3. ANNOUNCEMENTS, PROCLAMATIONS, AND PRESENTATIONS
Announcements of civic and charitable events
Presentation of calendar events and updates
Announcements of awards and recognition
Instead of regular announcements, Mayor Newton used this item to speak to the
Proclamation he issued on Monday, April 20, 2020. Mayor Newton made the
following comments regarding the Proclamation:
Governor Abbott recently issued changes to the Executive Order. Mayor
Newton reacted to the changes and on April 20, issued a Proclamation
Clarifying Implementation of Colleyville’s First Amended Declaration of
Disaster, which reflected Colleyville’s changes as a result of the Governor’s
Order. Mayor Newton stated the strategy in Colleyville is to follow the
guidance of the President of the United States, the CEDC, and Governor
Abbott, and he will always fall in line with them.
City Council Minutes April 21, 2020
City of Colleyville Page 4
Governor Abbott issued three Executive Orders and the City is implementing
those Orders in manners consistent with Colleyville needs. As a small city,
Colleyville has differences from larger cities, so there are things we can do
differently for our businesses, which are typically small businesses.
To answer the question, “Are you really being consistent with Governor
Abbott’s Order?” Yes, we are. During Governor Abbott’s press conference
today, April 21, 2020, Governor Abbott was asked if he thought our
Proclamation went beyond his Order, if he condones Orders such as ours
that are in the face of his, and will he take any action to ensure they don’t
go into effect ahead of his new restrictions, which will go into effect on
Monday, April 27, 2020. Governor Abbott commented he had read
Colleyville’s Proclamation and from everything he could tell, Mayor Newton,
in his proclamation, made deference to the Executive Order he issued.
Governor Abbott remarked that Colleyville’s proclamation followed the intent
of his Executive Order. Governor Abbott also made the comment there was
nothing that couldn’t be handled with a conversation between his staff and
Mayor Newton.
Mayor Newton stated he talked to the Deputy Attorney General and General
Council earlier in the day and the Deputy AG told Mayor Newton their
department has looked at the Proclamation and offered their assistance in
whichever way they can. Mayor Newton said the City Manager asked the
Deputy AG if he was going to give any directives to Mayor Newton to change
the proclamation. The Deputy AG said no.
Mayor Newton said he thinks Governor Abbott is doing a fantastic job
leading the state by making great decisions and including local officials.
Governor Abbott understands that local officials understand the needs of
their community better than anyone else. Governor Abbott wants the local
officials to participate to ensure the safety of our citizens and do everything
we can to help our businesses at the appropriate time in a safe manner.
Mayor Newton stated he has conference calls multiple times a week with
Tarrant County Judge Glen Whitley and other mayors of Tarrant County and
he would like to compliment Judge Whitley on the work he’s don e with the
counties.
Regarding the six components of the Proclamation, Mayor Newton made the
following comments:
The first component deals with religious services conducted in churches,
congregations, and houses of worship. The Governor made adjustments to
his Orders recently as a response to the Attorney General’s assessment, so
we have made the modifications to be in complete and total conformance
with the Governor’s Orders. The modifications will bring the pastors and
City Council Minutes April 21, 2020
City of Colleyville Page 5
leaders of the churches into the decision-making process of what they do,
although we encourage churches to have services remotely, which all
churches in Colleyville have done. Mayor Newton commented he had a great
conversation with the Ministerial Alliance earlier in the day to discuss th e
Proclamation and will keep them updated via video or conference calls.
The second component deals with elective surgery, which Governor Abbott
made allowable if two conditions are met. The first being a 25% hospital
capacity of beds available for COVID-19 patients, and the second being the
elective surgery medical staff could not request PPE from government
entities.
The third component deals with gatherings of 10 people. In our previous
Proclamation, those 10 had to be family members, and in the current
Proclamation, those 10 people do not have to be family members.
The first three components became effective immediately upon issuance of
the Proclamation, while the last three components will become effective at
12:01 a.m. on Friday, April 24, 2020, which is consistent with Governor
Abbott’s Orders.
