Contract NEW INTERGOVERNMENTAL CONTRACT FOR EMPLOYEE SERVICES This New Intergovernmental Contract for Employee Services (the “Contract”) is between the following parties: Trophy Club Master District (the “Master District") 100 Municipal Drive Trophy Club, Texas 76262 and The Town of Trophy Club, Texas (the “Town”) 100 Municipal Drive Trophy Club, Texas 76262 WHEREAS, The Master District is an administrative agency and joint operating board established by Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 (“MUD1") and Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 2 (“MUD2") under a written agreement entitled NEW MASTER DISTRICT CONTRACT dated and effective as of October 4, 2000, as amended. Each of MUD1 and MUD2 is a municipal utility district created and operating under the provisions of Article XVI, Section 59, of the Texas Constitution, and the general laws of the State of Texas including, particularly, Chapter 54 and 49 of the Texas Water Code, as amended. The Master District is structured and operates as a separate entity joint venture, with MUD1 and MUD2 being the equal controlling owners of the joint venture. This Contract is signed by the Master District in its capacity as the operator of common water and wastewater facilities in the Trophy Club and Solana-Westlake projects. WHEREAS, The Town is a home rule municipal corporation duly organized and operating pursuant to the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas and its home rule charter. WHEREAS, The Master District and the Town each perform certain governmental services or functions within their respective jurisdiction. Prior to October 1, 1998, the MUD1 (in its capacity as the “Master District” at that time for itself and MUD2) and the Town each had their own employees to perform various services and functions. By a written agreement dated and effective as of October 1, 1998, entitled INTERGOVERNMENTAL CONTRACT FOR EMPLOYEE SERVICES (the “1998 CONTRACT FOR EMPLOYEE SERVICES”), MUD1 (in its capacity as the “Master District” at that time for itself and MUD2) and the Town agreed that all employees of MUD1 became employees of the Town subject to the personnel policies of the Town and included on the payroll of the Town so that employment salaries, benefits, and personnel policies of both MUD1 and the Town could be administered more efficiently, effectively, and economically. With the execution of the 1998 CONTRACT FOR EMPLOYEE SERVICES, the Town (through its employees including those personnel who formerly were employees of MUD1) began performing services that previously had been part of MUD1’s operations for the benefit of itself and MUD2. This Contract is to update, modify, and supersede the 1998 CONTRACT FOR EMPLOYEE SERVICES. WHEREAS, This Contract is executed by the Master District and the Town as an intergovernmental or interlocal contract under Chapter 791 (the Interlocal Cooperation Act) of the Texas Government Code and is an amendment and renewal of the 1998 CONTRACT FOR EMPLOYEE SERVICES. WHEREAS, This Contract has been authorized by the governing body of each party to this Contract. The governing body of each party to this Contract has determined that the terms and provisions of this Contract are desirable, fair, and advantageous for that party and therefore the Contract serves a valid public purpose. WHEREAS, The parties to this Contract believe that their longstanding contractual and cooperative relationship has benefited both the Town and the Master District, and their respective taxpayers and customers, because the administration of employment issues is handled in a more efficient, effective and economical manner, and governmental services which are the responsibility of each of the respective entities are performed by a single work force consisting of Town employees. Moreover, while the Master District and the Town each performs distinct governmental services or functions within their respective jurisdictions, they also have a community of interest in performing these services and functions. The Master District and the Town have determined that this community of interest is best served by continuing their cooperative and intergovernmental contractual relationship with respect to employment services. WHEREAS, The parties hereby confirm their understanding and intent that all persons who were employed by MUD1 (in its capacity as the “Master District” at that time for itself and MUD2) performing work in the operations of the Master District immediately prior to October 1, 1998, became employees of the Town as of October 1, 1998, for all purposes, with the Town responsible on and after October 1, 1998, for all salary, benefits, and other compensation of such employees and with such employees subject to the personnel policies of the Town. NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the above and foregoing premises, the benefits flowing to each of the parties hereto, and other good and valuable consideration, the Town of Trophy Club, Texas and the Trophy Club Master District do hereby contract and agree as follows: I.

