The 2004 Capital Improvement Program and the 2007 Critical Capital Projects included funds for the

The City Council approved Cantey and Hanger as legal counsel to represent the City of Fort Worth

Highway 121T) and authorized payment to Cantey and Hanger for services in an amount not to exceed
$50 000 00 by adoption of Resolution No 3111 on August 17 2004 (M&C G-14459) That amount was
subsequently increased to $150 000 00 by adoption of Resolution No 3220 on June 21 2005 (M&C G-
14836) and to $600 000 00 by adoption of Resolution No 3460 on February 20 2007 (M&C C-21981)

regarding Southwest Parkway (State Highway 121 T), by $150 000 00 thereby establishing the maximum
fee at $1 250 000 00
