3. ANNOUNCEMENTS, PROCLAMATIONS, AND PRESENTATIONS
Announcements of civic and charitable events
Presentation of calendar events and updates
Announcements of awards and recognition
Mayor Newton and the City Council made the following announcements:
COVID-19 Update – Colleyville has 264 active positive cases. Colleyville
continues to maintain a high vaccination rate for our total population at 68%
vaccinated. The Tarrant County Epidemic curve shown on the screen shows that
new infections are on the decline. At the last meeting, we had an indication that
we were starting a down turn, but this data demonstrates it. That is very good
news. Also, the death curve is showing the same downward trend as the epidemic
curve. Tarrant County beds occupied by COVID patients is 23% and the Tarrant
County bed availability is 12%. This means that 65% of all Tarrant County hospital
beds are in use for reasons other than COVID. Tarrant County Health still has the
community spread level at “high”.
Sales Tax Continues Positive Trend – The Texas Comptroller’s Office has
posted the most recent sales tax allocation information for September,
representing all receipts from purchases made in July of this year. It is exciting to
report that our most recent collection came in at 18.9% over July of FY20, putting
our year-to-date growth at 14.1%. In terms of dollars, this represents a total YTD
gain of $954,000 over last year.
It also bears noting that this month marks the 16th consecutive month in which
Colleyville has posted sales tax gains over the previous year. With only two
months left in the fiscal year, we are likely to exceed last year’s collections by well
over $1 million. Later tonight, our Finance Director will provide additional
City Council Minutes September 21, 2021
City of Colleyville Page 4
background on sales tax comparisons in our region. We thank all those who
continue SHOP COLLEYVILLE!
FEMA New Floodplain Maps Formal Review Underway – On July 30, 2021,
FEMA published official notice that a 90-day appeal period is underway in
anticipation of the new floodplain map publication in November. Once published,
the new map is to be adopted by our City within six months. Staff has reviewed
the new maps and determined that 297 properties within Colleyville will see a
change in the floodplain designation for their property. Of those identified, 175 are
minor in nature, only affecting a small segment of the property. These minor
impact changes will likely not result in the property owner being required to
purchase flood insurance. The remaining 122 parcels will see significant changes
to the floodplain designations on their property.
Staff mailed a letter to all 297-property owners and invited them to a public
meeting at the Colleyville Center on September 23 at 6 p.m. This event is
intended to provide information to property owners regarding their appeal rights
with FEMA. Additionally, staff will share the comments collected at this event with
FEMA representatives at a subsequent meeting. Please feel free to join us for this
public meeting.
Chamber Golf Outing & Colleyville All Stars – The annual Chamber of
Commerce golf tournament, co-chaired by Mark Wood, was held yesterday
September 20. Each year, the City receives several teams with our sponsorship of
the tournament, and we utilize the teams to reward our staff All Stars with a fun
day of golf. This year, we have 16 All Stars who have gone above and beyond in
their work for the City. These individuals are nominated by their department. This
year’s City’s All Stars are:
Braden Fargo – Fire Jennifer Newman – Finance
Brian Myers – Public Works Pablo Reyes – Colleyville Center
Aaron Gunther – Municipal Court Nathan Demchuk – Public Works
Clay Williams – Police Mike Knowles – Parks
Garrett Rigsby – Fire Jackie Reyff – Community Development
Josiah Kamppi – Police Mike Almy – Parks
Carlisha Mitchell – ISM Jesse Franks – Video Production

Gift Card Update – Gift card redemptions appear to be coming to an end. To
date, 7712 - $35 gift cards have been redeemed ($269,920) and 484 - $50 cards.
We are proud to have partnered with our citizens to bring this economic
development initiative to our brick-and-mortar businesses. This effort has injected
nearly $270,000 directly into our local business community. Thank you for
shopping Colleyville and supporting our businesses!

