Due to technical challenges, the City Council Worksession and Regular Meeting of
the City Council was moved to the second floor of the library.
Mayor Richard Newton called the Colleyville City Council Worksession to order on
Tuesday, June 1, 2021, at 5:36 p.m.
ROLL CALL: Mayor Richard Newton, Mayor Pro Tem Bobby Lindamood, and
Councilmembers Tammy Nakamura, Kathy Wheat, George Dodson, Chuck Kelley
and Callie Rigney.
ALSO PRESENT: City Manager Jerry Ducay, Assistant City Manager Mark Wood,
Assistant City Manager Adrienne Lothery, Police Chief Michael Miller, Fire Chief
Mark Cantrell, Community Development Director Ben Bryner, Public Works
Director Ray Silva-Reyes, City Attorney Whitt Wyatt, and City Secretary Christine
Loven.
Mayor Newton welcomed everyone and explained there had been a power outage
earlier in the week which compromised the technology in the Executive Conference
Room and Council Chambers, therefore the meeting was being conducted at the
Library.
WS-1 Update on the preliminary design for the trail connecting the Nature Center
to Sparger Park
Public Works Director Ray Silva-Reyes stated this item would address the Nature
Center Trail, which is planned to be a 12' concrete trail to connect the Nature
Center to Sparger Park. Director Silva-Reyes broke the project down into phases,
presented maps, and financial analysis of trail design/alignment, alternate options,
and neighborhood/topographical considerations. Throughout the presentation, City
Council discussed the advantages, challenges, and options for each phase.
Following discussion, City Council directed staff to move forward with Phase I
design, incorporating the green trail bypass. Additional planning for Phase II will
come before City Council at a future date.
WS-2 Budget Process Overview
Finance Director Kyle Lester reviewed the budget process with City Council. He
provided a background of each of the major funds, and how the funds can be
used. Director Lester noted the budget looks for and serves as a financial plan
while the Annual Report, which is an audit, looks backward and follows the General
City Council Minutes June 1, 2021
City of Colleyville Page 2
Accepted Accounting Principles, and records actual revenues to expenditures.
Director Lester noted a high level glance of City Council’s actions include formally
adopting the budget (expenditures) as a total for each operating fund, amending
the budget if needed, setting the tax rate and all other City fees and charges,
adopting a 5-year CIP, and approval of all purchases and contracts over $50,000.
Director Lester reviewed the process and budgeting for vehicle, technology, police,
fire, and building system replacement. He then went on to provide a historical
review of the tax rate and its components. Director Lester defined the No-New-
Revenue Rate (previously the Effective Rate) as the rate that would produce the
same amount of taxes if applied to the same properties taxed in both years,
without new construction. He also provided a tax rate comparison for cities
surrounding Colleyville, DFW cities, cities with a population of over 10,000 and
20,000, and an overall of all Texas cities. He stated that Colleyville’s tax rate is
lower than 96% of all Texas cities over 20,000 populations.
Director Lester concluded his presentation noting the City is on track to establish
the no-new-revenue tax rate within the FY22 budget.
Mayor Newton reiterated the no-new-revenue tax rate is the rate that would
produce the same amount of taxes if applied to the same properties taxed in both
years, without including new construction. Mayor Pro Tem Lindamood suggested
planning to increase the number of days the City could operate when calculating
the debt ratio threshold.
WS-3 Discussion of the June 1, 2021, City Council regular agenda items
Mayor Newton stated agenda items 6a, 8a, and 8b will remain tabled and item 7a

Announcements of civic and charitable events
Presentation of calendar events and updates
Announcements of awards and recognition
Mayor Newton presented the following legislative information:
Legislative Update – The Texas Legislative meets every other year to pass new
legislation. This year it met in regular session from January 12th through May 31st.
I want to update you on some bills that are important to our City and that I have
mentioned in previous council meetings.
a. HB4447 would have prohibited cities from requiring “planning documents”
such as a drainage studies and traffic impact analysis prior to a plan or plat
being approved by the City Council. This would have negatively impacted
Colleyville and the quality to which we require developments to be built.
Fortunately, this bill failed to pass.
b. SB7 would make changes to voting rules in Texas with the intention of
strengthening voter integrity – especially mail in ballots (i.e. who is casting the
vote). The bill went back and forth between the Senate and the House. The
Senate ultimately approved the bill without amendments and was expected to
be approved by the House. Unfortunately, at the last minute before the session
ran out and before a vote was called, the Democrats in the House left the
meeting removing the quorum and denying the bill a vote. In my view, this bill
is critical to maintaining valid election processes which is the underpinning of
our very democracy. In my opinion, the papers and major news media have
portrayed this bill as restricting voting access which is blatantly untrue. I
believe the governor is considering calling a special session that would allow
the legislature to reconsider the bill. I urge you to call the governor’s office and
request a special session for this bill.
c. Last City Council meeting I reported on SB 2202 that would have banned
critical race theory from social studies curriculum in public schools. This bill did
not get out of the legislative process, but HB 3979 was passed by both the
Senate and the House and went to the governor for signature. HB 3979 would
limit the teaching of critical race theory in public schools and include the
founding documents of the United States of America and items such as the
Federalists papers in the curriculums. This bill is not perfect but goes in the
right direction. Southlake has demonstrated that all parents should be
concerned about this no matter what school system they are in. “Critical race
theory” the “cancel culture” and the “1619 Project” are very divisive in their
very foundations and go counter to our Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the
teachings of Martin Luther King, which are all blind to the color of one’s skin.
Critical race theory is based on the assumption of systemic racism as its very
City Council Minutes June 1, 2021
City of Colleyville Page 5
foundation. In my opinion, schools should be about teaching the basics of
education, math, science, reading, writing, and art, not subjecting our students
to social/political agendas of the day that parents may not agree with. I am
sure there will be much public discussion of this topic in the future.
Mayor Newton and the City Council made the following announcements:
Trail Funds - Last week we were informed that Commissioner Fickes is working
on providing Colleyville with $500,000 for a bike trail project in our city.
Tentatively, the proposed bike/pedestrian trail along Bransford Road is slated for
this funding. I would like to take a moment to thank Commissioner Fickes for this
effort and his ongoing leadership in the area of transportation. His leadership has
saved our taxpayers millions of dollars on road project reconstruction while
tirelessly working to secure funding for new transportation initiatives. We are
blessed to have him represent our City.
Colleyville FD Responds to Assist Flooded Communities in South Texas –
Recently, the Fire Department was notified by the Texas Emergency Medical Task
Force of the need for emergency resources to be staged in preparation for
potential flooding conditions in southern Texas. Within the hour, Engineer Brian
Wallace and Firefighter William Hutton were activated to deploy an ambulance.
They responded to staging in College Station, and later assigned to the coastal city
of Orange, near the Louisiana border. We are proud of our Fire Department and
applaud their efforts to assist those in need throughout our City and beyond. The
Emergency Medical Task Force is a state cooperative lead by the Texas
Department of State Health Services to compliment local resources in times of
disaster.
Colleyville Business Center Event – The Colleyville Business Center will host a
Lunch-and-Learn with marketing pro Tracy Southers Parker. The event will take

