MINUTES OF MEETING -.JUNE 1O, 2002
June 10, 2002 - 1:30 p.m. -East End Conference Room
PRESENT: Members: Gail Manion, Chair; Judy Atwood, and Dulce Moore.
Absent: Deena Dendy, Nancy Jane Langford, Earline Kennedy.
Staff: Tom Niederauer, Sr. Planner.
I. Call to Order and Review of Minutes:
Gail Manion called the meeting to order and the Task Force reviewed the minutes of
the previous three meetings. Atwood moved approval of the minutes of April 25th with
three changes; May 10th with two changes; and May 13th with several changes. The
Task Force agreed to the changes and the motion, and the minutes were adopted.
Manion noted for the minutes that the meeting of May 31St was postponed to June 10tH
because no progress had been made by the staff in contacting the property owners
along Glade Road west.
II. Discussion of City Council contacts:
Judy Atwood reported that she had talked to several City Council members about the
west Glade Road project as the number one priority sidewalk project in the City.
Discussed were the implications to the school (Bransford Elem.), Colleyville Nature
Center and City Park and the overall safety to the area. Council members Hocutt, Rice
and Tigue were made aware of the needs of the project beyond normal budgeted
sidewalk funds. Councilman Hocutt suggested that some of the culvert costs might
come from the drainage budget.
Gail Manion related that she had spoken to the Mayor's Aide, Judy Johnston, and told
her that the Task Force needs a liaison from the City Council. She also spoke to
Councilpersons Richard Newton and Joe Hocutt. Newton agreed that we need the
walk along that part of Glade, and he and Hocutt both were pleased to learn that the
Task Force received a positive response from the property owners.
III. Task Force discussion of priorities:
As an aid to future priority discussions, the Task Force requested that Niederauer
prepare a list of projects which have been previously approved City Council but not
built for some reason. The list can then be used in meetings for discussion of other
priorities. This would also include projects where monies are already encumbered for
the current planning year, but not yet spent, such as the Behrens project.
Glade Road west project -there was discussion about the budget estimates for this
project. The primary items and the very general estimates are:
• Right-of-away purchase = $ 24,000
• Sidewalk construction, landscape and other improvements = $ 28,000
• Culvert installation (estimate) = 20 000
Estimated Total = $ 72,000

III. Task Force discussion of priorities (continued)
Ms. Moore reiterated her belief that Earline Kennedy should get her neighborhood to
the City Council meeting. She also noted that her first priority is the Bogart project.
Ms. Manion mentioned that platting, zoning and the sidewalk for the Behrens tract at
$8,500 and also the purchase of right-of-away from the M. Bone Estate at about
$10,500 are two projects committed from past priorities. This already absorbs about
$19,000 from the budget if they both come through, there will only be about $20,000
left for all of the other projects.
Manion and Atwood agreed that because of such limited funds, the Bogart project
should be a medium to low priority since there is a walk and path at that location now
for students to use.
Atwood questioned why we would spend the money for a retaining wall along Brown
Trail at Cheek-Sparger since this is not even a sidewalk project. Manion explained
that the money has apparently already been committed to finish up the sidewalk
project at this location last year.

IV. Task Force discussion of the Text of City Council Report:
Regarding the text of the City Council report, the Task Force wants to include the
following items:
1) A full explanation, history and budget for completing the west Glade Road project.
In particular pointing out the need for funds from the drainage budget and that it will
be a long term project at least over two sidewalk budget year cycles, if not more.
Also that at least half of the funds are for right-of-away purchase and not sidewalks.
2) Elaborate on how much of the money frequently goes to non-sidewalk costs, such
as right-of-away purchase, surveying, engineering, landscaping and fence
relocation and other items.
3) An explanation about the long term nature of some of the projects and that we wait
on development to occur to stretch the budget, and in some cases building walks
because of urgent need, only to have them torn up and rebuilt a fewyears later, etc.
V. Next Meeting and Adjournment:
• There will be no next meeting since the Task Force has completed their report.
• The meeting was adjourned at 3:30 pm.