Police Chief Michael Miller presented item 4b and reviewed the services of each
City and the budgetary impact. Chief Miller stated the partnership with all the
involved cities is strong and staff recommends approval.
Mayor Newton recapped the presentation given by Chief Miller and noted the City
of Colleyville provides court services for the City of Keller. Councilmember Dodson
noted there is tremendous savings with the ILA and Chief Miller added there is
increased education and information sharing.
Assistant City Manager Adrienne Lothery presented item 4c noting this is the fifth
and final renewal of the contract with Whitmore and Sons. Manager Lothery
provided a review of services and cost since 2017 and stated staff recommends
approval.
There were no questions, but it was noted landscaping throughout the City is very
nice and well maintained.
Assistant City Manager Adrienne Lothery presented item 4d which provides for
construction administration and observation services by MESA for the SH26
Gateways project. Manager Lothery explained each element of the agreement and
noted third party oversight of the construction of the towers is very specialized
and outside of the professional expertise of the City's building inspection and
construction management staff.
There were no questions however, Mayor Pro Tem Lindamood noted the TIF is
funding this agreement and the construction of the towers, and no tax dollars are
being used.
City Engineer Larry Wright presented item 4d and explained in order to plan for
Colleyville’s long-term needs, the City’s comprehensive Capital Improvement Plan
(CIP) is updated each year as a part of the annual budget process. The CIP
provides an opportunity to consider all of the City’s capital needs in the coming
years and to determine the priority of each, as well as whether available funding
resources are sufficient to support those expenditures. He stated the CIP operates
City Council Minutes September 21, 2021
City of Colleyville Page 7
on a multi-year basis and utilizes a variety of funding sources, both from the City
and other entities. Engineer Wright noted staff presented the draft FY 2022-2026
CIP to the City Council for discussion and comment at the July 6, 2021, City
Council Worksession and the FY 2022-2026 CIP document includes projected
beginning and ending available balances for each year and each funding source. In
addition to estimated expenditures for each fiscal year, estimates for anticipated
revenues that add to available funding have also been included. He reviewed every
project and stated approval directs staff to begin working on year one (FY 2022)
projects, but individual contracts for projects will be brought forward for City
Council approval in accordance with the City's purchasing policy.
There was brief discussion regarding implementing an adhoc citizen committee to
recommend to City Council a CIP fee, the fiber optic program, Senior Center
renovation, and justice center pond.
Mayor Newton stated the five-year plan is updated annually and all projects are
paid in cash. He also recognized the Public Works Department for creating an
interactive map which tracts all the ongoing projects and is available of the City’s
website.
As there was no one present wishing to speak, Mayor Newton opened and closed
the public hearing at 8:47 p.m.

5. ITEMS NOT FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
5a Monthly Financial Report - August 2021
Finance Director Kyle Lester presented the report noting through August, the
General Fund collected 97% of budgeted revenue and spent 88% of budgeted
expenditures. Cash flow remains ahead of where anticipated and very close to last
August's position. Due to legislation passed during the last legislative session as
well as a weak fixed income market, franchise tax revenue and interest income are
the only weaker spots in the revenue profile. In total, the Fund's surplus amounts
to $2.8 million, excluding the $3.3 million in CARES act money the City received
this month.
City Council Minutes September 21, 2021
City of Colleyville Page 8
This report provides for the tenth collection of the year from July's sales, and it
brought in an increase of 18.9% over July of last year. This makes the total YTD
growth at 14.1% over FY20, and makes for a total dollar gain of $954,000.
Director Lester reported statewide, Texas cities saw another month of double-digit
gains for a total fiscal year increase of 11.6%. DFW cities fared better with an
average monthly increase of 25.5%, yielding a total average year-to-date increase
of 14.2%. Destination-based economies such as Hurst and Grapevine are
beginning to turn around.
The Utility Fund through the eleventh month of the fiscal year has collected 80%
of its budgeted revenue and spent 69% of its budgeted expenditures. The surplus
of $2 million is stronger than last year due to the strong true-up refund from the
Trinity River Authority, which will pass on to the cash-funded capital improvement
plan at the end of the year. The City's direct costs are outpacing its revenues
(electricity costs from the winter storm and higher repairs/meter replacements are
some main drivers). Additionally, due mostly to low investment earnings and not
charging for penalties through most of this year, the utility's revenues are tracking
below budget. Current projections indicate some fund balance for the operational
costs will have to be utilized this year. However, this appears to be an issue
unique to this year.
The Drainage Utility Fund has received 95% of its budgeted revenue and spent
87% of its budgeted expenditures. This fund's cash flow is tracking lower than last
year due primarily to increased payroll costs from a position that was reallocated
to this fund as well as overtime costs and temporary help. The current surplus of
$218,000 represents a $26,000 increase from last month. Drainage fee revenues
tend to average 1.2% higher than the previous fiscal year, although at this point
there is less than 1% growth for FY21. Any year-end surplus in this fund will be
moved to the Drainage Capital Fund for use in the City's Capital Improvement
Plan.
Mayor Newton made note of the current $2,860,000 surplus in the General Fund
and asked Director Lester how much of the money will be utilized before the end
of the year. Director Lester stated he believes approximately $1.2 million, which
would conservatively leave a $1.5 million surplus. Mayor Newton noted the surplus
will be placed in the FY22 Capital Improvement Project Fund.
6. ORDINANCE(S): SECOND READING AND PUBLIC HEARING
6a Ordinance O-21-2168
Consideration of an amendment to the PUD-C Planned Unit Development-
Commercial district established by Ordinance O-14-1927, to provide for
revised building elevation drawings 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.
City Council Minutes September 21, 2021
City of Colleyville Page 9
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.
Mayor Newton recapped the questions from residents at the first reading and
noted the applicant had answered all the questions regarding parking, trash
receptacles, exterior lighting, windows, and construction materials.
Doug Skimmer, representing the applicant, 1620 South Fork Drive NRH, provided
a brief presentation, showing elevation views from the residence perspective. He
also stated trash cans are yard carts stored on a pad and moved to the street for
pickup, there are no dumpsters and there will be no trash trucks behind the
building. He also addressed the lighting, wall, landscaping, and windows.
Mayor Pro Tem Lindamood asked for clarification regarding the number of lights
on the back of the building. Mr. Skimmer stated there are two lights; one is on the
back of the building, the other on the side. Councilmember Dodson stated at the
last meeting the use of stucco was mentioned, but to be clear, a Hardy plank
(cementco sheet) will be used and it has a 100-year warranty.
Mayor Newton opened the public hearing at 9:21 p.m.
Lisa Peterson, 1104 Jo Carroll, stated the previous developer did not meet the
fencing and landscaping expectations and she is concerned this will occur again.
Mayor Newton explained the landscape exhibit is a part of the ordinance and will
be required to be completed as provided for in the exhibit. Failure to do so will
cause the developer to be out of compliance and be subject to a fine of $2,000 per
day. Mayor Newton also explained the applicant is before the City Council because
he wanted to change the appearance of the building, which was previously
approved by another ordinance. In order to change the look of the building, the
applicant had to go back through the approval process with the Planning and
Zoning Commission and the City Council, but will still have to meet all the
conditions of the PUD-C.
There were no others wishing to speak and Mayor Newton closed the public
hearing at 9:26 p.m.
Councilmember Kelley made a motion to approve Ordinance O-21-2168,
seconded by Councilmember Dodson.
The motion to approve carried by the following vote:
Ayes: 6 - Mayor Newton, Mayor Pro Tem Lindamood, and Councilmembers
Wheat, Dodson, Kelley, and Rigney.

staff is in the lobby to assist with a Webex connection or assistance to

6b 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.
Mayor Newton noted Director Lester is estimating a surplus of $.5 million and he is
estimating a $2 million surplus.
As there was no one present wishing to speak, Mayor Newton opened and closed
the public hearing at 9:31 p.m.
Councilmember Dodson made a motion to approve Ordinance O-21-2169,
seconded by Councilmember Wheat.
The motion to approve carried by the following vote:
Ayes: 6 - Mayor Newton, Mayor Pro Tem Lindamood, and Councilmembers
Wheat, Dodson, Kelley, and Rigney.
Absent: 1 – Councilmember Nakamura

City Council Minutes September 21, 2021
City of Colleyville Page 11
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 includes 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, noting the average property
value has increased over $22,000, but the proposed tax rate, which is the no-new
revenue tax rate, will keep the average property tax bill flat. He also reviewed the
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.
Mayor Newton stated the City has conducted a drainage study to determine where
there are drainage issues and we are in the process of figuring out how to adjust
the drainage fee everyone pays monthly for drainage to match the needs and this
is why there is currently a surplus in the drainage fund. We are about to pass a
budget and this is a balanced budget; we will never pass an unbalanced budget.
Mayor Newton encouraged everyone to pay attention to the budget because it is
so important to understanding where the money is spent.
There were no questions.

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 to achieve the no-new-revenue- tax rate. However, Colleyville is
the first City to achieve a no-new-revenue-tax rate for four consecutive years.
Mayor Newton stated it is very difficult to pass a no-new-tax revenue. This City
Council and staff have accomplished this for the fourth year because the City is
run not as a bureaucratic government, but as a small business. We reevaluate
needs every year, we look at our strategies and objectives, and set priorities
based on citizen wants.
Mayor Newton stated it is important for the public to understand the budget and
tax rate as not all cities operate like Colleyville. Mayor Newton stated this Council
has established a Tax Rate Setting Policy, which states we will begin each fiscal
year at the no-new-revenue tax rate and fully justify any revenue needed beyond
it.
Mayor Newton thanked the staff and Council for all their efforts and work in
accomplishing this no-new-revenue-tax rate for the fourth year in a row.
Councilmember Dodson added we have also been able to accomplish this in a
COVID year when there were so many challenges. He also noted the staff seeking
grants is admirable and has made a difference.
