Dear Russell:
I am enclosing the City Council Agenda Request Form and
supporting documentation necessary for the Council's
consideration of Dallas County's request for a letter from the
City of Coppell stating that the City will not assess the St.
Louis Southwestern Railway Co. for the subject road improvements.
I spoke to Mr. Bud Beene of Dallas County Public Works this
morning concerning this issue to insure that we adequately cover
their concerns with the City Council. In that discussion we
determined that the City should address their letter to Mr. J. W.
Bryan, P.E., Director of Public Works, Dallas County. Since the
County is negotiating directly with the Railroad's management to
acquire the Right-Of-Entry necessary to build the project, we
felt that it would not be appropriate to inject the City into the
situation. As mentioned in our meeting with Dallas County o~
Mon_~qD_~ the Railroad has the made the agreement with the County
contingent on the County paying any assessments levied by the
City against Railroad property for the proposed road
improvements, so it makes more sense to have the City of Coppell
deal only with the County, allowing them to execute the pending
agreement almost immediately.
Please call me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
'-~. Karlsruher, P.E.
Project Engineer
