RESOLUTION DECLARING NECESSITY FOR ACQUIRING,
AND APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE ACQUISITION
BY PURCHASE OR CONDEMNATION NEEDED RIGHT-OF-
WAY FOR A PROPOSED EXTENSION OF WHITE STREET
BETWEEN CALIFORNIA STREET AND OLD JACKSBORO
HIGHWAY.
WHEREAS, it has been decided to remove the California Street
bridge over Holliday Creek in order to facilitate the flow of flood
waters; in order to provide needed access to residents living along
Olen and White streets, it is necessary to extend White Steeet
between California Street and Old Jacksboro Highway.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN OF
THE CITY OF WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS, THAT :
SECTION 1. It is necessary to acquire fee simple title to
a tract of land for street right-of-way for such proposed White
Street extension between California Street and Old Jacksboro
Highway. Such tract shall be 50 feet wide, and its exact conforma-
tion and location shall be determined by the City Manager.
SECTION 2. The City Manager is authorized to employ a qualified
appraiser to appraise such tract, and is authorized to purchase
such tract in the name of the City of Wichita Falls for the amount
of the appraisal. He is further authorized, when in his judgment
it appears to be in the best interest of the City to do so, to pur-
chase such tract for more than the amount of the appraisal in
order to save the estimated cost of condemnation.
SECTION 3. In the event the City Manager is unable to purchase
such tract for such approved price, he is hereby authorized and
directed to cause to be instituted condemnation proceedings to ob-
tain such tract in the name of the City of Wichita Falls, Texas.
PASSED AND APPROVED this the 28th day of May, 1982.
