1. Resolution Supporting( Development of a Public-Private Partnership for
Implementation of the Tex Rail Project
It was recommended that the City Council adopt a Resolution calling for supporting
development of a Public-Private Partnership for Implementation of the Tex Rail Project.
Council Member Jordan stated that he wanted to clarify what would be considered today. He
stated that about two (2) years ago, the Regional Transportation Council began working on the
issue of trying to develop the Cotton Belt and a commuter rail across the Cotton Belt, which
would consist of a 62 mile route. He advised that they had agreed to consider a public/private
partnership unsolicited proposal. He further stated that in December 2012, the Council had been
asked to consider a resolution to receive and consider the unsolicited proposal that would provide
upfront financing and construction of the cotton belt. He stated that the Council had passed the
resolution unanimously and wanted to consider that source of funding. He further stated that last
month the Mayor and Council were asked to consider a second resolution which would have
endorsed legislation and the creation of special taxing districts with several pieces of specific
governments, which they denied. He stated that part of the confusion existed that it was not the
intent of the Mayor and Council to not consider the option going forward but to place the
legislation on hold. He further stated that the Tex Rail was a top priority and that they intended
to have commuter rail going from Fort Worth to the DFW airport and that it was a necessity. He
added that last Friday the Mayor and he had met with the North Central Texas Council of
Governments and expressed their concern and had negotiated the resolution that was on the
