(Rating Assigned January 2014)
Summary Description
Proposed Project: Commuter Rail
27.2 Miles, 10 Stations
Total Capital Cost ($YOE): $809.77 Million (Includes $14.1 million in finance charges)
Section 5309 New Starts Share ($YOE): $404.88 Million (50.0%)
Annual Operating Cost (opening year 2017): $10.57 Million
Current Year Ridership Forecast (2013): 10,200 Daily Linked Trips
3,007,500 Annual Linked Trips
Horizon Year Ridership Forecast (2035): 15,500 Daily Linked Trips
4,575,700 Annual Linked Trips
Overall Project Rating: Medium-High
Project Justification Rating: Medium
Local Financial Commitment Rating: High
Project Description: The Fort Worth Transportation Authority (the T) proposes to build a double-track
Tarrant County Express commuter rail line (TEX Rail) from downtown Ft. Worth providing service to
northeast Tarrant County including the cities of Haltom, North Richland Hills, Colleyville, and
Grapevine, to the Dallas-Ft. Worth International Airport (DFW). The TEX Rail project would operate on
portions of the Ft. Worth and Western Railroad, Union Pacific Railroad, Trinity Railway Express (TRE)
commuter rail line, and Dallas Area Rapid Transit’s (DART) Cotton Belt line. At DFW , the project would
provide transfer connections to DART’s Orange light rail line, currently under construction, for trips to
the north Dallas suburbs and downtown Dallas. The TEX Rail project includes construction of eight
new stations, modifications to two existing TRE stations, expansion of an existing operations and
maintenance facility currently used by TRE, construction of 2,000 park-and-ride spaces, and the
purchase of eight diesel multiple unit (DMU) vehicles. In the opening year, service would be provided
every 30 minutes during peak periods and every 90 minutes during off-peak periods.
Project Purpose: The project would link three of the region’s major activity centers, including
downtown Ft. Worth, the City of Grapevine, and DFW. The project area currently has four of the worst
roadway bottlenecks in the Dallas-Ft. Worth region, and the region’s worst interchange bottleneck at
Loop 820 and State Highway 183. All major roadways in the TEX Rail corridor operate at a level of
service “D” or worse, according to the Texas Department of Transportation. No major roadway serves
the entire project corridor end-to-end. Existing transit service in the corridor’s southwest portion (City of
Ft. Worth) includes local and express buses in mixed traffic that experience unpredictable conditions
due to congestion and incidents. There is currently no transit service in the corridor’s northeast
segment (Grapevine and North Richland Hills). Since TEX Rail would mostly operate on existing rail
infrastructure and on an exclusive right-of-way outside of mixed traffic, the project would result in
enhanced transit travel time reliability due to the avoidance of typical roadway delays.
Project Development History, Status and Next Steps: The T completed an alternatives analysis in
the Southwest-to-Northeast Corridor in November 2006. Commuter rail was selected as the locally
preferred alternative (LPA). A Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) was published in October
2008. Under SAFETEA-LU, FTA approved the project into preliminary engineering in March 2012.
Under MAP-21, the project is considered to be in the project development phase since the
environmental review process is not yet complete. The T anticipates completion of a Final EIS and
Record of Decision in summer 2014, receipt of a Full Funding Grant Agreement in October 2015, and
start of revenue service in December 2017.
Significant Changes Since Last Evaluation (November 2012): On August 12, 2013, The T Board of
Directors formally adopted a Minimum Operable Segment (MOS) as the preferred alternative primarily
due to increasing project costs. The MOS reduces the TEX Rail project length from 37.6 miles to 27.2
miles and reduces the number of stations from 14 to 10. The MOS extends from downtown Ft. Worth
to DFW , and includes the segment with the highest potential ridership. In December 2012, the T Board
of Directors changed the vehicle technology from locomotives and passenger cars to DMUs. This
change increases the project capital cost and reduces the annual operating cost.
NOTE: The financial plan reflected in this table has been developed by the project sponsor and does not reflect a commitment by DOT or
FTA. The sum of the figures may differ from the total as listed due to rounding.

Factor Rating Comments
Local Financial Commitment Rating Medium-High
Section 5309 New Starts Share The New Starts share of project costs is 50.0 percent.
Project Financial Plan
Medium-High
Capital and Operating Condition
(25% of composite rating)
Medium-High • The average age of the Fort Worth Transportation Authority (“The T”) bus fleet is 8.8
years, which is older than the industry average.