The parties hereto agree that the attached organizational chart identifies the structure of the respective operations of the parties and their relationship under this Contract. The Organizational Chart is attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit A. III. Master District Management The Master District retains a Master District Manager to oversee the operations of the Master District (hereinafter “District Manager”). The District Manager may be an independent contractor or an employee of the Master District but in neither case is the District Manager an employee of the Town. This Contract is not intended to make any change in any separate contract between the Master District and the District Manager ("District Manager Contract"). Whether the District Manager is an independent contractor or an employee of the Master District, the District Manager shall be compensated by the Master District and report directly to the Board of Directors of the Master District. The person designated as the District Manager for the Master District shall be supervised and directed by the Board of Directors of the Master District. IV. Compliance with Town Personnel Policies Under the terms of the District Manager Contract, where applicable, or under the terms of the employment of the District Manager, where applicable, the District Manager shall be either contractually or as a term of employment, whichever applies, required to comply with the personnel policies and procedures of the Town in fulfilling his obligations for the management and oversight of Master District operations. The parties hereto understand and agree that the Town employees shall be subject to the personnel policies and procedures adopted by the Town. V. Master District Standard Operating Procedures. The Master District retains the authority to adopt standard operating procedures (“SOPs”) regulating and governing the operational control of Master District assets and facilities; however, the scope of such standard operating procedures shall relate only to technical matters governing Master District operations and shall not conflict with the Town personnel policies and procedures. Prior to the issuance of any standard operating procedures, such SOPs shall be submitted to the Human Resources Manager or equivalent position for review and to allow such person to identify any inconsistencies or conflict between the proposed SOPs and the Town personnel policies. The Town shall provide written notice to the District Manager of any such conflict between the SOPs and the Town policies and of any matters that the Town determines to regulate matters other than those operational matters for which SOPs are allowed under this Contract. In the event of a conflict, the parties agree to meet and discuss the identified conflict and to use reasonable efforts to resolve the conflict in order to meet the needs of both the Master District and the Town. As used in this Contract the terms “operation(s),” “operational,” “operational functions,” or “operational standards” shall mean those technical functions performed by Town employees for the Master District which are governed or regulated by a state or federal regulatory agency, regulatory standards or permit standards, or other applicable local, state, or federal law or which are regulated by an SOP of the Master District pursuant to this Contract. VI. Compliance with Standard Operating Procedures of the Master District Subject to the requirements set forth in Paragraph V above, while this Contract is in effect, the Town agrees that all employees providing services to the Master District shall follow the Master District’s SOPs governing the operational aspects of Master District assets and facilities. VII. Approved Positions and Funding Each year, as part of the approval of the respective budgets of the parties, the governing body for each of the parties approves a listing of funded positions or an organizational chart showing all funded employee positions. The approved budgets contain detailed information regarding the amount of money that each of the parties hereto contributes toward the expenses of funding employee positions. The Town and the Master District agree hereunder that the positions and payment approved in their respective budgetary processes shall comply with the terms of this Contract and shall serve as partial consideration for the services provided under this Contract. VIII. Compensation. As compensation for the services provided or to be provided to the Master District by the Town under this Contract, upon the Town presenting a detailed listing of all incurred expenses the Master District agrees to pay to the Town at least monthly an amount equal to the actual costs incurred by the Town for salary, benefits, and other compensation of the Town employees providing services to the Master District, subject to Paragraph VII of this Contract. The term “actual costs” as used in this Contract means those costs that the Town incurs over and above the cost that the Town would incur if it were not providing personnel to perform services for the Master District operations. Whenever practical to do so, the Town shall have costs (other than employee costs) associated with Master District functions charged directly to the Master District, including but not limited to training expenses, travel, supplies, administrative and other miscellaneous costs not directly attributable to salary benefits and other compensation. As further consideration for the services of Town employees, Master District agrees that the use of all equipment owned by or leased to Master District may be used by licensed and/or qualified Town employees in the performance of services for Master District pursuant to this Agreement. IX. Policies and Decisions This Contract is intended to provide for the furnishing of employment services by the Town to the Master District in the Town’s capacity as an independent contractor. The Master District retains all right, power, and control that it has by law and by the New Master District Contract to set policies and to make decisions regarding the services provided by Town employees in the performance of operational functions for the Master District and the operation of Master District assets and facilities. As new or additional employees are needed to perform services for the Master District, the Town shall follow Town personnel policies and procedures in the selection of those employees. Prior to the hiring of any employee to perform services for the Master District, the Town shall request from the Master District, or its designee, the approval