RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHER ENTITIES

• A 1.38-acre tract on the east side of Benbrook Boulevard (US 377) north of the railroad (known as the old
City/County garage) will be transferred from Benbrook’s city limits to Fort Worth’s city limits.

• Benbrook agrees to dedicate a sewer easement through Whitestone Golf Course to facilitate sewer service to
Fort Worth west of Benbrook. The exact alignment and construction schedule will be determined later.

• Benbrook agrees to not file suit over Fort Worth’s proposed Mary’s Creek wastewater treatment plant, but
reserves the right to participate in the permitting process.

• Benbrook agrees to coordinate the location and design of any future vehicle bridge over the Clear Fork.

As part of a related Interlocal Agreement between Fort Worth and the Benbrook Water Authority (BWA-included in
the Joint Ordinance as Exhibit M), the Certificate of Convenience and Necessity (CCN) boundaries of each City will
be adjusted to reflect the city limits. In addition, the BWA will provide up to 2.88 million gallons per day (MGD) of
treated water and fire flow and up to 0.6 MGD of sanitary sewer capacity to a portion of Fort Worth’s service area
to the west of Benbrook on an interim basis. If BWA’s lacks capacity, Fort Worth will provide treated water to
Benbrook on a pass-through basis. All costs for extending service (including meters) will be the responsibility of
the developer, and BWA is not obligated for any expense.

Next Steps

Following adoption by the Benbrook City Council, the Fort Worth City Council considered and approved the Joint
Ordinance on the September 23, 2014 agenda. The BWA formally approved their Interlocal Agreement with Fort
Worth on October 7, 2014.

Upon adoption of the Joint Ordinance by both cities, some boundaries changed as specified in the Ordinance. In
cases where extraterritorial jurisdiction was transferred to Benbrook, Staff developed an Annexation Plan for
consideration by City Council, in accordance with State law. These annexations are scheduled for 2015.
