COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
From: The Office of the Town Manager Date: 8-15-2005
Subject: Agenda Item No.D.1
Discuss and take appropriate action regarding a potential pilot program to
designate a three quarter mile section of Trophy Club Drive between Oak Hill and
Meadow Creek as one lane with a shoulder to provide traffic calming and establish
an area of the road where normal motor vehicle travel would be prohibited, but
parking would be maintained.
EXPLANATION:
The issue of designating Trophy Club Drive and Indian Creek Drive as one lane or two lanes by
traffic marking has been discussed many times since the Town’s incorporation. In addition, the
lack of sidewalks for pedestrians to travel has also spurred passionate debate. At the request of
the Public Safety Advisory Group and with the support of the Public Works Advisory Group,
research has been conducted on the various options available to address these issues.
The research that proceeded these options included, but was not limited to studying the Pathway
Plan developed in 1998, conferring with the Town engineer, researching American Association
of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) and Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA) guidelines for pedestrian traffic, pavement markings and traffic signage as well as
visiting other cities to see how they have addressed similar issues. In addition, staff has received
input from residents including, but not limited to members of the Advisory Groups.
This research led the Advisory Groups to offer four options for Indian Creek Drive & Trophy
Club Drive.
1. Install sidewalks
2. Mark and sign a bike path in which normal traffic would be prohibited to travel
3. Designate and mark a shoulder with ceramic buttons
4. Do nothing leaving the traffic lanes unmarked
Option 1
Install sidewalks – This option is preferable for the walkers, but would be costly and would be
invasive to the residents whose homes abut these roads. The estimated cost to install sidewalks
on only one side of three quarters of a mile of roadway is estimated at $260,000 and includes the
installation of ADA compliant ramps at each intersection and driveway approach.
9
Option 2
Mark and sign a path in which normal traffic would be prohibited to travel - American
Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) and Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA) provide guidelines for pavement markings and signs that denote bicycle
lanes on the roadways. Parking areas would be designated and striped in front of the homes
facing Trophy Club Drive to ensure that residents maintain the ability to park in front of their
homes.
The purpose of the striping would not be to regulate walkers or bikers, but to provide an area of
the road that vehicles are not permitted to travel under normal circumstances. In this concept,
the traffic lane would be at least 17.5 feet wide with a 6-foot shoulder where normal traffic
would be prohibited on the roadway. See Figure 1 below.
In areas where homes face the roadway and parallel parking will be provided, the motor vehicle
traffic lane will be at least 11.5 feet with a 7-foot parallel parking lane designated at the curb and
a 5-foot area for pedestrian and bike traffic. See Figure 2 below. Figure 3 illustrates the
pavement design with marking and signage
Deliveries including mail and trash pick up would be still be permitted to pull up to the curb. The
cost for this option on a three quarter mile section of Trophy Club Drive would be approximately
$25,000.

Figure 2
Figure 3
11
Option 3
Designate and mark a shoulder – This option would include the installation of ceramic buttons
to designate the roadways as one lane with a shoulder that traffic would not regularly travel in.
The buttons would be installed at 4-foot intervals with every fifth button to be reflective. In
addition a cross strip of reflective and non-reflective buttons would be installed at a 45 degree
angle every 15 feet to further remind drivers that the lane is not for normal vehicle traffic. The
raised surface of these buttons would notify drivers if they move into this area. Parking on the
street would remain as it is now. The shoulder would be 8-foot wide to allow pedestrians the
ability to pass a normal size vehicle and still remain on the shoulder.
This is an option that other area cities are currently utilizing. The images that follow are from
North Richland Hills and were added as a traffic calming measure after a pedestrian fatality.
Figure 4 is a drawing of the basic design, Figure 5 shows the shoulder markings, Figure 6 is a
mail truck stopped within a 6-foot shoulder and Figure 7 depicts a wider 10-foot shoulder.
The cost for this option is approximately $12,000 for the recommended three quarter mile test
section.

Option 4
Do Nothing – This would leave these roads as is and while they are not stipulated for 2-lane
traffic would likely still travel in that manner because it is not specifically prohibited. Walkers
and bike riders would continue to compete with motor vehicle traffic.
15
RECOMMENDATION:
The Public Safety and Public Works Advisory Groups recommend a six-month pilot program of
Option 3, which would use ceramic buttons to designate a section of Trophy Club Drive as one
lane.
Trophy Club Drive was selected because of its high visibility and limited area for the pilot. If
Council decides to proceed, under the pilot program, the lane would remain in place for
approximately six months to give residents the opportunity to utilize and experience the concept
in a limited area.
