shared. Ms. Bentley replied no.

date” versus “pay now.” Ms. Bentley replied yes. Chief Financial Officer Brian

preferences.

date. Ms. Bentley replied by 5:00 p.m., the transaction will be processed within

dumped. Ms. Bentley replied all card information is stored in “My Wallet” and the
software stores the information in an encrypted manner.
Councilmember Nakamura asked Ms. Bentley if the convenience fee is a flat fee
not a percentage. Ms. Bentley replied yes.
Councilmember Short asked staff if the fee is typically charged by municipal
governments relative to credit cards. Chief Financial Officer Brian Hogan replied it
depends on the credit card processor based on the software services.
Councilmember Coplen asked Ms. Bentley if a customer can view their bills online,
even if they are not using the online service. Ms. Bentley replied the customer
does not have to pay online, but they can set up an online account.
Mayor Newton asked Ms. Bentley if the bills are PDF renditions. Ms. Bentley replied
yes.

Bentley replied yes, the usage is on the front page. She stated there will

Mayor Newton asked Ms. Bentley how the voluntary fee contributions are handled
through the payment portal. Ms. Bentley replied we process what is sent to us,
and we will display what is set up.
Mayor Newton asked Ms. Bentley if the citizen can change the amount they want
to pay for the voluntary contribution. Ms. Bentley replied yes.
Councilmember Taylor asked staff if there is a late fee for not paying the voluntary
fee contribution. Chief Financial Officer Brian Hogan replied staff runs a settlement
report to ensure the late fees are not being assessed to the voluntary
contributions.
Mayor Newton asked staff if all of the late fees are tracked. Chief Financial Officer
Brian Hogan replied yes.

voluntary fee. Chief Financial Officer Brian Hogan replied it is marked on the bill.

relative to the voluntary fee contribution.

billing, from Colleyville’s website. Ms. Bentley replied yes. City Manager Jennifer
Fadden added there will be a “Make a Payment” button available on the new
website.

independently from Colleyville’s website. Ms. Bentley replied yes, they will have to
save the URL address for the next time they use the site.
Councilmember Short asked Ms. Bentley if the email notification the customer
receives will have a link to the online payment website. Ms. Bentley replied it can
be added.
Councilmember Taylor asked Ms. Bentley if customers can receive an email and
text when their bills are ready. Ms. Bentley replied currently only one option is
available, not both.
Mayor Newton asked Ms. Bentley if there is a City portal. Ms. Bentley replied yes.
Mayor Newton asked Ms. Bentley if all data will be loaded. Ms. Bentley replied yes,
the City can look at the account to look up a payment, schedule a payment, pull

information.

Brian Hogan replied yes.

replied her group also does testing on the Paymentus side as well.
WS-2 Discussion of sign ordinance relative to directory signage
Community Development Director Ben Bryner presented this item and briefed the
City Council.
Mayor Newton stated not being comfortable with general regulations in the Land
Development Code because of one application, especially since the code applies to
the entire City.
Councilmember Coplen suggested whatever is determined (sign, shape, size color,
etc.) should be a branding for Colleyville.
Councilmember Taylor asked staff if these would be placed on private streets.
Director Bryner replied for this particular application, yes, private drives.
Councilmember Taylor stated he would be supportive of something since these are
on the applicant’s property and they make sense to the businesses.
Mayor Newton stated we should think through the criteria for these types of signs.
Mayor Pro Tem Putnam asked staff if the change includes limiting the size of the
signs per square footage. Director Bryner replied it can.
Councilmember Lindamood concurred with Councilmember Coplen in that the
branding needs to be on there so that all will look alike.
Councilmember Short asked staff if the sign regulations speak to sight distance.
Director Bryner replied currently the code states the sign shall be placed 75 feet
away from any street side property lines.
Mayor Newton stated the concept is fine, but asked staff to revise the proposal
and then bring it back to City Council for a future discussion.

City of Colleyville Page 9
Mayor Newton asked staff about the reasoning for the contract going up eight
percent for the first year. Director Hutt replied the cost history and preventative
maintenance are evaluated, and the calculated risk, which is used to get the five
year average cost, and then they establish the initial rate with a five percent
increase each year after.
Mayor Newton asked staff to explain how this rate/amount was arrived at. Director
Hutt replied it is a calculation based on the units we have included in the
agreement.
Mayor Newton asked staff about the cooperative purchasing agreement and how
that was completed. Director Hutt replied the cooperative purchasing program
utilizes entities across the country, and was actually competitively bid in 2015 with
a separate entity with the agreement to allow other members of the cooperative
purchasing to utilize that agreement.
Mayor Newton asked staff about the non-specified equipment repair, but is this
equipment not listed in the contract or some component not listed. Director Hutt
replied there are two large HVAC units covered in this agreement. He added there
are items such as the VAB boxes, and the heating components that are covered
elsewhere. He stated they want to clarify what is actually included in the two HVAC
units.
Public Works Director Jeremy Hutt briefed the City Council on item 4h.
Mayor Newton asked staff what is the advantage to a five year agreement.
Director Hutt replied a five year agreement locks the pricing in for a five year
term.
Assistant City Manager/Director of Public Safety Mike Holder briefed the City
Council on item 4i.
Mayor Newton asked staff about the three year average impact. Assistant City
Manager/Director of Public Safety Mike Holder replied when we initially entered
into the contract, we provided activity for 2009, and they utilized those numbers
between the three cities, and based on that, a percentage of total cost was
developed for operations. He stated the usage average went up significantly based
on the original contract.
Mayor Newton asked staff when the first true-up year was. Assistant City
Manager/Director of Public Safety Mike Holder replied it would have been 2013, FY
2014, and then realized in 2015.
Councilmember Lindamood asked staff why the contract is for so long. Assistant
City Manager/Director of Public Safety Mike Holder replied because of the logistics
it would take to start up our own facility, the equipment purchases, facility
City Council Minutes September 6, 2016
City of Colleyville Page 10
upgrades, hiring the staffing, and finding the funding. He stated this was seen as a
long term solution, and it is still seen as a longer term solution for the cities.
Mayor Newton asked staff if there is a five percent limit and do we have five
percent of the budget. Assistant City Manager/Director of Public Safety Mike
Holder stated it comes into play with an estimate, and as the final numbers come
in for the budget, they cannot go up more than five percent.
Mayor Newton asked staff about the out-clause for the six year agreement.
Assistant City Manager/Director of Public Safety Mike Holder replied 24 months,
and this is the first five year renewal.
Chief Financial Officer Brian Hogan briefed the City Council on item 4j.