The fourth component deals with retail business in that people can make
appointments with stores to transact business. This way, it is not the general
public, but one specific person, and the business can ma ke the appropriate
safety arrangements to accommodate the requirements.
The fifth component allows for in-person visits to “hands-on” businesses
such as gyms and salons through one-on-one appointments only.
The sixth component deals with restaurants, in that those restaurants with
outside patios may allow customers to consume food on the outdoor patio
area, so long as physical distancing is maintained between tables.
We will continue to be in conformance with Governor Abbott’s Orders, and if
Governor Abbott asks us to make some slight changes, we would do that.
Mayor Newton next addressed the reasons why he decided to make these
changes. First, because Governor Abbott made changes and we followed
those changes, but adapted them to fit Colleyville. Additionally, because at
the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, we had very little data about
the coronavirus, so the models we had predicted very large infection and
death. As time has gone on, we have much more data and we have a better
perspective on the context and how we should protect ourselves from the
coronavirus.
City Council Minutes April 21, 2020
City of Colleyville Page 6
Everyone has the right to their own opinion, and it is okay if they disagree
with our changes. If people are uncomfortable transacting business in
person, they can and should make the decision not to do that. They should
do whatever they deem best for their own safety.
Mayor Newton presented the following information to explain the context in which
he made the decision to be begin reopening Colleyville:
Predictions from a model from The University of Washington for the number
of deaths in Texas from the coronavirus shows we are basically at the peak
of deaths right now and will roll off towards the end of May to no deaths.
The model predictions early on were horrendous, and it was believed we
would not have nearly enough hospital beds when we hit the peak. So the
restrictions placed on the public were for the purpose of insuring there were
enough hospital beds and medical capacity available at the peak of the virus.
This has been achieved.
Governor Abbott and hospital CEOs and leaders did a fantastic job of making
available more hospital bed capacity in Texas, and Tarrant County Judge
Glen Whitley did a fantastic job of making available more hospital bed
capacity in Tarrant County. In Tarrant County, there is hospital bed capacity
of a little over 5,800 beds. Today, only 50% of those beds are used, so there
is 50% hospital bed capacity available for whoever needs it, and we are at
the peak. The dire predictions of not having enough hospita l beds at the
peak have not panned out, due to people’s work of making beds available.
In Tarrant County, we have about 130 patients in hospital beds that are
COVID-19 patients. That is less than 4% of the total hospital bed capacity.
Also, today only 20% of ventilator capacity is in use.
As of April 17, 2020, the population of Texas is 29,000,000 (estimated), and
there have been 169,539 people tested for COVID-19, of which 17,371 have
tested positive. There have been 1,522 people hospitalized for COVID -19,
and 428 deaths due to COVID-19. The population of Tarrant County is
2,100,000 (estimated), and there have been 1,333 people who have tested
positive, 132 hospitalized, and 42 deaths. In the City of Colleyville, the
population is 27,000, there are 12 active cases, and there have not been
any deaths due to COVID-19. ON a population basis the number of deaths in
Texas are 5 one hundredths of 1%. In Tarrant County the deaths are 2 one
thousandths of 1%.
Mayor Newton addressed the leading causes of death in t he United States,
and stated the current predictions for death due to the coronavirus
compares to the numbers we see from death due to influenza and
pneumonia, which is 55,672. The other numbers for the leading causes of
death in the US are:
City Council Minutes April 21, 2020
City of Colleyville Page 7
Heart Disease 647,457
Cancer 599,108
Accidents (unintentional injuries) 169,936
Chronic lower respiratory diseases 160,201
Stroke 146,383
Alzheimer’s Disease 121,404
Diabetes 83,564
Intentional Self-Harm (Suicide) 47,173
The difference between deaths due to those such as heart disease or cancer
and the coronavirus pandemic is that pandemics happen quickly, and all at
one time, which is why the peak is very important. Since pandemics happen
so quickly, the concern is that medical capability may not be able to meet
the need at the peak. However, the objectives to insure medical capacity at
the peak has been met.
Mayor Newton commented this is why it is time to start reopening the City
and backing off of the restrictions, which have devastated our businesses.
