A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WICHITA
FALLS, TEXAS, DETERMINING NECESSITY FOR ACQUISITION OF
A UTILITY EASEMENT IN WESTMORELAND PARK, APPROVING THE
APPRAISAL, SETTING JUST COMPENSATION, AND AUTHORIZING
PURCHASE OR CONDEMNATION; FINDING AND DETERMINING THAT
THE MEETING AT WHICH THIS ORDINANCE WAS DISCUSSED WAS
OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AS REQUIRED BY LAW.
WHEREAS, it has been determined that a portion of the six-
inch water line serving the Westmoreland Park Addition was
apparently located in error and not in accordance with the
developer's plan; and,
WHEREAS, the Public Utilities Division has requested that a
utility easement be obtained to cover the actual location of the
line.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS, THAT:
SECTION 1. It is necessary that the City of Wichita Falls
acquire a utility easement on the hereinafter described property
located in Wichita Falls, Wichita County, Texas, to cover the
actual location of the six-inch water line.
SECTION 2 . The legal description of the tract to be
acquired is as follows:
A 1, 107 square foot tract, more or less, out
of Lot 1-A, Block 120, Westmoreland Park
Addition, Wichita Falls, Texas.
SECTION 3 . The amount of just compensation for the utility
easement to be acquired is $554.00. This amount is the fair
market value determined by Henderson Appraisal and Consultants,
who were employed by the City to appraise the tract.
SECTION 4. In the event the Property Administrator is
unable to purchase the parcels for the appraised value, the City
Manager is authorized to increase the offer when, in his
judgment, it appears to be in the best interest of the City to do
so to save the cost of condemnation. If both parties are unable
to agree upon a value for the property, the City Attorney is
hereby authorized to institute condemnation proceedings to obtain
such property in the name of the City of Wichita Falls for the
acquisition of a utility easement in Block 120 of Westmoreland
Park Addition.
SECTION 5. It is hereby officially found and determined
that the meeting at which this resolution was passed was open to
the public as required by law.
PASSED AND APPROVED this the 3rd day of May, 1994.
