PC-1 Discussion of the Glade Road Initiative
Councilmember Putnam questioned City Attorney Matthew Boyle regarding if any
other parties were involved in the formation of this judgment, or was it strictly his
personal opinion. City Attorney Matthew Boyle replied it was the collective opinion of
the six full time lawyers at Boyle & Lowry. He stated the only third parties, that were
consulted, involved factual inquiries from City staff relative to the scope of any plans
or the impacts of those plans relative to the provisions in the initiative.
Councilmember Putnam stated being concerned that no legal precedent had been
stated in the opinion.
Councilmember Putnam asked Councilmember Short if a splitter island is considered a
median. Councilmember Short said a splitter island is a more specific type of median.
Councilmember Putnam questioned City Attorney Matthew Boyle regarding if it is
possible to conclude that it is within the City's purview to dictate, specify, or agree
upon the method of polling. City Attorney Matthew Boyle replied within the construct
of the proposition, the typical City Council prerogative has been removed due to the
nature of the proposition and because the submitter of the proposition has stated this
is the legislation. He stated based on the Charter, once the proposition has been
City of Colleyville Page 1
City Council Minutes April 21, 2015
decided on by the voters, it cannot be amended, even by action of the City Council,
for a period of at least five years, unless there is a subsequent initiative. He stated
the language of the proposition is the only thing that can be looked at, because it is
the singular piece of legislation. He added, "yes", there could be a way to poll the
area residents; however, the issue is, could it be done with a level of certainty that
you were in full compliance of the proposition, and "no" it could not be done. He
stated the limitations and restrictions within the third paragraph of the proposition
become problematic relative to the widening of the roadway since a roundabout
cannot be constructed without widening the roadway. Councilmember Putnam stated
it calls specifically for roundabouts, but otherwise not widen the road.
Councilmember Putnam stated there is nothing in the intent of this resolution that
states that the City cannot establish criteria for polling. He added the intent was to
give the area residents an impact on the design of the roadway. He stated the
interpretation is overly restrictive.
Councilmember Putnam stated it is the responsibility of the people here to make the
decision on terms of how it is implemented. He stated there is nothing in the
referendum that is in conflict with that principle. He stated City Council is obligated
to implement in accordance with the intent of the authors and not impose our own
opinions into the implementation.
Councilmember Putnam questioned City Attorney Matthew Boyle regarding if
his opinion is not a judgment. City Attorney Matthew Boyle replied he is not clear on
the distinction.
Councilmember Putnam questioned City Attorney Matthew Boyle regarding if the
resolution passes, and City Council votes for a solution that appears in some way to
be in conflict with his interpretation of that language, can City Council pass that
resolution? City Attorney Matthew Boyle replied it is within the City Council's
prerogative to adopt provisions that are contradictory to the advice given by the city
attorney. Councilmember Putnam stated City Council can also seek the advice of
another attorney. City Attorney Matthew Boyle agreed.
Councilmember Putnam stated the opinion does not stop people from being able to
vote for this resolution.
Councilmember Putnam questioned City Attorney Matthew Boyle regarding why the
interpretation is given now, rather than when the petition was filed. City Attorney
Matthew Boyle replied he was not asked to do so when the petition was filed.
Mayor Kelly asked City Attorney Matthew Boyle if he or any other City Councilmember
asked for this interpretation of the resolution. City Attorney Matthew Boyle replied
no. City Manager Jennifer Fadden stated she asked for the city attorney's legal
opinion based on the questions staff had received from citizens. She further stated
City of Colleyville Page 2
City Council Minutes April 21, 2015
staff did not feel comfortable weighing in on interpreting what the petition said, in
terms of what the effects will be.
Councilmember Putnam asked City Attorney Matthew Boyle if the City has an
obligation to offer an interpretation. City Attorney Matthew Boyle replied he did not
believe there is an obligation.