If the residents respond favorably by either survey or referendum, Phase II would proceed with
the marking of the remaining areas of Indian Creek and Trophy Club Drive where the road is not
currently designated as two lanes in each direction. The area of Trophy Club Drive between
Durango and Marshall Creek Road would also be excluded because the road is not wide enough
to support a shoulder.
Phase III would be the connection of the striped paths with sidewalks and would potentially be
funded by a pathway grant.
If resident opinion received by survey or referendum is not favorable, the buttons would be
removed and the lanes returned to their original state at the end of the pilot period.

Subject: Agenda Item No.D.3
Discuss and take appropriate action regarding an Ordinance repealing Ordinance
No. 2001-02, in its entirety, and adopting a new Ordinance relating to the dedication
of park land and open space.
EXPLANATION: The body of the Park Land Dedication Ordinance represents current
standards for keeping with quality of life needs in the areas of parks and recreation. The
document itself is very standardized in language, with only the methodology figures being varied
to suit the individual requirements of each city or town.

requirements that are roughly proportionate to the park land requirements generated by build-out
population numbers.

TOWN OF TROPHY CLUB, TEXAS
ORDINANCE NO. 2001- 02
AN ORDINANCE OF THE TOWN OF TROPHY CLUB, TEXAS,
REPEALING ORDINANCE NOS. 94-01 AND 99-12 RELATING TO THE
DEDICATION OF PARK LAND AND OPEN SPACE; AND ADOPTING
PROVISIONS REQUIRING THE DEDICATION OF PARK LAND PRIOR
TO A SUBDIVISION PLAT APPROVAL BY THE PLANNING AND
ZONING COMMISSION AND THE TOWN COUNCIL; PROVIDING
FOR PAYMENT OF CASH IN LIEU OF RESERVATION OF OPEN
SPACE OR PARK AND RECREATIONAL AREAS; PROVIDING FOR
THE MAINTENANCE OF DEDICATED PARK LAND; PROVIDING A
SEVERABILITY CLAUSE; PROVIDING A REPEALER CLAUSE;
PROVIDING A CUMULATIVE CLAUSE; PROVIDING FOR
ENGROSSMENT AND ENROLLMENT; PROVIDING FOR
PUBLICATION; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, the Town Council of the Town of Trophy Club, Texas (the “Town”) is
empowered under Texas Local Government Code '54.001 to do all acts and make all regulations
which may be necessary or expedient for the promotion of the public health, safety and general
welfare, and
WHEREAS, the Town Council seeks to require the dedication of park land to be
designated upon any proposed subdivision plat prior to approval of such plat by the Town
Council; and
WHEREAS, the necessary park land dedication must meet certain minimum area and
character requirements; and
WHEREAS, the Town Council desires to allow a developer to pay cash in lieu of land
dedication, subject to Town Council approval and acceptance.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE
TOWN OF TROPHY CLUB, TEXAS:
SECTION 1.
INCORPORATION OF PREAMBLE
The above and foregoing preamble is incorporated into the body of this Ordinance as if
copied herein in its entirety.
67
SECTION 2.
PURPOSE
The requirements for open spaces, park and recreational areas contained in this
Ordinance are intended to ensure that there will be sufficient land dedicated or otherwise set
aside in new residential developments in the Town of Trophy Club to meet the demands and
needs of the future residents of the development for open space and neighborhood parks,
containing passive or active recreational areas that are reasonably attributable to such
development.
A. In determining the size of the parcel, or parcels, that should be set aside and reserved in
the manner set out in this Ordinance, the Town Council has taken as a benchmark the
standards of the National Recreation and Park Association.
B. It is the policy of the Town, that when land is dedicated or otherwise set aside and
reserved for open space and park and recreational areas, such land should be in close
proximity to the residential development it is designed to serve and shall be of such
size, character, and dimensions as is necessary to provide usable open space and park
and recreational areas.
SECTION 3.
CHARACTER AND MINIMUM AREA
A. Land dedicated or otherwise set aside for open space and park and recreational areas
shall be of such size, dimensions, topography, and general character as is reasonably
required for the type of use proposed, e.g., open space buffer, active recreation for team
or individual sports, playground, tot lot, picnic area, etc.
B. Unique natural areas or flood plains which provide an opportunity for linkage parks
may be included in areas dedicated or otherwise set aside or reserved for open space.
C. The minimum amount of open space and park recreational area that shall be dedicated
or otherwise reserved pursuant to this Ordinance shall be ten (10) acres per 1,000 of
total projected Town population. For purposes of determining population, 2.87 people
per dwelling unit shall be used.
D. Any land dedicated to the Town under this Ordinance must be suitable for park and
recreation uses. The following characteristics of a proposed area are generally
unsuitable unless recommended in the Master Plan:
1) Any area primarily located in the 100-year floodway; or
2) Any areas of unusual topography or slope which render the area unusable for park
and recreational activities.
68
The above characteristics of a park land dedication area may be grounds for refusal of
any preliminary or final plat.
E. Drainage areas may be accepted as part of a neighborhood park if the channel is
constructed in accordance with Town engineering standards and if no significant area of
the park is cut off from access by such channel. If land is dedicated which is in the
floodway fringe, but not including the floodway, then it counts as one-half (2) of the
required area as set forth in Subsection 3(C).
F. Each park shall have access to a public street.
G. All park land dedication shall be consistent with the standards as set forth in the Master
Plan.
SECTION 4.
MINIMUM SIZE
No land dedicated or otherwise reserved in compliance with this Ordinance shall have
dimensions smaller than one (1) acre. In any development which includes wooded areas, flood
plains, or other natural amenities which are desirable to maintain, the Town Council may grant
an exception from the strict application of these minimum dimensions whenever it determines
that by doing so the protection and preservation of such areas will be promoted.
SECTION 5.
PLATTING REQUIREMENTS
A. Whenever a final plat is filed on record with the County Clerk of Denton County for
development of a residential area in accordance with the Subdivision and Zoning
Ordinance of the Town, such plat shall contain a clear fee simple dedication of an area
of land as designated by this Ordinance. Any proposed plat submitted to the Town for
approval shall show the area proposed to be dedicated.
B. The Planning and Zoning Commission shall have a plat review meeting regarding the
proposed land donation prior to it being submitted to the Town Council. Any land
dedicated or otherwise reserved under this Ordinance for open space or park and
recreational areas shall be shown on a plat submitted for approval by the Planning and
Zoning Commission and Town Council. Upon approval, said plat shall be filed with the
County Clerk of Denton County.
C. The Town Council may, upon application by a developer, or other person or firm with a
legal interest in the land to be developed, allow the open spaces and park and
recreational areas required by this Ordinance to be restricted to the use and enjoyment
of the residents of the particular development or subdivision. The Town Council may
grant such request whenever it finds:
69
1) That the open space and park and recreational areas required by the Ordinance
cannot be effectively and efficiently integrated into the public park system of the
Town;
2) That the open space and park and recreational needs of the residents of the
development or subdivision can be supplied by the reservation of private open
spaces and recreational areas at least as adequately as by the dedication of public
park land; and
3) That the developer or subdivider has complied, or will comply, with the
requirements of Section 6 of this Ordinance. Such open space and park and
recreational areas shall be clearly noted on the plat or master development plan as
“Private Open Space” or “Private Recreational Land” at the time of submission to
the Town for action by the Planning and Zoning Commission and Town Council.
SECTION 6.
PAYMENT OF CASH IN LIEU OF RESERVATION OF
OPEN SPACE OR PARK AND RECREATIONAL AREAS
A. A payment of cash in lieu of reservation of open space or park land or recreational land,
that is equal to the fair market value of the land that would be required to be dedicated
or otherwise reserved for open space or park and recreational area pursuant to this
Ordinance, will be required:
1) In any case in which the land required to be dedicated or otherwise reserved by this
Ordinance would be less than one (1) acre, or
2) If it is determined by the Town Council that the park and recreational needs of a
proposed development would be better served by the expansion or improvement of
an existing park, or,
3) A developer or subdivider may, with the consent of the Town Council, as an
alternative to, and in lieu of, dedicating or otherwise reserving land for open space
or park and recreational purposes, pay the aforesaid sum to the Town of Trophy
Club. Said payment shall be made within ten (10) days of the time of final plat
recording.
B. All such payments shall be:
1) Segregated in a separate fund and used only for the acquisition and improvements
of open space and park and recreational areas within the Town of Trophy Club that
will meet the needs of the residents of the development or subdivision in respect
which such payment was made;
2) Expended on the acquisition or improvements of open space or park land that is
within the jurisdiction of the Town of Trophy Club; and
70
3) If not expended, or unconditionally committed to be expended, within ten (10)
years of receipt, the developer or subdivider shall be entitled to a refund of the
amount paid upon written request by the developer or subdivider. Such request
must be filed with the Town Secretary within one (1) year after the right to such
refund arises. If such request is not made in writing within the one (1) year period,
then such right shall be barred.
C. Fair Market Value Determined. For purposes of this Ordinance, the fair market value of
land shall be determined by:
1) Taking the fair market value of one (1) acre of land, derived from the average of
three separate undeveloped acre parcels of land within Trophy Club that are
deemed to be comparable to the land being subdivided.
2) Unimproved land shall mean land that has not been platted nor developed.
D. The owner, developer or subdivider of a proposed subdivision shall have the right to
appeal the fair market value determination to the Town Council within ten (10) days
after the date of filing of the preliminary plat with the Town, by filing with the Town
Secretary a written appeal and stating therein the reasons and basis for the appeal. The
Town Council shall act on the appeal within thirty (30) days after the date of approval
or disapproval of the preliminary plat by the Planning and Zoning Commission. The
action of the Town Council shall be final.
SECTION 7.
MAINTENANCE
If the open space and recreational areas required by this Ordinance are to remain
private, such areas shall be maintained by and deeded to a homeowners' association, or to a
trustee.
A. No plat or master development plan containing a reservation of private open space and
recreational areas shall be approved until the applicant shall have filed with the
Planning and Zoning Commission a declaration of the covenants and restrictions that
will govern such association or trustee, and received approval of the same from the
Planning and Zoning Commission and the Town Council.
B. Such instrument shall be approved by the City Attorney as to legal form and effect and
by the Planning and Zoning Commission as to the suitability of the proposed use of the
proposed open space and recreational areas.
C. The covenants and restrictions, when submitted, shall provide for the following:
1) that the homeowner’s association or trust shall be established prior to the sale of
any part of the property;
71
2) that open space restrictions and maintenance shall be permanent;
3) that the homeowners are liable for the payment of maintenance fees and capital

SECTION 1.
INCORPORATION OF PREMISES
The above and foregoing premises are true and correct and are incorporated herein and
made a part hereof for all purposes.
SECTION 2.
PURPOSE
This article is adopted to provide recreational areas in the form of neighborhood parks as a
function of subdivision development in the Town. This article is enacted in
accordance with the home rule powers of the Town, granted under the state
constitution, and the statutes of the state including, but not by way of
limitation, V.T.C.A., Local Government Code § 54.004, and ch. 212. It is
hereby declared by the Town Council that recreational areas in the form of
neighborhood parks are necessary and in the public welfare, and that the only
adequate procedure to provide for neighborhood parks is by integrating such a
requirement into the procedure for planning and developing property or
subdivision in the Town, whether such development consists of new
construction on vacant land or rebuilding and remodeling of structures on
existing residential property.
Neighborhood parks are those parks providing for a variety of outdoor recreational
opportunities and within convenient distances from a majority of the residences
to be served thereby. The primary cost of neighborhood parks should be borne
by the ultimate residential property owners who, by reason of the proximity of
their property to such parks, shall be the primary beneficiaries of such
facilities. Therefore, this article is adopted to effect the purposes stated.

A. Whenever a Final Plat is filed on record with the county clerk of Denton or Tarrant
County for development of a residential area in accordance with the planning and zoning
ordinances of the Town, such plat shall contain a clear fee simple dedication of an area of
land to the Town for park purposes, which area shall equal one (1) acres for every 51
proposed dwelling units.
B. The Town Council declares that development of an area smaller than five (5) acres for
public park purposes is impractical. Therefore, if fewer than 255 dwelling units are
proposed by a plat filed for approval, the developer shall be required to pay the applicable
cash in lieu of land amount provided by Section 4, rather than to dedicate any land area.
No plat showing a dedication for park purposes of less than five (5) acres shall be
approved.
C. In all other instances, the Town shall have the right to accept the dedication for approval
on the final plat, or to refuse the dedication, after consideration of the recommendation of
the planning and zoning commission and the Parks and Recreation Director, and to
76
require payment of cash in lieu of land in the amount provided by Section 4, if the Town
determines that sufficient park area is already in the public domain in the area of the
proposed development, or if the recreation potential in the area of the proposed would be
better served by expanding or improving existing parks.
SECTION 4.
MONEY IN LIEU OF LAND
Where Town Council determines that a payment of money in lieu of land shall be made,
the following provisions shall apply.
A. Amount Required to be Paid:
1. Any payment of money required to be paid by this Ordinance shall be in an
amount equal to the average per acre value of the whole property included within
the residential development. The acquisition price for land shall be equal to the
appraised value of the land existing in effect at the time of Final Plat approval.
2. In determining the average per acre value of the total land included within the
proposed residential development, the Town Council may base its determination
on one or more of the following:
a. The most recent appraisal of all or part of the property made by the central
appraisal district; or
b. Confirmed sale prices of all or part of the property to be developed, or
comparable property in close proximity thereof, which have occurred
within two (2) years immediately proceeding the date of determination; or
c. Where, in the judgment of the Town Council, (i) or (ii) above would not,
because of changed conditions, be a reliable indication of the then current
value of land being developed, an independent appraisal of the whole
property shall be obtained by the Town and paid for by the developer.
SECTION 5.
