City Council Minutes May 28, 2014 Mayor Kelly questioned staff regarding the fifth strategic point, and where does it fit within this strategy map.

She added if City Council wishes, staff can make changes to the strategic map. Mayor Kelly questioned staff regarding if the strategic points would move into this new map. Manager Lothery explained that this strategic map would replace those initial strategic points. Councilmember Wollin questioned staff regarding the Gallup Employee Survey. City Manager Jennifer Fadden stated other cities and organizations have used this survey, and the objective is to ask more engagement questions, rather than to gather satisfaction ratings with employees. She stated the results from the survey will help with what to focus on moving forward with improvements. Councilmember Wollin questioned staff regarding if this will be done every other year. City Manager Jennifer Fadden replied yes, it will be off-set from the Citizens Survey. Mayor Kelly questioned staff regarding if the departmental maps may or may not include ail points.

City Manager ]ennifer Fadden stated perhaps a resolution can be adopted, with a footnote on the outcomes which helps to establish the timeframe moving forward. Councilmember Wollin questioned staff regarding the Citizens Survey date change. Manager Lothery replied the reason for proposing those dates allows for more planning by the time the detailed results come out from the actual survey. She added it makes sense to help with the long-term strategic planning and with the individual department business plans. City Council Minutes May 28, 2014 City Councilmembers concurred with moving forward with the strategic plan, and Councilmember Wollin stated she appreciates the detail of this plan. 3b Financial Forecast and Draft Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) Strategic Services Manager Adrienne Lothery presented this item and briefing to the City Council.

City Manager Jennifer Fadden explained the BRAC to Councilmember-elect Chris Putnam. Mayor Kelly questioned staff regarding if the two percent increase is across the board. Manager Lothery explained the differences in the numbers is based on the split-out of personnel expenditures in subsequent years. City Manager Jennifer Fadden explained it is a flat two percent as a place holder for financial purposes only. Councilmember Mogged questioned staff regarding the fund expenditures for water and sewer. Manager Lothery replied those are completely out of drainage funds. Mayor Pro Tem Taylor questioned staff regarding the redesign of the Colleyville Center. City Manager Jennifer Fadden stated the worksession is scheduled for ]une 30, and it will be a visioning and brainstorming worksession for the City Council desires of the grounds for Colleyville Center.

Councilmember Mogged questioned staff regarding the completion date for items such as Kingston Estates. Director Lowry stated the estimated timeframe for this project is about nine months; Lavaca Trail will take about six weeks; Jewel Estates is complete; the Jackson and Cheek-Sparger Road roundabout November 2014; and the Pleasant Run Road project from Veranda to Bogart will take about seven months. He stated the City Council will have a worksession on June 24 regarding SH26. Mayor Kelly questioned staff regarding if there will be an honest estimate about the SH26 project and completion of Phase I. Director Lowry replied he will forward the best information he has available. Councilmember Mogged stated there will be two areas along Cheek-Sparger Road that will be under construction at the same time. Director Lowry replied yes; however, given the distance between the two projects, there should be no issues with traffic. Mayor Pro Tem Taylor questioned staff regarding the Phase I construction of Glade Road, is it Bluebonnet Road to Bransford Road? Director Lowry replied yes, including the roundabout at Bransford Road. Mayor Kelly questioned staff regarding the cost increase for the Bedford Road retaining wall. Director Lowry replied most of the cost is for traffic control. Councilmember Hart questioned staff regarding if the County will participate in the miscellaneous major asphalt maintenance. Director Lowry stated they will only help with one project a year, and currently they are committed to the Lavaca Trail project. Mayor Pro Tem Taylor questioned staff regarding the $1 million set aside for the street maintenance, is that now being included in the CIP? Director Lowry stated some of the maintenance was diverted to Pleasant Run Road, and the Kingston Estates project, since there is no money for street reconstruction. Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated there needs to be a constant increase included for the cost of inflation. City Manager Jennifer Fadden stated there is actually $1.4 million dollars built into the general fund budget on an annual basis since fiscal year 2013 for street maintenance. She stated the last two years, and until fiscal year 2018, there is $1 miliion budgeted annually, which totals $2.4 million each year. She added some or all has been used for reconstruction, since there is no budget for street reconstruction. City Council Minutes May 28, 2014 Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated his biggest concern is that there appears to be a steady economic growth, however, the inflation costs are increasing. Councilmember Mogged stated the shortfall gap is increasing, and to remain even, the annual costs increase as well. Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated he does not expect to get caught up. He stated his concern is that there is no way to predict the unknown, especially with the weather conditions and the effects of such on the streets. Mayor Kelly stated in the past, there was money taken away from street maintenance and moved to other departments, which has caused the problem. Councilmember Hart stated the street maintenance fund used to be $350,000, then moved up to $1.4 million. Councilmember Short stated the purchasing power has decreased because of the inflation cost. Mayor Pro Tem Taylor questioned staff regarding the White's Chapel bridge. Director Lowry stated that is our portion of the bridge stabilization. Councilmember Hart questioned staff regarding how long the stabilization will last. Director Lowry replied hopefully five or ten years. Mayor Kelly stated it is important to have the funding for Glade Road. Director Lowry replied it is TIF funding, and proposed in Fiscal Year 2015 for Phase I. Mayor Kelly questioned staff regarding if the miscellaneous asphalt maintenance is more for the non-local streets. Director Lowry replied it is almost entirely for non- local streets. He stated the arterial streets are more of a priority. Mayor Kelly questioned staff regarding all phases of the fiber build, can those all be done at once with a draw down on the Colleyville Tomorrow Fund? Information Systems Manager Chris Pena replied the fiber build is not just one or two phases, but those costs can be encumbered during the reconstruction of those streets, in the future by adding the conduit at the same time. Mayor Kelly questioned staff regarding if Phase I and II could be done at the same time. Manager Pena replied Central Fire Station and the Justice Center could be done at the same time during this phase. City Councilmembers concurred. Councilmember Mogged stated he is good with moving forward as long as it does not interfere with reconstruction of other projects. ?�TFF'�� � F r a C�ry of Col/eyvil'le `" , ...;, . ._.. .� .. ..,, . ...., , ... .. .. .. .... ,P�y&'$ ` City Council Minutes May 28, 2014 Mayor Pro Tem Taylor questioned staff regarding how deep the fiber will be buried. Director Lowry replied it will be buried about three to six feet, and with the equipment already on site, it makes the project easier with the reconstruction of the street. Councilmember Mogged questioned staff regarding the fiber and Pleasant Run Road. Manager Pena replied there is a remaining portion and there will be savings with using the street reconstruction. He further explained the remaining fiber builds. Mayor Kelly stated the benefit of service enhancements far outweighs the cost. City Manager Jennifer Fadden stated staff has done the analysis on the return on investment. Manager Pena added the current annual costs are $48,000, but rising and will increase $17,000 this year, for service enhancements based on capacity. He added there is a 20 percent increase with Time Warner Cable as well. He stated costs should decrease after the eighth year.