• The T does not have bond ratings since they have not issued debt via capital markets.
• The T’s current ratio of assets to liabilities as reported in its most recent audited
financial statement is 12.2 (FY 2012).
• There have been no service cutbacks or cash flow shortfalls in recent years.
Commitment of Capital and Operating
Funds (25% of composite rating)
High • Approximately 82.2 percent of the non-Section 5309 New Starts capital funds are
committed or budgeted. Sources of funds include Federal Congestion Mitigation and
Air Quality funds, Federal Surface Transportation Program funds, a state grant from
the Texas Mobility Fund, the City of Grapevine’s dedicated sales tax revenues, The
T’s dedicated sales tax revenues, a portion of The T’s existing cash balances, Tarrant
County bond proceeds backed by ad valorem property tax revenue, and Dallas-Fort
Worth Airport contributions.
• Approximately 99.4 percent of the funds needed to operate and maintain the transit
system in the first full year of operation is committed or budgeted. Sources of funds
include FTA Section 5307 Urbanized Area Formula grants, The T’s dedicated sales
tax revenues, fare revenues, contributions from non-member cities, contributions from
the City of Haltom and advertising, rental, and investment income.
Capital and Operating Cost Estimates,
Assumptions and Financial Capacity
(50% of composite rating)
Medium • Assumed farebox collections are optimistic. Other assumptions in the financial plan
are consistent with historical experience.
• The capital cost estimate is reasonable.
• The T has the financial capacity to cover cost increases or funding shortfalls equal to
at least 25 percent of estimated project costs and 31 percent of annual system-wide
operating expenses in the first year of operations.
TEX Rail
Fort Worth, Texas
Project Development
(Rating Assigned January 2014)
LAND USE RATING: Medium-Low
The land use rating reflects population and employment densities within ½-mile of proposed station areas, as
well as the share of legally binding affordability restricted housing in the corridor compared to the share in the
surrounding county(ies).
• Average population density across all station areas is 2,182, which corresponds to a low rating
according to FTA benchmarks. Total employment served is 73,580, corresponding to a medium rating.
Parking costs in downtown Fort Worth are $12 per day on average, corresponding to a medium-high
rating.
• The proportion of legally binding affordability restricted housing in the project corridor compared to the
proportion in the counties through which the project travels is 0.0, which corresponds to a low rating.
• Existing development in downtown Fort Worth is urban in nature with commercial office, retail, and
residential buildings near the two downtown stations. Existing development character in the remaining
station areas is not transit supportive.
• Areas around the proposed downtown stations have adequate pedestrian amenities. However most
station areas along the project corridor have a minimal level of pedestrian facilities, and are frequently
lacking sidewalks, particularly in single-family residential neighborhoods.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT RATING: Medium
Transit-Supportive Plans and Policies: Medium
• Growth Management: Although public, private, and academic institutions have undertaken regional
visioning exercises, the Dallas-Fort Worth region has not adopted any policies or agreements related to
growth management. Some local plans within the region focus on preserving open space to protect
ecologically important areas, but plans are often foused on a single resource rather than on preserving
a network.
• Transit-Supportive Corridor Policies: Transit oriented development (TOD) or station area plans have
been completed for four of the 10 station areas. The City of Fort Worth reduces parking requirements
within mixed-use districts.
• Supportive Zoning Regulations Near Transit Stations: The City of Fort Worth has developed a mixed
use high-density zoning code for the two downtown station areas. North Richland Hills has developed
a form based zoning code for its two station areas. The Fort Worth Comprehensive Plan supports
zoning changes to support TOD around two additional stations. Haltom City and Grapevine are
developing zoning ordinances or new zoning districts that promote transit-supportive density in
proposed station areas.
• Tools to Implement Land Use Policies: The City of Fort Worth has a number of financial tools to
encourage land development in certain areas, including neighborhood empowerment zones , tax
increment financing , tax abatements, public improvement districts, land transactions, mixed-use zoning
assistance, enhanced community facility agreements, and other capital project investments. The
Haltom City Economic Development Corporation purchased 55 acres near the proposed Haltom City
station with the hopes of building transit oriented development.
Performance and Impacts of Policies: Medium-High
• Performance of Land Use Policies: There have been a number of higher-density residential and mixed-
use projects in downtown Fort Worth. Developments are being proposed at other stations. For
instance, a proposed 14-acre mixed-use development adjacent to the Smithfield station could support
more than 200 multifamily units, and at least 10,000 square feet of office, 10,000 square feet of retail,
and 10,000 square feet of restaurant space.
