City Council Minutes September 18, 2018
City of Colleyville Page 6
special revenue fund and does not have an annually appropriated budget. As
such, the fund balance is appropriated or authorized by City Council for
expenditure on an as needed basis, which is somewhat different from the normal
City funds. Mayor Newton and City Manager Jerry Ducay both commented that our
policy is not to carry unspent money forward into a new fiscal year without a new
appropriation in the new fiscal year and there is no reason we can’t do this for the
Voluntary Library Fund.

worksessions were conducted. He noted for the public, there have been lengthy
discussions and review and he did not want anyone to think the CIP was being
adopted too quickly.
Mayor Newton opened the public hearing at 8:27 p.m.
Kathy Hadley, 204 N. Timberline, spoke in opposition of item 4i, with concerns for
traffic speed, tree removal, Colleyville’s character, Cheek-Sparger Road being used

consistent with FY2017. He also noted drainage revenue is $50,000 over
expenditures and the Street Sweeper has been purchased.

Adoption of the proposed Fiscal Year 2019 budget
Mayor Newton read the caption of Ordinance O-18-2059.
Assistant City Manager Adrienne Lothery presented this item, stating there is not
any additional information to present, however, it is worth repeating this is a
balanced budget and the General Fund revenues projected for FY 2019 were
exactly the same as for FY 2018, allowing the City Council to approve an effective
tax rate, which is very hard to do.
Mayor Newton stated work on the budget began over a year ago and there were
many worksessions conducted leading up to this final adoption. Mayor Newton
noted when the Council began developing a strategy to prepare for an effective tax
rate, over $1 million dollars had to be saved. He thanked staff for their great work
in streamlining processes to save money and accomplishing this goal. Mayor
Newton stated it is important to note Colleyville did not go into austerity mode to
accomplish this objective and there have been increases in service levels.

6c Ordinance O-18-2060
Adoption of the Ad Valorem Tax Rate for Fiscal Year 2019
Mayor Newton read the caption of Ordinance O-18-2060.
Assistant City Manager Adrienne Lothery presented this item, advising she is
aware of only one other city which has achieved an effective tax rate. She stated
Colleyville’s focus is on the tax needed to reach its service goals, rather than tax
rate.
Mayor Newton stated while the overall tax bill is $2.34 per $100 of valuation, the
City receives only $0.33, and the City is working diligently to be efficient and
effective in how it spends tax revenue to accomplish City service objectives.
Councilmember Dodson noted the effective tax rate provides the same revenue as
last year, however, individuals may see a small change in the amount of tax they
pay depending on how much their specific property value increased relative to the
average property value increase.
Mayor Newton stated it is Council’s strategy and policy to set an effective tax rate
whenever possible, and that may not always be possible. However, if not, the
Council should always be able to explain to citizens the amount of additional ad
valorem revenue they are raising over the previous year with the new tax rate,
what it will be spent for, and why it is a priority.
Mayor Newton opened the public hearing at 9:19 p.m. There was no one present
wishing to speak and Mayor Newton closed the public hearing at 9:19 p.m.
Councilmember Callie Rigney made a motion to approve Ordinance O-18-
2060 and Mayor Pro Tem Lindamood seconded the motion.

Kelley and Callie Rigney.
6d Ordinance O-18-2061
An ordinance amending Section 3 - Service Charges of the Water and
Sewer Policy and Procedure Manual as contained in the Code of
Ordinances, to implement updated base rates
Mayor Newton read the caption of Ordinance O-18-2061.
Assistant City Manager Mark Wood presented this item noting that the base rate
for water and waste water, which funds Colleyville’s operation of those systems
City Council Minutes September 18, 2018
City of Colleyville Page 10
was actually being decreased as Colleyville’s costs have gone down. The difference
in the new rate and the old rate is being applied to the Utility Capital Improvement
Fund, resulting in the same rate for 99% of Colleyville residents as last year. He
also pointed out the City funds all capital improvements with cash and has a fully
funded five year capital improvement plan.
Mayor Newton stated the City Council and staff is following the strategy laid out by
the Water and Wastewater Advisory Committee.
City Manager Ducay noted the five-year CIP is being funded without debt and the
current funding is for years six and seven.

7a Resolution R-18-4306
Approving a negotiated settlement between the Atmos Cities Steering
Committee and Atmos Energy Corp. Mid-Tex Division regarding the
Company's 2018 Rate Review Mechanism Filings and adopting tariffs
reflecting rate adjustments consistent with the negotiated settlement
Mayor Newton read Resolution R-18-4306 in its entirety.
Assistant City Manager Adrienne Lothery presented this item and briefed the City
Council. Manager Lothery highlighted the review and findings of the Atmos Cities
Steering Committee (ACSC) and noted Atmos reduced its rates in March of this
year as the ACSC demanded Atmos reflect reduced federal income taxes in its
cost-of-service, as reflected in the RRM Tariff which was adopted in early 2018.
This rate increase is largely offset by the lowered federal income tax rates, such
that out-of-pocket expense to consumers should be roughly the same under new
rates as what was experienced by consumers last winter.
City Council Minutes September 18, 2018
City of Colleyville Page 11
Mayor Newton asked Manager Lothery if the Resolution was still binding for rates
to be effective October 1, 2018, as the Exhibits A and B, attached to the
