editors of the newspapers in Denton, Dallas and to other interested parties. uponSECTION ~.its passage.This Resolution shall be effective immediately PASSED AND APPROVED tt~s 16th da~ of July, A.D., L957. ~/ Chas.

The results of this referendum were over~helmingly in favor of extending a community welcome to your plant and personneS. The results were more than 9~ in favor of this proposition, so we have the strongest kind of mandate from our people in presenting this invitation. As pointed out to the people in the an- nounce~ent, a bond issue will be necessary to finance the extension of some of these services. The overwhelming response from the citizenry of Denton indicates an eagerness to support such a bond proposal. You have noted in the enclosed statement regarding the new industry that our city water consultant, Freese and Nichols of Fort Worth and our city auditor and finance consultant, Ernst ~nd Ernst of Fort Worth, have recommended to our citi- zenship the advisability of seeking the plant's location. We would l'ike to suggest that you consult these firms as well as our power consultant, Black and Veatch of Kansas City, l~issouri, to satisfy you as to Denton's capabilities. Your eaz~nest and thoughtful consideration of this invitation is urged and a warm welcome will be yours if you desire to become a part of the Denton Family.

S. 377 in Denton Denton Celerity Honorable Jack Bryson ~.~ayor, City of Denton Denton, Texas Dear Mayor Bryson: We have your ~etter of [~srch t0, 1958, relative to the ' section of U. $. 377 between ~daple Street and the new location of I.H. 35E (U.S.77), wherein you have asked consideration of the reconstruction of this section to a city street section and ~he lowering of the existing grade line. A study of this section shows a rather large investment in the present road. Also, a limited amount of develop- ment would be benefited by lowering the grade. To lower the grode sufficiently to improve these developments would also require lowering tl~e grade through the cut section ~ear Whitson's 2ood ]~laat, in order to comply with s~ght d~st~nce req~.~rements, l~s would very likely involve rightful damage claims from ~he abutting improve- merits i~ th~s area u'bich we feel would more than off set 261{ CITY HALL ~arch 25, 1958 any probable benefits. It appears to us that the probable benefits, balanced against the loss of the existing facility ~d likely damage claims will not justify revising the grade. The installation of curbs and gutters and widening the existing pavement on the present grade to provide a (~0) forty foot street section will provide an adequate pleasing street, consistent with the existing section on Elm Street and other two lane streets in the City. As you k~uow, Departmental policy permits widening in city areas to a street section with the placement of curbs and gutters on a Joint basis with the city i~volved. In these cases the State pays for the widening and lbs supports, while ~he city pays for curbs and gutters, storm sewers, utility adjustments, driveways and driveway adjustments, and agrees to require only parallel parking.

Hutcheson began his service as City Menlth Officer on Apri% 13, 1953 and he resigned on May 31, 1959. To attempt to summarize outstanding service spanning sixteen years would be folly since only those connected with City Government over that perio~ would appreciate its full meaning and to them such a reminder is unnecessary; to those who have not been close to City Government a summary would be inadequate to n×pla~n the debt of gratitude owed by every cit~en to Dr. Hutche~on. In a siSuation of this kind, perhaps the ~avy's practice of under- - statemeat is appropriate and so the City Council, for every citizen of the 0ity, says to Dr. Hutoheson, "?;ell Done." On behalf of the people he has served so unselfishly, the members of the Council wish him happiness and success in be future and re- quest that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to him.
