WS-1 Overview of CWD transition communication plan
Strategic Services Manager Adrienne Lothery presented this item and briefed the
City Council. CWD representatives Nicole Roemer and Jason Roemer were
available to answer questions.
Mayor Newton questioned the November dates for placing information in the
Communicator as service begins with CWD on November 1. Interim Assistant City
Manager and Executive Director of Economic Development and Communications
Mark Wood stated the November issue will contain less time sensitive information
and will highlight new services available from the vendor.
WS-2 Discussion and update on Colleyville's website design
Interim Assistant City Manager and Executive Director of Economic Development
and Communications Mark Wood presented this item and briefed the City Council.
Councilmember Dodson stated the two elements would have to be built first and
the rest of the information could be added later. Director Wood concurred.
Councilmember Dodson asked if adding the custom pages later will cause a lag in
City Council Minutes August 15, 2017
City of Colleyville Page 2
launch time and if there will be time to test the website before roll out. Director
Wood replied the vendor believes the timeframe will be January 2018.
Councilmember Nakamura asked Mayor Newton why the City needs two custom
pages and do we know how many hits the Library and Parks and Recreation pages
receive. Mayor Newton replied he and Councilmember Dodson reviewed the
Pflugerville site and talked with the representative, and it is their opinion the
custom pages will provide consistency throughout the City.
Councilmember Nakamura asked why the cost is so high. Mayor Newton said the
costs increased because City Council requested the redesign outside of the initial
contract.
Mayor Pro Tem Lindamood asked if we did not move forward with the elements
and design as presented, will we have a website which mirrors our current site.
Mayor Newton said no, City Council has already reviewed what was proposed for
the website and provided direction regarding redesign, and this request is a result
of the initial direction; however, there will be more work to be done by staff and
the vendor.
Councilmember Taylor said he is in favor of consistency and would like to move
forward to get the project finished.
Councilmember Nakamura asked Mayor Newton if the consultant is making
suggestions relative to design along the way. Mayor Newton responded the
vendor provided the engineering, but did not interact with the graphics side, but
now, with City Council and staff input, everything is coming together.
Mayor Newton asked City Council if they wish to move forward with the design as
presented. All concurred. Councilmember Taylor asked the City Manager to work
to ensure as this project moves forward, the City branding is consistent
throughout.
City Manager Jerry Ducay added staff will bring back a recommendation in
November or December for integration into the pages. Mayor Newton agreed and
added as the schedule permits, City Council would like to see the drafts as they
more forward. Director Wood concurred.
WS-3 Discussion of naming the ponds at the Nature Center
Parks Manager Heather Dowell presented this item and briefed the City Council.
The City Council thanked the Friends of the Nature Center for taking on this
project and directed staff to move forward. Manager Dowell stated a formal
resolution with mapping will be brought before the City Council at a future date.
City Council Minutes August 15, 2017
City of Colleyville Page 3
Manager Dowell said the Friends of the Nature Center are not aware of this,
however, she recently had to have some dead trees removed from the Nature
Center and she has sent them to an urban miller, to have them reused to create
signs for the ponds.
WS-4 Discussion of the Trinity Railway Express Funding Program
Assistant to the City Manager James Hubbard presented this item and briefed the
City Council.
Mayor Newton stated there was a ridership survey conducted several years ago
and there were only five riders from Colleyville.
Mayor and City Council agreed there is no direct value to Colleyville residents
therefore there is no reason to fund the TRE.
WS-5 Discussion of the Colleyville Community Gardens
Mayor Richard Newton presented this item. Mayor Newton stated he asked for
this item to be on the agenda because there is currently a resolution before the
City Council. Mayor Newton stated the group, Colleyville Community Garden
(CCG), had impressed him with the presentation they gave to the City Council and
he feels the citizens want a community garden. Mayor Newton spoke with North
Richland Hills Mayor Pro Tem Scott Turnage who was a champion of the successful
North Richland Hills Community Garden and Vickie Loftice, North Richland Hills
Managing Director of Community Services, who oversees the community garden.
Mayor Newton asked North Richland Hills how their community garden is
structured, primarily because when the CCG lease agreement was created, the
agreement called for the CCG to provide liability insurance and CCG was
concerned about costs. Mayor Newton explained the North Richland Hills
community garden is on property owned by a church, but the City of North
Richland Hills leases the property and insures it under their park inventory. The
City of North Richland Hills then established a citizens committee, which would be
the equivalent of the group Natalie Genco and the others are proposing for
Colleyville, which they oversee. One of the conditions of the city of North Richland
