and the Transcontinental Railroad, Golden Age of Rail Travel: Life and Times on the Rails,

Cattle, Cotton, and Crude on the Rails, The Lives and Triumphs of the Pullman Porters and

many more. The Museum also offers outreachprograms,intemships and extensionprograms, all

one of a kind servicesthat benefit Dallas and its children.

But the Museum was running out of space.As eady as 2000, the Partiesrecognizedthat

the lack of spacewas hampering the growth of what was then called the Age of SteamMuseum.

In 2006, the Defendant commissioned and paid for a strategic plan on how to best grow the

Museum and its programs. The plan recommendedthat the Defendant must move to a site of at

least 9-15 acresin order to protect the integrity of the Collection, which had grown substantially

from its founding in 1963. The plan's greatestconcern was that the exhibits were jammed so

close together, that it was diffrcult for visitors to fully appreciatethe breadth and magnitude of

the Collection, which included a Big Boy steam locomotive, the world's largest. Further, some

historic pieces were stored off-site. Based upon the recommendationsof the plan, the Museum

looked at four different locations, including the south parking lot of Reunion Arena, the T&P

depot in Fort Worth, the Santa Fe depot in Fort Worth and a tract near the Missouri-Kansas-

Texasrail line along Denton Drive near Love Field. None of the sites were practical. Additional

attemptshad been made to locate the Museum in the old MKT railroad yard near dovrntcwn, or

in Dallas' West End. The MKT yard could not be used becauseof environmentalcontamination

and the West End attempt died for lack of support.

City Councilman Ron Natinsky, a self-professedrailfan, then spearheadedan effort to

move the Museum to an approximately Z-acretract outside of Fair Park, and secured$2.75 to

purchaseand condemn an adjacent 2 acres. In order to move, the Defendant was required to

raisea matching$235. The new locationproposedby Natinskywasunsuitablefor a varietyof

reasons. First, the shapeof the tract was not conduciveto a railroadmuseumand its tracks.

DART would not agreeto leave a siding in place which meantthat the Collectionwould be

stranded. And Natinsky proposedcondemningthe additional two acresnext door that was

occupiedby Triple S Dynamics,a century-oldmachineshopthat performedmachiningon the

Defendant'slocomotives. The Board of Trusteesfor the Defendantwas very uncomfortable

aboutcondemningpropertyto move the Museum. The Museumtrusteescautionedthe Plaintiff

that 4 acreswould still not be enoughland,basedupon the strategicplan. In addition,the new

proposedlocationwas substantiallyawayfrom anytraffic flow, andthe trusteesbelievedthat the

Museumwas doomedto failure if it movedthere.CouncilmanNatinskywas adamant,however,

that the Museumhad to move out of Fair Park in orderto providemoreparkingspacesfor the

Along camethe City of Frisco, an old railroadtown namedafter the St. Louis San

Museumin2007 to seeif it would be interestedin movingto Frisco.The City of Friscooffered

Friscopropertyallows the Museumto make every singlepieceof the Collectionavailablefor

viewingby the generalPublic.

The Museumwasreluctantto movefrom its homeof nearlyhalf a century,but the City'

specifically Ron Natinsky, was insistent that the Museum must move from Fair Park.

Reluctantly,the Board of Trustees acceptedFrisco's offer and Bob Laprelle met with

Some eighteenmonths after the Museum acceptedthe Frisco offer, the City sued the

Museum,allegingtrespassand nuisance.The City now wantsthe Museumout of Fair Parkby

August l, 2010, an absoluteimpossibility,and complainsthat 18 months shouldhave been

sufficienttime for the Museumto move its 37 locomotivesandrailcars,alongwith two historic

structures,out of Fair Park. Sucha task is Herculean,in that everythingmustbe movedacross

the BurlingtonNorthemSantaFe Railwaymain line to Frisco.Thereis no switchoff the BNSF

The land upon which the trackswill be built in Friscohas not beenpreparedand will require

substantialfill andcompaction.The movernentof the Collectionon the BNSF mainlinewill be

conductedby a seriesof "Hospital Moves", meaningthat only one or two locomotivesand/or

railcarswill be movedat a time in orderto minimizethe risk of derailment.Estimatedcoststo

move the entire Collectionto Frisco are $2.1 million, moneythat the Museumis desperately

trying to raise.

