CITY COUNCIL PORTRAIT SITTING - 4:45 P.M.
PC-1 Presentation and discussion of a refunding opportunity of a portion of the
City's debt supported by ad valorem taxes and TIRZ revenue
Chief Financial Officer Brian Hogan introduced Jim Sabonis, First Southwest, who
presented this item and answered questions of the City Council.
Mayor Newton asked Mr. Sabonis if Colleyville if the expense of doing this is built
into the savings. Mr. Sabonis replied yes.
Councilmember Taylor stated this is exciting, and he stated being on board with
the recommendations. Mayor Newton agreed.
PC-2 Discussion of Water Rates
Chief Financial Officer Brian Hogan presented this item and briefed City Council.
Mayor Newton asked staff if the $7.67 of the base rate of Colleyville’s operating
expenses is really backed into when calculating the base rate; the number is not
actually based on computing the actual expenses. Chief Financial Officer Brian
Hogan replied yes.
City Council Minutes June 7, 2016
City of Colleyville Page 2
Mayor Newton asked staff if the wastewater bill received every month is based on
the winter average. Chief Financial Officer Brian Hogan replied yes.
Mayor Pro Tem Putnam asked staff if $8.23 is for the treatment of wastewater,
and $13.44 is literally debt service (proportionate share of debt service costs
divided by number of sewer customers). Chief Financial Officer Brian Hogan replied
yes, and he stated staff took how much is charged for wastewater treatment
divided by how much wastewater was run through TRA meters, in other words,
how much consumption we had. He added the same thing was done for the debt
service piece. City Manager Jennifer Fadden added that is not how we are charged,
but to show a per gallon average bill cost, that is what those figures represent.
Chief Financial Officer Brian Hogan added the bills do not reflect a per gallon
charge.
Mayor Pro Tem Putnam stated it is optically shocking to see that we are paying a
third more for debt services.
Mayor Newton asked staff if that debt is just for the wastewater side. Chief
Financial Officer Brian Hogan replied yes.
Councilmember Short asked staff what is done with the debt. Chief Financial
Officer Brian Hogan replied they are having to increase the capacity at the plant.
Councilmember Lindamood asked staff how long Colleyville has been paying the
debt. City Manager Jennifer Fadden replied she would have to get the date for
him, and added the debt service has increased in recent years.
Councilmember Lindamood asked staff if anyone from the City can sit on the TRA
board. Chief Financial Officer Brian Hogan replied staff is going to start going to
those advisory board meetings to represent the City. He added he would share
the information with City Council.
Councilmember Nakamura asked staff if this is the first time Colleyville has had
representatives there. Chief Financial Officer Brian Hogan replied Colleyville has
had representatives there all along, the prior CFO and the prior public works
director. City Manager Jennifer Fadden added, for clarification, it is not the
governing board for TRA, staff attends the advisory board meetings. She stated
the governing board for TRA is appointed by the governor.
Councilmember Short asked staff when there is a need for TRA to expand, such as
a water treatment plant, are they able to accumulate cash to pay for it, or is debt
the way they have to go. Chief Financial Officer Brian Hogan replied he believes
debt is the way they have to go, given their debt situation cannot be met with
cash alone. He added TRA is rated AA, whereas Colleyville is AAA rated.
City Council Minutes June 7, 2016
City of Colleyville Page 3
Councilmember Lindamood asked staff if we are bound contractually, as long as
there is debt, and we have to buy from them. Chief Financial Officer Brian Hogan
replied staff has questioned that with member cities and TRA, asking what would
happen if Colleyville left, but the contract states Colleyville has to stay until the
debt is paid off. Mayor Newton stated we are not bound to take 100 percent of the
water from TRA. Chief Financial Officer Brian Hogan stated he does not know that
for certain however, contractually there is language relative to an emergency
situation, whereby Colleyville could connect to North Richland Hills, but he is not
sure of what constitutes an emergency.
Mayor Pro Tem Putnam stated we obligated ourselves contractually, but we have
no influence on how TRA does their business or how much debt they accumulate.
Chief Financial Officer Brian Hogan concurred and stated other than staff attending
the advisory board meetings to serve as representatives to provide City Council
with answers to their questions.
Councilmember Coplen asked staff if some of the higher tiered uses have been
schools or commercial. Chief Financial Officer Brian Hogan replied yes, but there
were also many residential and irrigation meters.
Councilmember Short asked staff if the overall average would come down about
$30 with a $4.36 flat rate. Chief Financial Officer Brian Hogan replied yes, in the
fourth quartile customers (highest usage).
Mayor Pro Tem Putnam asked if the interim rate could be a hybrid approach. Chief
Financial Officer Brian Hogan replied yes.
Mayor Pro Putnam asked about the online payment vendor. Chief Financial Officer
Brian Hogan replied Paymentus is the vendor for online payments.
Councilmember Lindamood asked staff how much revenue is made from late
payments for the year. City Manager Jennifer Fadden replied she would have to
check and get back with him.
