•  A 14.79-acre tract on the east side of Benbrook Boulevard (US 377) containing the Park Ridge Stables will be transferred from
                         Benbrook’s city limits to Fort Worth’s city limits.

                     •  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.
