City of Colleyville Page 1 City of Colleyville City Council Minutes City Hall 100 Main Street Colleyville, Texas 76034 817. 503.1000 www.colleyville.com Tuesday, July 12, 2016 City Council Chambers Mayor Richard Newton called the Pre Council meeting of the Colleyville City Council to order on July 12, 2016, at 5:30 p.m. ROLL CALL: Mayor Richard Newton, Mayor Pro Tem Chris Putnam, and Councilmembers Tammy Nakamura, Bobby Lindamood, Jody Short, and Mike Taylor Absent: Councilmember Nancy Coplen City Manager Jennifer Fadden, Deputy City Manager Chris Fuller, Assistant City Manager/Director of Public Safety Mike Holder, Fire Marshal Rob McKeown, Assistant Police Chief Robert Hinton, Communications and Marketing Director Mona Gandy, Chief Financial Officer Brian Hogan, Human Resources Director Rachel Huitt, City Engineer Cheryl Taylor, Principal Planner Shane Pace, Recreation and Library Director Mary Rodne, Parks Manager Heather Dowell, SH26 Coordinator James Hubbard, Strategic Services Manager Adrienne Lothery, Information Systems Manager Chris Pena, City Attorney Matthew Boyle, and City Secretary Amy Shelley PC-1 Discussion of the City Council Rules of Procedure Mayor Newton discussed the items in which he is proposing to change in the Rules of Procedure. Mayor Newton stated the first item was located on page 3 of 13, Section III, 3.1, Regular Meetings. He stated having a concern for the labeling of Pre Council, which is used as a worksession, as a regular meeting. He added the time for the regular meeting would then be set at 6:30 p.m. Mayor Pro Tem Putnam asked Mayor Newton why move the time to 6:30 p.m. versus 5:30 p.m. Mayor Newton replied an executive session would then open the regular meeting. Councilmember Taylor asked Mayor Newton if the intent is to ultimately do away with the Pre Council meeting. Mayor Newton replied he views it as a worksession, but not as a regular meeting. He stated attendance is not counted against a member for not attending, like it does for a regular meeting. He added these worksessions may be needed for a long period of time, and he intends to terminate the worksession time at 6:30 p.m. to allow for executive session items. City Council Minutes July 12, 2016 City of Colleyville Page 2 Councilmember Taylor asked Mayor Newton if the item could be called a regular worksession so that members are not having to manage another night in their schedules. Mayor Newton replied changing this does not mean we cannot have the worksession. Mayor Newton suggested inserting an item into the regular agenda item order as detailed on page 6 of 13, “Discussion of items not for action” after number nine. Mayor Newton suggested adding “tabled or” to item D(h), page 6 of 13. The item would read, “In the alternative, the item may be tabled or continued to a future meeting of the City Council. Councilmember Short asked Mayor Newton when an item it tabled, when does it come off. Mayor Newton replied an item remains tabled until City Council takes it off the table. Councilmember Short asked Mayor Newton what does that do to notifications. Mayor Newton replied there are some limitations on zoning cases, and we would have to be smart about those, but it is a legitimate option. Councilmember Short asked Mayor Newton if continuing to a date certain would clarify any concerns. Mayor Newton replied he has known for items to be tabled, but they were not left on the table for a long period of time. Councilmember Taylor asked staff if there are some issues with public hearings with tabling versus continuing. City Attorney Matthew Boyle replied Chapter 211 for notice requirements for zoning cases, is that notice is provided in the paper and the 200 foot notification area of the specific date of the hearings. In the event you wish to table beyond that, you could continue it to a date certain and there is no requirement for additional publication for the associated public hearing. He added if you simply procedurally table it, and are not certain when you will pick it up, you could have a Chapter 211 notice issue which is why the standard practice has been to continue the public hearing to a date certain. Mayor Newton asked staff if the public hearing would be re-advertised, if you did not know when it was going to be removed from the table. City Attorney Matthew Boyle replied yes. Mayor Newton asked staff if the public hearing would have to be re-advertised if the two public hearings were held before tabling the item. City Attorney Matthew Boyle replied the Charter