The attached Agreement provides that the City of Fort Worth and the
State will participate equally in the cost of operation and maintenance
of the proposed lighting system and would remain in force for a period
of two years.
We recpmsend that the attached Municipal Ordinance be passed authoriz-
ing the City Manager to execute the Agreement and that the proposed
Agreement for Maintenance and Operation of the Street Illumination
System be approved.
Yours very t
