Mayor Frank Dugger of Allen welcomed the above Officials, representing the
City of Parker, to this Special Meeting called by the Officials of these two
Cities to try and work out a common boundry line between the City of Allen and
the City of Parker. This plan to be presented along with agreements from other
Cities in Collin County, to be worked up as a bill to be presented in the next
Legislature. These boundry lines be fixed while the land is still in the un-
developed stage so as to prevent a boudry line dispute between two or more
Cities in the future after the land has been developed. At thin point in the
meeting, Mayor bugger invited Mayor Bozeman to present his City's views as to
where they felt the boundry lines should be established.

owned by Metz Williams, Northward to the North boundry line of a Tract of land
owned by Henry Wyneken and then proceed Eastward, along a 300 foot strip of
land on each side of a gravel road, said gravel road being the North Line of
Tracts of land owned by F.E. Beddell, Jim Malone, W. Nash Shelley and L.V. Reid,
to a point in F.M. Road 2551; thence, Southward along said F.M. 2551, 300 feet
on each side to a point in F.M. Road 25111, better known as Parker Road. Mr.

Shelley had expressed a desire not to be in Parker City Limits that their Council
had agreed to release then from the incorporation.
Mayor Dugger, in answer to Mayor Bozeman's opening remarks, stated that the
City of Allen felt like that their road boundries were valid from a legal stand-
point, since they were established in 1962 and validated by the Texas Legislature.
The greater portion of this property mentioned by Mayor Bozeman is inside these
boundries. However, Mayor Dugger stated that he felt that the City of Allen
woald try to make some consessiona as to these boundries, if some workable sol-
ution could be worked out between the two Cities, to prevent beceming involved
in a law suit against the City of Parker.
Mayor Bozeman then made the following proposal, Beginning at a point in the
East line of Cottonwood Creek, said point being the Northwest corner of a Tract
of land owned by Metz Williams, Thence; East along the North line of said Metz
Williams Tract to a point in the East Right-Of-Way line of a gravel road, said