• Potential Impact of Transit Investment on Regional Land Use: The project is expected to foster
substantial infill development given the improved access to jobs around the region that it would provide,
ample underdeveloped land in most station areas, and the strong regional economy. In downtown,
existing surface parking lots between the ITC station and the convention center could eventually be
redeveloped at a higher density. Haltom City recently purchased 55 acres around the proposed station.
There are 1,100 acres of undeveloped land at DFW Airport North.
Tools to Maintain or Increase Share of Affordable Housing: Medium-Low
• Affordable housing objectives in the 2013 City of Fort Worth Comprehensive Plan include targets for
lead abatement, infill housing, affordable rental housing and lender education. The draft Fort Worth
Strategic Action Plan for 2023 sets a goal of having 10 percent of the housing developed in quality
mixed income developments for people whose income is less than 60 percent of areawide median
income. There is no evidence of affordable housing needs assessment or identification of policy in
station areas beyond the City of Fort Worth.

Title
Update of utility rate study for Fiscal Year 2015
Explanation
Annually, staff updates the utility rate study to include changes in consumption
patterns, incorporation of Trinity River Authority (TRA) rate increases, and the rate
effect of future infrastructure renewal needs. TRA is the sole provider of the City's
treated water and sewer. As a part of the FY 2015 budget discussion, staff informed
the City Council a rate increase would be necessary in the event TRA's FY 2015 rates
were greater than those in the City's current rate structure.
The major cost component of the Utility Fund is the treated water and sewer purchased
from TRA, which comprises 67 percent of the FY 2015 Utility Fund budget. Currently,
TRA charges the City $2.64 for treated water and $2.12 for treated sewer for each
1,000 gallons. Over the next five years, TRA projects the cost for treated water to
increase to $3.52 per 1,000 gallons and the cost for treated sewer to increase to $2.91
per 1,000 gallons, an increase of $0.88 and $.79, respectively over current rates. Per
TRA, these increases are projected to cover forecasted increased costs for the
purchase of raw water, chemicals and debt service for future proposed debt issuances
to fund federal environmental regulations and replacement of aging infrastructure.
TRA's FY 2015 budget will go into effect on December 1, 2014. The adopted FY 2015
TRA rate per 1,000 gallons for treated water is $2.91 and the rate per 1,000 gallons
for treated sewer is $2.23. This is an increase of $0.27 and $0.11, respectively, over
the FY 2014 rates of $2.64 for water and $2.12 for sewer. The FY 2014 TRA rates are
those upon which the City's current water and sewer rate structure is based.
Exhibit "A" is a five year projection of Utility Fund expenses and coverage ratios for FY
2015-2019, under the current rate structure. Due to current and future TRA rate
increases, the current water and sewer rates do not provide the required
debt coverage ratio of 1.20 or provide any funding for infrastructure replacement in
the recently approved Capital Improvement Plan for FY 2015 - 2019. For FY 2015, the
projected debt coverage ratio is 0.53 with current water and sewer rates, and does not
meet the 1.20 coverage ratio required by utility bond covenants. When the coverage
ratio is not met, the rating agencies can downgrade ratings on existing bonds and
future bonds cannot be sold until the coverage ratio is met. Currently, both rating
agencies, Fitch Ratings Inc. and Standard and Poor's, rate the City's outstanding water
and sewer debt as "AAA", which is the highest rating category. In order to meet the
City Council Agenda Briefing
City of Colleyville Page 2
required debt coverage ratio and provide funding for infrastructure replacement in the
approved Capital Improvement Plan, a pass through water rate adjustment of $0.27
per 1,000 and a sewer rate adjustment of $0.11 per 1,000 is necessary for FY 2015.
Exhibit "B" is a five year projection of Utility Fund expenses and coverage ratio for FY
2015-2019 under the proposed rate structure that includes the TRA pass through rate
increases. The FY 2015 water rate adjustment of $0.27 replicates the TRA increase, as
does the $0.11 sewer rate increase. This exhibit also displays the year-to-year
projected rate increase and the cumulative projected rate increase from the FY 2014
rates. It also displays the projected amount that would be available to fund future
infrastructure renewals.
Since the last review of rates in November 2013, the cities of Bedford, Euless, Hurst,
and Keller have increased their water and sewer rates (reflected in the attached).
