6. ORDINANCE(S): FIRST READING AND PUBLIC HEARING
6a Ordinance 0-12-1847
Amending Section 3A and 3B of the Water and Sewer Procedure Manual of the
City of Colleyville as contained in Appendix A of the Code of Ordinances of the
City of Colleyville, Texas
Mayor Kelly read the caption of Ordinance 0-12-1847.
Assistant City Manager and Chief Financial Officer Terry Leake stated annually, staff
updates the utility rate study to include changes in consumption patterns,
incorporation of Trinity River Authority rate increase, and the rate effect of future
bond sales. As part of the FY 2011 update process, staff provided information
regarding the feasibility of implementing a tiered water rate structure. A tiered rate
structure enables a city to meet its water debt service commitments, higher repair
and replacement costs, and third party water and sewer treatment costs from the
demands that high usage customers place on the water system. Currently, the City
charges the same rate per 1,000 gallons ($3.74) for water regardless of the gallons
used in the billing period. Ms. Leake reviewed the tiered water rate structures of
surrounding cities. With the adoption of a tiered rate structure, there would be no
monthly increase for customers who use 20,000 gallons or less and increases for
30,000 gallons, 40,000 gallons, and 50,000 gallons are $5.60, $16.80, and $33.60,
respectively. '
Ms. Leake stated over the next five years, TRA projects the cost for treated water and
sewer to increase and the increases are projected to cover escalating costs for the
purchase of raw water, chemicals, and debt service for future proposed debt
issuances to fund federal environmental mandates and replacement of aging
infrastructure. Ms. Leake further stated a major public education effort to inform
citizens that greater water usage will increase their utility bill will be implemented.
Assistant City Manager Leake also stated the proposed ordinance includes a TRA
pass-through rate increase per 1,000 gallons for wastewater ($0.11), scheduled for
December 2012, to eliminate the need for another rate adjustment proposal prior to
December 2012.
Mayor Kelly opened the public hearing.
There was no one present wishing to speak concerning this item and Mayor Kelly
closed the public hearing.
City Council Minutes August 21, 2012
Mayor Kelly stated the tiered water rate structure encourages water conservation and
preserves future water sources.
Discussion ensued regarding a public education effort to inform citizens of the tiered
rate structure and provide xeriscape landscaping and irrigation seminars, and the
adequacy of the ordinance to address the irrigation needs of larger lots.
6b Ordinance 0-12-1848
Replacing Ordinance 0-10-1755 to update the City of Colleyville's Investment
Policy
Mayor Kelly read the caption of Ordinance 0-12-1848.
Assistant City Manager and Chief Financial Officer Terry Leake stated the Investment
Policy provides required parameters for the investment of City funds as required by
the State of Texas Public Funds Investment Act and the most recent legislative
session approved updates to the Public Funds Investment Act. Ms. Leake presented
the proposed changes to the City's Investment Policy, which included changes to the
following sections: Objectives-Safety; Permissible Investments; Unacceptable
Investments; Effect of Loss of Required Rating; Investment Strategy; Diversification;
Selection of Financial Institutions; Collateral Securities for Certificates of Deposit and
Demand Accounts; Reporting Requirements; and Training Requirements.
Mayor Kelly opened the public hearing.

Development Commercial and the Special Use Permit for the zoning and
development requirements on Lot 1R2, Block 1, of the Tropicana Fuels
Addition located at 7101 Colleyville Boulevard, Case ZC12-019
Mayor Kelly read the caption of Ordinance 0-12-1849.
Community Development Director Ron Ruthven stated the applicant is requesting an
amendment to revise the sign requirements located at 7101 Colleyville Boulevard,
which is the Bear Creek Spirits & Wine store to allow for a variance that was granted
by the Sign Board of Appeals regarding the placement of a monument sign. This
variance allowed for a monument sign to be placed directly on the property line, as
necessitated by the right-of-way acquisition by TxDOT for SH26, as opposed to the
required eight foot setback from an abutting street right-of-way as outlined in
Chapter 7- Sign Regulations of the Land Development Code. The Planning and
Zoning Commission approved this request.

7a Resolution R-12-3524
Approval of a proposal to set the ad valorem tax rate for Fiscal Year 2013 at
$.3559 per hundred dollars of valuation
Mayor Kelly read Resolution R-12-3524 in its entirety.
Assistant City Manager and Chief Financial Officer Terry Leake stated the calculated
Fiscal Year 2013 (FY 2013) effective tax rate is $.362876. As the proposed rate of
$.3559 is lower than the effective tax rate, legislation requires that a city only need
to publish the '~Notice of Effective Tax Rate" to be in compliance with Chapter 26 of
the Texas Property Tax Code. In order that the citizens of Colleyville be informed of
the proposed FY 2013 tax rate, this resolution reflects the City Council's intention to
adopt a tax rate of $.3559 per hundred dollars of valuation. Ms. Leake further stated
the FY 2013 proposed tax rate of $.3559 per hundred dollars of valuation is
unchanged from FY 2013 to FY 2012 and has been unchanged for five years.
