and she and Intern Dakari Hill have put a lot of effort into personally meeting face

determine how the City could best assist them during this time.

was primarily designed by Intern Hill. The entire survey was ten questions asking

City Council Minutes January 19, 2021

operation, processes, customer traffic, operations, and staffing have changed, and
how the City could assist the business.
Mayor Newton stated the survey data is validated by the respondents and this
personal touch of contacting each City is very impressive. Mayor Newton stated

Announcements of civic and charitable events
Presentation of calendar events and updates
Announcements of awards and recognition
The Mayor and Councilmembers made the following announcements:
COVID Update: I (Mayor) continue to record weekly video messages updating the
public on the pandemic and vaccine distribution. The recording can be found at
https://www.colleyville.com/colleyville/coronavirus.
Currently, we have about 601 active positive cases in Colleyville. The adult ICU
utilization percentage remains at 97% - which is high. About 84% of the total
Tarrant County hospital beds are now in use, leaving 16% available, based on the
hospitalization graph on the Tarrant County website. (refer to web site). COVID
patients are utilizing approximately 30% of all hospital beds in the county.
Ventilators availability remains stable at 55%. Unfortunately, we have had another
death in Colleyville. Our total is now 5. Daily case counts continue to be high.
COVID-19 Vaccine Update – the Hurst Convention Center vaccination center is
open and operational. Currently, they are providing 1,200 vaccines a day with a
goal to increase that process to 2,000 a day by next week. The County has
City Council Minutes January 19, 2021
City of Colleyville Page 5
reported that 300,000 +/- individuals have registered through the online
registration process at www.tarrantcounty.com/covidshot.
The County Health Department continues to schedule vaccinations for those
registered based on the state’s tiered priority system. Currently, vaccination
scheduling is open to citizens 65 years of age and over and those with pre-existing
conditions. The County is confident that the HUB sites (such as Hurst) will continue
to see increased distribution of vaccines through the state. For more information
about vaccine distribution, visit the Tarrant County Public Health website link
below.
Those who do not qualify under the conditions outlined above may use the link to
register. However, those individuals may experience longer wait times until the
program opens beyond the current restrictions.
For those that are interested, you can sign up to be a volunteer at the Hurst
Conference Center vaccination site through the Tarrant County Medical Reserve
Corps by going to the web site www.BeALocalHero.org. Click on the “sign-
in/register” button in the middle of the screen. You will need to select either the
role Registration or Data Entry at the “NETC Vaccination site” in Hurst and details
will be provided. You will have to be an approved volunteer which includes HIPAA
training and a background check. All volunteers do receive the vaccination.
Sales Tax Collections Continue Strong Showing – The Texas Comptroller’s
Office has posted the most recent sales tax allocation information for January,
representing all receipts from purchases made in November of this year. This is
the also the second collection for FY21.
For the month of November, our sales tax collection came in at 15.2% over the
same month in FY20, increasing our YTD growth to 8.5%. In terms of dollars, this
represents a total YTD gain of $91,800 over last year.
Due to our conservative budgeting, we are ahead of our anticipated FY21
collections by $131,800. This the eighth consecutive month in which Colleyville
has posted sales tax gains over the previous year.
Thank you Colleyville residents for shopping in Colleyville.
Colleyville $35 Gift Card & $50 Cares Cards Update: Last month, the city
mailed a $35 gift card to each residential property in Colleyville. This gift card was
redeemable at Colleyville businesses. In addition to the gift card program, the City
provided each of our city’s Houses of Worship with 20 - $50 Colleyville Cares Gift
Cards. This $50 card was intended to provided assistance to those in need this
holiday season. Both programs ended December 31. As of
City Council Minutes January 19, 2021
City of Colleyville Page 6
Today, $241,675 in gift cards have been redeemed. Of that total, 6,015 are $35
cards ($210,525) and 623 are $50 ($31,150).
As the Mayor pro tem alluded to earlier, the City continues to see an increase in
sales tax revenue. However, Colleyville’s healthy sales tax revenue has primarily
been driven by online sales. Throughout the pandemic, we have seen spending
patterns remain the same or increased but the avenue through which dollars have
been spent has changed. Because of this shift, some of our brick and mortar
retailers and restaurants have struggled. It is for this reason that the City has
bolstered economic development efforts over the last year with programs such as
the gift cards. The City has spent nearly $1 million on programs to connect our
community’s two greatest resources – our citizens and our businesses. We thank
our residents for the continued support they have shown our local businesses.
Utility Billing Late Fee Suspension Extended – When COVID-19 hit Tarrant
County, Colleyville, like many cities, suspended late fees and disconnects on all
utility customers. At the time, this initiative was slated to span from early April to
December 31, 2020. As December 31 came and went, it became clear that the
debilitating effect the virus has had on our community was going to continue for
some time. Thus, our late fee/disconnect policy has been extended 60 days to
March 1, 2021.
E-News Provides Weekly News from Colleyville – Staff continues to see
strong click rates for our Colleyville E-News. This weekly electronic newsletter has
become an excellent communication tool during the pandemic. It also provides
construction updates and links to community programs. You can sign up for this
free service at Colleyville.com.
SH26 Medians Taking Shape: Traveling along SH26 you notice the large trees
and stone formations being installed. This effort is part of the median beatification
project awarded last fall. As if this project was not exciting enough, this week we
went out for bids on the new tower elements to be located at John McCain, Main
Street, and just north of Brown Trail. Stay tuned for more updates as these
exceptional beautification efforts take shape.
Glade Road Construction Update: The westbound lane closure has extended
from Bedford Road to Bluebonnet Drive as crews continue to install the new 12-
inch waterline. The Bedford Road closure remains the same with both northbound
and southbound lanes closed from Glade Road to Jo Carol Lane. Detours signs
have been set. The Contractor is currently working on the underground
stormwater sewer system including the water/wastewater lines. For regular
updates of road construction projects via text alert text "ROADS" to 48421.

5a Monthly Financial Report - December 2020
Finance Director Kyle Lester reviewed the December 2020 financial report. He
noted the General Fund has collected 36% of its budgeted revenue and spent 31%
of its budgeted expenditures. Director Lester stated the City has reached the
turning point in every fiscal year when property taxes start to hit our accounts,
giving the General Fund a surplus that will remain throughout the remaining
months. He stated the City surplus of $1.4 million is slightly lower than the
City Council Minutes January 19, 2021
City of Colleyville Page 8
previous year, due partly to one additional pay period hitting in December. The
City received its second collection of the fiscal year from November's sales, and it
brought in a large, 15.2% increase Director Lester said due to conservative
budgeting the City is 10.7% ahead of projections.
Director Lester then provided an update of each of the funds, noting all are doing
well and with the City’s current debt service schedule, all bonded debt is on track
to be paid off by FY27.

yard for a corner lot. Director Bryner noted there have been no changes since this
item was presented at the January 5, 2021 City Council Meeting.

somewhere else on the property and an SUP would not be required. He also noted
the location of the fence will cause difficulties in the future.
The applicant, Jonathan Grubbs, 111 W. Greenbriar Lane, reiterated his desire for
the use of the property and location of the building and stated he did not expect

applicant would have 60 days to remove the old home once the new home is