requires action items to have an associated public hearing. Councilmember Taylor asked staff if City Council is able to take action on a tabled item that has not been posted. City Attorney Matthew Boyle replied relative to City Council Minutes July 12, 2016 City of Colleyville Page 3 zoning cases, the past practice has been to table them to a date certain, and there are no issues with the tabling of any other agenda item type. Councilmember Taylor suggested having City Council deliberation on public hearing items first, then to have citizen’s comments afterwards. He stated this may allow for unanswered questions from citizens to be heard during the City Council deliberation. Mayor Newton stated the presentation made by staff should answer any questions citizens may have. Mayor Pro Tem Putnam asked Councilmember Taylor if there would then be something to limit the public debate to move on to the public hearing. Councilmember Taylor replied he believes it would give the public more insight to the item, and the Mayor could then ask for any other comments, if any, and then open the public hearing. Councilmember Lindamood agreed. Mayor Pro Tem Putnam asked Councilmember Taylor what the parliamentary procedure to end that discussion is. Councilmember Taylor replied the Mayor would end the deliberation. Councilmember Short asked Mayor Newton if the applicant’s presentation would have to be heard during the public hearing. Mayor Newton replied no. Mayor Pro Tem Putnam and Councilmember Taylor concurred. Mayor Newton suggested this order for section D, page 6 of 13: a. Staff presentation b. Applicant introductory presentation – five minutes c. City Council discussion d. Open public hearing e. Citizen comments f. Close public hearing g. City Council discussion and vote h. In the alternative, the item may be tabled or continued to a future meeting of the City Council. Mayor Newton asked staff about section 5.3, page 7 of 13. City Attorney Matthew Boyle replied staff reports have become extremely problematic under the Open Meetings Act, and given the limitations of the Open Meetings Act, this section does not mean much at all. Councilmember Taylor asked staff if the section should be struck. City Attorney Matthew Boyle replied it is internally limited as it is currently written because if the city manager wanted to brief the City Council on something, the item should be posted on the agenda. He added the does not believe it serves much purpose. Mayor Newton stated it could be removed. City Council Minutes July 12, 2016 City of Colleyville Page 4 Councilmember Lindamood suggested changing, “A person who has not completed the Speaker’s Card prior to discussion of the item on the agenda shall not be allowed to speak,” from section 5.4(A), since often times persons will fill out a speaker card after the public hearing has been closed. Mayor Newton suggested changing the sentence to read, “A person who has not completed the Speaker’s Card prior to the close of the public hearing of the item on the agenda shall not be allowed to speak.” He added the public hearing could still be reopened. Mayor Pro Tem Putnam suggested removing, “but, they cannot offer additional unsolicited input or engage in question and answer sessions with Councilmembers,” as noted in the last sentence of section 6.1(D) page 9 of 13. Mayor Newton and Councilmembers agreed. Mayor Newton suggested changing the first sentence of section 6.1(H) to read, “If a Councilmember is transgressing the rules of the City Council, through speech or otherwise, the Mayor shall or any Councilmember may call him/her to order in which case he/she shall immediately be quiet unless permitted to explain.” Mayor Newton suggested increasing the amount of plants not to exceed $150 rather than $50, in section 8.1(A). Councilmembers agreed. Mayor Newton asked staff if $50 is sufficient for the donation of a book for someone’s memorial. Library and Recreation Director Mary Rodne replied yes. Mayor Newton explained that he had staff to update the Welcome brochure by removing two unnecessary paragraphs. Councilmember Taylor suggested a date of revision and a tracking number be added to the brochure. Mayor Newton stated the City Secretary can add a date to the document. Councilmember Nakamura agreed. Mayor Newton stated this brochure should be consistent with the Rules of Procedure. Mayor Newton stated he would like to talk about board, commission, and committee appointments in the near future. PC-2 Discussion of the Annual Market Study