ST9904-CS011119 MEMORANDUM

From: Ken Griffin, P.E., Director of Engineering/Public Works
Date: November 19, 2001
RE: S.H. 121 Project No. ST 99-04
This memo is written in regard to the Interlocal Agreement between the City of Coppeli and
Denton County concerning the City's portion of construction for the referenced project. The
lnteriocal Agreement approved by City Council on January 11, 2000 stated that once the
project reached Priority II the City would pay the yearly payments of $400,000 up to the
cumulative total of $2,000,000.
I recently received information that both CSJ 0364-02-017 and CSJ 0364-03-064 have
reached Priority I status. These are the two sections of S.H. 121 referred to in the lnteriocal
Cooperation Agreement. Because we have reached Priority I status, the City of Coppell
should make the first annual payment to Denton County for our portion of the S.H. 121
Construction.
If you have any questions please give me a call.
Thanks,
Ken
