Dear Mr. Van Ness:
Since my letter of May 31st addressed to you, I personally
contacted Mr. Scott Balch, Senior Project Manager, Lacy
Construction and in charge of the Denton Tap project.
I inspected the intersection and noted that forms had been
erected and some concrete poured. I have contacted Mr.
Jerry Lacy, owner of Lacy Construction, and asked him to
personally review the progress of this job and in
particular, the Meadowcreek Drive intersection. Under the
existing contract, the City of Coppell does not have direct
authority in dictating how the contractor schedules the
paving on this project, and any attempts to direct him could
cause the City to assume total responsibility and liability
for the project.
You are aware of the excessive rains we have received since
our last communication, and since I was assured by Mr. Balch
that they plan to make Meadowcreek Drive a priority and get
it opened as quickly as possible, I believe that as soon as
weather permits they will proceed with their efforts to open
Meadowcreek Drive.
I will continue to monitor the project and hope you will
continue to be patient. We all want this road completed as
soon as possible, but I suspect will have to wait for the
weather to cooperate.

I will forward a copy of your June 12th letter to Mr. Balch
and Mr. Lacy so they will continue to be aware of your
concerns and feelings. Feel free to contact the owner, Mr.
Lacy, or the Project Manager Scott Balch if you feel it
appropriate. I will also be happy to discuss this matter
with you if you wish.
Sincerely,
Alan D. Ratliff
City Manager
