Shelley answered questions.
WS-1 Discussion of Temporary Business Signs - State Highway 26
SH26 Coordinator James Hubbard presented this item and answered questions of
the City Council.
Mayor Newton asked staff if the proposed sign changes are for during the
construction time of SH26. Coordinator Hubbard replied correct; a 7.1 section
could be added.
Mayor Newton asked staff if that section would go away after the construction.
Coordinator Hubbard replied correct.
Councilmember Nakamura asked staff if the current code states 90 days max.
Coordinator Hubbard replied that was discussed previously, and there was some
concern about the construction timing and length of the project.
Councilmember Lindamood suggested waiving the permit fee, but only during
construction to help the businesses along the corridor. Mayor Newton stated he
would rather alleviate the fee rather than change the code.
City Council Minutes December 20, 2016
City of Colleyville Page 2
Mayor Pro Tem Putnam asked Mayor Newton how often the businesses would have
to reapply. Mayor Newton replied every 30 days.
Councilmember Short asked City Council about the purpose of the signs.
Councilmember Nakamura replied to help people find the businesses during
construction. Mayor Pro Tem Putnam added it will show where the driveways are
located rather than the actual business.
Councilmember Taylor asked staff why the businesses could not go ahead and add
their permanent business signs. Coordinator Hubbard replied most business signs
are already in place, and the temporary signs are meant to be for marketing
purposes. Mayor Pro Tem Putnam stated the code allows these currently.
Councilmember Taylor stated having concerns about it being trashy with signs.
Councilmember Lindamood stated he wants to help the businesses stay in
Colleyville. He stated this is a temporary fix.
Councilmember Short asked staff if the temporary signs would be on private
property. Coordinator Hubbard replied yes.
Councilmember Nakamura agreed about going above and beyond for the
businesses. Mayor Pro Tem Putnam stated he does not know what this will give
them.
Councilmember Short stated there could be a temporary sign along SH26 for every
business. Councilmember Lindamood stated it would be for a short period of time.
Mayor Pro Tem Putnam suggested the businesses should use the existing
ordinance, and we should not make it easier for them to proliferate signs.
Mayor Pro Tem Putnam asked staff what about making the sign portable.
Coordinator Hubbard replied it is not that it cannot be done that way currently, the
code does not state one way or the other about staking the sign or not.
Councilmember Coplen asked City Council if the permit fee is going to be waived
temporarily. Mayor Newton replied it could be. Mayor Pro Tem Putnam replied for
a classified period of time in a specified geography, such as SH26 corridor. Mayor
Newton agreed, and if problems begin to exist, then City Council can revisit this.
Councilmember Taylor suggested Coordinator Hubbard should use good common
sense and know when to come back to City Council with any issues.
WS-2 Discussion and update on the Pleasant Run Road Project
City Council Minutes December 20, 2016
City of Colleyville Page 3
Public Works Director Jeremy Hutt presented this item and answered questions or
the City Council.
Nathan Ante, Kimley Horn, presented this item and answered questions of the City
Council.
Councilmember Lindamood asked Mr. Ante if a hydraulic study has been
completed. Mr. Ante replied a drainage area map has been completed which
indicates the flows.
Councilmember Lindamood asked Mr. Ante if a detention pond is necessary. Mr.
Ante replied some sort of baffle blocks may be necessary.
Mayor Pro Tem Putnam asked Mr. Ante about the 18 inch curb. Mr. Ante pointed
out the location of the ribbon curb on the presentation.
Councilmember Lindamood asked Mr. Ante if the proposed sidewalk is 10 feet in
width. Mr. Ante replied there is a 10 foot sidewalk proposed everywhere except on
the north end, and it then narrows down to 6 foot in width.
Councilmember Lindamood asked Mr. Ante if an eight foot sidewalk width would
provide a better buffer area. Mr. Ante replied the buffer is plenty, and there is
already an eight foot wide sidewalk along some of the roadway.
Councilmember Lindamood asked Mr. Ante if the eight foot sidewalk width will
expand to a 10 foot wide sidewalk. Mr. Ante replied that is a good point, and he
did not believe they would expand the width.
Mayor Newton asked staff about the width of the trail in the park. Parks Manager
Heather Dowell replied part of the park trail is six feet in width and part of it is
eight feet in width.
Councilmember Short asked Mr. Ante if the goal is to get the sidewalk as far away
from the street as possible. Mr. Ante replied he believes the sidewalk can be
meandered as far away as possible; however, the biggest challenge is where the
fence line runs within the right-of-way and a swale exists.
Councilmember Short asked Mr. Ante if the fence is in the public right-of-way. Mr.
Ante replied yes, the fence is in the right-of-way. The sidewalk can be fit, but it
may be up higher than the fence as it currently exists.
Mayor Newton asked Mr. Ante how far is the fence in the right-of-way. Mr. Ante
replied 10 feet or so.
