Council directed staff to bring the item forward for consideration after additional

Glade Road, feeding northbound onto Roberts Road. Based on the traffic study

The event included a visit from Santa, games, zip lining, petting zoo, reindeer,
pony rides, food trucks, and multiple family activities. The highlight of the evening

Red Kettle Thank You: Thanks to all who volunteered Saturday to take part in
the Mayor’s Red Kettle Challenge on behalf of the Salvation Army. Twenty-four
volunteers worked three locations (Walmart, Market Street & Albertsons) from 10
am to 7 pm. We rang the bell and collected $6,000 in donations for this
exceptional cause. As expected, Colleyville residents were friendly and generous
throughout the day. The outpouring of love and support from Colleyville is
amazing.
Sales Tax Receipts Start FY Year Strong: Fiscal Year 2020 is starting off on a
positive note. Collections for our first month of the fiscal year ($490,253) showed
an increase of 8.6% from last October ($451,595), and almost 15% higher than
our budgeted trajectory ($426,000). Furthermore, our receipts are currently well
ahead of what we saw in the previous five years. This growth was not unique to
Colleyville. Cities in our area as well as DFW and Texas as a whole all saw varying
increases. While it is too early to tell if this is going to be the norm for this year,
it’s definitely a great start for us. We will continue to be conservative in our
expectations and monitor these receipts as they come in.
Land Purchase Update: Last meeting Colleyville City Council approved the
purchase of 15.1 acres just south of the intersection of SH26 and John McCain
Road. The City paid $4.3 million for the property (.06537/ sq. ft.), $468,731 less
than the appraised value and $633,170 less than the asking price. This strategic
purchase will allow the City to control the type and quality of development of that
parcel. While it is likely the roadway frontage will be commercially zoned, the City
may also consider open space opportunities along the back portion of the
property. Funding for the purchase came from the City’s TIF fund and did not
involve any debt. The purchase of land was identified in the TIF original project
City Council Minutes December 17, 2019
City of Colleyville Page 6
plan. It was also strongly supported in the recent citizen survey which was
discussed earlier this evening in worksession.
Plaza Cost Clarification: Some on social media have provided erroneous and
confusing costs associated with the City Plaza enhancement. To clarify, the City
Plaza construction cost was $2,468,693 (two million, four hundred sixty eight
thousand, six hundred ninety-three dollars). Additional work enhancing the front
of City Hall was also undertaken at a cost of $305,845 (alt bid). The project was
first funded in 1998 as part of the TIF creation ordinance. At that time the cost
estimate funding was $2,734,360.
Colleyville Capital Improvement Program (CIP 2020-2024): With so much
discussion regarding capital projects and capital planning, this is great time to
remind our residents about our published Capital Improvement Program
publication. This document is provided on the city webpage and provides a
summary of the $83 million in capital projects planned over the next five years.
Most notable is the $39 million slated for the current fiscal year which began
October 1st. With $23 million budgeted for roads alone, 2020 is going to be a busy
year. If you are curious about sidewalks/pedestrian trails you might find the $3.9
budget over the next two years interesting. Whatever your interest, the CIP plan
and our city’s long-term vision, has something for everyone. The CIP publication
can be found on Colleyville.com.
Citizen Survey Results Presentation: Earlier this meeting, in worksession, we
heard a presentation summarizing the results of our recent Citizen Survey. I want
to thank each of the nearly 1,300 respondents. Your input and commentary is
important. While the entire presentation can be viewed via our city website, I
would like to take a moment to highlight a few of the surve y highlights. As
expected, we learned that most of our residents get their city news from our
electronic newsletter and water bill insert. Overall, 90% or more of respondents
indicated they were “very satisfied” or “satisfied” with the quality o f life, safety,
appearance and City services of Colleyville. Of note was the strong support for the
City taking a proactive role in economic development (91%) and investment in
land for quality economic development and open space preservation (88%).
Finally, we saw strong support for community events (89%) and roadwork
improvements (88%). This feedback is helpful in serving our community. It is
exciting to see the public opinion data supporting the ongoing efforts and priorities
of this Council.
TAD Board of Directors: The City nominated Rich DeOtte and Gary Losada for
the Tarrant Appraisal District Board of Directors. Mayor Newton stated he took an
active role in soliciting support of both candidates and he is very pleased the
smaller organizations joined together and cast their ballots to elect both
candidates to the Board. He stated he knows both will do a great job and are the
avenue to positively affect improvement.
City Council Minutes December 17, 2019

School Safety: Mayor Pro Tem Lindamood thanked the principals, teachers,
Grapevine and Colleyville Police Departments, and SWAT for their thorough
response to the school threat last week. Mayor Pro Tem Lindamood thanked the
student who reported the incident, saying the student is a hero and perhaps saved
many by being courageous and filing a report.
Mayor Newton also offered his appreciation and briefly discussed a document he
distributed for the City Council to review and discuss in an upcoming worksession
regarding City involvement/response to school safety emergencies.
Von Husbands: Councilmember Chuck Kelley thanked the City and citizens for
the outpouring of support for the family of Von Husbands, Red Barn BBQ, who
passed away last month.
Mayor Newton introduced and recognized Miss Colleyville’s Outstanding
Teen, Sadie Schiermeyer, and Miss Colleyville, Mallory Fuller

Hendler, Chair; David Dudziak, Vice Chair, members Jennifer Johnson; Donn
Hethcock; Cliff LeBlanc; Eric Presson; and Lawrence Williamson, Jr. for their
good work and presented Committee members with a plaque in recognition of
their efforts.

Manager Adrienne Lothery

Woodbriar Addition, located at 3405 Cliffwood Drive, Case ZC19-008
Mayor Newton read the caption of Ordinance O-19-2104.
Community Development Director Ben Bryner provided a review of this item
stating it is for an SUP to allow for a 1,500 square foot accessory building, to be

measurements have been updated to include the carport and the applicant has

Councilmember Dodson asked staff why there is no driveway and if a driveway is a
requirement by the City. Director Bryner replied the intent is to build a driv eway
in the future, and noted these are classic hobby cars which are not driven daily.
