RESOLUTION NO. 84-20
A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING A GENERAL POLICY CONCERNING
THE PURCHASE OF EASEMENTS
Be it resolved by the City Council of the City of North Richland
Hills, Texas, that:
1.
The City shall not engage in the practice of purchasing drainage
easements for the purpose of solving flooding problems.
2.
Where flooding exists and there is no city drainage system installed
and when one is needed, the City will attempt to obtain drainage easements
from property owners in order to install adequate drainage at City's expense,
but the property owner in the affected area will be expected to grant such
easements at no expense to the City.
3.
This policy is established on the premise that citizens of North
Richland Hills should help to solve and/or relieve flooding conditions and in
the spirit be willing to make the necessary drainage easements conveyance
without expectation of actual monetary compensation.
PASSED AND APPROVED this 9th day of July, 1984.
