long-term effects of the proposed change to the plan design. The
proposal is to amend the annuity increase benefit or cost of living
adjustment (COLA) for retirees from 70% repeating to 70% ad hoc. Ms.
Welborn introduced Anthony Mills, Regional Manager, Texas Municipal
Retirement System (TMRS) to provide information and answer questions
of the City Council.

City Manager Jennifer Fadden stated the City has partnered with Tarrant
County, Precinct 3 Public Works for roadway rehabilitation improvements
and Tarrant County requested a determination of roadway rehabilitation
needs for inclusion in a Fiscal Year 2011 Interlocal Agreement. Tarrant

rehabilitation improvements and as a result, the County's workload only
permits one project per City.
Staff requested City Council direction regarding the rehabilitation of a
portion of Heritage Avenue, Jackson Road or Brown Trail for County
participation.
Discussion ensued regarding the condition, traffic flow and volume of the
roads.

PC-6 Discussion of the September 7, 2010 City Council meeting regular
agenda items
City Manager Jennifer Fadden stated Consent Agenda item 4f requests
approval to reject all bids for the Colleyville Public Library Second Floor
Expansion Project because all bids exceeded the remaining available
funding for the project and staff is recommending the bids be rejected.
Staff will begin working with the architect to identify items that can be
modified in the bid without significantly impacting the quality of the
project. The project will be rebid and presented to City Council in six to
eight weeks.
Councilmember Wollin stated the plan should be maintained without
decreasing the scope of the project.
Ms. Fadden stated staff will identify items to remove from the bid
specification, which can then be bid as alternates and, if City Council
wishes to allocate additional funding, should the bids come in excess of
the budget, additonal funding may be allocated at that time. This will
delay the bid process six to eight weeks with a project completion date in
February 2011.
City Manager Fadden stated the first reading of the Fiscal Year 2011
budget ordinance is on the agenda and, as a reminder, since the City's
ridership could not be established, staff did not recommend funding for
the Trinity Railway Express (TRE) Interlocal Agreement with the North
City of Colleyville Page 3 Printed on 10/7/2010
City Council City Council Minutes September 7, 2010

very successful sale of the water and sewer bonds, saving over
$242,000 on the refunding and exceeding the projected savings by over
$48,000.

5b 0-10-1766 Authorizing the sale and issuance of $3,260,000 of Water and Sewer
Refunding Bonds, Series 2010 and providing for the redemption of the
obligations being refunded
Mayor Kelly read the caption of Ordinance 0-10-1766.
Assistant City Manager and Chief Financial Officer Terry Leake stated,
today, the City participated in a negotiated sale for the transaction for the
refunding of these bonds and the City's Financial Advisor Jim Sabonis,
First Southwest, will provide the results of the transaction and the recent
results of the bond rating by Fitch and Standard and Poors.
Mr. Sabonis presented the results of the sale of the water and sewer
refunding bonds and stated the bonds were rated "AAA" and "AA+" by
Fitch Ratings and Standard and Poor's, respectively, and answered
questions of the City Council.
Mayor Kelly opened the public hearing.
There was no present wishing to speak and Mayor Kelly closed the
public hearing.
Mr. Sabonis stated refunding bonds is no different than refunding a
home mortgage. Currently, the City has $640,000 of bonds that were
issued in 2002 and $1,470,000 bonds issued in 1998 and $1,190,000
issued in 1996. Those bonds are outstanding and currently have interest
rates of 3.7% to 5.7%. We monitor them and try to understand when
there is an optimal time to refund them. Interest rates have been at a
cyclical low since 1962, we decided to move forward and refund the
bonds. There is no extension of the debt, no change in actual payment
dates or payment timeframe. Eight years are remaining on the bonds
and there will be eight years outstanding, exact payment debts. -The
bottom line is the City has bonds that are above market interest rate and
the City is taking advantage of the City's good credit rating and low
interest rates and refunding them for savings and taking the savings
equally over time, just like refinancing a home.
Mr. Sabonis reported the City is saving $548,000 over the next eight
years.
Mayor Pro Tem Ayers moved to approve Ordinance 0-10-1766.
Councilmember Kelly seconded the motion.