Mr. Babcock stated the demand in Colleyville does not constitute a farge fitness area. He stated the total facility utilization can be maximized, whereas currently overall it is underutilized. Mayor Kelly stated there is really not a good number of Coileyville seniors who use this facility. Recreation and City Events Manager Lisa Escobedo stated it is closer to 200 Colleyville residents who utilize the facility. Mayor Kelly stated he struggles with the cost of this, given the use by Colleyville residents. Mayor Pro Tem Taylor questioned Mr. Babcock regarding the competing factors.

Mr. Babcock replied those items would be included. City Manager Jennifer Fadden stated it could not compete with Colleyville Center.

Mayor Pro Tem Taylor questioned staff regarding the other needs for other parks. City Manager Jennifer Fadden stated there is undeveloped land behind the Senior Center; however, the caution with moving forward with the development of such, is that most parks are needing renovations due to their age, such as the replacement of restrooms and irrigation. Councilmember Mogged stated he likes option A.2, Phase I, but would like to see what the needs brought forth from the Colleyville Center worksession may be. City Manager Jennifer Fadden explained the consultant will need to analyze whatever has been recommended before moving forward. Councilmember Short questioned Mr. Babcock regarding the enhanced revenue opportunities, are they enough to put a dent in the need. City Manager Jennifer Fadden replied it will help with the additional operating costs, but revenue generation will depend on how City Council will want to approach the facility philosophically. She stated currently the Colleyville citizens utilize this facility for free. Mayor Kelly stated the Senior Center may find its niche to draw in those seniors.

She added there is a finite amount of money to distribute. Mayor Kelly questioned staff regarding the phasing of moving employees into the minimum range. City Manager Jennifer Fadden explained the plan is to move all employees into the new classification system. Mayor Kelly questioned staff regarding if the two percent includes this phasing. Manager Lothery stated it is separate. City Manager Jennifer Fadden replied it is an ongoing cost that has to be incorporated in the budget. Councilmember Mogged stated a good job has been done with making this more equitable, and making sure the employees are paid for their performance. Mayor Kelly stated unlike capital purchases being built-into the budget, the employee component had not been built into the budget in the past. Mayor Pro Tem Taylor questioned staff regarding what is going to be done to keep from falling behind the market. City Manager ]ennifer Fadden stated the recommendation is to complete a market analysis every three to four years; however, during the interim, there are data sources, essentially free, which may help with moving forward to keep up with the cost of inf�ation, and moving through the ranges.

Councilmember Wollin questioned staff regarding if the Citizens Survey reflected a need for this citizens academy. Manager Lothery stated not knowing if there was a specific question directly for a citizens academy, maybe more on being involved.

He stated there are other communities who have ambassador programs, which help residents in knowing what is going on in the City. Councilmember Mogged stated the Citizens Police and Fire Academies are outstanding. He stated this is more nebulous to him, and may seem too academic and not as effective. Councilmember Hart stated this seems like what Leadership Colleyville does. City Manager Jennifer Fadden stated staff put together this portion of Leadership Colleyville. Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated this takes a lot of staff time and may become a real distraction from the departments.