results This item was not discussed at this meeting. PC-3 Discussion of the FY17 insurance renewal recommendations Human Resources Director Rachel Huitt presented this item and answered questions of the City Council. Amber Shaddox, Vice President of Client Services for Holmes Murphy, was also available to answer questions. City Council Minutes July 12, 2016 City of Colleyville Page 5 Mayor Newton asked staff if the employee will have to spend the entire $5,000 out of pocket. Director Huitt replied yes, that is the deductible. Mayor Pro Tem Putnam asked staff if the HRA account continues to build. Director Huitt replied currently it is budgeted every year, and we are using about $45,000. Councilmember Short asked staff about the circumstances in which you would use the reimbursement. Director Huitt replied you would have to accumulate up to $750 in a calendar year, and at that time a reimbursement could be received from the HRA, if requested. City Manager Jennifer Fadden replied it has the effect of lowering the deductible for those employees who hit their deductible. Councilmember Short asked staff if the renewal would have been higher if more employees had met their deductible. Director Huitt replied yes. Mayor Newton asked staff about the effect to the employees. Director Huitt replied nothing on the medical side, but those that have used the HRA will be effected. Councilmember Nakamura asked staff how much money is in the HRA account. Director Huitt replied currently $85,000 is budgeted every year. Councilmember Nakamura asked staff which year did we have the larger claims. Director Huitt replied it was last year. Councilmember Nakamura asked staff if this will get any better next year. Ms. Shaddox replied it was felt last year with the 19 percent increase, and this year the claims were slightly improved but what we observed is that Colleyville had a large volume of claims with not necessarily large dollar amount claims. Councilmember Nakamura asked Ms. Shaddox if Blue Cross Blue Shield has a telemedicine component. Ms. Shaddox replied yes; however, they do not track its usage. Councilmember Nakamura asked staff if the employees are told that this is not getting any easier. Director Huitt replied yes, and the Benefits and Wellness Committee helps to educate the employees. Councilmember Taylor suggested partnering with other cities relative to providing health benefits. Mayor Pro Tem Putnam added those other communities’ profiles could help or hinder our profile. Mayor Newton stated being good with option 3 – dissolve HRA and allocate funds to offset increase. City Council Minutes July 12, 2016 City of Colleyville Page 6 Councilmember Short asked staff if option 3 will allow Colleyville to remain competitive to attract employees. Director Huitt replied most look at the deductible, and most do not know of the HRA. Councilmember Nakamura added the other cities are not doing an HRA. Mayor Newton asked staff if a larger pool of people in our network will help. Director Huitt replied she would look into that.

City Council Minutes July 12, 2016 City of Colleyville Page 9 Mayor Newton expressed his appreciation to the police department and the protection they provide to the citizens of Colleyville in this difficult time in our society. Mayor Pro Tem Putnam stated one thing that has never changed is the collective commitment to support the officers and first responders, and we do not appreciate them enough. He added this is a responsible budget that will continue to keep the community safe. Councilmember Taylor made a motion to approve Ordinance O-16-1980. Councilmember Nakamura seconded the motion. The motion carried with the following vote: Aye: 6 – Mayor Richard Newton, Mayor Pro Tem Chris Putnam, and Councilmembers Tammy Nakamura, Bobby Lindamood, Jody Short, and Mike Taylor Absent: 1 – Nancy Coplen 5b Ordinance O-16-1981 An ordinance amending Section 3A of the Water and Sewer Policy and Procedure manual as contained in the Code of Ordinances of the City of Colleyville, Texas by eliminating tiered water rates and establishing a rate of $4.36 per thousand gallons of water for all gallons not included in the base rate, and providing for an effective date Mayor Newton read the caption of Ordinance O-16-1981. Chief Financial Officer Brian Hogan presented this item and briefed the City Council. Mayor Newton opened the public hearing at 7:57 p.m. George Dodson, 7309 Balmoral Drive, spoke in support of the $4.36 water rate. There were no others present wishing to speak and Mayor Newton closed the public hearing at 7:58 p.m. Councilmember Taylor spoke in opposition to this rate change with concerns that there might need to be a change in the rate again, given the outcome of the rate study; a reduction in revenues will impact programs; the conservation element is eliminated; the debt service obligation may increase; and long term infrastructure may be reduced. City Council Minutes July 12, 2016 City of Colleyville Page 10 Mayor Newton stated this will not change the Utility Fund financials, the impact is to the General Fund. He stated the impact to the General Fund is $678,000 for 2016, but because money had already been moved, there will be no services impacted. He added the City has been financially blessed, but there will be an impact to the 2017 budget of $1 million in the General Fund. Councilmember Short spoke in opposition to this rate change with concerns about: moving a conservation measure; reduction of revenue; and dropping the rate for the highest users by raising the rates on the lower users. Mayor Pro Tem Putnam stated this is not about the City losing money, it is about putting money back in the citizen’s pockets. He stated the tiered policy was used as a way to recover revenue. He stated nobody anticipated the impact of the bills, once regular watering took place. He added this is a responsible way to give the residents some much needed relief. Councilmember Nakamura stated maybe we need to support fewer programs so that we can help our citizens. She stated when she ran for City Council she stated she was looking at the citizens. She added she supports this in order to help the citizens. Councilmember Lindamood stated we will have to make the necessary budget cuts to allow for this rate in order to help our citizens. He stated we need to be using the water rather than flushing it out of the tank because it is not being used. He added people are struggling, and they have let him know about it; therefore, he supports this rate change. Mayor Newton added once the rate study is completed more data will be received to make the necessary adjustments. He stated we pay $3.93 per thousand gallons, and we are charging $4.36, with the difference between the two including costs to deliver the water. He added the debt service number is projected to go down. He added there are mechanisms for conservation which will always be available to us. Councilmember Lindamood made a motion to approve Ordinance O-16- 1981. Councilmember Nakamura seconded the motion. The motion carried with the following vote: Aye: 4 – Mayor Richard Newton, Mayor Pro Tem Chris Putnam, and Councilmembers Tammy Nakamura, and Bobby Lindamood Nay: 2 – Councilmembers Jody Short and Mike Taylor Absent: 1 – Nancy Coplen City Council Minutes July 12, 2016 City of Colleyville Page 11 6. ORDINANCE(S): FIRST READING AND PUBLIC HEARING 6a Ordinance O-16-1982 Consideration of an amendment to the PUDC-Planned Unit Development Commercial District on Lots 1R, 2, and 3, Block 1 of the Village Park Addition, located at 1001, 1005, and 1009 Glade Road, Case ZC16-009 Mayor Newton read the caption of Ordinance O-16-1982. Deputy City Manager Chris Fuller presented this item and briefed the City Council. Mayor Newton opened the public hearing at 8:29 p.m. Susan Lyons, applicant and property owner, presented this item and briefed the City Council. Kathy Hadley, 204 Timberline Drive North, stated she would like for City Council to make sure they understand exactly what is going on, especially if trees are going to be removed. There was no one else wishing to speak and Mayor Newton closed the public hearing at 8:31 p.m. Mayor Newton asked staff if additional parking may be associated with the additional uses, and if so, will the parking requirements be met. Deputy City Manager Chris Fuller replied staff has analyzed the additional uses with the zoning district, an eight additional potential uses, and there would be sufficient parking with those additional uses. Mayor Pro Tem Putnam asked staff how the tenants became out of conformity with the zoning. Deputy City Manager Chris Fuller replied a mistake was made on staff’s behalf through the certificate of occupancy process by not ensuring a use was allowed by the zoning district, which was done in 2006, 2009, 2010, and 2014, making four businesses not in conformance with zoning. He added we have added checks in place to ensure compliance is met during this process. Councilmember Lindamood asked staff if the uses were in compliance in