City of Fort Worth, Texas UNE MORPHIS Mayor ayo U and Council Communication DATC' REFERENCE SUBJECT: Release of Extraterritorial PAGE SWAM NUMBER Jurisdiction Keller Area 1 /17/69 PZ-327 Iof 1 The City Plan Commission at its regular meeting on February 26, 1969, recom- mended that the City of Fort Worth release extraterritorial jurisdictional rights in an area east of Keller plus one block west of its business area, as shown on the attached exhibit. Representatives of Keller requested that Fort Worth consider the release of the subject territory, which was recommended by the City Plan Commission as well as territory north of Keller, which release was not recommended by the City Plan Commission. 1964 Apportionment In July, 1964, as a result of a boundary adjustment, the City of Keller released all of its extraterritorial jurisdiction to Fort Worth. For Keller to grow and expand in any direction, it must obtain the consent of the Fort Worth City Council. The area the City Plan Commission recommends for release to Keller drains to the east, in the Bear Creek Watershed and it would be economically unfeasible for Fort Worth to provide sanitary sewer service. Jurisdiction of Other Cities The description contained in the ordinance which is being presented for Council consideration embraces an area which lies partly within an area claimed by the City of Lakeside. This release of jurisdiction will not affect Lakeside but will permit identification of the eastern boundary of the area by public roads which can easily be identified on the ground. The area recommended for release lies within the overlapping extraterritorial jurisdiction of Fort Worth, Keller, Lakeside, North Richland Hills , Colley- ville and possibly Hurst. The boundaries of all these cities, and their extraterritorial jurisdiction, cannot be precisely determined without exten- sive research and is presently in dispute. The recommended area is so far removed from Fort Worth facilities and services that the need for annexation by Fort Worth is considered unlikely. Recommendation It is recommended that the area illustrated on the attached map and described in the proposed ordinance be relinquished from Fort Worth's extraterritorial jurisdiction in concurrence with the City Plan Commission's recommendation.
