I have attempted to redraft the interlocal using a format that I'm more familiar with. The sole purpose
of this agreement should be to cause the construction of a traffic light at Coppell's cost and the
perpetual maintenance of the traffic light at Lewisville's cost. All references to Police enforcement
have been removed.
Please provide comments so I can forward to Lewisville so they can begin their rewrite of the
agreement and return it to me so I can rewrite it and return it to them so they can rewrite it and on and
on it goes.
Thanks