Mayor Newton remarked his number one priority is safety, and he will not do
anything if he and the Council think it cannot be done safely.
Mayor Newton addressed the reopening of hair salons and restaurants by the
following comments:
Hair stylists are licensed by a regulatory entity in the State of Texas, which
means there is another constraint the hair stylists have to consider. If there
are conditions placed on their licenses they hold from those state entities,
they are obligated to live by those restrictions.
We are not telling anybody they have to reopen, but this is our opinion of
what the Governor’s Executive Order says. We are giving salon owners and
stylists the ability to make the best decision for themselves.
Councilmember Wheat commented on how proud she is of Colleyville, the City
management team, and the Mayor, for taking the lead on this. She appreciates the
empowerment that is given back to the citizens for them to make their own safe
choices.
Councilmember Nakamura commented there is a lot of false information floating
around online, and she encouraged everyone to send out the April 21, 2020, City
Council Meeting video to show the City is following Governor Abbott’s Orders.
Mayor Newton stated he has written a letter, which along with a copy of the
Proclamation and a Business FAQ & Guidelines sheet, was sent to all businesses in
Colleyville, to get the information out as best as we can.
City Council Minutes April 21, 2020
City of Colleyville Page 8
Councilmember Dodson commented the City is not requiring anyone to go out on
their own and not practice safe requirements that have been published by
President Trump, the CEDC, or Governor Abbott. Additionally, Councilmember
Dodson stated he is proud of the safety processes the City has put in place.
Mayor Newton remarked it is factual now, based on the data, that 65-75% of
people who have a serious problem with the coronavirus are over the age of 60.
We need to pay particular attention to the groups who are at more risk from a
safety perspective, and we will continue to take this information into consideration
when making future decisions.
Mayor Pro Tem Lindamood asked that everyone respect everyone’s decision on
whether to stay home or go out, and refrain from ridiculing others whose decisions
are different from their own.
Councilmember Kelly thanked City staff, the Fire Department, the Police
Department, and the Parks staff for being proactive, and commented that if
someone does not feel comfortable going out to the parks or to use the
playgrounds, they shouldn’t do so.
Mayor Newton commented Colleyville has the best City staff in Texas is not the
country. The City has not shut down, there have been no furloughs, there is no
intent to do any furloughs, and resources have been repurposed as needed to
support the community, such as employees calling every senior citizen in
Colleyville, which is about 3,000 calls, to ask how they’re doing and if the City can
do anything for them. The Parks and Recreation staff has been doing a great job
at keeping the parks and playground equipment sanitized, which is a lot of work . If
you need to go to City Hall, you’ll soon be able to make an appointment to do
that. You can check out library books online, and library staff will deliver those
books to your home.
Councilmember Nakamura stated we have the best Mayor in the United St ates,
who makes decisions based off of facts.
Proclamation in recognition of Arbor Day
Mayor Newton read the entirety of the Arbor Day proclamation noting the
significance of Arbor Day and noting the City’s 22 nd year of being recognized as a
Tree City USA city.

10. CITIZEN COMMENTS
Kathy Hadley, 204 Timberline Drive North, spoke regarding Highway 26, noting it
is nice to see the construction finishing, but also a little sad to lose some of the
rural atmosphere. Mrs. Hadley stated she is looking forward to the trees and color
in the medians, but is concerned about the stabilization in the narrow portions and
would like to see additional green varieties and power boxes for the trees. She
said she did not like the rock because it does not represent Colleyville, but trees
do. She also asked to direct MESA to try to find rock locally and suggested they
look at the quarry on Davis Road.
Mrs. Hadley spoke regarding the geese at the pond at Colleyville Center and asked
City Council to remove a portion of the brick wall at the pond and replace with
landscaping and ramps for the geese and ducks to use to leave the pond.
In regard to the Parks projects, Mrs. Hadley would like the Park House to remain
and believes a second splash pad is a waste of money.
Mrs. Hadley stated she appreciated the Council listening to the citizens, President,
and Governor and allowing everyone to think for themselves.
