R65-1 WHEREAS, it is our understanding that congressional redist- ricting legislation is in the final stages of consideration in the Texas Legislature and, aft.. WHEREAS, it appears that several plans for assigning parts of Tarrant County to adjoining Congressional districts are under consideration: Therefore, be it resolved by the City Council of the City of Grapevine, Texas: That the Mayor and City Council of the City of Grapevine urgently express the desire of this and the surrounding area to be retained in the district with Fort Worth and the other cities of northeast Tarrant County. But if this is not practicable then we hope to be placed in a district including the northwest part of Dallas County and the northeast part of Tarrant County, these being areas with which we have a great deal in common. We do not wish to be placed in a district with remote areas to the north and west whose interests are so different from ours that we could expect little effective representation in Congress under such an arrangement and, that, Be it further resolved, that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to our State Senator and our Representatives in the Legislature. Passed and approved this 19th day of January 1965, at the City Hall in Grapevine, Texas, by a unanimous vote of the City Council of the City of Grapevine , Texas. Ira E. Woods Mayor ATTEST: o .