Councilmember Nakamura asked staff if this will be on the website. Chief Financial
Officer Brian Hogan replied yes, it will be an outside vendor, but it will be seamless
for the customer.
Councilmember Nakamura asked staff if there is a monthly service fee. Chief
Financial Officer Brian Hogan yes, but the details are not known yet, as we have
signed an agreement two years ago for development costs; however, nothing is
set until we go live.
Councilmember Lindamood asked staff if the customer can be charged for those
fees. Chief Financial Officer Brian Hogan replied we can, but it will be capped with
all customers, similar to the credit card fee percentage.
City Council Minutes June 7, 2016
City of Colleyville Page 4
Councilmember Nakamura asked staff if the fee is per transaction. Chief Financial
Officer Brian Hogan yes.
Mayor Newton stated the question now becomes how we do this on the short
term, the rest of this fiscal year, and then the long term issue done within the
budget process. He stated he recommended the need for the rate study to help in
this decision making process. He stated it will cost about $35,000 to accomplish
the rate study to figure out what needs to be done. He stated it will be like a flat
tax approach to help those out who use more water, but there is no conservation
component built into this. He stated if this is implemented, for the rest of this
fiscal year, the General Fund will be down $678,000 in revenue. He suggested
making adjustments to the capital projects list to make up this difference, as to
not mess with the CEDC budget, and have the city manager accomplish the
adjustments through the General Fund.
Mayor Newton stated being a proponent of making this rate adjustment now, and
then he asked City Council about their thoughts.
Mayor Pro Tem Putnam stated being in the same place, as this is a significant
problem. He stated there are a lot of things to discuss while doing the rate study,
and contemplate a different rate structure. He stated options, related to vendor
management, need to be evaluated. He stated in the meantime it helps people out
now, and he would like for staff to help City Council understand the lower capital
projects so that those can be removed first.
Councilmember Nakamura asked Mayor Newton if this will eliminate the tiered
rate. Mayor Newton replied yes.
Councilmember Lindamood agreed, and stated we should not penalize the
residents for having and investing in the larger lots. He added the flat rate is the
best way to go, or in the future do a different tiered structure.
Councilmember Coplen stated she would like to better understand the implications
this may have on Colleyville’s credit rating. Mayor Newton stated he does not
understand why there would be any implications to the Utility Fund. Chief
Financial Officer Brian Hogan stated it is complex, and this action alone would not
affect the credit rating of the City. The ratings agencies are more concerned with
the willingness of the City Council to set appropriate rates and the rate structure
consistency.
Mayor Newton stated the intent of the study is to know the costs so that we can
better cover costs.
Councilmember Nakamura asked staff if this consultant specializes in doing these
studies, because we do not have the expertise, and this is their primary business.
Chief Financial Officer Brian Hogan replied yes.
City Council Minutes June 7, 2016
City of Colleyville Page 5
Councilmember Short stated he is looking forward to the study results because
when the tier structure was implemented, the watering restrictions existed, and
now they do not. He stated he had some concerns about current system. He
stated he hopes the rate study will encourage watering restrictions. He added on
the long term, deferring maintenance concerns him just to do a short term feel
good, and do the flattening of the tiers in a revenue neutral manner.
Councilmember Coplen asked Councilmember Short what the revenue neutral
manner would look like. Councilmember Short replied it would be good if the tiers
could be flattened and not impact the revenues to have zero impact would be
more appealing to him.
Councilmember Lindamood stated currently the one acre lots are in the top tiers,
but later there could be a flat rate, up to a certain amount, to help flatten the
tiers, and the rate study may show this.
Mayor Newton stated he would like to have an ordinance on the next City Council
agenda.
Councilmember Coplen stated she agreed with Councilmember Short and added
she does not want us to fall behind on the CIP projects, especially the water
projects.
Councilmember Taylor stated he does not support this.
City Manager Jennifer Fadden stated staff will need to give direction to the
consultant relative to the flattened rate or a modified tiered rate structure, if City
Council is open to that option. Mayor Newton stated no to tiered rate structure
based on what he knows now, especially because the large lots are penalized
heavily.
PC-3 Discussion of setting City Council worksession dates
City Manager Jennifer Fadden explained City Council’s desires for additional budget
worksessions, and presented proposed dates for upcoming worksessions.
Councilmember Taylor asked staff if any of the worksession items could be
discussed during an upcoming regular Pre Council meeting. City Manager Jennifer
Fadden replied she did not believe so, especially between now and August.
Mayor and City Councilmembers explained the dates they are not available, and
asked the city manager to target worksession dates around those schedules. City
Manager Jennifer Fadden stated she would look at the remaining dates, and will
send all an email with the proposed worksession schedule.

information so close to when City Council has to make a decision on rate changes,
or if it is just for this time. Mr. Felan replied the typical cycle for filing is around

those rates. He stated we correspond with the cities and can answer questions
