Resolution #R8-91
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF BANGER, DENTON COUNTY,
TEXAS, RECOGNIZES THE NEED FOR ORDERLY ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT IN SPARSELY POPULATED AREAS OF
GENERAL LAW MUNICIPALITIES.
House Bill 19 0 filed by Representative Hen Campbell, and
Senate Bill 1450 filed by Senator Whitmire, would severely
hamper the orderly development of general law municipalities.
The apparent purpose of House Bill 1950 and Senate Bill 1450 is to
assist certain parties in removing the Circle T Ranch from the
jurisdiction of the Town of Westlake;
The disannexation of the Circle T Ranch would splinter the Town of
Westlake into six noncontiguous parcels, thereby effectively destroying the
Town of Westlake;
The passage of such a bill. could wreck havoc in general law
municipalities;
Senator Chris Harris and Bob Glasgow, apparently recognizing the
severe harm which could accrue to general law municipalities under such
bill, refused to sponsor such bill in the Texas Senate.
Be It Resolved by the City Council of the City of Sanger:
The City of Sanger strongly opposes the enactment of House Bill
1930 and Senate Bill 1450)
The City of Sanger strongly opposes any amendment to the
Government Code which would have the effect of permitting the
disannexation of any area from a general law municipality without the
consent of such municipality.
Approved and passed this 6 th day of May, 1991.
