WS-1 Overview of the Colleyville Public Library Long-Range Plan Update
Library Director Mary Rodne provided highlights of past long range plan elements,
which have been implemented and introduced Bill Hidell of Hidell Architects, who
will conduct the long-range plan, and members of the Colleyville Library Board.
Mr. Hidell gave an overview of the planning process phases, which include data,
collection, design workshop, long-range plan survey, and a final report. Mr. Hidell
explained the public input process under the design workshop would provide for
stakeholders to exchange ideas and information utilizing data as a backdrop to
start the discussion and navigate solutions. The results of the process will establish
short and long-term goals for user-centered service delivery, marketing,
collections, technology, programs, and services.
In answer to questions from Mayor Newton, Mr. Hidell noted the Colleyville Library
has been very successful where others have failed, and the long-range plan will
establish needs and measurable goals. Mr. Hidell stated he anticipates this project
to last two to three months.
WS-2 Discussion of a citizens committee to evaluate a potential General Capital
Projects fee
Mayor Newton stated he would like the Council to consider creating a citizens
committee to evaluate a general capital projects fee, much like the citizens
committee, which developed the water and wastewater base rates. The City
Council agreed with the need for the committee and directed staff to draft
objectives and a resolution to bring before the Council at the next meeting.

City of Colleyville Page 2
WS-3 Discussion of a Heroes Park Nomination Review Committee
Mayor Newton advised the City Council he would like to take the lead to develop
criteria to be selected for inclusion in Heroes Park. He noted this was once at the
discretion of the Historical Preservation Committee and he would like a more
formalized, sustainable process. With City Council agreement, Mayor Newton will
bring recommendations to the City Council in October for further discussion and
implementation.
WS-4 Discussion of Tinker Road Improvements Project
Public Works Director Ray Silva-Reyes presented this item by giving a recap of the
purpose of this project, which is to provide a safe road with improved surface,
address specific drainage issues, provide pedestrian transportation, and replace
utilities where appropriate. Director Silva-Reyes noted the current
recommendation for the project is to implement a maintenance strategy and
preserve an expansion option for the future. He reviewed the staff recommended
details of the project and sought City Council direction. There were several Tinker
Road residents who asked questions of the City Council and provided input on their
preferences, which included placing a sidewalk on only one side of the road, no
installation of an eight-foot trail on the north side, and to be diligent in removing
as few trees as possible. Following the discussion, City Council directed staff to
collect additional data regarding trees, right-of-way acquisition, and a survey,
which provides the number of houses, mailboxes, and fencing, which will
potentially be impacted and to bring a report to the City Council at a future
meeting.
WS-5 Discussion of the September 7, 2021, City Council regular agenda items
Mayor Newton stated due to an upgrade to the voting software not being
complete, he will call the vote manually for all items on this agenda. He also noted

Session to order.

structure, the projects submittal summary, and the project categories. Mayor
Newton expresses his appreciation and that of the City to Commissioner Fickes for
being a supportive partner and awarding funding to the City.
Mayor Newton and the Councilmembers made the following announcements:
COVID-19 Update – Colleyville’s active positive case count remains steady at
around 200 cases. The hospital and TSA-E statistics have also remained
consistent. I want to call your attention to the two charts from TarrantCounty.com.
The first one is the epidemic curve. It shows a plateau of cases around mid-
August, continuing throughout August, and then sharply decreases the week
ending September 4th. We do not know why this is the case or if it is a trend. It is
the data we have, is good news, and we will continue to monitor. Similarly, this
chart, which is deaths, is very similar and shows a plateau in mid-August followed
by a decline for last week. Further, the City received an email from Tarrant County
Public Health recently that said they are changing first responder notifications for
COVID. Tarrant County Public Health is no longer providing advance notice of
COVID cases to be able to flag in CAD systems. They said, though, that they would
provide notification when Tarrant County Public Health monitors individuals for
exposure to other communicable diseases.