It is ironic that the City, the StateFair, and the Museumall want the samething the

move of the Museumto Frisco. Despitethis commonpurpose,with its lawsuit, the City is

causingthe Museumto spendmonieson legaldefensethat couldhavebeenspenton the moveto

appropriatepermits. Despite the response,city attorney Chris Caso again requestedthe same

information in an e-mail to the Museum's attomey, William J. Brotherton. Mr. Brotherton

provided the sameinformation to Mr. Casothat he had provided before. SeeExhibit"A", e-mail

between William J. Brotherton and Chris Caso dated February 11, 2010. Mr. Brotherton also

requestedconfirmation from Mr. Caso that the event would be left alone. Mr. Caso sent an e-

mail responseto Mr. Brotherton advising that the City would not disturb the event. See Exhibit

"B", e-mail betweenWilliam J. Brotherton and Chris Caso datedFebruary 12,2010. Despite the

promise by Mr. Caso and despite the fact that the Museum had provided the City with what it

requested,the event was raided by the City Health Department and armed TABC officers on

Saturdaynight, February 13, 2010. Despite this being a cateredevent, Bob LaPrelle was cited by

the Health Departmentfor smoked salmon appetizersthat the inspectorsbelieved were too wafin.

Mr. LaPrelle was also given a warning citation by the TABC, and the 36 guests of the event

were ordered to drop their wine glasses. Staff of the caterer overheardthe Health Department

personnel talking among themselves that they had to "push the Museum hard" and that they had

to find something to cite. This absurd raid, conducted on a Saturday evening during All-Star

weekend,when there were tens of thousandsof private parties going on throughout the City, was

a gross abuse of power and a malicious act that was used to put pressureon the Museum to

vacate the property on the City's scheduleand to the detriment of the Collection, the Museum,

and the generalpublic. Now, the City, through Councilman Natinsky, has publically threatened

to cut off the Museum's utilities: the electricity, gas and water. See Exhibit"C",blogUnfair

Park article. Natinsky has even threatened to attempt to recoup payment for past utilities

provided to the Defendant.

VIII.

It is probabie that the Museum will recover from the Cliti' after a trial on the merits

becausethe City has breached the implied contract with the Museum and is estoppedby its

Chris: When you and I spoke last week, I gave you all the information that resol-ved the
so-cal-Ied issues that you are raising again today. You advised me then that the matter
was resolved. I find it appalling that you have chosen to contact me on a snowy day just
before the Museum's maior fund-raisinq event and essentiall-v threaten to cancel the event
You told me when we first spoke that you conducted yourself in a professional manner
This conduct is hardly professionaL. If you intend to shut down the Museum's event, then
teLl me so that the Museum can go ahead and cancel- and attempt to recoup some of its
l-osses and to soften the blow to the 72 people who have paid to part.icipate in the "Dinner
in the Diner" event.

I will reiterate what I told you l-ast week. Further, since you have direct access to City
of Dall-as employees, you coul-d have confirmed easily what I'm tel-l-ing you now in this e-
m: i r . n h a a n . i^ ^ o f L i f e i s t h e c a t e r e r f o r t h e e v e n t . They have the TABC permit. The
Museum has been conducting these events since l-997 without ever havj-ng one probJ-em. The
city of course has been wel-I aware of these events. If you need to visit with the
caterer, her name is Sue Kollinger and she can be reached at 912-417-l-755. fn regards to
the food servj-ce permit, the permit number is 42227 and was obtained through the Dal-Ias
hcal,l.h dcnarl-mcnl, Itm SUre VOu can confirm that also,

As for the certificate of occupancy, this matter was investigated by DaIlas employee Anne
Hamilton. She told Bob LaPrelJ-e, the president of the Museum, that no further action was
requi-red by the Museum. As I have told you on a number of occasions, the Museumwas first
establrsbed as a joint effort of the City of Dallas and the State Eair of Texas back in
l-963 anc. was cal-Ied the Age of Steam Museum; in fact, the iai,'1 that the Museum slts on was
dedicated for that purpose by the State Fair and the City of DaLl-as. Any certificate of
occupancy would have been obtained by either the State Fair or the city at that time.
Perhaps you should review your records. I would also remind you that the reason the city
and the State Fair turned over the Age of Steam Museumto 1ts volunteer organization j-n
1963 was that the city and the State Fair had failed m i s e r a b l y in attempting to originally
operate the Age of Steam Museum. The first steam locomotive to go into Fair Park, in
1-949, was the Texas & Pacific #638. Dallas had promised T&P that it woul-dprotect the
l-ocomotive from damage and maintain it. After severaf years, che 538 was in a heavily
deteriorated state as a result of extensive vandal-ism, and the city el-ected to simply have
the l-ocomotive and its tender sent to the scrap yard in 1955. Under the vofunteer
organization, now known as the Museum of the American Railroad. the colfection has
flnrrriehaA rnrl ^rown. NOw, unfortunately, it appearS that the City of Dallas is intent
upon destroying the Museum, much like how it destroyed the T&P 638.