Councilmember Putnam asked City Attorney Matthew Boyle if the City was required to
offer an opinion to the petitioners prior to the electoral vote process takes place,
before forming an opinion. City Attorney Matthew Boyle replied the correspondence
clearly reflects that the persons who initiated the inquiries were insistent on staff
providing a response.
Councilmember Putnam asked City Attorney Matthew Boyle if the City was required to
respond, or could they have stated it is too political right now, we will have to wait
until after the election to offer an opinion. City Attorney Matthew Boyle replied the
perspective in which he addressed this opinion was presuming it gets adopted, what
will be the position of the city attorney be. He stated the opinion given in April will be
the same opinion given in June based on the restrictions in the petition relative to the
widening of the roadway.
Councilmember Putnam stated people are principally concerned about how this
opinion has been discussed prior to it becoming public. City Attorney Matthew Boyle
stated the correspondence was sent to City Council between the city manager's office
and the persons who were asking these questions, and the answers and the timing of
the answers were given, when the questions were asked by the petitioners. He added
that while the opinion was not released, the answers were released to the petitioners
who then continued to further ask for clarification. He stated the city manager told
them that if they put their questions in writing, she promised them answers. He
stated an opinion was then generated and forwarded to City Council and the
petitioners.
Mayor Kelly stated legal advice is posted as an executive session item. This item was
scheduled for the last meeting; though Councilmember Putnam was not able to
attend, the City Councilmembers present decided to make the opinion public.
Councilmember Putnam asked City Council if City staff or public safety officials stated
that Glade Road is an unsafe road. City Attorney Matthew Boyle replied no, and he
stated he did consult with City staff relative to this question.
Councilmember Putnam asked City Councilmembers if they have made an assertion
that Glade Road is an unsafe road. Councilmember Mogged stated it is a hazardous
road given the accident statistics, and added it is a safe road that is hazardous.
Councilmember Hart questioned City Attorney Matthew Boyle if the resolution on the
City of Colleyville Page 3
City Council Minutes April 21, 2015
ballot fails, can the City Council immediately re-institute the three improvement items
agreed upon previously, Bluebonnet Drive, Riverwalk Drive, and Bransford Road. City
Attorney Matthew Boyle replied yes.
Councilmember Short asked staff if the City Council or staff drafted the language for
the ballot. City Manager Jennifer Fadden replied no.
Councilmember Short asked staff if the language was placed on the ballot exactly as
it was submitted. Mayor Kelly replied yes.
Councilmember Short stated the opinions expressed have not been interpreted on a
higher level than the English language, and one can see that there are some
challenges in moving forward, given the language in the petition.
Councilmember Mogged asked City Attorney Matthew Boyle if he has processed any
eminent domain action taken on Glade Road. City Attorney Matthew Boyle replied no.
Councilmember Mogged asked staff if they are aware of any eminent domain or
absolute requirements to proceed with this project. City Manager Jennifer Fadden
replied no. Councilmember Putnam stated eminent domain has been discussed as
being necessary with this project.
Councilmember Mogged stated the City Council has not determined if eminent domain
is necessary. Mayor Kelly stated acquiring right-of-way is not the same as eminent
domain. Councilmember Putnam stated the threat of eminent domain is the same as
eminent domain. He added acquiring right-of-way, when the people do not want you
to acquire it, is eminent domain.
PC-2 Consideration of a resolution prohibiting the use of eminent domain for
sidewalk or trail projects
Councilmember Putnam stated he did not have the resolution prepared for
discussion. He asked for this item to be moved to the May 5, 2015 Pre Council
meeting. City Councilmembers agreed to move the item.
PC-3 Overview of community gardens
Councilmember Wollin stated she requested this item be placed on the agenda for
discussion, given a citizen had an idea for a City-ran community garden.
Parks Manager James Hubbard presented this item and briefed City Council.
Councilmember Wollin stated only being familiar with churches who have these
gardens; however, it is good to know that the City of Coppell does this.
City of Colleyville Page 4
City Council Minutes April 21, 2015
Councilmember Wollin asked staff if the Parks Master Plan mentions anything about a
community garden. Manager Hubbard replied no.
