PC-1 Presentation and discussion of the 2014 Water and Wastewater Master Plan
City Engineer Jeremy Hutt presented this item, and introduced Jeff Sober, Lance
Clement, and Jeff Snowden with Garver, LLC, who briefed the City Council.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor questioned Mr. Sober regarding standardizations with the
sampling of manholes assessed. Mr. Sober replied there was not consistency
throughout Colleyville with the type of manhole installed; therefore, they are all
fairly different; however, 33 percent of the manholes assessed were consistent in
the way in which they were installed.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor questioned Mr. Sober regarding the criteria used for
choosing those manholes. Mr. Sober replied it was based on an eight inch pipeline
system; however, it did include some manholes with a six inch capacity, but only if
they impacted the eight inch pipeline.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor questioned Mr. Sober regarding if any were related to
fencing or security issues. Mr. Sober replied as it relates to TCEQ, the evaluation
was meeting the minimum security and safety standards.
Councilmember Mogged questioned Mr. Sober regarding if a lack of flow can
become an issue. Mr. Sober replied yes, and some of those were identified.
City of Colleyville Page 1
City Council Minutes December 16, 2014
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor questioned Mr. Sober regarding the difference between
Priority 1 and Priority 2 projects relative to manholes. Mr. Sober replied Priority 1
equals a poor condition rating, and Priority 2 equals a fair condition rating, and
they are outlined in the proposed master plan.
Mayor Kelly questioned Mr. Clement regarding if model adjustments were made to
take into consideration the newer subdivisions, such as Remington Park. Mr.
Clement explained how those newer subdivisions are contributing to the aging of
the sewer system.
Councilmember Mogged questioned Mr. Clement regarding if the slope issue is
from the initial installation or a soil shift. Mr. Clement replied it could be a
combination of those factors, as well as improper installation or pipe shifting.
Councilmember Mogged questioned Mr. Clement regarding what might help to
minimize those issues, so that it is not an issue for the future. Mr. Clement replied
it begins with the modeling phase of the project, design, and using the correct
materials for construction. Engineer Hutt added survey grade documents are
required to verify the installation is done correctly.
Mayor Kelly questioned Mr. Clement regarding if future developments were
considered with the assessment. Mr. Clement replied yes.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor questioned Mr. Clement regarding if there is a 50 percent
increase in capacity with a four to six inch pipe. Mr. Clement replied it is not a
straight percentage increase, it is relative to diameter and pipe slope.
Mayor Kelly questioned Mr. Clement regarding if there is an opportunity to work
with the three existing service units in the southern portion of town, rather than
an elevated storage tank. Mr. Clement replied yes, and further explained needs
for the area.
Mayor Kelly questioned Mr. Clement regarding if the modeling on the future usage
is a Citywide average or based on location. Mr. Clement replied they used the
existing build-meter data and then applied the future land use plans for
development. He added it is residential specific, and based on the existing usage.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor questioned Mr. Clement regarding the difference between
the high and low plane areas. Mr. Clement explained the differences and added
that the elevated storage tank at McDonwell School Road, in the high plane, has a
higher level of water than the elevated storage tank at Hall-Johnson Road, in the
low plane, due to maintaining the level of capacity Citywide.
Councilmember Short questioned Mr. Sober regarding if the City-identified projects
were considered in this modeling. Mr. Sober replied yes.
City of Colleyville Page 2
City Council Minutes December 16, 2014
Councilmember Mogged questioned Mr. Sober regarding if the CIP takes into
consideration the ongoing aging of the infrastructure. Mr. Sober replied yes, and
depending on the material and the installation the expected end of life is noted in
the modeling and the master plan.
Councilmember Mogged questioned Mr. Sober regarding the total asset structure
cost. Mr. Sober stated these are replacement costs.
Mayor Kelly questioned Mr. Snowden regarding if this structure is in addition to the
2,000 gallons given on the residential impacts. Mr. Snowden replied he has
consolidated all of the impacts with these changes.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor questioned Mr. Snowden regarding the number of meters in
the City. Mr. Snowden stated the 4,227 number on the slide is incorrect, it should
be 9,414 live meters in the City.
Councilmember Putnam questioned staff regarding if this does not take into
consideration the raw water increase. City Manager Jennifer Fadden replied
correct.
Councilmember Putnam stated in the end, citizens will see about a 15 percent
increase. Mayor Kelly concurred. Mr. Snowden replied these rates are reflective
of the ordinance, which include the pass through for purchases from TRA.
Councilmember Mogged questioned Mr. Snowden regarding the CIP funding. Mr.