Per the attached Water and Sewer Rate Comparison of surrounding cities, Colleyville
citizens would pay on average $2.69 less than the surrounding cities for 15,000 gallons
of water under this proposed TRA pass through rate increase. For 10,000 gallons of
sewer, Colleyville citizens would pay on average $7.15 less than the surrounding cities
under the proposed TRA pass through rate increase. The proposed monthly increase in
the combined bill for 15,000 gallons of water and 10,000 gallons of sewer would be
$5.15.
The current rates per tier of water usage are as follows:
2,001-20,000 gallons - $3.85
20,001-30,000 gallons -$4.41
30,001-40,000 gallons -$4.97
40,001-50,000 gallons -$5.53
over 50,000 gallons -$6.09
Incorporating the pass through of the TRA water rate increase, the proposed rates
would be as follows:
2,001-20,000 gallons - $4.12
20,001-30,000 gallons -$4.68
30,001-40,000 gallons -$5.24
40,001-50,000 gallons -$5.80
over 50,000 gallons -$6.36
As was proposed with the adoption of the tiered water rate structure, revenue received
in the Utility Fund in excess of coverage ratio requirements would be reserved for
future infrastructure replacement as included in the adopted FY 2015-2019 Capital
Improvements Plan (attached Resolution R-14-3781).
Ordinance O-89-741, and its subsequent update through Ordinance O-11-1788, allows
City Council Agenda Briefing
City of Colleyville Page 3
the direct pass through of increases for treated water and sewer by TRA to be adopted
by resolution. If directed by City Council, there will be a resolution on the November
18, 2014 City Council agenda proposing the TRA pass through water rate increase of
$0.27 on each of the individual water rate tiers and the sewer rate increase of $0.11,
to be effective December 1, 2014 for the utility bills to be received in January 2015.
At the December 16, 2014 City Council meeting, staff will be presenting the results of
the Comprehensive Water and Sewer master plan, which includes infrastructure capital
projects and the impact those cost will have on the existing rates. There is a rate
study as a part of the master plan, which allocates a greater part of the rate structure
to fixed costs and makes rate recommendations to pay for the future projects.

PC-1 Update and discussion of the landscaping for the two roundabouts located at

intersection of Glade Road and Pool Road
City Engineer Jeremy Hutt presented this item and briefed the City Council. Brad
Mouton, la terra studio, landscape architect, was also present to answer any
questions.
Councilmember Wollin questioned staff regarding if two trees will be planted at
Glade Road and Pool Road. Mr. Mouton replied this roundabout will be similar to
the one at John McCain, with one tree; however, the other roundabout for Cheek-
Sparger Road and Jackson Road will have three.
Councilmember Wollin questioned staff regarding if there will be some evergreens
incorporated. Mr. Mouton replied yes.
Councilmember Putnam questioned staff regarding options for signage. Director
Lowry replied according to the manual, the options are chevrons or one-way signs.
Councilmember Putnam stated he thought there could be options for placing the
signage in the median versus the center island.

City Council Minutes - DRAFT October 21, 2014
Mayor Kelly questioned staff regarding if the signs could be placed appropriately.
He added sometimes the roundabouts are over-signed. Engineer Hutt replied yes,
the signage is being looked at more closely.
City Manager Jennifer Fadden stated there are options to place the signs on the
walls rather than on metal poles; however, if that option is used, the design of the
wall may need to be reconsidered.
Councilmember Putnam stated the roundabout looked good before the signs were
put in place, but that he understands signs are needed.
Councilmember Mogged questioned staff regarding if there is a difference in the
wall height for a variation in signage, or is it to add interest to the landscaping.
Engineer Hutt replied he believed it was designed for both concepts. He added the
breaks in the walls do add some character, while still accommodating the signs.
City Council concurred with having the signs on the walls.
PC-2 Update and discussion of the Glade Road Project
City Engineer Jeremy Hutt presented the project history; Parks Manager James
Hubbard presented the update on the tree impact analysis, and Police Chief Mike
Holder presented Glade Road accident data to the City Council.
Councilmember Mogged questioned staff regarding the timing of Phases II and III
of the Tree Impact Analysis. Manager Hubbard replied these phases will not be
initiated until the agreement of the conceptual design of the roadway. He added
that once conceptual design is complete, the tree survey can be overlaid onto the
design to see which trees will be impacted by the proposed amenities.
Councilmember Wollin questioned staff regarding the status of the trees. Manager
Hubbard replied most trees were graded as fair, especially since most trees have
been pruned due to overhead power lines.
