period of time.
First... . our mayor, Mr. Childress went to Austin and met with
the Texas Water Quality Control Board. They were very coopera-
tive and our mayor and engineers presented plans for .the future
development of our water and sewerage programs.
Second.... the mayor and council have signed the necessary
agreement with the City of Fort Worth to enable us to tie our
Sewage facilities into the Fort Worth system. Thus we will join
the cities of Everman, Forest Hill, Crowley and others in elemi•;
nating small independent sewage plants. This tie-in will be done
with no tax increase or property valuation increase. This is Phase
1 of our program.
Third.... the council has taken action to extend our present
sewage system to give service to approximately 70-80% of the
people now on septic tanks. After extended talks and investiga-
tion with our engineers and bond people we found that we would;
be able to extend these services at no tax increase or revaluation.
This is the second phhse of the expansion program. An election ?;
has been called to raise the necessary funds for this phase. If the
election carries, it will have NO effect on your taxes, valuations,
water rates or sewer rates. Everything stands as it now is. We
have maps at the City Hall for your examination that show you
the various programs we have started. We know that we ate not;
giving service to everyone at this time, but we felt that if we
could give service to the majority of the people with no extra tax
burdens we were on the right track. The future growth and expan-
sion of the community will take care of the balance in a very
short time.
Fourth..., we have talked to and met with many firms and
people in regards to the future growth of Kennedale. We can
assure you that the "Sleeping Giant" is beginning to stir.
Thank you for your support.
KENNEDALE CITY COUNCIL
