Mayor Richard Newton called the Colleyville City Council Worksession to order on
Tuesday, June 15, 2021, at 5:05 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, Parks and Recreation Director Lisa
Escobedo, Police Chief Michael Miller, Fire Chief Mark Cantrell, Community
Development Director Ben Bryner, Human Resources Director Jesse Perez, Finance
Director Kyle Lester, City Attorney Whitt Wyatt, and City Secretary Christine
Loven.
WS-1 Presentation of the final concept for the Senior Center Renovation Project
Parks and Recreation Director Lisa Escobedo introduced Mick Massey and Melissa
King, Barker Rinker Seacat Architecture (BRS) who reviewed the final concept
design and provided building material and color samples. Mr. Massey introduced
Chris Nichols who is new to the project. Mr. Nichols reviewed the milestones,
budget, and project schedule moving forward.
Mayor Newton asked Mr. Nichols if the project schedule could be accelerated. Mr.
Nichols stated they will move forward as quickly as possible and will continue to
provide the City Council with the progress.
WS-2 Presentation and discussion of health insurance renewal
Human Resources Director Jesse Perez provided an overview of the process used
to seek requests for proposals on the City’s benefits. He noted HUB International is
the City’s insurance brokerage firm and explained the health and dental insurance
was up for renewal this year. Director Perez introduced Andrew Weegar,
Consultant, HUB International, who reviewed the results of the requests for
proposal and the recommendation for renewal with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of
Texas (BCBSTX).
Mr. Weegar stated the objectives of the RFP required alignment with the City’s
objectives, demonstration of superior member service and claims processing; an
ability to proactively meet the City’s service needs; a willingness, experience and
capability to effectively administer the programs; ability to provide support during
the implementation process; and options to manage costs.
City Council Minutes June 15, 2021
City of Colleyville Page 2
Mr. Weegar stated plan performance is a large part of the renewal process and a
loss ratio at or above 85% generally equals a very high cost increase. At the time
of the RFP the City’s loss ratio was 91.1% compared to 88% during the 2019-2020
renewal RFP. Mr. Weegar reviewed the rates and services of those who responded
to the request for quote and explained the evaluation process.
The final recommendation presented by Mr. Weegar was renewal with BCBSTX for
the 2021/2022 plan year with a -0.3% decrease to rates with no plan design
changes. Mr. Weegar stated based on the City’s loss ratio over the last twelve
months (89%), HUB’s internal projections called for a +12% increase to
premiums. Originally, the City received a +9.5% increase and HUB negotiated the
increase to +3%. Further, BCBSTX agreed to provide the City a $79,849
administrative credit which reduced their best and final offer to -0.3%. BCBSTX
did not propose any plan design changes.
Mr. Weegar also noted HUB reviewed alternative plan designs which included
changes to deductibles, out of pocket maximums, and copays, however there was
not enough cost savings to warrant a change at this time. Additionally, vendors
who quoted with the RFP were not able to match current benefit designs. HUB
believes there would be a negative impact to member’s benefits, prescriptions,
and network access if the City moved vendors this year.
Councilmember Dodson asked if employees are aware of Good RX, a free program
for reduced prescriptions. Mr. Weegar stated the plan would be discussed with
employees during open enrollment.
Mayor Pro Tem Lindamood stated Cigna should be looked at based on their
proposal.
Mayor Newton asked Mr. Weegar why BCBSTX agreed to the negotiated rate when
our loss ratio was high. Mr. Weegar stated HUB reviewed the loss ratio and proved
the losses were not catastrophic which means the claims would end and would not
be reoccurring.
Mayor Newton asked Mr. Weegar about the City offering retiree health benefits as
the population has exceeded 25,000. Mr. Weegar said the Government Code
states the benefit has to be offered, but not funded. He stated 80% of cities do not
fund retiree health insurance.
