Dear Mr. Griggs:

The School Board of Trustees at their meeting last night discussed several
items relative to development and improvement of school facilities in the
eastern area of the School District. Some of these items need immediate
attention, and it would be appreciated if'they could be considered at tonight's
council meeting..
1. Agreed to accept the informal offer of the City to assess the School
District $18,700 as its share of the installation of curb, gutter, paving, and
culvert in proposed Municipal Way adjacent to Trinity High School.
2. Agreed to pay one-half of the costs for the installation of a street
across the north end of the Euless Junior High School tract and rearranging of
the play fields. The estimate of cost for each entity follows. (We might
mention that these estimates could be too low, especially if problems are en-
countered in rearranging the fill on the main football field.)
Installation of street, 920 lineal feet P $16. . . . . . $14,720
Installation of 61 chain link fence along school side of
street with 50 feet additional at either end, 10201

3. Asked that the City sell the School District about eight acres of the
20-acre park site for a proposed elementary school. (This is the one we have
discussed before.) The policy of the School District has been to allow the
Cities to purchase park acreage from the School District at the price the
School District paid for the land plus interest on the applicable bonds during
the period since the original purchase..
Mr. C. J. Griggs, City Manager 2 February 10, 1970
a 4. Authorized the administration to purchase ten acres from the firm of
r5k Ken Good and Associates out of the George L i nney survey for a proposed ele-
mentary school. If the City still wishes to purchase two acres abutting
this school tract for a park, we will be glad to work with you.
5. Received a report from the administration that the elementary school
tract offered by Ken Good near his proposed apartment complex east of North
Main and south of Midway Drive is not suitable for an elementary school. The
only street abutting the site is a proposed thoroughfare, the tract is irreg-
urally shaped, and the drainage structure that crosses it makes a portion of
the land unusable. A conversation with Ken Good relative to the moving of
the site farther east, possibly to the proposed north -south street, received
an offer to sell but at an exorbiant price. If apartment zoning continues to
be approved, the School District will definitely need a site in this area.
It would be appreciated if the City in its power to approve the orderly develop-
ment within its bounds could assist the School District in acquiring a suitable
site in this area.
If our summary of the above is not clear, please call on us.
Sincerely,
Charles W. Wages