Councilmember Wollin asked staff if there were any suggestions in the citizen's
comments relative to this effort. Manager Hubbard replied no.
Mayor Kelly asked staff if there is a non-profit organization that runs the City of
Coppell garden. Manager Hubbard replied typically a non-profit organization would
partner with a city, and that is how the City of Coppell is done. He added the cities of
Hurst, Euless, and Bedford also partner with a non-profit group, 6 Stones, for their
community gardens.
Mayor Kelly asked staff if the City of Coppell is a neighborhood or communal garden.
Manager Hubbard replied it is neighborhood; however, their mission is to donate to a
local food bank.
Mayor Kelly asked staff if there is a non-profit organization looking to come to
Colleyville. Manager Hubbard replied that would be something done in the future, as
this is the first step in joining a consensus that this is something City Council would
like to pursue.
Councilmember Short asked staff if gardens are typically done at churches. Manager
Hubbard replied yes.
Councilmember Short asked staff if there are any churches in Colleyville that could do
this. Manager Hubbard replied not that he knows of.
Councilmember Hart stated the individuals are looking for the land. Manager Hubbard
replied yes, this is not something the City is requesting.
Councilmember Hart asked staff if this information has been placed in the
Communicator. City Manager Jennifer Fadden replied not yet, but if City Council
would like, staff can place the information in the Communicator.
Councilmember Hart stated he thinks it is a good idea. Mayor Kelly stated staff
resources would be a concern. He stated there are concerns as to how to limit
citizens who wish to be a part of the neighborhood garden, and how is it decided who
can go to the garden. He asked who would make the decision as to who can use the
garden. Manager Hubbard stated some gardens have waiting lists.
Councilmember Mogged asked staff if we can get the City of Coppell's policy. Manager
Hubbard replied yes, and added he has reviewed the City of North Richland Hills
common community grounds garden policy.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor asked staff if they have researched using public property for
City of Colleyville Page 5
City Council Minutes April 21, 2015
private use. Manager Hubbard replied he did not specifically look into that.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor asked staff who the revenues would be generated for. Manager
Hubbard replied the revenues would go to the non-profit. Mayor Pro Tem Taylor
stated the public property would be used to generate private revenues.
Councilmember Short stated the sports associations have a similar scenario. Mayor
Pro Tem Taylor stated a portion of those revenues is paid back to the City. City
Manager Jennifer Fadden agreed, to off-set a portion of the maintenance cost.
Councilmember Wollin asked staff if the City would provide the water. Manager
Hubbard replied the water would be brought over by the City; however the water
would be paid for by the non-profit organization.
Mayor Kelly stated we should first see if there is an actual interest in this.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor asked staff if this would be limited to Colleyville residents.
Manager Hubbard replied the non-profit would have to set that policy.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor asked staff if outside sports associations come to Colleyville to
play. City Manager Jennifer Fadden replied we only have contractual agreements with
the Colleyville Baseball Association, the Colleyville Girls Softball Association, and the
Colleyville Soccer Association, who allow non-resident participation. She stated City
Council would have to allow outside sports associations to participate in Colleyville.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor stated funding taxpayers use of their property is one thing,
funding non-residents is another. Mayor Kelly agreed. Councilmember Short stated
this is very early in the process. Councilmember Wollin stated it is a lot more
complicated than she originally thought.
Councilmember Wollin added that the school district (GCISD) would apply for grants
for such gardens, but when the teachers would leave, the gardens would fall to
pieces; therefore, long-term sustainability is an issue. Mayor Kelly stated there has
to be a "cheerleader" for this effort.
Mayor Pro Tem Taylor asked staff if there were any churches contacted since this is a
great outreach. Manager Hubbard replied no, since this was not a staff initiative at
this point in time.
Mayor Kelly asked City Council if this is something for which they would like staff to
solicit interest. Councilmember Wollin agreed.
