Adopt Resolution Revising Resolution No. 4554-12-2015 and Approve Amendment to City Secretary Contract No. 47559 to Adjust the Boundaries of the Proposed Far North Fort Worth Municipal Utility District No. 1 and Reduce the Land Area of this District from 733 Acres to 719 Acres (ETJ/TARRANT and WISE COUNTIES AND FUTURE COUNCIL DISTRICT 7)

It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution revising Resolution No. 4554-12-2015 and approve an amendment to City Secretary Contract No. 47559 to adjust the boundaries of the proposed far North Fort Worth Municipal Utility District No. 1 and reduce the land area of this district from approximately 733 acres to approximately 719 acres, as shown on Exhibit A.

On December 15, 2015, City Council adopted Resolution No. 4554-12-2015 (M&C L-15844) granting consent to the creation of a 733.486 acre municipal utility district - proposed Far North Fort Worth MUD No. 1 (MUD).  The City Council also approved City Secretary Contract No. 47559 between the City of Fort Worth and Lackland Holdings, LLC (Owner) for the creation of Far North Fort Worth MUD No. 1.  The property is located east of U.S. Highway 81/U.S. Highway 287 and west of Sendera Ranch Boulevard.  
The City will be the retail water and sewer supplier to the MUD, who will pay outside City limit rates and all other applicable charges.  The City will also be the wastewater service provider to the MUD, pending the Trinity River Authority's consent.  The City and the Owner are negotiating an east-to-west arterial roadway that will provide adequate capacity for the proposed development.  The MUD will be responsible for construction and maintenance of the arterial roadway.

In accordance with Resolution No. 4554-12-2015, the City and the Owner are currently negotiating the Utility Agreement and the Development Agreement.  The Owner submitted an application for the creation of the MUD to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) on April 18, 2016.  TCEQ requested an affidavit from each County's appraisal district stating that the ownership as submitted concurs with their records.  Wise and Tarrant Counties' appraisal districts issued the affidavit; however, Denton County's appraisal district did not have a record of the property in Denton County.  According to the City records, the original boundaries include an approximate 14-acre parcel of land within Denton County.  Denton County's records do not show this parcel of land as being within their boundaries.  The Owner is proposing to revise the MUD's boundaries to exclude the parcel of land within Denton County, reducing the acreage from approximately 733 acres to approximately 719 acres.  TCEQ requests confirmation from the City acknowledging that the land area associated with the original boundary survey will be reduced to 719 acres.  Staff will send a letter of the City Council's consent to reduction in size of the MUD to TCEQ.
