WS-1 Discussion of Conflict of Interest forms for vendors
City Manager Jennifer Fadden provided a brief update to the City Council.
Councilmember Bobby Lindamood additionally presented this item and briefed the
City Council.
Councilmember Taylor stated if this is something that needs to be done, we should
be receiving these. City Manager Jennifer Fadden stated a vendor or a public
official must file the form.
Mayor Pro Tem Putnam asked staff if the forms are required. City Manager
Jennifer Fadden replied state law requires it when the conflict exists.
Mayor Pro Tem Putnam asked staff if the forms are required when the conflict does
not exist. City Manager Jennifer Fadden replied the forms are not required by the
state when a conflict does not exist.
Councilmember Lindamood suggested all contracts, even Interlocal Agreements,
should include the conflict of interest forms and should be included in the public
documents. Mayor Newton concurred.
City Council Minutes November 1, 2016
City of Colleyville Page 2
Councilmember Nakamura asked staff if this is currently taking place. City
Manager Jennifer Fadden replied the City relies on the vendor and public officials
to submit the required documentation.
Councilmember Nakamura asked staff if the forms come with the contracts. City
Manager Jennifer Fadden replied the forms are not submitted if a conflict does not
exist.
Councilmember Lindamood suggested the forms should be a part of the vendor’s
submittal packet, even if a conflict does not exist.
Councilmember Taylor asked Mayor Newton if the vendor would fill out “no” or
“n/a” when a conflict does not exist. Mayor Newton replied yes.
Mayor Newton asked Councilmember Lindamood if he would like all vendors to
submit these forms. Councilmember Lindamood replied yes, for any contract and
Interlocal Agreements.
City Manager Jennifer Fadden asked Councilmember Lindamood for clarification of
the $2,500, would that be purchase amount or relative to income. Councilmember
Lindamood replied any business of $2,500 or more. City Manager Jennifer Fadden
added the current purchasing policy requires all purchases of $1,000 or more to
receive three quotes.
City Manager Jennifer Fadden asked staff if the $2,500 is a reasonable amount or
should it be consistent with the current purchasing policy of $1,000. Chief
Financial Officer Brian Hogan replied he would prefer for it to be consistent with
the purchasing policy, and it can be included in the bid packet, and received from
everyone regardless if we go with the bid or not.
City Manager Jennifer Fadden stated staff will proceed with an amendment with
the City’s purchasing policy to include that for all purchases over $1,000, the
vendor will submit the most recent CIQ form with their quote and those will be on
file and available for anyone to review it.
Councilmember Lindamood stated if the form is not attached, there should be a
flag or something that states the contract is not valid. City Manager Jennifer
Fadden stated we would view their bid as incomplete.
Councilmember Taylor asked staff if this requirement has already been in effect,
and if there has not been a conflict to report. City Manager Jennifer Fadden replied
correct, and all forms received are currently on the City’s website. She stated
there are no CIQ forms, just CIS.
City Council Minutes November 1, 2016
City of Colleyville Page 3
Councilmember Nakamura asked staff if these will now be in the packets. City
Manager Jennifer Fadden replied it will be a part of their quote provided to the
City.
Councilmember Taylor asked staff if the forms will be included in the briefing
packets for those contracts being considered by City Council. City Manager
Jennifer Fadden replied yes, as well as the 1295 forms.
Councilmember Short asked staff what vendors will place in box number 3 for
those who have no conflict. City Manager Jennifer Fadden replied “n/a.”
Councilmember Short suggested providing some direction to our vendors.
Councilmember Lindamood suggested having links available on the website which
provide examples, such as the TML one.
Councilmember Taylor stated the most current form should be used. Mayor
Newton stated these forms will be available in the packet, which is a positive
change.
Councilmember Lindamood asked staff about the state’s minimum. City Manager
Jennifer Fadden replied the threshold is $2,500 in taxable income other than
investments with the vendor and local government official or family member.
Councilmember Lindamood asked staff if the amount will now be $1,000. City
Manager Jennifer Fadden replied yes, for purchases. Mayor Pro Tem Putnam stated
it is for procurement.
City Manager Jennifer Fadden asked for clarification from City Council if 30-45
days to adequately train staff members is good with the City Council. Chief
Financial Officer Brian Hogan agreed, and stated it should not be an extra burden
administratively. City Manager Jennifer Fadden replied December 1st will be the
implementation date.