owners with insight on marketing to reach new customers and deliver products

Election Day Run-off is Saturday June 5 – A run-off election will be held June

Hall, second floor training room 7 a.m. - 7 p.m.

Colleyville Exceptionalism Captured – You may hear me mention “Colleyville’s
exceptionalism” when I discuss our City. I love this City and the wonderful
residents who call her home. Too often this description of Colleyville fails to
capture the blessed nature of who we are and what “exceptionalism” is about. A
little over a week ago, I received a letter that tells the story of exceptionalism in
the personal experience of one of our residents. I would like to share that letter
with you now.
Dear Mayor Newton:
I am writing to thank the leadership of Colleyville for the professional services and
caring respect that we have received from so many members of your team.
During the February snowstorm, we lost power for over 50 hours. We are in our
seventies, and my husband is handicapped. I could not find a hotel room and did
not have family who could help. We went to the warming station at the library to
charge our electronic devices. Later that day, we decided to pack our blankets and
spend the night at the warming station. We stayed two nights.
While we were there, everyone made us feel welcome and cared for. I think library
employees pitched in to staff the station. I especially remember the library
employees who helping me find a resting place for my husband in the puppet
room. Local vendors provided hot food. There was always coffee and water and
snacks. The folks that maintained the food area and coordinated with the vendors
were outstanding in their kindness and attention to detail. I do not know whether
they were library staff or volunteers from the community. Restrooms were
maintained.
Other staff members and officers checked on everyone through the night.
This was an amazing, lifesaving experience for my husband and me. I believe we
would have died from hypothermia if we had attempted to stay another night in
our home. Please express our admiration and appreciation to those who planned,
managed, and staffed the Colleyville Library warming station.
We have also had very professional, helpful interactions with folks in the utilities
billing and engineering departments. A few Sundays ago, we attended our first
City Council Minutes June 1, 2021
City of Colleyville Page 7
concert on the Plaza. It was a wonderful free event for families and for older
residents like us. The music was great. There was complimentary ice cream. A
smiling, friendly person passed out Colleyville t-shirts (which we will definitely
wear). Whenever we vote at City Hall, everything is well signed; there is handicap
parking; and, staff understands my husband’s need for assistance.
I hope this letter conveys our thanks to you and your team. We moved to
Colleyville about three years ago after living in St. Louis for 35 years. We are so
glad that we chose Colleyville for our new city!
Sincerely,
Mary Fulcher Morgan
This letter captured the essence of “exceptionalism” in a way that is sure to warm
your heart. It fills me with pride to share this community with so many who work
for the betterment others. We are truly blessed!

located at 5217 & 5201 Pleasant Run Road, Case ZC21-010
Mayor Newton read the caption of Ordinance O-21-2163.
Community Development Director Ben Bryner presented this item noting this is a
request to rezone from the PUD-C Planned Unit Development - Commercial district
to the RE Single-Family ‘Estate’ Residential district for one new single-family
home. He noted this property is located in The Villages and the current size of the
property does comply with all the minimum standards of the RE zoning district.
Mayor Newton stated this is a proposal for residential in the middle of commercial
zoned property, however, the zoning is in The Villages, and there would be a
possibility of the property containing condominiums. There was general discussion
regarding commercial properties within The Villages, the location of the front of
the home, and an easement for a walkway.
Mayor Newton asked the applicant to come forward. Tammy Spicer, 90 Casa Lane,
answered questions of the City Council which included stating the property is
under contract and she will purchase the property if she is approved for the
zoning. Ms. Spicer stated it would be her intention to keep the trees, add a fence
on two sides, maybe a swimming pool, and guest house at a later date. Ms. Spicer
stated she believes the single family home would add more value to the area and
City than 15 small condos and she is willing to work with the City.
Mayor Newton opened the public hearing at 8:14 p.m.
Kathy Hadley, 204 Timberline Drive North, spoke in favor of this item.

Mayor Newton asked the applicant to come forward to answer questions. Mayor
Newton stated he was aware there were residents who will be speaking on this
item. He stated everyone will be allowed to speak and each issue will be addressed

applicant, answered questions of the City Council which included discussion of the
tree waiver and what adjustments were made to the plan to bring the canopy into
