I. Adoption of minutes.
Gail Manion's notes of the meeting of February 9, 2001 were reviewed.
II. Staff reports: (Gail Manion's Notes -- April 20, 2001)
Misce//aneous Reports:
Keith reported that doing walks along Bluebonnet from Hall Johnson to Kings wood
would cost approximately $125,000. He had stated in a previous meeting that he would
try to do some of it with any Hall Johnson contingency money that is available, but
clarified that right now it's not looking like a strong possibility.
The construction project at Glade and Thompson Terrace area is not far along enough
yet to do walks or know exactly where they will be built in conjunction with the project.
Regarding the Bone property, Tom will contact Arnold and Charlotte Del Hierro, the
Bone property spokespersons, about a sidewalk going from Bluebonnet west across
their property.
Keith reported that there is a possibility of several hundred thousand dollars available
for intermodal transportation through a grant from the Council of Governments (COG).
It would be federal money and some of our trails & walks may qualify. He goes to
another meeting about it on April 30th. Mike Sims and Dianne McWethy are contact
people about it.
Troy Gray met with Charlie Behrens again. There are still zoning issues. They will
continue to pursue a sidewalk easement or right of way purchase.
Jim Moore expressed his opinion against improving the Riverwalk commercial area,
which will spend taxpayer money to improve their property. Tom will contact the
developer, David Hannah to see if he would be agreeable to paying for and building
the walks. He doesn't have to plat it until it is being developed.
The Task Force looked at the Kingswood original escrow agreement and breakdown
and nothing is specified for sidewalks. Tom will get the neighborhood association
president's number to Gail. Sandlin was the developer. Keith will check and see if
sidewalks are lumped in with the concrete figures. The escrow date 1993 was after the
sidewalk ordinance was passed, so there should have been sidewalk funds included.
The short piece by Albertson's shopping center had no escrow money for sidewalks (it
was before the ordinance). We all agreed it should be one of our projects for this year.

Minutes 4-20-01
Pleasant Run -Surveys have already been done on both sides of the street, from north
of Bogart to the soccer fields. There are drainage and right of way issues. It will be a
big, expensive project.
South of Bogart, walks currently go to Colleyville Terrace. The TIF agreement is still
unclear about the walks generated from the Villages project, so we will wait on that
part.
Middle School boundary realignment recently changed. Tinker is now the northern
boundary for CMS. That makes the section of Pleasant Run from Cooks Lane to Tinker
a higher priority than the entire road.
Hardage to Schools -The highest priority of all projects is still Hardage Road to
Colleyville Elementary and Middle Schools. We want to keep this on all our lists, even
though there is no immediate prospect for resolving the right of way issues.
Cotton Belt -From Bettinger the John McCain, the contract should be going out this fall.
The city will be applying for a T-21 Grant for the section from McCain at the railroad,
going along Hwy 26 to west of Brumlow where the Grapevine Trail ends. This will be
built later in conjunction with the road and bridge widening.
The city is applying for a Grant for the trail from the Colleyville Nature Center to
Sparger Park.
Bedford Road/ Lakes of Somerset -Keith will look at the file on history of surveys and
estimates done there.
Tom will check with absent persons to see if May 11th would work for our next meeting.
III. Next Meeting:
• The next meeting was set for May 11th at 9:00 in the East Conference Rm.
V. Adjournment:
