Title

A resolution approving an Interlocal Agreement with the City of Crandall, Texas, amending Mesquite’s Extra-Territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) boundaries by reducing its ETJ in the area of FM 2767 and FM 741, and expanding its ETJ in the area of FM 741 and Heartland Parkway and authorizing the City Manager to finalize and execute the Interlocal Agreement.

Body

The City of Crandall has approached the City regarding the change of Extra-Territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) boundaries.  This is necessitated due to the ETJ boundaries including parcels that the City of Crandall intends to annex as part of a development agreement.  The property in question more closely aligns with the City limits of Crandall and the ultimate annexation by Crandall provides for more clear boundaries for City services.  In exchange for the property in question, the City of Crandall would release a portion of their ETJ to the City of Mesquite.  This property is adjacent to the Heartland Municipal Utility District.  The ETJ boundary divides this property and this would ultimately provide a clear city limit line for emergency services.  The City of Crandall approved this action at their June 1, 2026, City Council meeting. 

Recommended/Desired Action

Staff recommends approval of the resolution.