Mr. George Dodson, 7309 Balmoral, spoke in opposition to the proposed

There were no others present wishing to speak and Mayor Kelly closed
the public hearing.
Mayor Kelly requested the City Attorney provide clarification regarding
the City regulating alcohol versus the City regulating land use. There
were some concerns about City Council not being responsible regarding
the regulation of alcohol.
City Attorney Matthew Boyle stated the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code
provides that state law is the only means by which to regulate the sale
of alcoholic beverages including the sale of alcoholic beverages in
package stores. As such, the Special Use Permit (SUP) requirement
was instituted by the City Council in advance of last May's election was
strictly a land use matter. As such, the SUP's before City Council
tonight, and those considered in the future, are before you strictly based
on compatibility and compliance with the Land Development Code
and/or the other land use issues provided for by Chapter 2 of the Local
Government Code and the Land Development Code.
Mayor Kelly asked the City Attorney to address if anyone can make an
application for a certain land use.
City Attorney Boyle stated there is no statutory or ordinance ability to
limit the number of applications for an SUP, including an SUP for a
package store.
Mayor Kelly stated there is some reference that City staff had something
to do with the local option referendum and asked the City Attorney to
City of Colleyville Page 11 Printed on 10/7/2010
City Council
City Council Minutes September 7, 2010
provide information regarding who initiated the referendum and what
involvement the City had in the process.
City Attorney Boyle stated last May's referendum on package liquor
stores was a local option election held pursuant to the Alcoholic
Beverage Code, which was initiated through a citizen petition, which was
filed with the Tarrant County Clerk. The entirety of both the
consideration of and the approval of the petition and calling the election
were all handled by the County all outside, separate and wholly apart
from the City of Colleyville.
City Attorney Boyle stated, in response to a question the City Council
may ask next, it is definitely possible, and it is specifically provided for by
the Alcoholic Beverage Code, that the same means by which the
election was held in May to approve the local option, a corresponding
election to the negative could be held, thereby revoking the approval of
package store sales in the City of Colleyville through the exact same
process.
Mayor Kelly reopened the public hearing to allow a citizen to speak.
Mr. Tim Neuman, 6906 Wandering Way, spoke in opposition to the
proposed ordinance and regarding traffic flow in the residential
neighborhood and the safety of children.
Discussion ensued regarding the criteria the City Council is allowed
under state law to consider the Special Use Permits for package stores,
the City Council's desire and responsibility to protect the quality of life in
the City, allowed uses in the proposed location for the package store and
public safety concerns regarding egress and ingress to the retail building.
Police Chief Steve Dye stated, for this specific land use, I do have some
concerns about traffic patterns, especially the confluence of traffic on
Friday evenings and Saturdays could be a potential issue. There is
currently aright-in and right-out at this location and we experience
violations currently at this intersection and I suggest with that particular
confluence of traffic at peak times on Friday evenings and Saturdays,
that could cause potential problems, I also have public safety concerns
regarding the adjacent neighborhood and park nearby. I believe there
would be cut-through traffic on Longwood Drive, as a result of the
lengthy traffic light cycle, which could impact the Ross Downs
neighborhood.
Community Development Director Ron Ruthven stated, in response to a
question regarding the calculation of traffic volume, the gas station and
convenience store data is being used to determine traffic impact due to
Colleyville being the only city in the area with package stores; therefore,

There were no others present wishing to speak concerning this item and
Mayor Kelly closed the public hearing.
Mayor Kelly spoke regarding the permitted uses for ML-Light
Manufacturing zoning and the CC1 zoning and stated permitted uses
provides for the business to open without City Council approval and
asked the City Attorney if the City Council approves the applicant's
request for zoning, will those uses still be permitted should the operation
fail.
City Attorney Matthew Boyle stated if the application is approved, the
underlined zoning will be changed from ML to CC1 and, as such, the
available uses would only be those allowed in the CC District, and the
ML uses would no longer be allowed as a matter right.
Discussion ensued regarding the location of the dumpster, significance
and impact of adrive-through window on sales and business partners.
Mayor Pro Tem Ayers asked the City Attorney, if we give the applicant
an upzone from ML -Light Manufacturing to CC1, which is the first step
in the process, but then go beyond that, and give the applicant a Special
Use Permit (SUP) for the package store; as I understand it, if the City
Council approves the SUP for the applicant's package store, by right, the
applicant receives the liquor distribution warehouse. Is this correct, City
Attorney?
City Attorney Boyle stated, the short answer is yes, but you need a
longer explanation, and the longer answer is by law, once the package
store local option election was approved, the operators are entitled to
sell liquor in Colleyville, save and except they are obligated to comply
with local regulations. In this case, the local regulations, require the right
zoning and the right zoning includes a SUP, so once you get A and B,
then as a package store licensee, you are entitled to sell liquor both on
the retail level and at the wholesale level. That distinction and that
City of Colleyville Page 17 Printed on 10/7/2010

