CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLAN
1. POLICE PROTECTION, FIRE PROTECTION & SOLID WASTE COLLECTION
The City Council of the City of Kennedale, Texas, finds and
determines it to be unnecessary to acquire or construct any capital
improvement within 2 years of the effective date of the annexation of
the particular annexed areas for the purposes of providing police
protection, fire protection or solid waste collection. The City Council
finds and determines that it has at the present time adequate facilities
to provide the same type, kind and level of protection and service which
is presently being administered to other areas already incorporated in
the City of Kennedale, Texas, with the same or similar topography, land
use and population density.
2. WATER AND WASTE WATER FACILITIES
No capital improvements are necessary for full water service to
the area annexed, as the property is currently serviced by city water.
The existing sewer line presently serves the property which abuts the
property to be annexed and is available for extension based upon the
current standard sewer extension policies now existing or as amended.
3. ROADS AND STREETS
Within 2 years from the date of the annexation of the proposed
area the City of Kennedale, Texas, with a cooperative effort of the
City's designated utility company, will undertake to provide the same
degree of road and street lighting as is provided in areas of similar
topography, land use and population density within the present corporate
limits of the City of Kennedale, Texas. Such work shall be completed
within 4 1/2 years. Maintenance of properly dedicated roads and streets
will be consistent with the maintenance provided by the City to other
roads and streets in areas of similar topography, land use and sub
development.
4. MAINTENANCE OF PARRS, PLAYGROIINDS, AND SWIMMING POOLS, AND THE
MAINTENANCE OF ANY OTHER PIIBLICLY OWNED FACILITY, BIIILDING OR
SERVICE
To the extent that it becomes necessary because of development
demands, copulation growth, and a bona fide need, the City Council of
the City of Kennedale, Texas, will undertake to provide any such
facility which it deems necessary to adequately provide for the health
and safety of the citizens of the newly incorporated areas based upon
the standard considerations of topography, land use and population
density.
3
5. FUNDING SHALL NOT BE INCONSISTENT WITH CHAPTER 395 OF THE LOCAL
GOVERNMENT CODE.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this service plan, a
landowner within the newly annexed area will not be required to fund
capital improvements necessary to provide municipal services in a manner
inconsistent with Chapter 395 of the Local Government Code, unless
otherwise agreed to by the landowner.

tttt**tit**ttttt*****tt*********t**********tt**tt#****tt*t*****t**tt*****
SPECIFIC FINDINGS
The City Council of the City of Kennedale, Texas, finds and
determines that this proposed Service Plan will not provide any fewer
services and it will not provide a lower level of service in the area
proposed to be annexed than were in existence in the proposed area at
the time immediately preceding the annexation process.
Furthermore, the City Council of the City of Kennedale, Texas,
finds and determines the rural nature of the area is characteristically
different from other more highly developed areas within the corporate
limits of the City of Kennedale, Texas. Consequently, because of the
differing characteristics of topography, land utilization and population
density, the service levels which may ultimately be provided in the
newly annexed area may differ somewhat from services provided other
areas of the City of Kennedale, Texas. These differences are
specifically dictated because of differing characteristics of the
property and the City of Kennedale, Texas, will undertake to perform
consistent with this plan so as to provide this newly annexed area with
the same type, kind and quality of service presently enjoyed by the
citizens of the City of Kennedale, Texas, who reside in or have
businesses located in areas of similar topography, land utilization and
population.

submitted to the Attorney General pursuant to Section 5 of the
Voting Rights Act, 42 U.S.C. 1973c. We received your submission
on April 1, 1996.
The Attorney General does not interpose any objection to the
specified changes. However, we note that Section 5 expressly
provides that the failure of the Attorney General to object does
not bar subsequent litigation to enjoin the enforcement of the
changes. See the Procedures for the Administration of Section 5