Councilmember Lindamood suggested having it done as soon as possible to
accommodate the upcoming bids being let out. Mayor Newton stated those forms
can be filled out and included with those bids now.
Councilmember Short asked Mayor Newton if there are any pending questions he
should answer. Mayor Newton replied the questions have to do with business
relationships and interested parties. As an elected official, external to our elected
position, there may be business relationships that should be disclosed.
Councilmember Short asked Mayor Newton if he would need to fill out a form
because of Transystems, even though the last contract he had had with them was
in 2009. Mayor Newton replied that would be an individual decision and he stated
City Council Minutes November 1, 2016
City of Colleyville Page 4
he tends to go overboard. Councilmember Short added he needs clarification and
guidance.
Councilmember Lindamood stated the burden is upon the vendor, if you know
them or have done business with them, then yes, the form should be filled out.
Councilmember Nakamura asked Councilmember Short if the timeframe is listed
on the form. Councilmember Short stated he believed it is. Councilmember
Lindamood stated the form states 12 months, but it can be our policy to have
whatever is necessary for longer transparency.
Mayor Pro Tem Putnam stated at the end of the day, we are shifting the burden of
disclosure, so that we are not just assuming.
Councilmember Taylor asked Mayor Newton if the change is that we want this
filled out regardless if there is a conflict or not. Mayor Newton replied yes.
Councilmember Taylor asked Mayor Newton what about contracts that are in our
favor, but are incomplete. Mayor Newton replied if they did not have the form, it
would give the City the right to negate the contract.
City Manager Jennifer Fadden stated that for purchases of more than $1,000, we
have to have three quotes from qualified vendors, but without the form, it would
not be considered a legitimate quote.
Mayor Newton stated the only thing that is different is dropping the minimum from
$2,500 to $1,000; and, requiring the form regardless if there is a conflict or not.
Councilmember Lindamood stated if the vendor is going to submit a bid, they need
to fill out these forms. Mayor Pro Tem Putnam added it is a standard accepted by
the communities surrounding Colleyville.
Assistant City Manager/Director of Public Safety Mike Holder stated clarification is
needed as to whether the forms are filled out for bids and not just a purchase. He
used an example of getting three quotes, one being from Wal-Mart to purchase TV
monitors. Councilmember Lindamood stated the forms would need to be filled out
for anything that we are accepting bids for.
Mayor Newton asked staff the difference between a quote and a bid. City Manager
Jennifer Fadden replied anything $50,000 dollars or more is submitted through a
sealed bid that is advertised and opened in a competitive bid process. She stated
anything between $1,000 and $50,000 requires three quotes. Accounting Manager
Karen Hines added a verbal quote can be received for anything $3,000 and below.
Mayor Newton asked City Council if $2,500 is acceptable for the verbal quoting
process. City Manager Jennifer Fadden explained that the $2,500 in the statute is
City Council Minutes November 1, 2016
City of Colleyville Page 5
related to income from the vendor, whether the vendor has paid the public official
$2,500, there is not a purchasing amount threshold, it could be any amount.
Mayor Newton stated he is willing to go with what the state law outlines.
Councilmember Taylor agreed. Councilmember Lindamood stated these forms will
come to the City, not to the state.
Councilmember Taylor asked Mayor Newton if the $2,500 is the minimum. Mayor
Newton replied that is income, and any contract we would see will be more than
$2,500.
City Manager Jennifer Fadden stated the City Council is not going to receive any
documentation unless there is an item on the agenda. These will be forms
maintained in City records, and through the purchasing process, we will create a
depository where the forms will be.
Councilmember Taylor suggested including those forms in each competitive bid
packet, and add it to the bid tab. Mayor Newton agreed.
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 asked staff about the site distance with a six and half foot tall sign.
Director Bryner replied not being sure how to address that since the signs will be
internal to the site.
Mayor Newton asked staff if the signs will need to be permitted prior to being
installed. Director Bryner replied yes. Mayor Newton stated the site distance can
be addressed at that time, if necessary.
WS-3 Discussion of Joint Access Agreements along SH26
SH26 Coordinator James Hubbard presented this item and briefed the City Council.
Councilmember Short suggested making the connection, with no impact to the
business.
Mayor Newton stated being good with these as long as there is a benefit to them
and the City. He stated if there are physical changes to the business or use, then
they would lose their grandfathered status. He stated the business would get
credit for the parking spaces lost because of the joint access.
