•  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.
