DISCUSSION:
In 1997 Fort Worth and Northlake adopted the 1997 Joint Resolution (City Secretary Contract No. 23202), according to which each municipality
reduced its ETJ and allocated such territory exclusively to the other municipality. In 1997 Fort Worth and Northlake entered into Interlocal
Agreement (CSC No. 23201), to provide for a uniform wholesale water contract; to provide for a Joint Resolution and Agreement for the
adjustment of the extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) boundaries between the two cities and to provide for a revenue sharing arrangement.
In April 2020, Northlake and Fort Worth executed a new Interlocal Agreement (CSC No. 53967) to affirm and adjust corporate and ETJ boundaries
between the two cities unsettled by the decision that resulted from the 2015 litigation between Northlake and the Town of Justin and to allocate
additional areas to one another. CSC No. 53967 also provides for additional exchanges and boundary adjustments of City of Fort Worth corporate
limits in exchange for the amendment to CSC No. 23201 to delete all references to the municipal services -revenue sharing provision.
The subject territory lies within the corporate limits of the City of Fort Worth, Texas, a home -rule city. Pursuant to the City's authority under its home -
rule powers and Section 43.142 of the Texas Local Government Code, the City Council of the City of Fort Worth has the authority to disannex

If disannexed, this property will be removed from COUNCIL DISTRICT 7.