Police Department Personnel Recognition on National Stage – We were
notified by the Department of Justice this week that Detective Prater and Detective
Self have been named separately as finalists for the Attorney General’s Award for
Distinguished Service in Policing. The Attorney General’s Award recognizes
individual state, local, or tribal sworn, rank-and-file police officers and deputies for
exceptional efforts in community policing. Those awarded will have demonstrated
active engagement with the community in one of three areas: criminal
investigations, field operations, or innovations in policing. The Detectives were
nominated separately for their work on the two criminal investigations that
received awards from the International Association of Chiefs of Police. It will be
another five or six weeks before the winners are selected. We continue to be
proud of the exceptional work coming out of the Police Department.
Powerful Response to Military Care Package – This week we received yet
another nice message from a member our armed forces. Sgt. Peter Hilleren sent
the following note extoling the virtues of his connection to Colleyville. It was a
positive reflection of our City and the exceptional service of those who keep our
nation safe. Sgt. Hilleren’s email fills our hearts with pride and appreciation for this
exceptional City and this exceptional nation!
City of Colleyville,
I would just like to say thank you. As a member of the United States
Military, I genuinely appreciate your support. Your care package was a very
nice surprise.

One thing I learned from my dad, early in life, was that where you come
from means something. It helps establish your values, customs, beliefs,
traditions, etc. My family moved to Colleyville in 1997 and my parents still
live there. My dad is a member of the local Lions club, as well as a Citizen on
Patrol (COP). Colleyville is home to me.
America is such a great place. Four deployments overseas have made me
appreciate not only our way of life, but also our freedoms and prosperity.
I'm proud to say that I'm from the great state of Texas, as well as the great
city of Colleyville.

Paying It Forward – A Public Works Operation crew responded to a waterline
leak inside the Tara Subdivision on Wednesday night (9/1) at 10:30 p.m. Upon
further inspection, the waterline leak turned out to be a 10-inch waterline break.
Due to the size of the break on the waterline, it had to be repaired right away. The
Operation crew spent all night repairing the waterline, and finished around 9 a.m.
the next day. Afterwards, management took the crew out for brunch to thank
them for working through the night. The crew chose to eat at Benny’s Café. After
the crew finished eating brunch, we were informed that another table picked up
the tab for the crew. The individual who picked up the tab turned out to be
Professional Golfer, Ryan Palmer. We did not get a chance to thank him for picking
up the tab since he left before we finished eating, but the gesture was appreciated
by the crew. The individuals who worked on the repair were Robbie Pinner, Clinton
Seagroves, Gilberto Rolon, Adrian Atilano, Caesar Nunez, John Bland, and Jon
Escamilla. We appreciate the crew’s efforts to work through the night to make the
necessary repair to the waterline. We are so blessed to have a wonderful public
works crew who is supported by our exceptional residents. Yet another example of
the Colleyville spirit. Thank you to our Public Works crew and thank you Mr.
Palmer.
Building Code Committee Competes Review – For nearly five months, a staff
committee has met on a weekly basis to review the 2015 and 2018 updates to the
International Residential, Commercial (Building), Fire, Energy, Plumbing /
Mechanical / Gas, Electrical and Pool/Spa Code (15 books in all). The committee
will present a recommendation for adoption at the September 21st council
worksession with formal adoption coming at a future council meeting. This
volunteer committee is to be commended for their commitment to this effort.

5. ORDINANCE(S): FIRST READING AND PUBLIC HEARING
5a Ordinance O-21-2168
Consideration of an amendment to the PUD-C Planned Unit Development-
Commercial district, specifically to revise the building elevations on Lot 2,
Block 1, BYD Addition, located at 1109 Glade Road, Case ZC21-017
Mayor Newton read the caption of Ordinance O-21-2168.
Community Development Director Ben Bryner presented this item, which is a
request to amend the PUD-C to provide for new building elevations on the last
remaining lot approved under the 2014 PUD-C.
City Manager Jerry Ducay stated the previously approved ordinance had an exhibit
attached showing the elevations and was referenced in the ordinance to require
the construction to be generally consistent, staff took the position that there was
not a general consistency in the design and therefore required the applicant to go
back through the PUD process. Manager Ducay stated the direction is not a
reflection of the quality of the construction or proposed elevations, he felt the PUD
was clear and would have to be adhered to, or Council would have to consider any
changes before the permit could be issued.
Councilmember Dodson stated there is not an increase in size, only in design, and
it looks reasonable to him.
Mayor Newton asked staff what type of building material would be used. Director
Bryner responded stone, brick, and painted metal.
Mayor Newton opened the public hearing at 9:05 p.m.
Becky Freeman, 1112 Jo Carol, asked the City Council the answer the following
questions regarding the project: is there parking behind the building, where the
trash receptacle would be located, are the windows reflection, what type of
lighting is allows and will there be landscaping.
There were no others wishing to speak and Mayor Newton closed the public
hearing at 9:08 p.m.
Mayor Newton asked the applicant to come forward to answer the questions put
forth by Ms. Freeman. Applicant Doug Skomer, 1105 Glade Road, came forward
and advised the City Council and Ms. Freeman there is no parking behind the
City Council Minutes September 7, 2021
City of Colleyville Page 9
building, the trash receptacles are yard carts taken to the street, not a dumpster
to be serviced, the exterior lights are required at the exterior doors and are coach
lights, and the landscaping will be finished per the PUD. In addressing the window
reflection, Mr. Skomer stated the windows are non-reflective and the building
faces north and south and the stone wall will also reduce any reflection.
Mr. Skomer also stated the entry feature of the building is stucco board with a
metal awning. Councilmember Dodson asked Mr. Skomer why he is using stucco
board instead of stucco. Mr. Skomer replied the stucco board has a warranty of
100 years and is easier to maintain. Upon further questioning, Mr. Skomer clarified
the material he called stucco is actually a Hardy Board product which is a concrete
based product.
There was discussion regarding shrubs and window treatments. Mr. Skomer stated
the windows will not have treatments and the landscaping will be in accordance
with the PUD.
This was a first reading; therefore, Council did not take action.
5b Ordinance O-21-2169
Amending Ordinance O-20-2134 relating to the Fiscal Year 2021 budget
Mayor Newton read the caption of Ordinance O-21-2169.
Finance Director Kyle Lester presented this item, noting the ordinance provides for
the transfer of the FY 2021 operating surpluses to the respective Capital Projects
Fund for future capital projects (General, Utility, and Drainage Funds). He stated
in the event the expenditures in a department exceed the adopted budget for the
department, there would be a transfer of all or part of the unencumbered
appropriation balance from one department to another. He noted there are several
overages in the FY21 budget due to increased IT costs related to videos, events
advertising, increased electricity, phone, first response costs related to winter
storm/pandemic, and legal fees. These overages are minor and will be handled as
described above. There will be a significant operating surplus overall. The City
Manager and Mayor estimates of the surplus range between 1 and 2 million
dollars.
There were no questions.
As there was no one present wishing to speak, Mayor Newton opened and closed
the public hearing at 9:26 p.m.
This was a first reading therefore; City Council did not take any action.

5c Ordinance O-21-2170
Adoption of the proposed Fiscal Year 2022 budget
Mayor Newton read the caption of Ordinance O-21-2170.
Finance Director Kyle Lester presented this item, and provided a history of the
Council’s budget efforts since 2018. He then highlighted the key accomplishments
of this proposed budget, which include the no-new-revenue tax rate for fourth
consecutive year, a balanced budget which demonstrates responsible fiscal
management, and maintains service levels across the City, without cuts. Director
Lester stated the proposed budget aligns expenditures with appropriate funding
sources, and the CIP includes investment in and replacement of the City’s
infrastructure and furthers beautification efforts throughout the community.
Director Lester reviewed property value calculations, the proposed tax rate, and
proposed revenues and expenditures by fund. Director Lester stated the only
variable in the Utility Fund is the Trinity River Authority as we pay for what is
used, but plan for what is proposed.
City Council thanked staff for their work on the budget and meeting the City
Council goals and strategies.
There were no questions.
As there was no one present wishing to speak, Mayor Newton opened and closed
the public hearing at 9:44 p.m.
This was a first reading therefore; City Council did not take any action.
5d Ordinance O-21-2171
Adoption of the Ad Valorem Tax Rate for Fiscal Year 2022
Mayor Newton read the caption of Ordinance O-21-2171.
Finance Director Kyle Lester presented this item and stated for the fourth year in a
row, the Council’s efforts have resulted in the proposal of a no-new revenue tax
rate. The calculated FY2022 no-new-revenue tax rate is $0.291778/$100 valuation
and the proposed tax rate is the same as the no-new-revenue rate. Mayor Newton
stated Colleyville has lead the region in being fiscally conservation and other cities
are now striving for achieving the no-new-revenue- tax rate. However, Colleyville
is the first city to achieve a no-new-revenue-tax rate for four consecutive years.
There were no questions.
As there was no one present wishing to speak, Mayor Newton opened and closed
the public hearing at 9:46 p.m.

An ordinance amending Section 3 - Service Charges of the Water and
Sewer Policy and Procedure Manual as contained in the Code of
Ordinances, to implement updated base rates
Mayor Newton read the caption of Ordinance O-21-2172.
Finance Director Kyle Lester presented this item, and highlighted the history of the
Water and Wastewater Rate Advisory Committee’s work and implementation for
rate establishment and CIP funds. Director Lester stated approval of this ordinance
would provide for using the funding model proposed by the Water and Wastewater
Rate Advisory Committee, which met August 24, 2020, to increase the current

6. ORDINANCE(S): SECOND READING AND PUBLIC HEARING
6a Ordinance O-21-2167
Approval of a negotiated settlement between the Atmos Cities Steering
Committee and Atmos Energy Corp., Mid-Tex Division regarding the
company's 2021 Rate Review Mechanism filing and adopting tariffs
reflecting rate adjustments consistent with the negotiated settlement
Mayor Newton read the caption of Ordinance O-21-2167.
Assistant City Manager Adrienne Lothery presented this item by providing a recap
of the Steering Committee (ACSC) and the Rate Review Mechanism (RRM). She
stated in early April Atmos filed a rate request pursuant to the RRM Tariff adopted
by ACSC members. Atmos claimed its cost-of-service in the test year ending
December 31, 2020, entitled Atmos to additional system-wide revenues of $43.4
million. Application of the standards set forth in ACSC’s RRM Tariff required Atmos
to reduce its request to $40.5 million, $29.3 million of which would be applicable
to ACSC members. ACSC’s consultants concluded the system-wide deficiency
under the RRM regime should be $22.34 million instead of the claimed $40.5
million. The amount of the $22.34 million deficiency applicable to ACSC members
would be $16.8 million. After Atmos reviewed the ACSC consultant’s report,
ACSC’s Executive Committee and the Company negotiated a settlement whereby
Atmos would receive an increase of $22.78 million from ACSC cities, but with a
two-month delay in the effective date until December 1, 2021, saving ratepayers
approximately $3.8 million.
There were no questions however, Councilmember Dodson stated he does not
agree with the ordinance, but knows it must be passed.
As there was no one present wishing to speak, Mayor Newton opened and closed
the public hearing at 10:13 p.m.
Councilmember Kelley made a motion to approve Ordinance O-21-2167,
seconded by Councilmember Dodson.

their client for many years, and he feels he is an honest person who will abide by
the regulations.
Mayor Newton stated he and the Council appreciate the comments made and the
history on the evolution of the property. He noted only one house can be located
