Title
A resolution approving an Interlocal Agreement with the City of Crandall, Texas, reserving an area within Mesquite’s Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (“ETJ”) for release to Crandall upon annexation by Crandall and subject to said annexation accepting a release of an area within Crandall’s ETJ to become a part of Mesquite’s ETJ, all in the area of FM 2757 and FM 741 in Kaufman County and resulting in a reduction and expansion of Mesquite’s ETJ and authorizing the City Manager to execute the Interlocal Agreement.
Body
The City of Crandall has an interest in including 30 acres of Mesquite’s ETJ in the Crandall ETJ located on the south corner of FM 741 and FM 2757. In exchange, the City of Mesquite would accept 30 acres of Crandall’s ETJ located on the north corner of the same intersection.
State Law limits the ability for Crandall to accept this exchange. Staff is recommending that the 30 acres be reserved for the City of Crandall to bring into their ETJ as future annexations permit. Upon Crandall’s annexation of land that would permit the subject 30 acres to become part of their ETJ, the exchange of ETJ would take place. This resolution authorizes the City Manager to execute an interlocal agreement (ILA) with the City of Crandall to reserve the 30 acres for Crandall and provides for the future exchange of ETJ upon fulfillment of the requirements of the agreement.
Recommended/Desired Action
Staff recommends approval of the resolution.