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
A. Any land dedicated to the Town under this article must be suitable for park and recreation
uses. The following characteristics of a proposed area are generally unsuitable:
1. Any area primarily located in the 100-year floodplain.
2. Any areas of unusual topography or slope which renders same unusable for
organized recreational activities.
77
Such characteristics of a park land dedication area may be grounds for refusal of any
preliminary plat.
B. Land listed in paragraph A of this Section may be accepted by the Town Council,
provided that suitable land in the proper amount is dedicated which is contiguous with the
unsuitable land.
C. Drainage areas may be accepted as part of a park if the channel is constructed in
accordance with Town engineering standards, and if no significant area of the park is cut
off from access by such channel.
D. Each park must have ready access to a public street.
E. Unless provided otherwise in this section, an action by the Town shall be by the Town
Council, after consideration of the recommendations of the planning and zoning
commission and the Parks and Recreation Director and his recommendation to the Town
Council.
SECTION 6.
CREDIT FOR CONVEYANCE OF FLOODPLAINS
A. In cases where floodplain land or property is proposed for conveyance to satisfy the park
land requirements, a credit will be given upon the following criteria:
1. Three (3) acres of floodplain shall be equal to one (1) acre of non-floodplain.
SECTION 7.
MINIMUM PARK IMPROVEMENTS
A. In cases where land dedication is chosen, the following minimum criteria must be
adhered to by the developer, at the developer expense, prior to acceptance of the
improvements by the Town. The Developer shall:
1. Grade and clear unwanted vegetation, to be determined by the Town;
2. Provide water and sewer service to the site.
SECTION 8.
BIENNIAL REVIEW
Prior to one (1) year after the effective date of this Ordinance, the Parks & Recreation

of land, as required by this Ordinance, to begin, or allow any other person or contractor to begin,

construct a number of dwelling units in excess of the number dwelling units for which the
requirements of this Ordinance were determined or met, must submit to the Town Council a
revised zoning proposal for additional dwelling units for the development. Once the Town
Council has approved a zoning ordinance increasing the number of dwelling units allowed on a
platted lot, the developer shall either convey additional park land through a plat or replat, or shall
pay a fee in lieu of park land for the additional dwelling units, at issuance of building permits.
Where a payment of money was originally made to meet the requirements of this Ordinance, the
person proposing to construct additional dwelling units may be required to convey land for all or
part of the development. In such case, after the required conveyance is made, the payments, or
portion thereof, previously made, which are satisfied by the dedication of land, shall be returned
by the Town.

COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
From: The Office of the Town Manager Date: 8-15-2005
Subject: Agenda Item No.D.4
Consent agenda: Discuss and take appropriate action regarding a Resolution to
approve the placement of a proposal to adopt a 2005 Tax Rate on September 19,
2005 Town Council Public Meeting Agenda.
EXPLANATION:
Discuss and take appropriate action regarding a Resolution to approve the placement of a
proposal on the September 19, 2005, Town Council Public Meeting Agenda to adopt a 2005 tax
rate that will exceed the lower of the rollback rate or the effective tax rate; calling public
hearings on a tax increase to be held on August 29, 2005 and September 6, 2005, requiring
publication of a Notice of Public Hearing on Tax Increase in accordance with the law; and
providing an effective date.
BACKGROUND
Municipalities are required to publish their rollback tax rates in the newspaper, along with the
effective tax rate and other required schedules. These are currently scheduled to publish on
August 12, 2005 in the Trophy Club Times. The rollback tax rate divides the overall property
taxes into two categories—maintenance and operations (M&O) taxes and debt service taxes. By
law, the rollback rate for taxing units are set at an eight percent (8%) increase in operating taxes.
The effective tax rate is generally the property taxes divided by the current year’s taxable value
of properties that were on the tax roll in both years. This rate excludes taxes on properties no
longer in the taxing unit and also excludes the current taxable value of new properties (growth).
The Town of Trophy Club’s effective rate is $.42718/$100 valuation, and the rollback rate is
$.48397/$100 valuation.
The Property Tax Code specifies that “when a proposed rate exceeds the rollback rate or the
effective rate, whichever is lower, the taxing unit’s governing body, other than for a small taxing
unit, a water district or a school district, must vote to place a proposal to adopt the tax rate on the
agenda of a future meeting as an action item”. The proposed 2005-06 budget is partially funded
with a proposed tax rate of .44051. Although this proposed rate is below the rollback rate, it is
above the effective tax rate and requires two separate public hearings.