Snowden replied the retail rates will need to be adjusted in 2019 to keep up with
growth and expenses.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor questioned staff regarding if the end balance reflects the
transfers to the General Fund. City Manager Jennifer Fadden replied yes.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor questioned Mr. Snowden regarding if the funding of the
entire CIP is in addition to the already projected increases. Mr. Snowden stated
these changes do not include anything other than what this model reflects, such as
TRA increases.
Councilmember Putnam would like to see a matrix with all of the projected
increases. Councilmember Mogged concurred.
Mayor Kelly stated additional revenues may need to be shown, since the City does
not absorb the TRA increases.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor questioned Mr. Snowden regarding the funding of the entire
CIP. Mr. Snowden stated the model is reflective of about 45-50 percent of the CIP
being funded, through 2019, with the remainder to be funded by other means.
City of Colleyville Page 3
City Council Minutes December 16, 2014
Councilmember Putnam questioned Mr. Snowden regarding if the $11.2 million of
the previous CIP program is being absorbed by the $55 million. Mr. Snowden
replied yes.
Councilmember Mogged questioned Mr. Sober regarding the future of the CIP
program. Mr. Sober replied the CIP program will never go away; it will be
revisited every five years.
City Manager Jennifer Fadden stated some assets have a longer life-span than 50
years. Mr. Sober concurred.
Mayor Kelly stated some thought needs to be given on these numbers to be able
to incorporate them into the City’s needs, just like streets. He stated this will give
us a program to follow.
Councilmember Putnam stated he would like to see the raw data from the comps
from other cities, such as a bill design example.
Councilmember Putnam stated he would like to have a discussion in context of the
raw water increases to better understand how those will impact capital decisions.
City Manager Jennifer Fadden asked City Council if they would like more
information. Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated he would just like to know how it will
hit the pocketbook. Councilmember Putnam stated he would like to know the
City’s identified triggers.
Councilmember Mogged stated he would like to have a sensitivity analysis done to
see what it means to do these over time.
Mayor Kelly asked Mr. Sober if there is a listing of all projects with all of the
variables. Mr. Sober replied yes.
City Manager Jennifer Fadden stated staff will aim to bring this back at the next
Pre Council meeting so the rate structure can be done in advance of the budget
process.
PC-2 Discussion and update on the SH26/Colleyville Boulevard School Safety Zone
There was no presentation or briefing given by staff for this item.
Mayor Kelly stated the school zone could be removed during the reconstruction of

City Council Minutes December 16, 2014
Mayor Kelly questioned staff regarding the opposition map. Director Ruthven
replied the opposition stands at 14 percent.
Mayor Kelly questioned staff regarding roadway ownership. Director Ruthven
stated Roberts Road is not a right-of-way, it is a public easement which allows
public access. City Manager Jennifer Fadden stated the City has prescriptive
rights.
Mayor Kelly questioned Mr. Atkins regarding the open space requirements. Mr.
Atkins replied there have been variations to this development; however, the
justification is that the open space is sufficient to the yield of the property, almost
17 percent of the overall property. He stated it is adjacent to a school with
substantial open space. He stated two lots could be eliminated to meet the open
space requirements, and that he would be willing to do so, if City Council deems it
necessary.
Mayor Kelly asked Mr. Atkins if the economics of the development was built upon
the 1.8 percent open space. Mr. Atkins stated they believed being adjacent to a
school with substantial open space was their justification of the percentage of open
space. He stated they were aware of the 20 percent required for open space.
Mayor Kelly asked Mr. Atkins if this site plan considers the right-of-way for Roberts
Road. Mr. Atkins replied the site plan varies throughout to give some variation to
the brick wall running along Roberts Road. He stated they will meet the right-of-
way requirements for Roberts Road.
Mayor Kelly stated the plat may reflect the actuals versus the conceptual site plan.
Mr. Atkins stated he understood.
Councilmember Short questioned Mr. Atkins regarding how the open space along
Roberts Road will work. Mr. Atkins replied the wall will follow the open space
corridor along Roberts Road, and the open space in front of the wall will be
landscaped and open.
Councilmember Hart questioned Mr. Atkins regarding if they would prefer to
continue this to the next meeting to have better drawings. Mr. Atkins replied yes,
a continuance. He stated he would make the modifications to have the correct
right-of-way, and the 20 percent open space.
Councilmember Mogged stated it has been quite some time since a development
of this density has been submitted.
Councilmember Putnam stated the density is a problem, and he encouraged the
applicant to provide a development with significantly less density.