Councilmember Short asked Mr. Ante about the sidewalk on the west side. Mr.
Ante showed where the sidewalk ends on the west side on the exhibit.
City Council Minutes December 20, 2016
City of Colleyville Page 4
Councilmember Short asked City Council about extending the sidewalk all along
the west side. Mayor Newton asked if there is a need for it. Mr. Ante stated right-
of-way is available, and the bar ditches are not as bad.
Mayor Newton asked Mr. Ante if there are any fences in the right-of-way along the
west side. Mr. Ante replied he did not believe so.
Mayor Pro Tem Putnam asked Mr. Ante about the cost of a west side sidewalk. Mr.
Ante replied $250,000-$300,000. Mayor Pro Tem Putnam suggested waiting to
see what the overall project costs are before committing to the sidewalk.
Mayor Newton asked Mr. Ante about the cost of the project without the west side
sidewalk. Mr. Ante replied $4.1 million, and originally the cost was budgeted at
$4.3 million.
Mayor Pro Tem Putnam stated he would support the west side sidewalk if the cost
could be kept within the $250,000-$300,000 cost range. Councilmember Coplen
agreed.
Mayor Pro Tem Putnam stated Phase 3 (LD Lockett to John McCain) of the project
is the worst section, and it should be done the soonest.
Councilmember Taylor asked Mr. Ante if there will be total road closure for
construction, or just one lane. Mr. Ante replied one lane will always be
maintained. Director Hutt clarified that direction would not be changed; if north
bound was established, it would be north bound only for that 12 week period. He
stated the direction would not switch for the morning and evening rush hours.
Mayor Pro Tem Putnam asked staff about the anticipated start date. Director Hutt
provided an estimated project timeline; May 2017 – Final Design Complete; May
2017 – Bidding; June 2017 – Public Meeting; July 2017 – Start Construction;
Spring 2018 – End Construction.
Mayor Newton asked staff about the width of the Cotton Belt Trail. Director Hutt
replied 10 feet.
WS-3 Demonstration of OpenGov, the City's financial transparency portal
Strategic Services Manager Adrienne Lothery presented this item and answered
questions of the City Council.
Councilmember Taylor asked staff if the gold or platinum recognition has gone
away. Manager Lothery replied yes, as a part of the Leadership Circle, getting
stars in each of the categories has replaced the gold or platinum recognition.
City Council Minutes December 20, 2016
City of Colleyville Page 5
Mayor Pro Tem Putnam stated he was less concerned about the recognition and
more about the tool for Colleyville residents to use.
Councilmember Short asked staff if the information is currently on the website,
but hard to find. Manager Lothery replied correct, and the information is updated
weekly because OpenGOV is linked with our financial software, MUNIS.
Councilmember Coplen asked staff if the changes are updated manually or
automatically. Manager Lothery replied it is a live feed and is updated
automatically. This is one of the reasons to use OpenGOV, as it is a little more
turnkey, with not a lot of staff to manage it.
Mayor Newton asked staff if she is currently presenting our data. Manager Lothery
replied yes.
Councilmember Taylor asked staff how much historical data is available. Manager
Lothery replied there is at least three years of historical data.
Councilmember Taylor asked staff if they could go further back and add data.
Manager Lothery replied there is three years of historical data because the finance
system was changed three years ago. She also stated the intent is not to drop off
old data, but to continue to add new data every year.
Mayor Pro Tem Putnam asked staff if internal tools are being evaluated as well.
Manager Lothery replied staff has not looked into any other platforms, at least not
until this platform was launched.
Councilmember Taylor asked staff when this will be available for the public.
Manager Lothery replied that is up to City Council, relative to what features they
want.
Councilmember Nakamura asked staff when the new website would be available.
City Manager Jennifer Fadden replied staff is still working on the website design,
based on comments received from the City Council in September. She stated the
thought was to launch the finance tool during State of the City in January.
Councilmember Taylor asked staff who is “we” for working on the website design.
City Manager Jennifer Fadden replied staff has been working with the Mayor and
the current website vendor. Mayor Newton added they have had a conference call
with a vendor he met at TML to discuss design. He stated having concerns about
the current design.
Councilmember Taylor asked Mayor Newton about the launch, given that they
were already working with a vendor. Mayor Newton stated the design was
presented; however, he held up the launch after staff presented the new website
design in the worksession.
City Council Minutes December 20, 2016
City of Colleyville Page 6
Councilmember Taylor asked Mayor Newton if there will be a change in the
vendor. Mayor Newton replied there is a possibility in a vendor change if we chose
to do that.
Councilmember Taylor asked Mayor Newton about an approximate time to launch
the website. Mayor Newton replied likely during the first quarter of calendar year
2017.
Councilmember Coplen asked staff if there were any questions on the citizen’s
survey relative to new data. Manager Lothery replied no.