ESTIMATED SCHEDULE
08/15/05 Vote to Place Proposal on Future Agenda
08/19/05 Publish First Required Notice for Public Hearing

08/29/05 Hold First Public Hearing

COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
From: The Office of the Town Manager Date: 8-15-2005
Subject: Agenda Item No.D.5
Consent agenda: Discuss and take appropriate action regarding a Settlement
Agreement between TXU Electric Delivery and the Town of Trophy Club in
consideration for the Town's agreement not to initiate or participate in a Show
Cause Action concerning Electric Delivery's rates before July 1, 2006 and
authorizing the Mayor to execute all necessary documents.
EXPLANATION:
The proposed settlement agreement from TXU Electric Delivery is being provided to the Town
in consideration for Council’s agreement not to initiate, intervene in, or participate in a rate case
challenging TXU Electric Delivery’s rates any time before July 1, 2006. In exchange for this
Agreement, Electric Delivery will make a payment in the amount of $11,654.91 to the Town.
This payment should be received within two weeks of execution of the agreement. I have
confirmed with Gina Bivens (TXU) that there will be one additional payment of $11,654.91
made in March, 2006.
This agreement is substantially the same as the one signed by the cities that participated in
the Steering Committee of Cities Served by TXU Electric Delivery. The terms of the
proposed settlement have been determined to be fair by Geoffrey Gay, Steering Committee
Attorney. The Town’s deadline for acceptance of the offer is September 15, 2005.

COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
From: The Office of the Town Manager Date: 8-15-2005
Subject: Agenda Item No.D.6
Consent agenda: Town Council to discuss and take appropriate action on the
purchase of electronic message boards for the Town entrances and to authorize the
expenditure of an amount not to exceed $22,000 to be paid out of the general fund in
order to fully fund the project in the current fiscal year.
EXPLANATION:
These electronic message boards would be placed on both sides of the existing monuments at
Trophy Club Drive, Trophy Lake Drive and Trophy Wood Drive. Their purchase and
installation would save us approximately 780 annual hours of staff time at an annual cost of
$11,529.
The Town put this project out for RFP in February 2004. We received responses ranging from
$42,000 - $92,000. We entered in negotiations with the vendor who provided the lowest
proposal and were able to reduce the price to $40,350 for four-line electronic message boards.
The quote is for text only and includes the supply and installation of six wireless controlled
electronic boards mounted on both sides of our existing monuments.
We have received $10,000 in funds from Beck Properties and $10,000 from the Master District
to help pay for the purchase and installation, bringing the Town’s cost to $20,350.
RECOMMENDATION:
Because of the staff timesavings and the increased ability to communicate with residents, staff
recommends approval.

Mayor Sanders advised that with respect to the citizens that have spoken against the street striping project and
Council’s debate that a decision could be made based on experience as opposed to a survey. The Mayor noted
that an item to discuss and take appropriate action regarding a pilot street striping project has been scheduled for
the August 15th meeting.
D.1 Discuss and take appropriate action regarding the EDC Task Force and their proposed mission statement
and presentation made at the July 18, 2005 meeting.
Mayor Sanders advised that the EDC Task Force is currently at a stand still as there is only one of the three original
members left on the task force. Council member Edstrom advised that we are not able to implement the
ideas presented by the Task Force at the July 18th meeting, as we do not own the land. She suggested that
EDC 4B prepare a packet for the Chamber, containing information on economic development ideas that the
Town would like to see the developers go with. Council member Spence advised that the presentation was
good, however, he thought that this Task Force was created to work with the Chamber on different ways to
build economic development in the Town. Council member Edstrom advised that this was a good place to
start and that the Task Force was never really given any clear instruction. Council member Williams
commented that due to the amount of money involved in the infrastructure it was unfortunate that the land-
owners were not present to represent themselves.
131
Council member Edstrom made a motion to provide direction to EDC 4B to continue with the work that the Task
Force has started, refine the mission statement, work with the developers and other various groups to
find out their ideas and to come back in 90 days with a creative presentation to show developers;
Council member Spence seconded the motion. Floor was open for discussion. Council member Spence
suggested that we contact Beck for his ideas. Council member Edstrom advised that Beck would fall
under the various groups. Mayor Sanders called for the vote. Vote was unanimous.
D.2 Discuss and take appropriate action regarding the appointment of Chairman for the Planning & Zoning
Commission.
Council member Edstrom made a motion to appoint Gene Hill as chairman; Council Spence seconded the motion.
Floor was opened for discussion. Mayor Pro Cates asked how we could consider a chairman without
knowing the outcome on the next item. Council members Spence and Edstrom agreed that whether or not
anything was done in reference to the next item, P & Z still needs a Chairman. Mayor Sanders called for
the vote. Vote passed 3;1, with Council member Williams opposing.
D.3 Discuss and take appropriate action regarding the method(s) to be used when selecting individuals for
appointment to Town Advisory Groups, Boards and Commissions.
Mayor Sanders advised that Council member Williams requested this item be placed on the agenda. Having already
received citizen input under B.1, the Mayor opened the floor for Council discussion.
Council member Williams led the discussion by stating that he was not happy with what happened as the last
meeting. He believes that a dangerous political precedent was set, by allowing nominations from the floor
as it creates the ability to remove any candidate from the board and thus becomes political. His opinion is
that appointments go back to the way it was. Current members requesting reappointment would be
reappointed and the Chairman would be responsible to make recommendations to open seats. Council
member Williams stated that we should honor the time contributed by current members seeking
reappointment as having previous knowledge of the Town, rather than reconsidering their position with a
candidate with better credentials and no Town experience. Mayor Pro Tem Cates disagreed with William’s
suggestion that tenure should bare relevance when considering a candidate for reappointment and stated
that there might be attendance issues with some of the current members. Council member Williams
countered that it should be the responsibility of the Chairman to make appropriate recommendations based
on service and attendance. Council member Spence joined the discussion saying that in the seven years as
an elected official he has never seen a vote reversed or someone kicked off a board. Council member
Spence advised that he worked on the Home Rule Commission for two years and the one thing that all 16
members agreed on was how important volunteerism was to the Town. Council member Spence continued
that while the resume is a good starting point when considering an appointment to serve, we need input
from every type of person, housewives, people with experience and also people that have served the Town
previously. Council member Spence ended by saying that he did not know how something that Council
vote on could be overruled, however, he hopes that he never sees it again.
Andy Hayes, 25 W. Hillside Pl. Suggested to Council continued advertisement of openings on Channel 7 and the
marquee is a good idea. Mr. Hayes advised that the boards and commissions should interview the
candidates to determine the best recommendation for the Chairman to communicate to the Council. Mr.
Hayes informed that the skill set needed to sit on these board and committee members is different than
what it was a few years ago. He believes that Council should have the opportunity to review the
applications and that the appointment should be decided on per Council vote.
Don West, 212 Ridge View Ln Addressed Council saying that simply establishing a process for the appointments
to a board or committee makes all kinds of common sense and then apply rigorously. Mr. West suggested
that Council define the process and respect the volunteers.
Council member Edstrom advised that her concern is with the Town’s future growth. After reviewing the tape of
this meeting, she questioned if the most experienced candidate was appointed as she did not hear Chairman
Hill make a recommendation and there was approximately one minute of hesitation before a motion was
made. She said that the accusation that her request was politically motivated was inaccurate as her concern
is for the 900 acres of land yet to be developed and it is because of this that the Town needs that highest
level of experience serving on this Commission. Council members Edstrom advised that like other citizens
132
she was looking for dialog from the Council members as to how they came to their decision at the June 20th
meeting and she questioned Council members Williams and Foley’s opposition to the July 18th vote as
either could have nominated the candidates that was removed from his seat.
Mayor Sanders took a point of personal privilege to comment that this methodology of taking nominations was not
implemented or contrived to be political in any sense, as suggested by some, but rather in an attempt to
establish an appointment process that is fair. Mayor Sanders explained that the methodology of taking
nominations and then calling for a vote is a result of his personal observation of practices that were
changed on the fly. He referenced that EDC 4A had been told to interview candidates and then make a
recommendation to Council for appointment to an open seat. There was also discussion that current
members may have to recommend themselves for reappointment, which also shows a lack of methodology.
Mayor Sanders discussed these processes with a good friend who worked as the Town Manager in Garland
for sixteen years and another eight as the Town Manager in Arlington. The Mayor also referenced the
Charter that states that the Council makes the appointment rather than blindly accepting the chairman’s
recommendation and suggested that perhaps the Charter should have been more specific when outlining
this process. Mayor Sanders stated that he might have misinterpreted the Council’s intent with having the
freedom to appoint, but never the less that was his interpretation. He has since learned from Council that
they did not like having to make nominations and so the Mayor advised that they would change this process
tonight and will try to find a process that works for everyone. There was no motion made and no action
was taken.
D.4 Discuss and take appropriate action regarding the appointment of members to serve on EDC4B:
A. Discussion and receive recommendation and/or nominations for appointment to Economic Development
Corporation 4B.
B. Discuss and take appropriate action regarding a Resolution appointing citizens to five (5) seats on EDC
4B.
Mayor Sanders informed the Council that four of the five openings were being sought after by current members
requesting reappointment and asked if EDC 4B would like to make a recommendation for the last
opened seat.
Andy Hayes, 25 W. Hillside Pl. Advised that he is a little confused with the process for appointments as had told
some members of Council that he planned on resigning from EDC 4B after he was appointed to the P &
Z Commission at the July 18th meeting. However, with the discussion that the P & Z appointments
were going back on the agenda he wanted Council aware that he would not be resigned from EDC 4B
because he wants to serve the Town whether if be on EDC 4B or on P & Z.
Council member Edstrom questioned the process that was going to be used for appointments. The Mayor confirmed
that Council would be using the old way.
Council member Edstrom made a motion to approve 1.) Jim Hicks 2.) Andy Hayes 3.) Doyle Nicholson; 4.)
Rebecca Shuman and 5.) Larry Crosser to EDC 4B; Mayor Pro Tem Cates, seconded the motion. Floor
was opened for discussion. Council member Williams questioned that Mr. Claussen’s application
suggested that he is interested but does not have knowledge in this area. Council Member Williams
confirmed with Mr. Crosser that he has 40 years business experience and that he was retired.
Motion passed unanimously without further discussion. RES. 2005-19
D.5 Discuss and take appropriate action regarding a Resolution adopting Tax Abatement guidelines and criteria
for the Town of Trophy Club.
Mayor Sanders advised that the resolution included is a consolidation and extraction of various abatement policies
used by other Towns that provide Council with some ideas of processes that could be used, and that the
resolution without the redlines was submitted to Council previously for their review.
Council member Williams made a motion to approve; Council member Edstrom seconded the motion. Floor was
opened for discussion. Council member Spence likes that we have this resolution as a tool. Council
member Edstrom likes the way the criterion is defined. Mayor Sander advised that this is a new area to the
Town and that he appreciated Town Attorney, Patricia Adams putting it together. Motion passed
unanimously. RES. 2005-20
133
D.6 Discuss and take appropriate action regarding a resolution authorizing the Town to enter into an Interlocal
Agreement for the purpose of Cooperative Purchasing of Goods, Products and/or Services with those cities
or entities that adopt the said agreement within Tarrant County, Texas.
Council member Edstrom made a motion to approve; Council member Spence seconded the motion. Floor was
opened for discussion. Motion passed unanimously without discussion. RES. 2005-21
Mayor Sanders asked the Council if there were any items they wished to remove from the Consent Agenda. Mayor
Sander brought the July 18th, 2005 Minutes to their attention advising that the minutes did not include the
EDC Task Force mission statement in the minutes.
D.7 Consent Agenda- Discuss and take appropriate action regarding a Resolution approving the 2005-2006
Interlocal Agreement between the Town and Dallas County Community College on behalf of Cedar Valley
College. RES. 2005-22
D.8 Consent Agenda: Discuss and take appropriate action regarding an Ordinance repealing Town Ordinance
No. 2005-17 in its entirety, and adopting a new Ordinance relating to a new construction fee schedule for
the Town. ORD. 2005-20
D.9 Consent Agenda: Discuss and take appropriate action to approve Minutes dated July 18, 2005.
Council member Edstrom made to motion to approve Consent Agenda items D.7 – D.9 with the addition of the
following mission statement added to the July 18th, 2005 minutes; Council member Spence seconded the
motion. Motion passed unanimously.
Mission Statement
Businesses succeed in the Town of Trophy Club only when they meet and exceed the expectations
of the residents and customers. People live in the Town of Trophy Club because they can come
home to a way of life that creates a high quality of family experiences and lifelong memories. As
the community continues to develop, it is essential that the existing character of the community
be retained and enhanced wherever possible to preserve these important aspects.
We strive to be a center for shopping, dining, the arts and entertainment. Our mix of new and
existing retail provides year-round attractions, restaurants, and events that give a wide variety of
daytime and evening activities. These activities include all ages, cultures, ethnicities, and family
structures. Customers enjoy beauty and charm that entice them to be involved in the activities.
In creating a village atmosphere, we celebrate the diversity and power of people, ideas, and
cultures. By partnering and motivating profitable relationships between the business owners and
the developers, we create an achievable successful experience for all.
All matters listed as Consent Agenda are considered to be routine by the Town Council and will be enacted by one
motion. There will not be a separate discussion of these items. If discussion is desired, that item will be removed
from the consent agenda and will be considered separately.
Reconvened into the Budget workshop at 8:50 p.m.
Town Council requested that Adam place an item on a future agenda to discuss and take appropriate action for
charging fees for the use of the pool and other facilities to a future agenda.
Mayor Sanders advised that DR Horton has suggested possibly making a presentation to the Council the week of
August 22nd, 2005
Advised that a Public Hearing for the Budget has been scheduled for August 15th, historically Council has approved
the budget in a special meeting following the Public Hearing, however the next meeting to fall would be on
September 5th. Tentatively scheduled a special session for August 29th to approve the budget.
Council member Williams made a motion to adjourn; Council member Edstrom seconded motion. Motion passed
unanimously without discussion.