Councilmember Mogged questioned staff regarding the impacts of the roadway if
improvements are made. Director Lowry replied it is difficult to quantify what
causes accidents, besides poor driver behavior, and what will help to eliminate
those accidents. Chief Holder stated there are issues when the area is limited for
vehicle recovery.
Councilmember Mogged stated primarily it is the driver causing the accidents. He
added there may be a need to look at secondary impacts, such as the installation
of guardrails like the ones on Cheek-Sparger Road. He suggested taking into
consideration the accidents, and how the improvements to the roadway will impact
any future accidents.

City Council Minutes - DRAFT October 21, 2014
Councilmember Putnam questioned staff regarding if placing a trail along Glade
Road will put pedestrians at some risk. Chief Holder stated not having expertise in
the engineering; however, it is certainly feasible that it could happen.
PC-3 Discussion of the October 21, 2014, City Council regular agenda items
Mayor Kelly suggested staff update City Council regarding agenda items 7a, 7b,
and 7c. Community Development Director Ron Ruthven presented these items
and briefed the City Council.
Councilmember Mogged questioned staff regarding how these will affect the
development community. Director Ruthven stated most builders and developers
are already operating under the new codes.
Mayor Kelly questioned staff regarding if the code will maintain the fire sprinkler
requirement. Director Ruthven replied yes.
Councilmember Putnam questioned staff regarding if this requirement is currently
within the amended code. Director Ruthven replied the requirement is maintained
through the local amendment adopted in 2005.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor questioned staff regarding the radio communications
between the area cities. Chief Holder replied the area cities do have the ability to
communicate with each other through talk zones. Mayor Kelly concurred.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor questioned staff regarding if there is a national radio
channel. Chief Holder replied no.
Mayor Kelly stated there are opportunities for speaking with other communities
through the radio channels.
Mayor Kelly stated 5a will be up for a second reading. City Manager Jennifer
Fadden explained that there is no longer a super majority vote required.

Title
Consideration of adoption of the 2012 edition of the International Building Code;
adoption of the 2014 edition of the National Electrical Code; adoption of the 2012
editions of the International Residential Code and the International Energy
Conservation Code; along with the local amendments as recommended by the Regional
Codes Coordinating Committee of the North Central Texas Council of Governments,
Case GC14-017
Explanation
Second Reading and Public Hearing
There were no speakers regarding this request at the October 21, 2014 City Council
meeting.
First Reading and Public Hearing
This item serves as one of three separate ordinance considerations as part of the 2012
code updates.
Staff proposes to adopt the 2012 editions of the International Building Code,
International Residential Code, and International Energy Conservation Code, and the
2014 edition of the National Electrical Code. The City of Colleyville is
currently operating under the 2003 editions of the International Building Code, the
International Residential Code, and the 2002 edition of the National Electrical Code.
Although not formally adopted by the City, the State of Texas requires all new
construction performed on or after January 1, 2010 to comply with 2009 International
Energy Conservation Code and requires local governments to ensure compliance.
Likewise, as of September 1, 2011, the State of Texas declared the 2011 National
Electrical Code to be the "minimum standard" for all electrical work performed in
Texas. Therefore, the City began enforcing the 2011 National Electrical Code after this
time.
Code construction under the 2003 codes represents a substantial time lapse in the
enforcement of current codes and the adoption of the 2012 codes will bring Colleyville
in line with most North Texas cities. Since the code updates will make Colleyville more
consistent with other area cities, any impacts on the development community and
citizens will be minimal, if barely noticeable, as most area contractors are accustomed
City Council Agenda Briefing 5a
City of Colleyville Page 2
to using the more recent codes.
As part of the code updates, Ordinance O-05-1509 (attached) and Ordinance O-05-
1511 (attached) are proposed to be repealed. Ordinance O-05-1509, approved by the
City Council on February 15, 2005, adopted the 2003 International Building Code.
Ordinance O-05-1511, approved by the City Council on February 15, 2005, adopted
the 2002 National Electrical Code.
Included as part of the updates, are the recommended local amendments to the code
updates adopted by reference. Staff has been participating in the North Central Texas
Council of Governments (NCTCOG) Regional Codes Coordinating Committee(RCCC).
The RCCC reviews all the building codes and develops a list of local amendments that
can be adopted by the area cities in the North Central Texas region. Cities and
contractors benefit from adopting a standardized set of local building amendments.
Attached is a presentation summarizing the proposed changes and the proposed
ordinance approving the amendments for the adoption of the new International Codes.
