area of the city and is the city's major growth area. Bill Witt
Park is located between the two tracts. During the 1940s, Bill
Witt Park and Rodd Field Village served as government military
installation functions. Because Rodd Field Village (Tract C-i) was
developed prior to city code enforcement, that area remains
unplatted.

annexed areas to an optimum level of service:

and gutters, and will assume maintenance of city gas, water and
sewer ~acilities in place within 60 days of the effective date of
annexation.
Tract C-2 CMC Steel Group
Improvements in place include a road without curb and gutter;
water and sewer services are available. The City will assume
maintenance of any new streets, curbs and gutters, and will assume