entitlement is exclusively regulated at and by the state.

Adoption of the proposed Fiscal Year 2011 (FY 2011) budget
Mayor Kelly read the caption of Ordinance 0-10-1770.
City Manager Jennifer Fadden stated the Fiscal Year 2011 budget has
been developed to balance the needs of the City in concert with the
willingness of its taxpayers to pay for those services. The strategy
employed to prepare this budget has been quite different from that of
previous years. The reality of the "new normal" including the ongoing
national recession, rising costs of service delivery, and the approaching
build-out of our community, has influenced resource allocation in ways
rarely experienced during the previous decade, and now necessitates
consideration of a permanent change in funding appropriation.
Therefore, staff considered a number of factors to shape the service
delivery plan for Fiscal Year 2011, including: Colleyville's life cycle as a
community; resource prioritization based on community and City Council
input; future sustainability of budget; implementation of program-based
budgeting; and implementation of funding for the strategic plan. With
this budget, staff is recommending allocating resources according to the
priorities of our citizens and City Council, while maintaining the
conservative fiscal approach that has allowed Colleyville to attain and
maintain a AAA bond rating. The service delivery plan maintains the
City of Colleyville Page 18 Printed on 10/7/2010
City Council
City Council Minutes September 7, 2010
programs and services identified by our citizens as priorities, without an
increase to the city's tax rate and with minimal impact to our citizens. It
also funds all debt requirements and provides adequate debt service
fund balances. It does not include any salary adjustments for employees
and cost for employee health insurance and pension obligations have
been reduced in this proposed budget. While the proposed budget does
not fund all existing service levels, it meets the City Council's priorities
for service delivery and maintains the current tax rate. The proposed
budget has been formulated by reflecting on a philosophy of: providing
solid, high-quality, core governmental services; effectively allocating
resources to meet citizen needs; affordability and sustainability; pursuing
opportunities to partner with other public providers; and attracting and
retaining quality employees. The proposed budget is balanced and in
accordance with state law, City Charter and ordinances. The combined
proposed expenditures and transfers total $35,334,456, which is a
$2,098,585 decrease from the current year budget.
Mayor Kelly opened the public hearing.
There was no one present wishing to speak concerning this item and
Mayor Kelly closed the public hearing.
Councilmember Muhm asked what the long-term financial challenges will
be for the City in the future.
City Manager Fadden stated, what we look at in the long-term
sustainability of the budget primarily is driven by the fact that our
community is 85% built-out, and we cannot expect or rely on future
development revenue and increases in property values the way we once
did over the last decade. We worked to design the budget to insure that
we had a reasonable and practical approach to projecting those
revenues into the future. As the City Council will recall, at one of the first
budget worksessions, we updated the ten year financial forecast and
presented that to the City Council for consideration. In that ten year
financial forecast, we amended down some of our revenue projections
due to what we were seeing in terms of trends, property evaluations,
sales tax and interest earnings, which are all large drivers to the revenue
side of the budget. On the expenditure side of the budget, we took the
very pragmatic approach to expenditure appropriation, funding first and
foremost those priorities that are most important to our citizens, to the
City Council and including public safety, street maintenance, parks and
recreation, economic development and reducing the budget in areas
where we felt those services were not as high a priority to the community
based on citizen input through a citizen survey and City Council input as
we were developing the budget process this year. We will continue to
refine that as we go into each years budget to make sure we have the
appropriate balance in terms of the resources that are available to us
-------
City of Colleyville Page 19 Printed on 10/7/2010
City Council City Council Minutes September 7, 2010
and our citizen's willingness to provide those resources to us on a
long-term basis.
Mayor Kelly stated the City is projecting the General Fund at $7.5 million,
which is 154 days of operating funds and in the Utility Fund, a little over
$5 million, which is 162 days of operating funds.
Mayor Kelly commended staff for excellent fiscal management.
6e 0-10-1771 Adoption of the Ad Valorem Tax Rate for Fiscal Year 2011 (FY 2011)
Mayor Kelly read the caption of Ordinance 0-10-1771.
Assistant City Manager and Chief Financial Officer Terry Leake stated
the Texas Property Tax Code requires taxing units to comply with
"Truth-in-Taxation" laws in setting tax rates, and it also requires that they
perform an effective tax rate calculation. What the effective tax rate
calculation does is calculate the amount of revenue, that after property
assessments are done, it will raise the exact same rate as the revenue
that was raised the year before for that existing property. The City of
Colleyville did calculate the tax rate for FY 2011 and that effective tax
rate was $.372887. This rate is higher than the proposed tax rate is for
the current year budget. The proposed tax rate is $.3559. It is the same
rate that the taxes were in FY 2010 and this is the fourth year the tax
rate is $.3559. The City, in compliance with the Texas Property Tax
Code, published the Notice of Effective Tax Rate on Wednesday,
August 11, 2010, in the Fort Worth Star Telegram. Also, to inform the
citizens of Colleyville of the proposed FY 2011 tax rate, the City Council
adopted Resolution R-10-3258, reflecting their intention to adopt a tax
rate of $.3559 at a public hearing on August 17, 2010. Additionally, the
residential value in Colleyville slightly decreased from FY 2010 to FY
2011; it went from $398,957 to $397,472. This would equate to an
annual property tax decrease of $5.29 on an annual basis. And, just as a
point of reference, one of the things the effective tax rate calculation
does, is set the interest and sinking rate, which is used to pay for the
City's bonded debt at $.05832. The remainder of the tax rate will be
allocated to operations and maintenance, which is commonly know as
the General Fund rate.
Mayor Kelly opened the public hearing.
There was no one present wishing to speak and Mayor Kelly closed the
public hearing.
Mayor Kelly stated the important part, according to the Truth in Taxation
laws, we could have had an effective tax rate of $.372887 that would
City of Colleyville Page 20 Printed on 10/7/2010
City Council City Council Minutes September 7, 2010
have raised the same revenue as last year. But we chose to maintain it
at $.3559, which is reduced revenue and we made up that difference
through some cost savings. The City has not raised the tax rate on the
general side for 16 years due to increased property valuations. In 2005,
we had a small raise on the debt side for the fire station, which was a
voter approved bond issue.
6f 0-10-1772 Adoption of the Colleyville Economic Development Corporation Fiscal
Year 2011 (FY 2011) Budget
Mayor Kelly read the caption of Ordinance 0-10-1772.
Assistant City Manager and Chief Financial Officer Terry Leake stated
the Colleyville Economic Development Corporation (CEDC) Corporate
bylaws require the Board of Directors adopt an annual budget for the
CEDC. This budget must also be approved and adopted by the City
Council. The CEDC Board adopted the CEDC budget at the annual
board meeting held August 24, 2010. Ms. Leake reviewed the capital
and operating budget items and stated the recently renovated Colleyville
Center project funds initially came from the Colleyville Tomorrow Fund
and with an interfund loan to the CEDC, which was one of the original
funding sources for the Colleyville Center, this loan will be repaid over a
four-year period. Ms. Leake further stated the budget utilizes $922,476
in available cash balance, with the projected ending Fiscal Year 2010
Fund Balance being $2,007,114:

Fund and transfer unspent budget appropriations to establish a Strategic
Initiatives Fund
Mayor Kelly read the caption of Ordinance 0-10-1774.
Assistant City Manager and Chief Financial Officer Terry Leake stated
this budget amendment includes two items. We have had some savings
in the street rehabilitation and resurfacing projects and that will be
transferred to the Capital Projects Fund. We have actually done this
over the past few fiscal years. Another item included in this amendment,
allows that a difference in revenues over expenditures, up to $50,000
would be transferred to establish the Strategic Initiatives Fund. Staff will
recommend guidelines for distribution of the funds, which will be