STATEOF TEXAS $
$
COLINTYOF DENTON $
BEFORE ME, the undersignedNotary Public, on this day personally appearedRobert

LaPrelle, who first being duly swom accordingto law on his oath deposedand said:

'oMy name is Robert LaPrelle.

I am the President and CEO of the Museum of the
American Railroad ("Museum"), Defendant and Counter-Plaintiff herein. I am over 21 years of
age and am fully competentto make this affidavit. I have personalknowledge of the facts stated
herein, and they are all true and correct.

oolhave been with the Museum for

over 20 years. Ever since I have been with the
Museum, we have operatedunder a mutual agreementwith the City of Dallas and the State Fair
of Texas. Under that agreement,the Museum has been charged with the responsibility of
maintaining all of the railroad locomotives and rolling stock, in addition to maintaining the site
that was dedicatedby the City of Dallas for exhibiting our collection. Either the City of Dallas
or the StateFair of Texas has always paid our electricity, gas and water. Within the last 20 years
or more, the City of Dallas has been paying the utilities. The State Fair collected much of our
railroad rolling stock and locomotives, and quitclaimed everything to us in 1990 without
reservation. We have always made all of our exhibits available for viewing by the public, and
ever since I have been with the Museum, we have continuously provided many educational
programsfor the citizens of Dallas and DISD schoolchildren.

"Dallas City Councilman Ron Natinsky has told me on a number of occasionsthat he

wants the Museum to move out of Fair Park. The reason he gave me was that the State Fair
wanted additional parking spaces. The City of Dallas is now trying to force the Museum off of
the dedicatedsite, by filing a lawsuit claiming that the Museum is trespassingand is a nuisance.
These allegationsin the lawsuit are completely false. The Museum is attempting to raise money
to move to a new site in Frisco, Texas. The Museum has received no money from Frisco, and
tire Frisco site requires considerablepreparation,track installation. and a switch installed from
the BNSF mainline. The City of Dallas, through Ron Natinsky and the city attorney's office, has
demandedthat the Museum move from the Fair Park site by August 1, 2010. I have told Ron
Natinsky on a number of occasionsthat the Museum could not move by August 1,2010, but that
we would be willing to agreeto move by August l,20lL The City respondedby filing its
lawsuit.

"In order to finance the move, and to help pay for the maintenancecost of the collection,
the Museum conducts various fundraisers. On February 13, 2010, we conducted such a
fundraiser called "Dinner in the Diner". Earlier that week, the City of Dallas sent health
inspectorsand code enforcementpersonnelto review our proceduresfor conducting a fundraiser,
which involved serving alcohol and a freshly prepared dinner. Everything was catered. The
Museum had been conducting its "Dinner in the Diner" event for approximately 15 years and

AFFIDAYIT OF ROBERTLaPRELLE - PageI

therehad neverbeena problempreviously. Oneof the so-calledconcernsby codeenforcement
was that the Museumdid not have a certificateof occupancyfor the DedicatedPropertyand
Collection. Any suchcertificateof occupancywould havebeenobtainedby the StateFair of
Texasback in 1947. Nevertheless,the City of Dallas sent Health Departmentofficials and
armedTABC offrcersto our 36-personevent. Eventhoughthe eventwas catered,I personally
was cited by the HealthDepartmentfor smokedsalmonappetizersbeing severaldegrees"too
wam". A copy of the citation is attachedto this affidavit. Further,I was personallygiven a
wamingcitationby the TABC officers,andthe Museumwasunableto servewine. Our patrons
wereunderstandably upsetat this bully tacticby the City of Dallas.

"The harassment by the City of Dallascontinuesto grow. Utilities personnelhavecome

out to the Museum,in preparation to not
of cuttingoff our utilities. Mr. Natinskyhasthreatened
only terminateour utilities, but attemptto recoverpastpaymentsof utilities from the Museum.
Suchactionswould destroythe Museum,as the Museumis a nonprofitwith limited resources.
Furtherit would endangercontinuingto makethe Museumcollectionavailableto the citizensof
Dallas and its schoolchildren, and we would be forcedto discontinueoffering our educational
programs.If the City of Dallascontinuesits actionsof harassment, the Museumcollectionwill
be irreparablyharmedand destroyed.Further,by the City of Dallas' actions,the Museumis
beingforcedto usemoniesthat havebeenbudgetedfor movingthe Museumto Frisco. Finally,
the lawsuitby the City of Dallashasput a cripplingdamperon fund raisingefforts."
