vember, 2000, general election ballot and approved by the voters; and,

Texas Parks and Wildlife Code, requires the City Council to hold a public hearing to determine that
there is no feasible and prudent alternative to the use or taking of these park lands; and,
WHEREAS, reasonable measures will be taken to minimize harm to the park lands due to the
proposed use and takings; and,
