RE: City Limit Signs
Dear Mr. Daniels:
I hereby request that the city limit signs for the City of Paris be relocated in accordance
with the enclosed annexation ordinance on the following highways:
1. U.S. Highway 271 North
2. U.S. Highway 19/24 South
3. U.S. Highway 82 West
4. F.M. Highway 1510 West
5. U.S. Highway 271 Southwest
As per your request, enclosed are the following:
1. Ordinance No. 97-059, passed and adopted on the 15th day of December, 1997,
which authorized the annexation of approximately 5,389.031 acres;
2. Map showing the new city limit locations on the above-listed highways after the
adoption of the enclosed Ordinance No. 97-059;
3. Resolution No. 98-067, passed and adopted on the 8th day of June, 1998, which
authorized the execution of this letter.
The Engineering Department of the City of Paris will place surveyor's stakes in the
requested locations immediately prior to the installation of the relocated signs.
As you are aware, certain areas described in the enclosed annexation ordinance are in
dispute; therefore, we are not, at this time, requesting that signs in those areas be relocated or that
any signs be changed to reflect a different population.