WS-3 Discussion of the City Hall and Library flooring and maintenance project
with committee recommendations
Public Works Director Ray Silva-Reyes provided a recap of the City Hall and Library
interior renovation project and noted Mayor Newton, and Councilmembers Wheat
and Rigney served on a Design Committee with Assistant City Manager Adrienne
Lothery and Director Silva-Reyes and made the final selections which are being
City Council Minutes June 15, 2021
City of Colleyville Page 3
presented. Director Silva-Reyes then introduced Gaylen Laing, President, GHLA,
the architecture firm engaged by the City. Mr. Laing provided samples of the
selected tile, carpet, marble, porcelain, and paint which will be used, and provided
renderings for each area. Mr. Laing also stated the costs have remained stable.
Councilmember Nakamura asked what the time frame of the project was and
Director Silva-Reyes stated the project will be bid for eight weeks and plans an
August start date.
WS-4 Review of preliminary budget numbers
Finance Director Kyle Lester reviewed the last four years of significant budgeting
efforts from FY2018 to present.
Director Lester stated the goal of the FY2022 budget is to maximize use of sales
tax funds, continue annual compensation increases, and keep health insurance
effectively flat with FY21.
In reviewing the preliminary numbers, Director Lester stated the projection
provides for the no new revenue rate, no health insurance increases, expansion of
the HRA program, and funding the pool for merit increases at 3.5%.
Director Lester reviewed all funds, as they are currently and projected, noting all
projections are very conservative and there will be some adjustments as City
Council and staff finalize the budget which will be adopted in September.
In reviewing the debt service fund, Director Lester noted the general obligation
debt will be paid off in FY2028 and staff will continue to evaluate the debt strategy
to ensure alignment with identified needs.
There was discussion regarding the number of days of fund balance, the CIP, the
debt service funds and the request by GRACE for an increase to the agency
agreement.
WS-5 Discussion of the June 15, 2021, City Council regular agenda items
Mayor Newton stated agenda items 7a, 9a, and 9b will remain tabled.
Mayor Newton adjourned the Worksession at 6:27 p.m. and called the Executive

City Council Minutes June 15, 2021
City of Colleyville Page 5
Council unanimously gave a glowing performance evaluation. Mayor Newton said
he could go on and on about the accomplishments of the City Manager, but stated
two or the most recent examples of how he runs the City effectively included the
City remaining open during the pandemic with staff working and the response to
the February freeze. Mayor Newton also noted the no new tax rate has been in
place for three years, and the FY22 budget is expected to also provide for the no
new tax rate.
Mayor Pro Tem Lindamood and the City Council added their appreciation for the
work of the City Manager and his ability to get things done. Mayor Newton stated
all of this success has been due to the City Manager and the staff he put together.

Bowl! Wearing his trademark orange, Wacky Chad will reach neck-straining
heights on his unicycle and defy gravity on an air-powered pogo stick. Prepare to
be wowed!
Sales Tax Up Again! - The City’s most recent sales tax collection came in at a
solid 9.1% over the same month in FY20, putting our YTD growth at 15.7%. In
terms of dollars, this represents a total YTD gain of $732,000 over last year. The
City received modest audit collections of about $5,000, so the majority of the
9.1% growth reflects actual economic activity for this period. Through April of this
year, the City has received a total of $5,380,508 in sales tax.
License Plate Readers Help Nab Another Suspected Criminal - Colleyville
officers were recently notified by the City's License Plate Reader system that a
stolen vehicle was entering the City. Officers quickly located the vehicle and
attempted to conduct a felony traffic stop on Colleyville Boulevard. Once the
vehicle stopped, the driver opened the vehicle door and took off running away
from the officers. Our officers gave chase on foot and apprehended the suspect
about 100 yards from the car in the pouring rain. During a search of the suspect's
property, officers found methamphetamine, Xanax, many stolen credit cards, and
a large sum of cash. The vehicle was confirmed stolen earlier that morning out of a
neighboring city. The suspect was arrested and charged with Unauthorized Use of
a Motor Vehicle, Possession of Controlled Substance, Credit Card Abuse, and
Evading Arrest. Using technology to proactively take this criminal off the street
likely prevented a crime in our City!
Pet Reminders - As the weather gets nicer, more and more people like to get
outdoors with their four-legged friends to enjoy some fresh air. To ensure
everyone has a pleasant time around town, we want to remind dog owners of a
couple of things. All dogs must be controlled on a leash by an able-bodied person,
at all times, whenever the dog is on public property. This includes all parks,
sidewalks, streets, and school grounds. This is to ensure the safety of our
residents, their pets, and area wildlife. We also ask that residents be considerate
of others and their community by picking up after their pet.
City Council Minutes June 15, 2021
City of Colleyville Page 7
Fire Department Secures Grant - The Fire Department was notified this week
that FEMA is funding the additional $65,562 for the purchase of the SCBA’s (air
packs). They have already paid Colleyville 75% of the cost, this is the remaining
25%. The department applied for the grant and continued to push for full cost
replacement. This is in line with the City’s strategy to pursue grant opportunities
to save taxpayer funds. Great job Fire Department!
4. CONSENT: READING AND PUBLIC HEARING - RESOLUTION R-21-4625
4a Approval of the minutes of the regular City Council meeting of June 1,
2021
4b Approval of a Professional Services Agreement with Barker Rinker Seacat

4c Approval of the First Amendment to the Construction Services Agreement
with The Fain Group, Inc. for the SH26 Beautification Project, providing
for an additional $268,428.00 to the current project budget, in an amount

execute the amendment
4d Approval of a Construction Services Agreement with JM Management LLC,
dba JM Construction Solutions for the Colleyville Service Center
Renovation Project, in an amount not to exceed $552,092.61 and a
contingency amount not to exceed $50,000.00, and authorizing the City
Manager to execute the contract
4e Approval of a Construction Services Agreement with CMC Development &
Construction Corporation for the Colleyville Center Interior
Renovation/Repair Project, in an amount not to exceed $170,000.00 and
a contingency amount not to exceed $10,000.00, and authorizing the City
Manager to execute the contract
Mayor Newton read Resolution R-21-4625 in its entirety.
Parks and Recreation Director Lisa Escobedo presented item 4b noting renovation
of the Colleyville Senior Center was identified as a priority in the 2018 Parks
Master Plan and was included in the City's Capital Improvement Program. Barker
Rinker Seacat Architecture (BRS) was engaged to develop several conceptual
designs for what the renovation would entail, both inside and out. Following
consideration of several conceptual designs over the last several months, a final
conceptual design was presented to City Council at today’s June 15, 2021
Worksession. Director Escobedo stated approval of this item provides for approval
City Council Minutes June 15, 2021
City of Colleyville Page 8
of design services, development of construction documents, and a complete bid
package for the renovation of the Colleyville Senior Center.
There was general discussion regarding the cost of the project and the
professional agreement with BRS for the design concept. Mayor Newton noted this
project is a culmination of over a year’s worth of research and community
involvement.
Public Works Director Ray Silva-Reyes presented item 4c noting during the
worksessions for the corridor beautification, the construction limits discussed were
from the Gateway Tower at John McCain to the Gateway Tower at Little Bear
Creek. Director Silva-Reyes stated the original scope did not include the two
median islands south of Little Bear Creek, which are part of the SH26 TxDOT
Roadway Project. Staff realized leaving these two medians unimproved would not
be consistent with the level of expectation from our citizenry. Approval of this
item would provide for the First Amendment to the Construction Services
Agreement to furnish and install site and landscape improvements on the two
median islands south of Little Bear Creek.
Councilmember Dodson asked Director Silva-Reyes if the City was sure these
medians were not included in the original agreement. Director Silva-Reyes stated
yes, it is correct the medians were not included. There was general discussion
regarding the location and number of trees left to plant along the corridor.
Public Works Director Ray Silva-Reyes presented item 4d, approving an amount
not to exceed $552,092.61 and a contingency amount not to exceed $50,000.00
for renovations are the Service Center. Director Silva-Reyes explained the $602,
092 would provide for installing new stone veneer walls and metal awnings to the
building’s front elevation, repairs and repainting of all exterior walls,
replacing/enlarging/installing new and existing windows, and the construction of a
new monument sign. Interior renovations include demolition of some existing walls
and finishes, framing and finishing of new partition walls and ceilings, painting and
retexturing walls and ceilings, new flooring, installing new doors and hardware,
new workstations and casework, new plumbing fixtures, new HVAC systems and
ductwork, and installing/moving new and existing electrical wiring and lighting
fixtures. He stated the alternates, parking canopies and resurfacing of the asphalt,
were not included due to the base bid exceeding the original September 15, 2020,
budget amount of $500,000.
Mayor Pro Tem Lindamood stated he would like to see the parking canopies and lot
resurfacing done. He noted the City makes a large investment in vehicles and
personnel and completing both projects would help to protect both investments.
There was discussion regarding both alternates being added to the project for a
total amount of $915,832.61.
City Council Minutes June 15, 2021
City of Colleyville Page 9
Item 4e was presented by Colleyville Center Manager Leslie Hill. Manager Hill
stated on February 15, 2021, the Colleyville Center fire suppression pipes froze as
a result of the freezing temperatures associated with the winter storm. The pipe
break released several hundred gallons of water across the Center audio video
room, stairwells, entry lobby, and Grand Ballroom. The water damage buckled the
flooring on the north side of the Grand Ballroom, and seeped into the
lobby sheetrock and the excessive moisture resulted in mold. If approved this item
would provide for all repairs and renovation at Colleyville Center. Manager Hill
noted the expense is offset by funds from the insurance claim.
Mayor Newton opened and closed the public hearing at 8:27 p.m. as there was no
one present wishing to speak.
Councilmember Nakamura made a motion to approve Resolution R-21-
4625, amending 4d to include the add alternates for parking canopies and
asphalt in an amount not to exceed $915,832.61, which includes a
contingency amount not to exceed $50,000.00, seconded by
Councilmember Wheat.
The motion to approve passed by the following vote:
Ayes: 7 – Mayor Newton, Mayor Pro Tem Lindamood, Councilmembers
Nakamura, Wheat, Dodson, Kelley, and Rigney.
5. ITEMS NOT FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
5a Monthly Financial Report - May 2021
Finance Director Kyle Lester presented the May 2021 Financial Report. He reported
through May, the General Fund has collected 88% of budgeted revenue and spent
64% of budgeted expenditures. General Fund cash flow remains stronger than in
previous years, led by higher revenue from sales and property taxes. Franchise
tax revenue and interest income are the only weaker spots in the revenue profile,
due to legislation passed during the last legislative session as well as a weak fixed
income market. Director Lester stated the interest income and franchise tax
revenue would be accounted for in the FY22 budget, although growth in other
revenue has more than offset this loss. Director Lester stated the Fund's surplus of
$6.5 million is stronger than last year, and will decline steadily through
September.
Director Lester stated Council was aware this month’s sales tax collection was a
big anomaly for everyone. Texas cities in the aggregate saw average increases of
30%. Colleyville’s total increase over March of last year came to 51.8%, putting
the City ahead of FY20 by $673,000. Director Lester said there was a positive
audit collection adding to this, but even netting audit collection out, there is a 40%
gain.
City Council Minutes June 15, 2021
City of Colleyville Page 10
Director Lester recapped the remaining funds: utility, drainage, hotel, and debt
service, which are all healthy.
Mayor Newton called a recess at 8:37 p.m. and reconvened at 8:43 p.m.
6. ORDINANCE(S): SECOND READING AND PUBLIC HEARING
6a Ordinance O-21-2163
Consideration of a zoning change from PUD-C Planned Unit Development-
Commercial zoning district to RE Single-Family 'Estate' Residential zoning
district on Lot 1A & 2A, Block 1, Village Court, 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 RE allows for fencing around the property. He asked Director
Bryner where the fencing could be placed according to the current zoning
regulations. Director Bryner responded fencing is not related to the zoning, but to
the size of the lot. For lots which are 40,000 square feet and larger, it does allow
for fences to be up to the property lines, including the front property lines, which
in this case means on the street side, however, the maximum opaqueness must be
25%, meaning it has to be an open design. Mayor Newton clarified due to the size
of the lot the fencing could go to the property line but had to be a maximum 25%
opaqueness. City Manager Jerry Ducay noted on this property the fence could go
right to the sidewalk.
Mayor Newton stated he has been thinking about this a lot and noted he was
speaking to the applicant to explain his thoughts. Mayor Newton stated this is a
very unusual case in that the property is zoned commercial and you want to put a
residential estate there amongst the commercial. We all love the residential
estate, but this creates some unusual and special circumstances for the City
Council. As I mentioned last time, because of the layout of all of this, the right of
way is right at the sidewalk, so having a fence right there is questionable about
how this would look. Also, RE carries with it the right to have several things. As
mentioned last time, you have the right to another structure, which is fine, but
you have the right to have animals, some may think that is okay or not, but I
would not choose to take that away from RE. Mayor Newton continued by saying
this type of zoning is procedurally not something the Council can just start sticking
conditions on. For planned unit development residential zoning, we can place

conditions that make sense. Mayor Newton stated he is trying to explain the
quandary the Council is in and how it can be addressed. We could place some
requirements on this and place notes on the plat, but the question remains, even if
you agree with everything, can it be challenged in court by a new owner. Mayor
Newton said he is struggling because he wants to place some conditions if
approved.
The applicant asked permission to address the Mayor and Council and Mayor
Newton agreed. Tammy Spicer, 90 Casa Lane, stated she was lived in The Villages
for the past six years and she does not want to build something that will detract
from the City. She stated she has had the same discussions regarding where to
locate the fence, has considered options such as having a knee wall, somewhat
like a planter on that side. Ms. Spicer said she hears the concerns of the Council
and they are valid, and she has no interest in building eight-foot walls around the
property to make it look like a compound. Ms. Spicer stated she did not know how
to go about ensuring this and convincing Council of her sincerity.
Mayor Newton stated he has learned a City Council meeting format is not
conducive to working through items such as this, there needs to be more time and
consideration given. He stated he was not at a point where he could approve this
tonight because it will take more thinking and time. Ms. Spicer stated she did not
have time because if it is not approved she will have to cancel her contract or
close on the property in two days. She said she is willing to work with the City, she
will hire an architectural engineer to work with planning, to have a product
everyone agrees on, but she does not have two weeks. Mayor Newton asked if the
contract was contingent on zoning. Ms. Spicer replied yes. Mayor Newton said he
is just not comfortable with approving this. Ms. Spicer asked Mayor Newton if they
could write something into the ordinance as they did at the last meeting so they
can approve the item. Mayor Newton stated in the case Ms. Spicer observed, there
had been months and months of previous citizen and Council action to get to the
point of approval and this is not the case with this zoning, and he is not
comfortable with an approval tonight. Ms. Spicer stated she has an option of
closing on the property in two days, it already has a residential use and she could
build a three-story monstrosity that covers the entire lot and the fence can go up
against the sidewalk, so that option remains. She stated she would be in
compliance with all the ordinances, but that is not her intent and that would be a
really horrible product for the City. Ms. Spicer stated she wants to stay close to
living by her mother, preferably in The Villages, so if that is her only option; it is
one she would have to seriously consider.
Mayor Newton adjourned to Executive Session at 8:56 p.m. Executive Session was
adjourned at 9:11 p.m. and the meeting was reconvened at 9:13 p.m.
Mayor Newton addressed Ms. Spicer and stated she had raised a good and
legitimate point regarding the rights within the current zoning. Mayor Newton
stated the Council has work to do to understand what the rights within the current