Upon approval, the new ordinance will be incorporated into the Colleyville Code of
Ordinances. Copies of the International Codes, National Electrical Code, and the
regional amendments will be on file in the City Secretary’s Office. The new codes will
become effective immediately upon approval by the City Council.
Notice of the code updates have been placed on the department's web page and at the
front counter in the Community Development department. Staff will be holding a first
ever builder and developer roundtable on October 29, 2014 to explain the code
updates and cover other topics to the development community.
Examples of changes included in the 2012 International Building Code include:
- Ambulatory Care Facilities: For medical uses where someone can be placed under
general anesthesia, fire suppression systems may be required
- Photovoltaic (Solar) Systems: Rooftop systems must now meet wind and fire
requirements

Title
Consideration of adoption of the 2012 editions of the International Plumbing Code,
International Fuel Gas Code, and International Mechanical Code, along with the local
amendments as recommended by the Regional Codes Coordinating Committee of the
North Central Texas Council of Governments, Case GC14-018
Explanation
Second Reading and Public Hearing
There were no speakers regarding this request at the October 21, 2014 City Council
meeting.
First Reading and Public Hearing
This item serves as the second of three separate ordinance considerations as part of
the 2012 code updates.
Attached is a proposed ordinance to adopt the 2012 editions of the International
Plumbing Code, International Fuel Gas Code, and International Mechanical Code.
Currently, the City of Colleyville is operating under the 2003 editions of the
International Plumbing Code, International Fuel Gas Code, and International
Mechanical Code.
Code construction under the 2003 codes represents a substantial time lapse in the
enforcement of current codes and the adoption of the 2012 codes will bring Colleyville
in line with most North Texas cities. Since the code updates will make Colleyville more
consistent with other area cities, any impacts on the development community and
citizens will be minimal, if barely noticeable, as most area contractors are accustomed
to using the more recent codes.
As part of the code updates, Ordinance O-05-1510 (attached) and Ordinance O-05-
1512 (attached) are proposed to be repealed. Ordinance O-05-1510, approved by the
City Council on February 15, 2005, adopted the 2003 International Plumbing Code and
2003 Fuel Gas Code. Ordinance O-05-1512, approved by the City Council on February
15, 2005, adopted the 2003 International Mechanical Code and some local
amendments.
Included as part of the updates are the recommended local amendments to the code
updates adopted by reference. Staff has been participating in the North Central Texas
City Council Agenda Briefing 5b
City of Colleyville Page 2
Council of Governments (NCTCOG) Regional Codes Coordinating Committee (RCCC).
The RCCC reviews all the building codes and develops a list of local amendments that
can be adopted by the area cities in the North Central Texas region. Cities and
contractors benefit from adopting a standardized set of local building amendments.
Attached is a presentation summarizing the proposed changes and the ordinance
approving the amendments for the adoption of the new International Codes. Upon
approval, the new ordinance will be incorporated into the Colleyville Code of
Ordinances. Copies of the International Codes and the National Electrical Code and the
regional amendments will be on file in the City Secretary’s Office. The new codes will
become effective immediately upon approval by the City Council.
Notice of the code updates have been placed on the department's web page and at the
front counter in the Community Development department. Staff will be holding a first
ever builder and developer roundtable on October 29, 2014 to explain the code
updates and other topics to the development community.
Examples of changes included in the 2012 International Mechanical Code include:
- Ventilation in Nail Salons: Each nail station within a nail salon shall be provided with
a source capture system capable of exhausting not less than 50 cubic feet per minute
per station.
- Rooftop Equipment Access: Equipment on a platform or roof that requires personnel
to climb higher than 16 feet must be accessible via a permanent ladder or roof hatch.
Examples of changes included in the 2012 International Plumbing Code include:
- Restroom Adjacency to Commercial Kitchens: Restrooms shall not open directly into a
room used for the preparation of food for service to the public.
- Food Preparation Sinks: Sinks used for food preparation and consumption purposes
are no longer permitted to connect directly to the drainage system.
Financial Impact
There is no financial impact to the City.

Title
Consideration of adoption of the 2012 edition of the International Fire Code, along with
the local amendments as recommended by the Regional Codes Coordinating
Committee of the North Central Texas Council of Governments, Case GC14-019
Explanation
Second Reading and Public Hearing
There were no speakers regarding this request at the October 21, 2014 City Council
meeting.
First Reading and Public Hearing
This item serves as the third and final ordinance consideration as part of the 2012 code
updates.
