PC-1 Presentation by Oncor Mr. Don Perfect, Area Manager and Randy Lloyd, Distribution Manager, Oncor Electric Delivery, updated the City Council regarding overhead and underground utility locations. Mayor Pro Tem Taylor questioned Mr. Perfect regarding the choice to bury the electric lines. Mr. Perfect replied the choice is mostly dependent upon the developer, but most opt to bury those lines. Mr. Perfect explained what then takes place when electric outages happen, and how service is switched to certain areas to allow for temporary electric service until repairs are made. Councilmember Mogged questioned Mr. Perfect regarding if Oncor is competing for the same right-of-way space with other utilities. Mr. Perfect replied they do have to work with those utility entities, and some lease space on the service poles. Councilmember Mogged questioned Mr. Perfect regarding the switchgear relative to the overhead transformer. Mr. Perfect replied it allows the overhead wires to be underground in the switchgear; therefore making transitions easier. City of Colleyville Page 1 City Council Minutes July 1, 2014 Councilmember Short questioned Mr. Perfect regarding the box he has located in his back yard. Mr. Perfect explained the voltage differences between a residential and a switchgear box. Mayor Kelly questioned Mr. Perfect regarding if there is a way to keep from crossing the wires over Colleyville Boulevard. Mr. Perfect replied it is possible; however, it could be too far for the service lines to reach properly. Mayor Pro Tem Taylor questioned Mr. Perfect regarding the next least expensive pole. Mr. Perfect replied fiberglass. Mr. Lloyd added the fiberglass poles will also stay straight; however, the maintenance time is increased in the event of a repair with a fiberglass versus a wood pole. He stated fiberglass poles are only used in areas in which there is accessibility; therefore, they are not used that much. Councilmember Short questioned Mr. Perfect regarding if they can encroach on the public right-of-way. Mr. Perfect replied they are limited to three feet, and given certain curves in the right-of-way, Oncor has to actually purchase some right-of- way to allow the services lines to align. Mayor Kelly questioned Mr. Perfect regarding what causes a transformer to blow up. Mr. Perfect replied wildlife, like squirrels. Mr. Lloyd added it is not related to the age of the transformer. Mr. Perfect stated there are different stages of protection that help to limit the amount of service outages. Councilmember Short questioned Mr. Perfect regarding if the green boxes on the ground are susceptible to the same types of outages. Mr. Perfect replied they are susceptible to cable failure, ants, snakes, and fires. Mayor Pro Tem Taylor questioned Mr. Perfect regarding the series of outages in Chelsea Park, would the new wiring help. Mr. Perfect replied the trimming of the trees should have helped, and the new wiring configuration will also help to reduce the outages with tree contact. Councilmember Mogged questioned Mr. Perfect regarding if it is a cost difference or regulatory difference that prohibits the burying of service lines. Mr. Perfect replied it is based on cost, and the choices made in the beginning of development. City Manager Jennifer Fadden questioned Mr. Perfect regarding the steps in designing the projects. Mr. Perfect replied they use the least cost design, meaning Oncor will do things in the most cost effective manner possible. Councilmember Short questioned Mr. Perfect regarding municipal regulations relative to underground utilities. Mr. Perfect replied some cities do drive those regulations; however, the developer would take on the cost of such. City of Colleyville Page 2 City Council Minutes July 1, 2014 Councilmember Short questioned Mr. Perfect regarding when the old poles go away once the new ones are installed. Mr. Perfect stated there are entities that are notified to get their utilities off of the poles. Mr. Lloyd added Oncor is actually moving those other utilities so that the poles can be removed immediately. Mayor Pro Tem Taylor questioned Mr. Perfect regarding what is used to fill the unused holes. Mr. Perfect replied Oncor will use dirt, and foam is used when setting the poles. Mayor Pro Tem Taylor questioned Mr. Perfect regarding the depth of the holes for the posts. Mr. Perfect replied usually between 8-12 feet deep. PC-2 Discussion of proposed animal control ordinance Police Chief Mike Holder presented this item and briefed the City Council. Councilmember Wollin questioned staff regarding the impound fee, is it per animal or per family. Chief Holder replied per animal, per occurrence. Councilmember Mogged questioned staff regarding if this is consistent across the board. Chief Holder replied yes. Councilmember Short questioned staff regarding if this is to discourage the use of private traps. Chief Holder replied no, it is to help manage those public health