Councilmember Taylor asked staff if they have looked at the parking issues during
the day versus during the night, like for the bank and Bahama Bucks. Coordinator
City Council Minutes November 1, 2016
City of Colleyville Page 6
Hubbard replied yes, but it would not apply for businesses with the same peak
hours of operation. He stated the last resort is the grandfathering issues.
Councilmember Taylor said we are not compelling anyone to have to do this.
Coordinator Hubbard replied correct.
Mayor Newton stated redevelopment needs to take place with parking spaces
available.
Councilmember Lindamood asked staff if we are still giving the businesses credit
for the parking spaces taken. Coordinator Hubbard replied not for a full
redevelopment or addition.
Coordinator Hubbard stated there would be modifications to the Land Development
Code specific to joint access easements along SH26, and additional approval for
City Council.
Councilmember Taylor asked staff if this has been discussed with current business
owners. Coordinator Hubbard replied he has discussed this with Bellisimo’s, and
making that connection will benefit them.
Mayor Newton stated the construction on SH26 is going to begin this month.

5. ORDINANCE(S): FIRST READING AND PUBLIC HEARING
5a Ordinance O-16-1996
An ordinance amending Sections 3A and 3B of the Water and Sewer
Policy and Procedure manual as contained in the Code of Ordinances of
the City of Colleyville, Texas, by implementing the recommendations
of the Water and Wastewater Rate Advisory Committee, and providing
for an effective date
Mayor Newton read the caption of Ordinance O-16-1996.
Water and Wastewater Rate Advisory Committee Chair Susan Mathisen briefed the
City Council. Mayor Newton also provided a briefing explaining how this rate
change fits into the policy decisions of the City Council.
Chief Financial Officer Brian Hogan explained the ordinance amendments. City
Manager Jennifer Fadden explained that staff had identified an error in the City’s
City Council Minutes November 1, 2016
City of Colleyville Page 10
utility billing software regarding how commercial wastewater customer billing
charges had been set up and wanted to both make the City Council aware of this
error and seek any direction from the Council on correcting the billing error.
Commercial wastewater customers should have been billed a base charge $13.45
since January 2016, but were only charged $10.45, the same rate as residential
customers, as the rate did not get updated in the City’s utility billing software. She
stated as soon as the error was identified, the correct rate was entered into the
billing software and the most recent billing cycle reflected the correct base charge.
She added that the differential of what should have been billed versus what was
actually billed to commercial wastewater customers was $12,426 for the Utility
Fund for fiscal year 2016. She stated staff is seeking City Council’s guidance on
how they would like to go back and collect the amount from commercial
wastewater customers, or not have that amount be collected for commercial
wastewater customers.
Mayor Newton opened the public hearing at 8:20 p.m.
David Medlin, 605 Montreux Avenue, spoke in support of the ordinance, and
stated having concerns about who provides the policy direction given that the
investments information was not provided to the committee ahead of time. He
stated he wants a transparent conversation about the capital improvement
investments or projects. He expressed his appreciation to the work provided by
the committee.
Claudia Bevill, 119 Cheek-Sparger Road, spoke in support of the ordinance, and
expressed her appreciation to the committee and City Council to the work provided
on the water rates. She stated having a number of concerns: 1) the required
revenue for water and wastewater in the NewGen study does not align with the
budgeted revenue. There is a discrepancy of about $2 million dollars. She asked if
someone made a mistake or mislead the consultant or the committee. She stated
accountability steps need to be taken.
There were no others present wishing to speak and Mayor Newton closed the
public hearing at 8:27 p.m.
Councilmember Taylor asked Mayor Newton to clarify the comments provided by
Mr. Medlin and Ms. Bevill. Mayor Newton replied the committee received a
presentation by the consultant and part of that was identifying revenue needed. At
that point there was a $2 million dollar amount identified for reoccurring capital
projects, and that is the discrepancy they are referring to. If that had been left in
there, there would have been a rate increase to account for that $2 million. In the
current 2017 budget, the committee looked at what revenue is required in the
Utility Fund, and actually approved in the 2017 budget, because that is the
number needed to be generated by rates. That is the number the committee used,
not based on that plus the $2 million. For 2017, $750,000 is for capital projects
that would have been from the fund balance. He stated there was a question about
City Council Minutes November 1, 2016
City of Colleyville Page 11
the available cash balance to the Utility Fund in reality, with all funds combined,
added up to over $11 million. He stated the answer we would get before that was
$5 million. He stated for years those terms had been used, and that was the way
the books were set up, but from that point forward the fund balance will be the
sum of all of those, so that it is real clear.
