Background
By contract and agreement dated April 15, 1968, the Cities of Dallas and Fort
Worth provided for the construction and operation of the Dallas-Fort 4,lorth
Regional Airport and established the Dallas-Fort Worth Regional Airport Board
as its oeprating board of directors. By resolution dated September 11, 1984,
the Dallas-Fort Worth Regional Airport Board recommended that the Cities of
Dallas and Fbrt Worth amend the contract and agreement to change the airport's
name to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport effective January 1, 1985. The
board was of the opinion that because of the airport's growth and its designa-
tion by Customs as a United States Port of try, its present designation as a
"regional" airport is no longer accurate. The chance of the airport's name to
,Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport would, therefore, more accurately des-
cribe the airport's status.
Recc>iTUmendation

zing the City P'janager to execute an amendment to the contract and agreement,
dated April 15, 1968, to change the name of the airport to Dallas-Fort Worth

Airport &~ard to the Dallas-Fbrt Worth International Airport Board, effective