Councilmember Nakamura asked staff if anyone will know what the enterprise
fund is. City Manager Jennifer Fadden explained this information is pulled directly
from the financial software. Manager Lothery stated if you click on enterprise
fund, it takes you to the Utility and Drainage Funds.
Mayor Newton asked staff if this is running on their server. Manager Lothery
replied she would have to check.
Councilmember Taylor asked staff if the link has been sent to the City Council.
Manager Lothery replied no, and since it is not live, she can only invite members
as users, which will allow you to look at it in a non-editing mode.
Councilmembers liked having this feature launched at the State of the City event.
WS-4 Discussion of the December 20, 2016, City Council regular agenda items

Committee. (Citizens: Bo Bottger, Lenona Nichols, and Julia Ross). Mayor Newton

needed.

Mayor Newton asked staff about the joint access easement between the two
commercial properties. Director Bryner replied the access is strongly encouraged
specifically for connectivity and safety access.
Mayor Pro Tem Putnam asked staff if they are satisfied with this relative to the
public safety aspect. Director Bryner replied staff has not officially reviewed the
site plan; however, it does appear to satisfy the requirements of the fire lane.
Councilmember Taylor asked staff if the building location, Exhibit C, could be
attached to the ordinance. Director Bryner replied the way to do that would be
through a PUD, but not with a straight zoning request.
Councilmember Taylor stated if the applicant wanted to make changes to the site
plan, they would not have to come back to City Council for approval, because the
site plan is not attached to the zoning ordinance. Director Bryner replied correct,
unless a different zoning district is requested, such as a PUD.
Mayor Newton asked staff if the applicant will have to come back to the City for
platting. Director Bryner replied yes, for the plat through Planning and Zoning
Commission, but there will be no design elements located on the plat.
Olanrewaju Sobo, applicant, came forward to present to the City Council and
answer their questions.
Mayor Newton asked Mr. Sobo if the joint access is something he has discussed
with the adjacent property owner, and what is the status. Mr. Sobo replied as soon
as he met with the neighbors, he met with staff about the location of the building,
especially with the Fire Marshal about the access.
Mayor Newton asked Mr. Sobo if the adjacent property owner would agree to the
easement. Mr. Sobo replied the Fire Marshal stated if two buildings are
commercially zoned, it is an automatic requirement to have this easement.
Mayor Newton asked staff if the adjacent property owner will have to agree to the
easement. Director Bryner replied yes.
Councilmember Taylor asked Mr. Sobo if the new building will be two story. Mr.
Sobo replied yes.
Mayor Newton opened the public hearing at 8:57 p.m.
Kathy Hadley, 204 Timberline Drive North, filled out her speaker card to speak in
opposition to this request; however, she stated being good with the church use,
but asked City Council to be careful about future uses.

6. ORDINANCE(S): FIRST READING AND PUBLIC HEARING
6a Ordinance O-16-2002
Approval of an ordinance repealing Ordinance O-02-1322 and
Ordinance O-13-1896 and amending the Financial Disclosure and
Business Conflict of Interest Forms
Mayor Newton read the caption of Ordinance O-16-2002.
City Secretary Amy Shelley presented this item and briefed the City Council.
Mayor Newton suggested adding “direct or indirect” to the following statement, in
front of “contractual relationship” on Sections 2 or 3. “The name and address of
any person or corporation which currently has or during the preceding twelve (12)
months has had a “direct or indirect” contractual relationship with the City and
from which the person(s), their spouse or dependent minor children have received
a fee, salary, or gift of value exceeding one hundred dollars ($100.00).” He stated
the reasoning is that sometimes you have companies that do not have a direct
relationship, but they have another company that does a subcontract in the first
one as the City, so that is why it would make sense to add that into the form.
Councilmember Short asked Mayor Newton if that is a common definition of
indirect. City Attorney Whitt Wyatt answered that he believes the language would
comply with the City Charter, having both direct and indirect, and it is provided by
state law how that applies, and it does apply in certain circumstances to indirect
relationships. He stated the inclusion of that language would revert it back to state
law, and would provide more clarity.
Councilmember Short stated he wants to ensure the persons filling out the form
understand what an indirect relationship is. Councilmember Taylor stated these
City Council Minutes December 20, 2016
City of Colleyville Page 15
would be known indirect relationships, because you may have an indirect
relationship and not even know it. City Attorney Whitt Wyatt replied the addition of
the language would be a clarity addition as there is no legal imposition of adding it
for clarity. The legal requirement was to be placed on the form to be governed by
the Charter, and there are plenty of circumstances where an indirect relationship
would trigger your reporting on this form under the Charter regardless of whether
or not it states indirect or not on there. He stated adding those on the form to
provide that clarity is okay, but you are still going to get that reporting by law.