issues and be proactive. Mayor Kelly replied a private service would cost more for a trapped animal. Mayor Kelly questioned staff regarding if there are any issues with domestic animals. Chief Holder replied not so far. Councilmember Wollin questioned staff regarding the pages that are blank and left for reserve. Chief Holder replied those are space holders. Mayor Kelly questioned staff regarding if there is a need for a veterinarian to be on staff. Chief Holder stated the City of Keller does have a contract veterinarian, which works with the shelter to oversee the care. He added the local ordinance could address that issue. Councilmember Short questioned staff regarding if citizens were consulted regarding the updates. Chief Holder replied the City of Keller and the Humane Society were involved in the updates. He added that the Humane Society is running the adoption side of the shelter, and therefore, has helped with keeping those numbers low since more are being adopted. City of Colleyville Page 3 City Council Minutes July 1, 2014 Councilmember Short questioned staff regarding if there were any changes to large animals. Chief Holder replied no. PC-3 Discussion of health insurance bid results and recommendations Human Resources Manager Michelle Reyes presented this item and briefed the City Council. Amber Shaddox, Vice President of Client Services for Holmes Murphy was present to answer questions. Councilmember Mogged questioned staff regarding if Aetna views us the same, since we have already used them. Manager Reyes replied if we switch frequently, the carriers view us as a risky client, even if we have used that particular carrier in the past. She added the carriers like to see some stability with users of the plan. Mayor Kelly questioned staff regarding why Aetna would bid, if we are risky. Manager Reyes replied they are essentially trying to buy our business. Mayor Pro Tem Taylor questioned staff regarding the TML bid. City Manager Jennifer Fadden stated they are consistently higher than any other carrier, and Manager Reyes concurred. Manager Reyes added TML will insure municipalities when no one else will. Mayor Pro Tem Taylor questioned staff regarding if these rates are because of the national political impacts. City Manager Jennifer Fadden explained these rates would go into effect beginning October 1, 2014. Mayor Pro Tem Taylor questioned staff regarding the January fees. Manger Reyes stated the PPACA fees go into effect beginning in January 2015. Councilmember Mogged questioned staff regarding if there is a difference in doing business with Blue Cross Blue Shield versus Aetna. Manager Reyes replied Blue Cross Blue Shield’s reporting is very robust, which helps in the wellness programming for the employees. Mayor Kelly questioned staff regarding if the compensation package is at two percent within the budget. City Manager Jennifer Fadden replied yes. Mayor Kelly questioned staff regarding if there may be times when the funding has to be moved from compensation to the increase cost of health care. City Manager Jennifer Fadden replied that employees understand it is all the same pot of money for compensation and benefits. Councilmember Short questioned Ms. Shaddox regarding if there is a magic number in remaining with a company. Ms. Shaddox replied there is no magic number; however, staying with a carrier for three years helps to establish good standings. City of Colleyville Page 4 City Council Minutes July 1, 2014 Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated he likes not having to make a change. Councilmember Mogged stated these premiums are really competitive, however, is this an attempt to buy the low bid. Ms. Shaddox replied Holmes Murphy checks to ensure the incumbent is being fair with their rates. She stated we have negotiated with Blue Cross Blue Shield, given that their original bid was higher. City Manager Jennifer Fadden explained these are all worst case scenarios, and they are all dependent upon where the employees and their families will fall within the tier system. She added only 40 percent of the persons covered were actually in Tier 1. Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated these are the darkest numbers, in that there may be more of a net savings. City Manager Jennifer Fadden concurred. Mayor Pro Tem Taylor questioned staff regarding the savings from one year to the next. Manager Reyes replied there will be a savings of over $27,000 dollars, with the possibility of more, since not every employee will be on Tier 1. City Manager Jennifer Fadden stated the employees have worked really hard to be healthier so that the health insurance costs continue to decrease. Mayor Pro Tem Taylor questioned staff regarding if exercise is a component of the wellness program. Manager Reyes explained the different components of the wellness program. Councilmembers concurred with the recommendations of the Benefits/Wellness Committee.

