JOINT RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, the City of North Richland Hills will be conducting City
Council Elections and such other matters as may be placed upon the ballot
by the governing body of said City on April 4, 1987; and,
WHEREAS, on April 4, 1987, Tarrant County, will conduct a County
Bond Election; and,
WHEREAS, it is the finding of the governing bodies of the parties
hereto that the joint conduct of such elections would result in substantial
savings to the taxpayers of the governmental entities required to conduct
such elections and that such savings would be realized if the elections,
where possible, be held in the same location, utilizing the same personnel,
with the two governmental entities sharing the expenses incurred in the
conduct of this election; and,
WHEREAS, all the eligible voters of Tarrant County shall be
entitled to vote in the election to determine the question of confirmation
of the Tarrant County Bond issue.
NOW THEREFORE, be it hereby resolved jointly, by the City Council
of the City of North Richland Hills and the Commissioners' Court of Tarrant
County, Texas, that these two entities, where possible, shall conduct said
elections jointly on April 4, 1987, and that in the event there are
election precincts which include incorporated territory lying within the
limits of the said City and unincorporated territory, lying outside the
limits of any city, that said voters from the unincorporated territory
shall be allowed to vote only on the question of the Tarrant County Bond
issue; while those voters who are residents of the City shall be allowed to
vote on the City Council races and such other matters as may be placed upon
the ballot by the governing body of said City, and upon the confirmation of
the Tarrant County Bond issue; and,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City of North Richland Hills and
the County of Tarrant shall have separate voting devices, ballots, and list
of registered voters, (County ballots will have corner codes that make it
impossible for the City devices to accept County ballots.) The County
ballots will be color coded to make it easier for the Election Judges and
Voters to differentiate between ballots.