Attached is the proposed ordinance to adopt the 2012 edition of the International Fire
Code. Currently, the City of Colleyville is operating under the 2003 edition of the
International Fire Code. Code construction under the 2003 code represents a
substantial time lapse in the enforcement of current codes and the adoption of the
2012 codes will bring Colleyville in line with most North Texas cities.
Included in the ordinance are the recommended local amendments to the code updates
adopted by reference. Staff has been participating in the North Central Texas Council
of Governments (NCTCOG) Regional Codes Coordinating Committee (RCCC). The
RCCC reviews all the building codes and develops a list of local amendments that can
be adopted by the area cities in the North Central Texas region. Cities and contractors
benefit from adopting a standardized set of local building amendments.
In addition to the NCTCOG amendments, a portion of the locally adopted amendments
to the Fire Code approved under Ordinance O-05-1520 (attached) is preserved in the
amendments included with the proposed ordinance. Ordinance O-05-1520 was
approved by the City Council on April 19, 2005. Section 903.2.10.7 to be preserved
from Ordinance O-05-1520 reads as follows: "Automatic Sprinkler Requirements for
Group R-3. An automatic sprinkler system shall be installed in all Group R3 buildings
with a building area over 7,500 sq. ft. or living area over 6,000 sq. ft. For the purpose
of this provision, living area shall include all areas included in “air conditioned”, future
or “bonus rooms” or other areas determined to be actual or intended living areas."
City Council Agenda Briefing 5c
City of Colleyville Page 2
The State of Texas pre-empts cities from enforcing this requirement unless the City
contained this requirement in its existing codes prior to the adoption of the State pre-
emption.
Attached is a presentation summarizing the proposed changes and the ordinance
approving the amendments for the adoption of the new International Codes. Upon
approval, the new ordinance will be incorporated into the Colleyville Code of
Ordinances. Copies of the International Codes and the National Electrical Code and the
regional amendments will be on file in the City Secretary’s Office. The new codes will
become effective immediately upon approval by the City Council.
Notice of the code updates have been placed on the department's web page and at the
front counter in the Community Development department. Staff will be holding a first
ever builder and developer roundtable on October 29, 2014 to explain the code
updates and other topics to the development community.
Examples of changes included in the 2012 International Fire Code include:
- Emergency Egress Lighting Testing: New monthly emergency lighting test
requirements
- Traffic Calming Devices: Requires Fire Marshal to approve any traffic calming device
in a fire lane/fire apparatus road
- Emergency Responder Radio Coverage in New Buildings: New commercial buildings
must have radio coverage for first responders when constructed with exceptions
approved by Fire Marshal
Financial Impact
There is no financial impact to the City.

Title
Approval of an ordinance ratifying and affirming the appointment of Sara Jane del
Carmen as Regional Municipal Court Judge and appointing Leticia Evans as Associate
Judge for the Municipal Court of Record for the City of Colleyville through September
30, 2016
Explanation
Second Reading and Public Hearing
There were no speakers regarding this request at the October 21, 2014 City Council
meeting.
First Reading and Public Hearing
In 2012, the Cities of Colleyville and Keller entered into an interlocal agreement to
establish combined municipal court operations pursuant to HB 984 which states "“A
municipality may enter into an agreement with a contiguous municipality or a
municipality with boundaries that are within one-half mile of the municipality seeking
to enter into the agreement to establish concurrent jurisdiction of the municipal courts
in the municipalities and provide original jurisdiction to a municipal court in which a
case is brought as if the municipal court were located in the municipality in which the
case arose.”
With the execution of the interlocal agreement between the cities of Colleyville and
Keller for combined municipal court services, it was recognized that the combined
municipal court will operate most efficiently with the appointment of a single municipal
court judge. Per the attached Exhibit "A" of the interlocal agreement, a review and
selection committee representing both cities was established for the purpose of
recommending to each respective City Council a municipal court judge for formal
appointment.
Included in the interlocal agreement (Exhibit "A") is a provision for the appointment of
a municipal court judge. The charter requirement for the City of Colleyville for judicial
services is as follows:
Section 8.02. – Judge of the Municipal Court:
The Judge of the Municipal Court shall be appointed by the City Council to serve at the
discretion of the City Council. He shall be an attorney licensed and practicing in the
City Council Agenda Briefing 5d
City of Colleyville Page 2
State of Texas, and shall receive such salary as may be fixed by the City Council. In
case of the disability or absence of the Judge of the Municipal Court, the City Council
shall appoint a qualified person to act in his place.
