Attention: Bob Clark, Chairman
Gentlemen:
Pursuant to your request we are resubmitting our appeal for assistance
from the Community Development Monies available.
On September 30, 1975, we submitted a request for assistance to provide
some recreational facilities for the citizens of this part of our
county.
At the time of that request the estimate to cover the cost of two
tennis courts and volley ball courts was $24,268,00. We still need
help to provide these facilities.
As stated, the sites for these recreational facilities are available
and we would respectfully request your serious consideration for
assistance in providing funds at this time.
Attached is a copy of our request of last September 30 and we will
sincerely appreciate your cooperation in this matter.
Sincerely,
ll
Somas M. Holland,

Attention: Bob Clark, Chairman
Gentlemen:
It is respectfully requested that the citizens of the River Oaks area
receive some assistance from the Community Development Monies available.
For considerable time a study has been underway to determine ways and
means to provide some recreational facilities for the citizens of this
part of our county.
We have obtained an estimate in the amount of $24,268.00 to cover cost
of building two tennis courts and volley ball courts. Due to the
expense involved, we have not had the funds available to provide such
facilities. We need some help.
This area of approximately 8500 citizens has many low to moderate
income families and these funds would serve a very useful purpose in
providing some recreation for them.
A site for these tennis and volley ball courts has been provided as
shown by the attached map and construction of these facilities could
begin without any further delays.
Your cooperation in these matters is sincerely appreciated.
Most cordially,
Thomas M. Holland,
Mayor fist! L ji r:

Re:' CDA FUNDS ALLOCATION FOR 1976
The Cities of North Richland Hills, Colleyville, Euless, Bedford and
Grapevine do hereby renew our petition for an allocation of applicable
CDA funds for our water supply project being developed in cooperation
with the Trinity River Authority of Texas.
You will recall from the request that we submitted on February 5, 1975,
that our proposed project would involve the extension of high service
water distribution mains from recently completed Bedford - Euless -TRA
Water Supply System in the aforementioned Cities, water storage facili-
ties and incremental expansion of the existing TRA water treatment
plant as indicated on the two exhibits enclosed.
The projected needs for this system to serve our five (5) Cities
through 1981 will include approximately $14,000,000 of Capital Improve-
ments with the first three (3) years' expenditures being as follows:
1976 --
$750,000
1977 --
$1,500,000
1978 --
$2,300,000
Although the total overall scope of the subject water supply project
will be of multi - million dollar magnitude, thus exceeding the CDA
funds, in amount of $658,000, that were committed for our project
when priorities were established last year, the amount of $658,000
will serve a very useful purpose in providing for initial engineering
studies and incremental construction to expand the existing water plant.
The planning and development of this system will be consistent with
the findings of the "North Central Texas Regional Water Supply Study"
Page 2 -- 1/12/76 -- Mayors' Council of Tarrant County
that was prepared in cooperation with the North Central Texas Council
of Governments' Regional Water Supply Planning Committee. The exact
effect this particular project will have on anticipated growth of the
area cannot be readily isolated; however, it is an essential and
integral part of the total overall system without which the existing
population cannot be adequately served and which, of course, is necessary
for the continued orderly growth of the cities involved.
