WHEREAS, Section 43.052 of the Local Government Code, as amended by Chapter 1167,
Statutes of the 76th Legislative Session, also known as Senate Bill 89, 76th Texas Legislature,
requires all municipalities to adopt an annexation plan in conformance with Subchapter C, Chapter
43 of the Local Government Code; and,
WHEREAS, the purpose of the adoption of the aforesaid annexation plan is to designate
future annexations of property appropriate for such designation, said annexations to be complete
within a three year period following the adoption of the annexation plan; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Paris has previously appointed an Annexation
Committee to review and familiarize itself with the new requirements of the state statutes regarding
annexation; and,
WHEREAS, the aforesaid Annexation Committee has reviewed the new legislation affecting
annexations and has concluded and recommended that no properties be included in the annexation
plan because no properties required by State Law to be included in said plan were identified for
future possible annexation within the aforesaid three-year period; and,
WHEREAS, although the Annexation Committee did not identify properties required for
inclusion in said annexation plan, such failure to designate properties does not mean that other
properties not required to be placed in said annexation plan could not be considered for annexation
by the City in the future; and,

without the necessity of placing said properties in the annexation plan; NOW, THEREFORE,