the beginning. Deputy City Manager Chris Fuller replied yes, but over the past 10 years, there have been several mistakes. Councilmember Short asked staff if the parking analysis includes the current empty tenant space. Deputy City Manager Chris Fuller replied the Land Development Code assigns parking according to use so the vacant space does not affect that. City Council Minutes July 12, 2016 City of Colleyville Page 12 Councilmember Short asked staff if there will be sufficient parking spaces to accommodate a use in the empty space. Deputy City Manager Chris Fuller replied it will depend on the use, and it would be the responsibility of the property owner not to lease to a tenant that could not park. Mayor Newton asked staff if the total number of parking spaces is based on the total square footage. Deputy City Manager Chris Fuller replied yes, and the parking requirements would not be the same for all land uses. Mayor Newton asked staff how an assessment is made for multiple uses and different parking requirements. Deputy City Manager Chris Fuller replied when a permit is submitted staff will analyze the parking ratios based on single or multi- use buildings based on the Land Development Code requirements. Councilmember Short asked staff if something can be done with the site distance problem at the intersection of Bedford Road and Glade Road with this zoning amendment. City Attorney Matthew Boyle replied this is a customizable zoning amendment, and visibility would be a valid land use concern. This was a first reading, therefore, City Council did not take any action. 6b Ordinance O-16-1983 Authorizing the sale and issuance of $6,140,000 of General Obligation Refunding Bonds, Series 2016 and providing for the redemption of the obligations being refunded Mayor Newton read the caption of Ordinance O-16-1983. Chief Financial Officer Brian Hogan presented this item and briefed the City Council. Mayor Newton asked staff if this is being done to save the City money. Chief Financial Officer Brian Hogan replied yes. Mayor Newton asked staff about the net savings. Chief Financial Officer Brian Hogan replied $626,575, which is spread out evenly over the remaining life of the bond, which is 11 years. Mayor Newton opened the public hearing at 8:50 p.m. There was no one present wishing to speak and Mayor Newton closed the public hearing at 8:50 p.m. This was a first reading, therefore, City Council did not take any action. City Council Minutes July 12, 2016 City of Colleyville Page 13 7. CITIZEN COMMENTS/PRESENTATIONS REGARDING ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA Kathy Hadley, 204 Timberline Drive North, stated being concerned about the trees being removed at Roberts Road, and before any final decisions are made please save the neighborhoods and the wildlife that are left in Colleyville. Judy Chappelle, 1716 Glade Road, spoke about the new Councilmembers following through on their campaign promises; the restriping of Glade Road has made a big difference; additional street signs on Glade Road may help, such as “road narrows”, “watch for cars turning”, “don’t text and drive”; expressed her appreciation about the vigil ceremony; and for everyone to stay above the fray and focus on the needs that need attention. Heidi Hughes, 7305 Vanguard Court, spoke about her concerns about the tree trimming, and the treatment of the homeowners by Oncor in June of this year. She stated she would like for the City to check into these issues before Oncor plans to continue this tree trimming along Cheek-Sparger, and let Oncor know that we are serious and watching what they are doing. Toni Seris, 5000 Montclair Drive, spoke about an email sent to the owners of some of the Colleyville restaurants, and stated having a concern about those who cannot move forward because of the results of the newly elected Councilmembers. He encouraged those to not support this discouragement. Kathleen Hennessy, 5013 Stonebridge Drive, spoke about the drainage choke point at Glade Road and Riverwalk Drive; the vacant lot adjacent to Riverwalk Drive and proposed roundabout should be turned into a pocket park; she had her water tested and it came back as positive with ecoli and lead; the Preservation development and the removal of a burm; and how the storm water drainage comes to her yard from that development. Betsy Deck, 3601 Cliffwood Drive, expressed her appreciation to the police and fire departments for their participation in her neighborhood parade, and she shared photos of the event. 8.
