10 - DISANNEXATION REQUESTSItem No. 10
memorandum
TO: Mayor & Council
FROM: Stephanie H. Harris, City Attorney
SUBJECT: DISANNEXATION REQUESTS
DATE: May 10, 2016
BACKGROUND: The City Council has previously directed staff to proceed with the
disannexation of the following properties due to lack of City water and sewer services and the
City's inability to provide them with these services in a timely manner:
• Terry & Dedra Dollins, 3356 FM 79
• Peter & Lisa Zacharias, 3388 & 3384 FM 79
• Jessie Tucker, 3930 FM 79
• O.B. McCuin, 3928 FM 79
• Stacy & Shelia Pendergraft, 3790 FM 79
• Ronald Dockray, 3197 FM 79
• Carolyn Patterson, 2 acre tract, Rt. 1, FM 79 and 2.5 acres, FM 79
• Arthur & Joyce Lay, 3248 FM 79
• Carol Diggs, FM 79
The properties currently receive City Sanitation, Fire, EMS and Police Services. Upon
disannexation these services change to the property owner's choice in sanitation company, the
local volunteer fire department, and the Lamar County Sheriff's Department would be
responsible for Law Enforcement for the properties. The City would still provide EMS service.
STATUS OF ISSUE: This is the first public hearing for the proposed disannexation of 164.31
acres, being three tracts as follows:
A 1.16 acre tract, a 2.45 acre tract and a 160.7 acre tract located in the southeastern corner of the

south side of FM Hwy 79 including addresses ranging from 3194 FM Hwy 79 to 3930 FM Hwy
79, of the City of Paris, Lamar County Texas.
The metes and bounds descriptions of the three tracts and a map thereof are attached to the
attached proposed ordinance as Exhibit A.
PROCESS: The process for disannexing properties from the City of Paris requires two public
hearings over a 40 day period and publication of notice of the public hearing 10 -20 days prior, as
well as notice to Lamar County, school districts and railroad companies. Notice was published
in The Paris News on April 22, 2016. The first public hearing will take place on May 16, 2016,
the second public hearing will take place May 23, 2016, and the City Council may take action on
the proposed disannexation at its regular meeting on June 13, 2016.
BUDGET: Tax base reduction
RECOMMENDATION: Conduct the first public hearing on the disannexation as published on
April 22, 2016 in The Paris News.
