A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANNA, COLLIN COUNTY,
TEXAS, REQUESTING A SEAT FOR THE CITY OF MCKINNEY ON THE REGIONAL
TRANSPORTATION COUNCIL AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, perhaps nowhere in the Dallas -Ft. Worth Metroplex have the effects of
dramatic changes in population growth been fell morethan in Collin County and particularly
along the SH 121 corridor. Collin County has for several years been the fastest growing
county in Texas and second fastest growing county in the nation; and
WHEREAS, in 2000 the population in the City of McKinney was 54,369, and in October
2005 McKinney celebrated the arrival of its 100,000"' resident. By December of 2005
McKinney had grown to 102,900 residents; and
WHEREAS, McKinney's expected growth, based on North Central Texas Council of
Government projections for 2010 is set at 105,669; however, McKinney's present building
data indicates McKinney already has 104,853 residents. Based upon statistics, McKinney
has approximately 1,000 residents per month moving to McKinney, and projections indicate
a population of 160,000 in year 2010; and
WHEREAS, the City of Anna's population has grown from 1,250 residents in 2000 to a
current estimated population in 2006 of 6,600 persons; and
WHEREAS, the current population of Collin County is 678,000 and projected to be
1,166,700 in the year 2030. The City of Anna considers this projection to below because
Anna is experiencing similar rapid growth; and
WHEREAS, the Regional Transportation Council (RTC) plays a vital role in regional
transportation planning as a Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the Dallas -Ft.
Worth Metroplex through NCTCOG; and
WHEREAS, the population and growth of McKinney make the City of McKinney a logical
choice for a seat on the RTC to represent its interests and the interests of the other rapidly
growing cities and towns in the northern and eastern portions of Collin County.

OFANNA, TEXAS, THAT:
