WS-1 Discussion of an entrepreneur center Mayor Newton introduced Maria Meyers, University of Missouri Kansas City Innovation Center, stating she is an expert in the field of entrepreneurialism and he asked her to share her experience on what factors contribute to the success of entrepreneur centers, and how such a center might be worth consideration in Colleyville. Mrs. Meyers provided information on trends, economic development, data collection, steps in building infrastructure, networks, resources, and planning, and answered questions of the City Council. Mayor Newton asked City Council if based on the presentation, is this a viable path to follow to consider establishing an entrepreneurial center at the vacant Wachovia Bank building on SH26 and involve the Chamber of Commerce. The Colleyville Chamber of Commerce Board Chair, President, and several members of the Board were present. Mayor Newton asked them their opinion of the entrepreneurial center concept. They all spoke enthusiastically about the concept and said it should be pursued. Following discussion of how to collect data, finances, cooperation with other organizations, and value, the City Council agreed to meet jointly with the Colleyville Chamber of Commerce in June 2019, to discuss a plan going forward.

EXECUTIVE SESSION READING AND PUBLIC HEARING: CONSIDER AND TAKE ANY ACTION(S) NECESSARY RELATIVE TO ITEMS DISCUSSED IN EXECUTIVE SESSION - RESOLUTION R-19-4368 This resolution was not needed. 3. ANNOUNCEMENTS, PROCLAMATIONS, AND PRESENTATIONS Announcements of civic and charitable events Presentation of calendar events and updates Announcements of awards and recognition The City Manager, Mayor, and Councilmembers made the following announcements: New ISO Rating: The City has been advised our ISO rating will officially be updated to a 2. The fire department, with the assistance of Public Works Director Ray Silva-Reyes and Assistant City Manager Mark Wood began the process of obtaining an updated Insurance Service Office (ISO) Public Protection Classification (PPC) rating, in November 2018. ISO is a private company that collects information about municipal fire protection efforts in communities throughout the United States, assigns ratings from 1 (best) – 10 (worst), and reports this information to insurance companies. Generally speaking, the lower the ISO rating, the more favorable homeowner’s insurance rates will be for a community. Until the updated rating, the City has an ISO 4 rating; a new rating has not been sought since the mid-1990s. Since that time, Colleyville’s infrastructure and firefighting capabilities have vastly improved. The City made obtaining a re-grade a top priority in an effort to provide its residents with an opportunity to save money on homeowner’s insurance rates. ISO evaluates four primary categories of fire suppression – fire department, emergency communications, water supply, and community risk reduction. Over the last several months, the Fire Department and Public Works staff have compiled voluminous data to demonstrate to ISO its high-quality, superior firefighting efforts. Governor Property Tax Reduction – We have stated several times in the past that this entire council supports Governor Abbott's 2.5% property tax reduction initiative. We have said that we modeled the impact of the cap on Colleyville's finance over several years to insure it didn't affect Colleyville negatively, and it doesn't – we came in under the cap every year we analyzed. However, it dawned on me we had never described how the 2.5% cap is actually computed. This is important otherwise you could easily come to an incorrect conclusion in looking at raw revenue numbers. City Council Minutes April 2, 2019 City of Colleyville Page 4 The 2.5% cap is not computed based on total tax revenue, it only applies to the M&O tax - NOT the I&S tax revenue, or tax revenue generated by new property growth. In addition, tax rates are computed based on the budget estimates of M&O tax revenue at the beginning of the FY. It is not computed on end of year actual revenue. Actual end of year revenues are always higher than budgeted revenues, and computing percentage change from year to year using actual revenues are higher than 2.5%. This is true for a couple of reasons: EOY actual tax revenue in the CAFER includes I&S revenue and new growth. I&S actual revenue is anywhere from 12% to 19% higher than budgeted I&S revenue because of the way the state laws work. Any analysis that does not take these factors into account is incorrect and misleading. Also, it is great that our actual revenue is greater than the revenue estimated at the beginning of the year since this represents new revenue to the city not anticipated. So we lower tax rates, budget conservatively, and always have excess revenue. This has been true from 2016 to 2019. It was not true in 2013, 2014 and 2015. In those years there were actually deficits ranging from $864,000 to $1.3 million. So my take away is that the new financial strategy initiated in 2016 is working exceedingly well. Colleyville Farmers Market Returns April 4: The Colleyville Farmers Market returns April 4 with new hours and at a new location. The market will be located outside of the Colleyville Center, at 5301 Riverwalk Drive. The weekly market will be held on Thursdays from 3-7 p.m. Movies in the Village Ralph Breaks the Internet: Friday, April 5 for Movies in the Village.

Spring Safety Tips: As temperatures increase over the next several weeks, the Colleyville Police Department would like to remind you of a few safety tips that are great for keeping your own home and family safe this spring: City Council Minutes April 2, 2019 City of Colleyville Page 5 Meet Your Neighbors - Let a trusted neighbor know if you are planning to travel this spring. Neighbors who know each other look out for each other. Call us and let us know as well and we will send an officer by every shift to check on your house. Lock Doors and Windows - Always keep your home's doors and windows locked when you go to bed or leave your house, even if you are leaving for a short period. Never Leave Anything Out in Plain Sight - Always remember to close your car windows, take any valuables out of your car, and lock your doors every time you exit your vehicle, even if your vehicle is parked in your driveway. Vehicle burglaries occur typically from unlocked cars or from cars where purses, bags, or electronics are visible from the street. We need your help to HIDE your things, LOCK your car, and TAKE your keys. Colleyville Woman's Club Event: The Colleyville Woman's Club invites you to its 34th annual Fashion Benefit Luncheon, Lunch with the Girlz, on Friday, April 12, 2019 at the Hurst Conference Center.

CWC again welcomes Jan Strimple Productions as fashion show producer and Louis Murad, president of Murad Auctions, as event emcee and auctioneer. Beautification Effort Continues: This week the Parks Department installed the new flower pots at Main Street. This effort came about when working with the Village Owners' Association on the replacement of older pots that had become mismatched and damaged over the years. The new pots are located at the intersections of Main and Village Lane; and Main and Pleasant Run. The pot design is in keeping with the proposed improvements coming to City Plaza this summer. Next week, the pots will be planted with seasonal flowers.

ITEMS NOT FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION 5a TxDOT update on SH26 This item was not discussed. 5b Discussion of the Colleyville Pedestrian Transportation Program (CPTP) Assistant City Manager Mark Wood presented this item, reviewing the history of the previous sidewalk policy and the new policy which was adopted via Resolution R-18-4282. Manger Wood explained sidewalks should be installed or cash-in-lieu payment made when there is new development/new road with sidewalks on both sides, the exception is a single loaded residential roadway; new development adjacent to existing road as required by Master Thoroughfare Plan or Supplemental Sidewalk System Map; existing development/single family home required by Master Thoroughfare Plan, Supplemental Sidewalk System Map, 300’ of frontage, or on a street with 50% or more existing sidewalks; or non-local street frontage – sidewalks required. Manager Wood also covered the design standards; waiver/variance, and remediation processes. City Council Minutes April 2, 2019 City of Colleyville Page 7 Manager Wood explained the trail system, noting “Implement Trail Plan” was identified as a top Citywide project which stemmed from the public process of the Parks Master Plan which the City Council, Parks and Recreation Advisory Board, and staff developed last year. He further stated the Trail Plan provides a multi- year strategy to design and construct trails to improve connectivity to parks, regional trails, schools, and commercial areas, and staff is identifying a priority projects list and working to secure funding. Manger Wood stated pursuit of grants for sidewalks and trails is a priority for Public Works, Engineering, and Parks and Recreation departments and over $6 million of grants have been applied for this year. Mayor Newton stated the new sidewalk policy was issued by a citizen committee which this Council appointed in 2017. He noted the significant flaw in the previous policy was the map was disconnected from the police; however the new policy reconnects the map. Mayor Newton noted the map needs to be updated and there are plans to reestablish a citizen committee to look into this in the future. 6.
