I don't know that all three points necessarily need to be in the same resolution, but it might make things easier for you to do it ail at once. As far as a timeline goes, we're are still looking at letting this project in August 2010. If the city is going to go to construction on Collegiate in next Spring, then a resolution anytime prior to that should be fine for us. All- If I'm missing anything or if you have further insight into this project, piease let Shawn and Duane know. Thanks Dan Shawn Napier <snapierCulparistexas.aov> 5/26/2009 1:23 PM Dan, Mike and I talked this moming about our time line for getting direction from City Council and the following steps. We will be taking the information to our City Council on June 8"' to get direction in how they want to proceed. I will be pulling information together to inform council on what the next steps are to make this project work for everyone. Can you give me a timeline on when we need to acquire ROW and how soon you need the statement that Council will be funding this project and doing a three way agreement between the City, School and TXDOT? Am I missing anything you can think of? Shawn Napier, P.E. City Engineer / Director of Public Works City of Paris (903) 784-9292 Fax (903) 784-1798 snapier@paristexas.aov ! y -4 229 4.~
