3. RESOLUTION(S): READING AND PUBLIC HEARING
3a Resolution R-16-4027
A resolution amending Resolution R-16-4019 calling a special election
for the purpose of submitting to the registered voters of the City of
Colleyville the adoption or rejection of proposed amendments to the
existing Colleyville City Charter
Mayor Newton read Resolution R-16-4027 in its entirety.
Mayor Newton opened the public hearing at 5:43 p.m.
There was no one present wishing to speak, and Mayor Newton closed the public
hearing at 5:43 p.m.
Councilmember Short stated he believes there is a loophole in the disclosure
requirements relative to dependent children over 18 years; the geography of the
disclosure does not make sense; and, relative to term limits, he did not believe the
Charter Review Committee looked at the impacts of term limits on the community.
Mayor Newton asked Councilmember Short if he believes the disclosure
requirements should be tightened to include dependents over the age of 18.
Councilmember Short replied yes.
Councilmember Nakamura asked Councilmember Short to clarify his statement.
Councilmember Short replied that if your minor dependent child receives a gift,
you must disclose it; however, if your dependent is 19 years old, they are not
considered a minor, and therefore you would not have to disclose the gift. He
stated this seems to be a loophole in the disclosure requirements.
Mayor Newton added it is fairly standard to have minor children included in
something like this, and not otherwise. He stated the proposed amendment makes
a significant change in expanding who must file the disclosure, which is a positive
move.
Mayor Pro Tem Putnam made a motion to approve Resolution R-16-4027.
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, Nancy Coplen, and
Mike Taylor
Nay: 1 – Councilmember Jody Short
