Ector Drive, Euless, Texas 76039-3595 RE: Electricity paid by Del Prado Apartments for street lights on Del Prado Drive. Dear Mr. Hart, In connection with the T. -Davis Subdivision, Del Prado Drive was dedicated to the City of Euless effective November 14, 1968. This was confirmed in the enclosed letter dated December 12, 1989 which was received December 14, 1988,by City of Euless. From 1969 to 1997 the cost of the electricity for the three public street lights located on Del Prado Drivv was paid by Del Prado Apartments rather than the City of Euless. According to information we received from T U Electric and the city of Euless, the cost of this electricity was $7.55 per street light per month. This information wa. confirmed in a memo to me dated May 21, 1998 from Denise Thompson, MI Prado Apartments' property ,nanager. (Copy enclosed) If my calculations are correct we have inadvertently paid the following amounts to T U for the City of Euless: 3 Pulificsireet fight on Del Prado Drive $ x 7 S5 per light per month $ 22.65 per°month Y. tZ months ' S 271 .80 per year N ZZ years $7,338.60 total electricity paid to T U by Del Prado Apartments rather than the City of Euless for the period 1969-1996. Would you please advisame, in -writing, when t might expect to receive a check reimbursing us for the electricity. we have paid for the City of Euless,during this period.

Davis Del Prado Apartments 928 Del Prado Drive Euless, TX 76040 Dear Mr. Davis: Thank you for your letter concerning the street lighting on Del Prado Drive. Your inquiry allowed us the opportunity to re -visit the platting files on this project, and we have confirmed your position. Del Prado Drive was dedicated to the City of Euless in 1968. In regard to the streetlights, street lighting is typically a service provided by the City, through our electric franchise, with T,U. Electric. However, all street lighting is not the complete responsibility of the local government, and W1 fact in many cases can be paid for by the customer or citizen. • Any street light installation to be paid by the City requires City approval and acceptance prior to allowing billing for said lights. In this case, we find no indication of City acceptance of the three streetlights in question. The fact that T.U. Electric continued to bill you clearly indicates that they were under no instruction to bill otherwise. We do understand that we have now accepted responsibility for payment of the three streetlights on Del Prado !Drive, and we are happy to provide this service into the future. Thank you for your inquiry. If we can be of f mh„ r assistance, please call (817) 685-1400. Sincerely, e C.

Ector Drive Euless, TX 76039-3595 Re: Payment of Electric Bills for Street Lights On Del Prado Drive Dear Joe; Thanks for taking the time to discuss our proposal for settling the issue of past payment of electric bills for the street lights on Del Prado Drive. In an effort to settle this matter and avoid the payment of legal fees, we propose that the City of Euless waive the collection of fees and late charges for accounts 24-000030-04, 24-000040-04 and 24-000050-04 for service at 928 Del Prado Drive for the period beginning 10/26/98 and ending approximately 12/31/98 as full consideration to Del Prado Apartments for the payment of electricity for the subject street lights on the public street known as Del Prado Drive from 1969 to 1997. I have enclosed three delinquent notices I received 12/18/98 from my on -site manager. I would appreciate your assistance in avoiding the interruption of water and scavenger services for the residents of Del Prado while we discuss the settlement of the street light issue. Thanks for your help and wish you a happy New Year. Sincerely, Terry A. D(is Enclosures Original by US Mail Cc: Matthew A.

Ector Dr. Euless, Texas 76039 Re: Street Lighting on Del Prado Drive Dear Joe, For many years the lighting on Del Prado Drive was provided by 175 Watt Mercury Vapor guard lights paid for by the Del Prado Apartments. In November of 1995 the City of Euless assumed ownership of the lighting on Del Prado Drive. The City wanted to reconfigure the street lighting arrangement and TU Electric removed four existing 175 Watt Mercury Vapor guard lights and installed three 100 Watt High Pressure Sodium street lights. On November 13, 1995 we removed four guard lights from the Del Prado Apartments billing and began billing the City of Euless for three street lights. I hope this explanation and the attached documents will be helpful in understanding the lighting situation on Del Prado Drive. Please call me if you have any questions at all about this information. attachment Si erely, Bob Burns 200 N.

(616) 983-7177 Per our conversation earlier today related to your request for reimbursement for electric service provided on Del Prado Drive, I would offer the following proposal to resolve the issue: 1. Del Prado IV will pay all outstanding charges, including penalties on the three (3) Del Prado water service accounts with the City of Euless. These accounts are as follows: Account # 24-000030-04 - Account #24-000040-04 - Account #24-000050-04 - Balance Due - $2092.43 Balance Due - 871.42 Balance Due - 1137.01 Total - $4100.86 2. Upon receipt of payment in full of the above account, the City of Euless will forward to Del Prado IV a payment of $5,000 as reimbursement for electric service related to street lighting on Del Prado Drive. I trust this proposal accurately details our conversation and meets with the approval of your trustees. If so, please forward your payment to my attention so that I may process you reimburse- ment as soon as possible. Sincerely, Gary L. McKamie Deputy City Manager CC: Joe C.

The outstanding amounts provided to you by Mr. McKamie were valid when they were given to you on July 1, however, since the bills were not paid prior to the July 7 billing, a 10% penalty was added to each account. I have spoken to Mr. McKamie and since you were not made aware that this penalty would be assessed on your next bill (July 7), we have agreed to credit each of your accounts for the amount of the July 7 penalty.
