RES 1991-08RESOLUTION
WHEREAS:
The Town of Trophy Club recognizes the need for orderly
economic development in sparsely populated areas of general
law municipalities.
House Bill 1930 filed by Representative Ben Campbell,
and Senate Bill 1450 filed by Senator Whitmire, wouId
severely hamper the orderly development of general law
municipalities.
The apparent purpose of House Bill 1930 and Senate Bill
1450 is to assist certain parties in removing the Circle T
Ranch from the jurisdiction of the Town of Westlake;
The disannexation of the Circle T Ranch would splinter
the Town of Westlake into six noncontiguous parcels, thereby
effectively destroying the Town of Westlake;
The passage of such a bill could wreak havoc in general
law municipalities;
Senator Chris Harris and Bob Glasgow, apparently
recognizing the severe harm which could accrue to general law
municipalities under such bill, refused to sponsor such bill
in the Texas Senate.
BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED THAT:
The Town of Trophy Club strongly opposes the enactment
of House Bill 1930 and Senate Bill 2450;
The Town of Trophy Club strongly opposes any amendment
to the Government Code which would have the effect of
permitting the disannexation of any area from a general law
municipality without the consent of such municipality.
Approved and passed this 16th day of April, 1991.
syor, Town/��f Trophy Club