Ms. Prater replied yes. City of Colleyville Page 9 City Council Minutes July 1, 2014 Mayor Kelly questioned Ms. Prater regarding where, in the November 25, 2013 plan, the revisions for this stone was allowed. Ms. Prater stated it is located in the landscape details section on the front page. Mayor Kelly questioned staff regarding if this does exist in the landscape plan on the front page. Director Ruthven replied no, the front page mentions Bermuda and monkey grass; however, on page two, the stone is mentioned for the landscaped islands. Mayor Kelly questioned staff regarding if the stone is shown for the island or for the landscaping around the trees. Director Ruthven replied it is shown for the parking lot island deeper in the plan; however, the main plan did not mention stone. Mayor Kelly stated being concerned that the work continued, even though it was not in compliance. Mr. Woodruff stated they were under a time crunch with Whole Foods grand opening, and therefore, they continued to put in the stone, but if it did not pass, then they could then remove the stone. Mayor Kelly questioned Ms. Prater regarding the actual type of stone being used, especially since what is currently in the island looks like gravel. Ms. Prater explained the differences in the types of stones. Mayor Kelly stated the appearance of the stone does not look good. Mr. Woodruff stated the long term effect will be the actual planting materials when they become mature. Councilmember Short questioned where there may be some examples of use of these types of stone. Ms. Prater replied she could provide some examples at the next meeting. Councilmember Wollin stated the artist renditions helped to distract from the hardscapes, such as the concrete. She stated this is not inviting and the original landscape plan did list certain plantings that were going to be used. Mayor Pro Tem Taylor concurred with Councilmember Wollin and Mayor Kelly. He stated this is not consistent with the work being done so far. He stated this looks messy and scattered, and the color contrast is not there. Mr. Woodruff stated the stones will change in color as the dust settles from the construction. He added they are trying to highlight the shrubs which will grow. Mayor Kelly stated the Land Development Code is very clear on what is required on the options. Mr. Woodruff stated he understood. City of Colleyville Page 10 City Council Minutes July 1, 2014 Mayor Kelly questioned Ms. Prater regarding if these plants will spread. Ms. Prater replied most are upright. Mayor Kelly questioned Ms. Prater regarding if the plantings are upright, then how will they fill in to cover the rocks? Ms. Prater replied the Knock-out Roses will get twice as wide and twice as tall. Councilmember Wollin stated not being in favor of this. She stated Asian Jasmine would be a good plant to use. Ms. Prater replied it is not susceptible to the watering restrictions and heat. Councilmember Wollin stated it may have something to do with the preparation of the soil. Ms. Prater stated it has died even with established plantings. Mayor Kelly questioned staff regarding if the landscaping in the Land Development Code is restrictive relative to other cities. Director Ruthven replied no. Mayor Kelly questioned staff regarding if there have been issues with diseased plants in the other landscaped areas in the established portion of the parking lot. Director Ruthven replied no. Councilmember Short stated he is in favor of more drought tolerate landscaping, but he stated he would like to see more examples, in a mature form. Mayor Kelly concurred, and stated he would like to see some mature examples. Mayor Kelly questioned Ms. Prater regarding the maintenance of the weeds. Ms. Prater replied the maintenance contractor will weed the islands every week. Councilmember Mogged questioned Ms. Prater regarding the preparation of the islands for landscaping. Ms. Prater explained how the contractor prepared the island for landscaping. Mayor Kelly stated he appreciates the effort for drought tolerant items; however, the addition of turf would soften the parking lot and concrete. Mr. Woodruff stated they did try to go above and beyond, and the stone did cost him much more. Mayor Kelly questioned staff regarding if natural mulch can be used. Director Ruthven replied the Land Development Code does have a listing of approved plants, and it does allow for an alternate determination that is appropriate and functional to the landscape plan. Mayor Kelly questioned Ms. Prater regarding if there is something that can be added to soften the look between the concrete and stone. Ms. Prater replied there are some options that could help to soften the islands. Mayor Kelly stated he would like some examples of how this would look. Councilmember Mogged suggested maybe they could use some other color of rock versus the existing one. City of Colleyville Page 11 City Council Minutes July 1, 2014 Mayor Kelly stated there is an inconsistency in the size of the rocks, maybe there could be a more tailored approach for better consistency. Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated the pictures are inconsistent with the comments, the stones are smaller than what has been explained. Councilmember Wollin concurred with Mayor Pro Tem Taylor, and stated river rock is almost six or eight inches in size. This was a first reading therefore; City Council did not take any action. 7.

Judy Chappell, 1716 Glade Road, thanked City Council regarding the decision for Glade Road, and stated she liked the flashing yellow lights on Colleyville Boulevard.

He stated he does not know all of the plans, but it does not seem that the public understands the plan. City of Colleyville Page 12 City Council Minutes July 1, 2014 Harold Whitten, 1209 Garry Lynne Drive, stated he is excited to see Colleyville grow and expand; however, there is a challenge with the Glade Road project.