Councilmember Nakamura asked Mr. Medlin about the fund that was not known
about. Mr. Medlin replied no one was aware of the real fund balance. He stated it
would be nice to know where the money came from. He stated it is unclear of who
made the policy decision to spend down the fund, but now there is an assumption
to put $1.4 million in, which is a policy change. What about the amount in that
number, was that what was approved for capital projects or was it a bigger
number. So not only is the fund history going down, or being done by one
assumption, but it does not appear it is being done by good governance.
Mayor Pro Tem Putnam stated the current CIP Fund itself is very healthy. He
stated the committee provided an outstanding deliverable. He suggested having a
committee evaluate other options for water sources, such as the purple pipe, and
to keep going to address the TRA debt side at some point.
This was a first reading, therefore City Council did not take action.
5b Ordinance O-16-1997
Consideration of an amendment to the PUD-R-Planned Unit
Development-Residential district to amend the front building line on
Lots 1-9, Block 1, of the Carmel Place Estates Addition, located at
4916, 4912, 4908, 4828, 4824, 4820, 4816, 4812 and 4808 Carmel
Place, Case ZC16-015
Mayor Newton read the caption of Ordinance O-16-1997.
Community Development Director Ben Bryner presented this item and briefed the
City Council.
Councilmember Lindamood asked staff if moving the build line will allow for the
building of a larger house outside of the flood area. Director Bryner replied correct,
nothing can be built beyond the flood plain.
Councilmember Lindamood asked staff if the amendment only applies to the nine
lots. Director Bryner replied yes.
Russell Slovak, the applicant, presented this item and briefed the City Council.
Mayor Pro Tem Putnam asked Mr. Slovak how moving the setback will impact the
available area to build or square footage of the house. Mr. Slovak replied they
would be able to add an additional 1,000 square feet.
City Council Minutes November 1, 2016
City of Colleyville Page 12
Mayor Pro Tem Putnam asked Mr. Slovak how the development is being marketed.
Mr. Slovak replied he did not know.
Mayor Pro Tem Putnam stated having a concern about the type of builder who will
go into this development. Mr. Slovak replied there will be custom builders, and
they are the ones who have asked to move the building line.
Mayor Pro Tem Putnam asked staff about their recommendations. Director Bryner
replied had the applicant requested this amendment on a few lots, the
recommendation would have been different, but because they have requested it
on all lots, staff based the recommendation on uniformity.
Mayor Newton opened the public hearing at 9:03 p.m.
Kathleen Hennessey, 5013 Stonebridge Drive, spoke in support of the request and
expressed her appreciation about the drainage improvements on the subject
property.
There were no others present wishing to speak and Mayor Newton closed the
public hearing at 9:05 p.m.
Mayor Newton asked staff if there is any process to go through to be able to build
into the floodplain area. Director Bryner replied the applicant would have to submit
through FEMA for their review.
Councilmember Lindamood asked staff if the applicant would have to go through
FEMA because it is a natural floodplain. Director Bryner replied FEMA regulates the
floodplain areas. Mayor Newton stated it is possible.
This was a first reading, therefore City Council did not take action.
5c Ordinance O-16-1998

7. CITIZEN COMMENTS/PRESENTATIONS REGARDING ITEMS NOT ON
THE AGENDA
Frank Genco, 1104 John McCain Road, stated having concerns about a church
building to three stories on a portion of their building. He stated because the
church is considered a commercial building, they have different regulations, even
though the church is in a residential area.
Kathy Hadley, 204 Timberline Drive North, expressed her appreciation to the City
Council for their work on the water rates; the number of interested citizens voting
during this election; buildings on SH26 that need to be architecturally improved
(retail strip center where Subway is located); do not widen Glade Road or SH26;
keep the country charm of Colleyville; thankful for City staff and their help; do not
make changes on Cheek-Sparger Road; and stated being tired of change.
Kathleen Hennessy, 5013 Stonebridge Drive, spoke about the Preservation
development with concerns about storm drainage flooding, silt dumping and
encroachment on neighbors.
Natalie Genco, 1104 John McCain Road, stated having concerns about the removal
of trees on the two parcels of property located at SH26, just south of John McCain
Road. She stated those parcels would be an ideal purchase for the City to expand
the park system because of the big trees. She stated there could be bike trails
included to continue to the pocket park. She stated having additional concerns
about whether or not the property owner did or did not pay for the mitigation of
the trees that were removed.