City of Colleyville Page 13
City Council Minutes December 16, 2014
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor questioned staff regarding Roberts Road. Director Ruthven
replied Roberts Road is currently unimproved, and roadway impact fees are due at
the time of the issuance of the building permits. He stated the developer could
enter into a City Developer Agreement for the completion of all of Roberts Road,
the road cost would then be shared by the City and the developer. He stated the
developer is only responsible for the completion of 37.5 feet of right-of-way, and
27 feet of the pavement width.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated being in favor of doing the road now, rather than
putting it in escrow.
Councilmember Short moved to continue Ordinance O-14-1943 to the

There were no others present wishing to speak concerning this item and Mayor
Kelly closed the public hearing at 10:43 p.m.
Mayor Pro-Tem Taylor stated that he had asked that the Mayor to divide the
question.
Mayor Pro-Tem Taylor stated that the City had been given the bad choice of the
TxDOT Pass-Through Finance program for the section between John McCain Road
and Hall-Johnson Road, or the worse choice of the new Turn-Back Program for
John McCain Road to Brown Trail, so we have to play the deck of cards we have
been dealt.
City of Colleyville Page 21
City Council Minutes December 16, 2014
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated he could not support the proposed Turn-Back
Program for several reasons.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor pointed out that interest rates are at multi-generational
lows and that Colleyville has an AAA credit rating which receives the lowest cost
for debt issuance.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor pointed out that we do not fully understand the unknown
cost of the TxDOT Turn-Back program.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor said that his dad always told him that money does not grow
on trees and nothing is ever free. Colleyville currently has no known asset to
compare to ownership of SH26 and therefore, no way to know the full financial and
liability risk of owning this portion of the highway.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor addressed the claim that the four lane mid-block design was
just a "beautification project." Colleyville citizens will not tolerate the Jacksboro
highway look, even though great strides have been made to upgrade that image of
the highway.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated there is the need for the intended benefit of
ultimately collapsing the TIF district and letting those tax revenues flow into the
General Fund to offset the other infrastructure expenses.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor pointed out that Colleyville's ownership will not change
median requirements and attempting to remove them in the future triggers design
liability and inflation adjusted project cost. He further stated that the potential lack
of political will to reject unsafe curb cuts will increase outside lane friction from
excessive curb cuts thus slowing the lane speed.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated that since TxDOT has agreed to a 12 year
reimbursement once the highway is finished, verses their normal 30-40 year plan,
the worst case estimate for the Pass-Through cost of $7,000,000 on a per
home/business property (estimated 8,900 properties), over the 14 year bond issue
and we walk away from all the previously mentioned concerns, for all time.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor also pointed to the biggest benefit going to the property
owners. They will finally be done with the looming question of when the state will
reconstruct the road. It will be over, their property values should increase and
their properties will not be disturbed if-and-when the additional inside median
lanes are added.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor reminded the City Council that they had approved a
landscaping standard in 2013 that requires low maintenance, drought tolerant
landscaping on all City owned properties and roadways.
City of Colleyville Page 22
City Council Minutes December 16, 2014
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor reminded City Council that there's an initiative election in
May 2015 because some citizens feel that our 24 foot 2-lane Glade Road handling
13-17,000 per day is sufficient. That is 80 percent of the 21,000 SH26 traffic
counts today. Either Glade Road is under designed for the traffic it carries or SH26
with twice the lane capacity of Glade Road will work. You cannot have it both
ways.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor thanked the City Council for listening and said he would like
to hear the thoughts of the other members.
Councilmember Mogged stated the financials are just a piece of it; however, we
want TxDOT to construct the six lanes, but there may be options if they cannot.
He stated this option gives us the ability to govern our own roadway.
Mayor Kelly stated if TxDOT is to fund the entire cost of the roadway, then
Colleyville does not have to contribute any funding.
Councilmember Putnam stated being agnostic as to the financing mechanism, as
long as six lanes are constructed now. He added by being agnostic, he means the
value is stronger now with the Turn Back Program model. He stated being in favor
of the Turn Back option, from day one, if the roadway is constructed at six lanes.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor questioned staff regarding the latest word relative to
roadway construction. City Manager Jennifer Fadden replied the current word
from the Council of Governments is consistent with what Michael Morris stated on
October 28, that if the City Council will take a position supporting the Turn Back
Program, COG would work very hard to find the funding for lanes five and six,
when it is needed.
Mayor Kelly stated the previous resolution is to abandon the four lanes chosen to
be constructed, which was approved a year and a half ago.
Councilmember Putnam stated he requested City Council to vote on a resolution to
encourage TxDOT to build out to six lanes, today, at their cost.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated not being in support of future generations having the
responsibility of the cost for the maintenance of the roadway. He added that he
felt the Turn-Back program “kicks the can down the road” and he did not feel that
was in the best long-term interest of the future Colleyville taxpayers.
Mayor Kelly stated funding is currently in place from Hall-Johnson Road to Brown
Trail for a four lane design. He stated the unfunded portions are Sections II and
III, which can be completed together, if funding can be found, with a four lane
design.
City of Colleyville Page 23
City Council Minutes December 16, 2014
Mayor Kelly asked City Council if they are going to consider mechanisms to fund
the unfunded portion of roadway, with a four lane design, or are they going to
abandon the four lane design. He stated the redesign of the plans would be at a
cost to the City.
Councilmember Putnam stated he supports the abandonment of the four lane
design.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated he believed that simply urging TxDOT to do it is not
demanding them to do it. He stated he wants to remain on TxDOT’s list for the
call for projects.
Mayor Kelly stated he needed clarification if the previous resolution is a change in
philosophy or an urge for funding to move to the full six lanes. Mayor Pro Tem
Taylor stated it will depend on the meaning of the word urge. He point out that
the City can request the additional two inside median lanes in the annual RTC call
for projects.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated the first resolution means all of the roadway is to be
built, but the second resolution means how it is going to be funded.
Mayor Kelly asked Mayor Pro Tem Taylor if this means today, or when additional
funds become available. Mayor Pro Tem Taylor replied he thinks we need to
remain on the list by urging TxDOT to move forward.
Mayor Kelly stated the plans are in place to let the project now; however,
questioned whether we are now abandoning those plans. Mayor Pro Tem Taylor
replied he is not abandoning them.
Councilmember Putnam asked Mayor Kelly if those plans were actually being
contemplated in a way that they were designed for that future expansion. Mayor
Pro Tem Taylor and Mayor Kelly stated there are no construction documents in
place.
Councilmember Putnam stated this is the time to get it right, not ten years from
now.
Councilmember Mogged asked Mayor Kelly if there is going to be that much of a
delay in moving from a four lane construction to a five or six lane construction.
Mayor Kelly explained if the philosophy is changing from four to six lanes, the
plans will need to be modified.
Councilmember Short stated we are asking them to construct six lanes; however,
if they come back and say no, then we will move forward with the current plans.
City of Colleyville Page 24
City Council Minutes December 16, 2014
Councilmember Putnam stated another vote would have to be taken, if we are
moving back to the four lanes. Mayor Kelly stated there is no clarification about
that. Councilmember Putnam stated it cannot be assumed that those of us who
support a six lane project, will support a four lane project, if TxDOT does not move
forward with the six lane construction.
Councilmember Mogged stated these resolutions are not the end of the story,
there will clearly need to be another vote. Councilmember Putnam stated he
would not support the Turn Back Program with four lanes.
Mayor Kelly stated the Turn Back Program was an option to be used to fund the
unfunded Sections II and III.
Mayor Kelly asked City Council if they would be willing to move forward if TxDOT
states there is no funding in place to construct the six lanes. Councilmember Hart
stated he thought the previous resolution was urging the state to construct the six
lanes; however, it did not close the option of constructing four lanes.
Councilmember Short concurred, if they find the money, we would be happy to
have six lanes. Councilmember Putnam stated if their funding options have
changed, this is an opportunity for them to reconsider the construction, and how it
is funded. He stated they can still say “no” to our request.
Mayor Kelly questioned if NCTCOG does not have the money, whether City Council
is clear to move forward with the four lane construction. Councilmember Putnam
disagreed. Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated it seems more of us are in favor of
moving forward, but we are “urging” them to fund it all.
Councilmember Mogged questioned staff regarding if they are clear as to what to
negotiate with COG. City Manager Jennifer Fadden replied she believed so.
Councilmember Putnam asked City Council if COG cannot fund all of the
construction, can we have another discussion about this. Mayor Kelly stated there
were many discussions and City Council moved forward with the four lane
construction. Councilmember Putnam stated he understands there is something
different under discussion today.
Councilmember Mogged moved to approve Resolution R-14-3825.
Councilmember Short seconded the motion.
Mayor Kelly stated, for clarification, that if COG cannot fund six lanes, then the
four lane construction project stands.
Councilmember Short stated he did not want COG to believe that we urge them to
construct six lanes, but if they do not want to, then we will take the four lane
construction project instead. Councilmember Putnam stated it would be like we
urge them, but not really.
City of Colleyville Page 25
City Council Minutes December 16, 2014
Mayor Kelly stated TxDOT stated the necessity for six lanes is not there today, but
four lanes could be constructed, with a median, so that the six lanes could be
finished, in the future.
Councilmember Putnam stated this is not a transportation project; therefore, it
can be made into a transportation project, or do nothing.