The Municipal Court Review and Selection Committee consists of the Mayors and
two City Councilmembers from both Colleyville and Keller. The Committee conducted
interviews of candidates for the position, and recommended Sara Jane del Carmen. On
September 2, 2014 by attached Resolution R-14-3777, City Council approved the
Municipal Court Review and Selection Committee recommendation to
appoint Sara Jane del Carmen as Regional Municipal Court Judge, for a two year term
effective October 1, 2014 through September 30, 2016. The City of Colleyville
Municipal Court of Record was created pursuant to Chapter 30, Subchapter P, of the
Texas Government Code, and Section 30.006(b) of the Texas Government Code
provides that Municipal Courts of Record must have their Judges appointed by an
ordinance of the City Council. The proposed attached Ordinance O-14-1939, complies
with the requirement of Section 30.006(b) and formalizes the appointment of Sara
Jane del Carmen as the City of Colleyville Municipal Court Judge for the City of
Colleyville Municipal Court of Record to serve through September 30, 2016.
Additionally, per the attached Exhibit “A” of the Interlocal Agreement, it is the
responsibility of the appointed Municipal Court Judge to propose to the Municipal Court
Review and Selection Committee a temporary replacement(s), who shall perform the
duties of the Municipal Judge in his/her absences. In accordance with the
Interlocal Agreement Exhibit A, Judge Sara del Carmen submits the name of Leticia
Evans as City of Colleyville Associate Municipal Court Judge for the City of Colleyville
Municipal Court of Record to serve through September 30, 2016. Attached to the
briefing is a bio of Leticia Evans. The proposed Ordinance O-14-1939 also provides for
the appointment of Leticia Evans as the Associate Judge.
Financial Impact
Funding for the annual salary of the Regional Municipal Court Judge is available in the
Fiscal Year 2015 Municipal Court budget with reimbursement from the City of Keller, as
contained in the Interlocal Agreement for Combined Municipal Court Services for the
cities of Colleyville and Keller.

Exhibit A
Colleyville and Keller recognize that the combined Municipal Court will operate
most efficiently with the appointment of a single Municipal Court Judge, and the parties
will endeavor to achieve that goal. That said, Colleyville and Keller reserve the right to
select and/or remove their Municipal Court Judge in accordance with their applicable
Charter provisions. A municipal judge review and selection committee consisting of both
Mayor’s and two duly appointed City Council members from each City will formulate a
process for obtaining and assessing candidates for the Municipal Court Judge position.
The current Judges for Colleyville and Keller will be invited to submit their candidacy for
the combined Court. Upon the conclusion of such process, the Committee shall make a
recommendation to the full Colleyville and Keller City Councils for the selection of the
Municipal Court Judge. If such candidate is approved by both the Colleyville and Keller
City Councils, that candidate shall serve as the Municipal Court Judge for the combined
Municipal Court for an initial term of two (2) years. In the event the candidate is not
approved by both Colleyville and Keller, the matter shall be referred back to the standing
committee for the recommendation of an alternative appointment. In the event such
alternative appointment is not approved by both Colleyville and Keller, then this issue
shall be sent to dispute resolution pursuant to Section 9 of the Agreement. Any renewals
of term or approval of a replacement Judge will be subject to this process.
Upon appointment, the Municipal Court Judge will be responsible for all judicial
services for the combined Court, including but not limited to the following: adjudication
of all cases, plea dockets, trial dockets (both before the court and jury trials), property
hearings, arraignments, emergency protective order hearings, dangerous dog hearings,
warrant issuance (including search, arrest, and blood warrants), juror notification, setting
of bonds, other judicial proceedings and magistrate services. The Municipal Judge shall
propose to the standing committee a temporary replacement(s) who shall perform the
duties of the Municipal Judge in his/her absence. In the event either Colleyville or Keller
objects to the proposed temporary replacement Judge(s), the Municipal Court Judge must
propose an alternative replacement(s) until such replacement(s) is approved by both
Colleyville and Keller. If for any reason, the Municipal Court Judge is unable to attend to
their duties on a given date, the Judge must notify the Court Administrator. Any
temporary replacement Judge will be compensated by the Municipal Court Judge out of
his/her salary.
The standing committee shall recommend an annual salary for the Municipal
Judge to be considered by the respective City Councils and if approved incorporated into
the employment contract of the Municipal Judge.
