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.