Hills leasing the property from the church, is the church has a food bank and food
must be donated to the food bank. Additionally, Mayor Newton said the city of
North Richland Hills did say the city has done more work than they had
anticipated, but the program is successful.
Mayor Newton stated he is a proponent of this project, but it needs to be done well
and be run by citizens or it will need to go away, and this is why he has asked for
this item to be on the agenda, so it can be further discussed.
City Council Minutes August 15, 2017
City of Colleyville Page 4
Mayor Newton asked City Attorney Whitt Wyatt if he is familiar how a community
garden is run in other cities which his firm represents.
Mayor Newton noted Natalie Genco and Rich Hendler were present and would be
available to answer questions.
Councilmember Taylor stated he has a concern, which may be a point of order,
and asked why this item is being discussed in a worksession when this is a tabled
item on the posted agenda. Citizens are expecting this to be discussed under a
public hearing, not in a worksession, which does not allow the public to participate,
and this is the third or fourth worksession where this has been discussed.
Mayor Newton said his recommendation will be to leave the item tabled and he
was hopeful this discussion would allow the CCG to move forward in a direction
provided by the City Council, after all the questions are answered, and then the
item could be disposed of.
Councilmember Nakamura asked Mayor Newton if City Council is breaking a law.
Mayor Newton said no, and he accepts Councilmember Taylor’s concern, but this is
just a break in procedure and he accepts the input.
Councilmember Taylor stated he does not recall this ever being done and asked it
be noted as a point of order. Mayor Newton so noted.
Councilmember Wheat asked Mayor Newton where we are with the liability
insurance. Mayor Newton replied, this is a question. One structure is we require
CCG to be a separate entity, under contract to the City, and be required to provide
the insurance or the City appoint a community garden committee and the City
provide the insurance. Councilmember Wheat said she believes it seems cleaner
to have the City establish a committee and provide the coverage.
City Manager Ducay agreed and noted if the CCG was a separate entity operating
on City property and litigation arose, the City would be named and would be asked
if it was going to intercede on their behalf, so if it is covered under the City
umbrella, there is only one defense.
Councilmember Dodson asked Mayor Newton what costs the City is going to be
responsible for. Mayor Newton replied, initially the City was going to be
responsible for the irrigation and water.
Councilmember Nakamura asked if there are any other costs to the City. Mayor
Newton asked Director Dowell to respond. Director Dowell stated her
understanding of the direction provided by City Council was the City was not
maintaining the garden, but the City would provide the land, installation of the
irrigation system, and pay for the water.
City Council Minutes August 15, 2017
City of Colleyville Page 5
Mayor Pro Tem Lindamood asked Natalie Genco if the group has sponsors and
funding. Mrs. Genco replied they do have sponsorship and volunteers, but
everyone is waiting until they receive a decision from the City to move forward.
Councilmember Wheat asked Mrs. Genco if we moved forward and established this
group as a City board, how would fund raising work. Mrs. Genco responded North
Richland Hills established a separate 501(c)3 which can solicit and accept funding.
City Manager Ducay concurred.
Mayor Pro Tem Lindamood stated he feels this is a good community and family
building activity and he supports the effort.
Mayor Newton stated, based on everything discussed, his thought would be to
remove the resolution from the agenda this evening and then move forward with
the creation of a resolution at a later date.
Rich Hendler stated he would support the community garden as long as it was not
burdensome to City staff and suggested a two year trial effort.
Mayor Newton thanked everyone for the discussion.

Mayor Newton stated there was a great deal of discussion regarding this item at
the last meeting and since that time he met Mr. Mitchell at his property but, the
facts still remain the same. This area is comprised mainly of estate lots and the
City Council has consistently denied R-30 requests.
Councilmember Taylor asked Mr. Mitchell what the hardship is. Mr. Mitchell
responded when he purchased the property in 2011, the survey stated it was 2.02
acres which meant at that time he could subdivide the land.
Councilmember Taylor noted the City purchased a portion Mr. Mitchell’s property.
Mr. Mitchell stated the purchase ended up in eminent domain because he felt the
purchase price was too low. Councilmember Taylor reiterated the City made a
lawful purchase.
Councilmember Nakamura asked Mr. Mitchell if an appraisal was done. Mr.
Mitchell replied yes, but the appraisal was very low.
Mayor Newton stated one decision in the City does not affect the entire City,
however, continual decisions do. He further stated his decision tonight is based on
the facts now and not on previous decisions.
City Council Minutes August 15, 2017

City purchased the property, and he believes there are other options such as
adding on to the home.
Councilmember Taylor made a motion to deny Ordinance O-17-2021.

The motion to deny carried with the following vote:
