KENNEDALE PROGRESS REPORT Approximately 2 months ago, a new mayor and three council- men were elected to serve the people of Kennedale. We feel that the citizens should know what is, and has been done, in this short 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 P. S. You may call any, councilman or the Mayor and we will bie most happy to meet with you or your organization to explain out program.
