Mayor Bobby Lindamood called the Colleyville City Council Worksession to order on
Tuesday, December 19, 2023, at 5:34 p.m.
ROLL CALL: Mayor Bobby Lindamood, Mayor Pro Tem Callie Rigney, and

WS-1 Discussion regarding a referendum question to be added to the May 4,
2024 General Election ballot
Assistant City Manager Mark Wood reviewed completed projects and timing for
remaining projects in Phase 1 of the Recreation Center which was funded with
$1.5 million in existing bond funding. He then reviewed the feedback regarding
amenities at the Recreation Center which was received from residents, the Parks
and Recreation Advisory Board, and City Council. Manager Wood noted any
additional amenities above Phase 1 would have to be budgeted for over a period of
years or potentially be financed through bonds.
Manager Wood provided potential ballot language for a referendum question which
could be added to the May 4, 2024 General Election ballot. The referendum
question would pose a yes or no answer to the question, “Should the City of
Colleyville place a proposition on a future election ballot asking the City’s voters to
authorize the issuance of ad valorem tax bonds for expansion of the Colleyville
Recreation Center, which may include a fitness center, locker room, indoor track,
and multi-use field?”
Following discussion, the City Council directed staff to place the question on the
May ballot and noted this would allow another opportunity for residents to voice
their opinions regarding the amenities at the Recreation Center.
WS-2 Discussion of corner lot fence regulations
Community Development Director Ben Bryner stated in late November, City
Council had directed staff to prepare possible text changes to the Land
City Council Minutes December 19, 2023
City of Colleyville Page 2
Development Code (LDC) with regard to regulations for fences on corner lots.
Specifically, the Council wanted to review options for non-opaque fences, and
whether they should be allowed to encroach into the street side yard setback. He
reviewed current LDC language, and suggested language to address the corner
side yard setbacks.
City Council directed staff to proceed with taking the proposed changes to the
Planning and Zoning Council for review and comment.
WS-3 Discussion of Old Grove pond
City Engineer Larry Wright provided a review of the current condition of the
detention pond in Old Grove Subdivision and the previous anticipated cost to
rehabilitate the pond. Engineer Wright noted the Engineering Department had
performed a topographic survey to identify slope and erosion issues, and a grading
plan design to make the slopes accessible to residents and reduce erosion. By
doing so, staff devised a rehabilitation and beautification plan for the pond which
would be cost effective, and the work will be performed by the Public Works
Department.
The City Council thanked Engineer Wright and the Public Works Department for
their commitment to efficiency and cost savings.