of the selection, , compensation, benefits, and job description of each such employee. The Town agrees to follow the Master District’s recommendations for selection, compensation, benefits, and job description of each employee performing services for the Master District. In the event of a conflict under this paragraph, the parties agree to meet and discuss the identified conflict and to use reasonable efforts to resolve the conflict in order to meet the needs of both the Master District and the Town. The Master District shall not be required to fund any decision that it has not approved regarding an employee performing services for the Master District. Decisions by the Master District under this Contract shall be made by the Board of Directors of the Master District or by its designated officer(s) or agents. All Town employees performing services in the operations of the Master District shall be supervised and directed by persons approved by the District Manager. Nothing in this Contract shall be interpreted as an abdication by the Master District or MUD1 and MUD2 as the joint venture partners in the Master District of their governmental rights, powers, and duties with regard to services provided by the Master District. X. Discipline The parties agree that the Town’s standard personnel policies and disciplinary procedures shall apply to all Town employees performing services in the operations of the Master District. The Master District shall have the right, for good cause upon the violation of operational standards, or for violations of SOPs, as allowed by the Town’s personnel policies, to require that a particular Town employee be removed from performing services in the operations of the Master District, provided however, that the removal of an employee shall not be required until such employee has been disciplined in accordance with Town policies and had an opportunity to avail himself of any and all appeals allowed under the Town’s personnel policies and procedures. XI. Liability; Insurance; Indemnification The Town shall be responsible for the acts, negligence, and omissions of its employees performing services in the operations of the Master District, unless the acts or omissions were pursuant to operational standards or SOPs of the Master District or District Manager or actions or omissions performed pursuant to or under the direction, supervision, or instruction of the Master District or the District Manager. If the acts or omissions were pursuant to operational standards or SOPs of the Master District or District Manager, or the acts or omissions were performed pursuant to or under the direction, supervision, or instruction of the Master District or the District Manager, the Master District shall assume liability for the acts, negligence or omissions of Town employees. The parties to this Contract shall each individually obtain insurance, with coverages as mutually agreed upon, that the parties determine will insure themselves individually and collectively from liabilities related to and arising out of this Contract and fulfill the indemnity obligations of each party, to the extent allowed by law, under this Contract. Such insurance shall insure against liability arising out of or related to the work performed by Town employees under this Contract, with both parties named as additional insured under such insurance policies. To the extent allowed by law, both Town and Master District agree to defend, indemnify and hold each other harmless from their respective negligence or intentional conduct arising out of or related to this Contract and resulting in harm to them individually or to a third party, including without limitation property damage to the parties hereto or to a third party. The indemnity extends to all costs and expenses incurred, including reasonable attorney’s fees, to defend against, settle or pay the claim asserted by another. In the event a claim is made by another against either the Town or the Master District, written notice of the claim shall immediately be given to the other party, in order that the other party may determine whether its indemnity duty must be performed and in order to allow the indemnitor to perform indemnity. If any part of the foregoing indemnity shall be deemed or determined unenforceable or contrary to public policy by a court of competent jurisdiction, then each party shall contribute to any judgment according to its percentage of fault. Neither Town nor Master District waive any immunity or defense that would otherwise be available to it against claims arising from the exercise of governmental powers and functions and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver of the governmental, sovereign, or official immunity afforded by law to either Town or Master District. XII. Further Cooperation The parties to this Contract agree to cooperate to sign and deliver any other documents that may be necessary or appropriate to implement the provisions of this Contract. In the event of a conflict under this Contract, the parties agree to meet and discuss the identified conflict and to use reasonable efforts to resolve the conflict in order to meet the needs of both the Master District and the Town.

TOWN COUNCIL CONVENED INTO REGULAR SESSION *REGULAR SESSION D.1 Discuss and take appropriate action by Resolution to appoint one candidate to the Planning and Zoning Commission. Council member Williams made a motion to appoint Damian Olthoff to the P & Z Commission; Council member Foley seconded the motion. Mayor Sanders introduced P & Z Vice Chairman, James Stephens who was present in Chairman Gene Hill’s absence. The floor was opened for discussion. Council Member Williams stated that he was upset to see a resignation so soon after the contention problems created with the last appointment process. Mayor Pro Tem Cates stated that precedence was set after the last P & Z appoint process when Council decided that they would take the recommendation provided by the Commission’s Chairman, as well as give first consideration to an applicant that had previously served on the Board. Council member Williams was uncertain as to whether candidate, Robert Ashby, former P & Z member could commit to weekly meetings if deemed necessary with the potential development, as he previously resigned from the Commission due to professional and personal time constraints. Mayor Pro Tem Cates asked Mr. Ashby if he would be able to affirm his commitment to the meeting schedules involved with this seat. Mr. Ashby advised that currently, both professional and personally, he would be able to commit to the limitations as set forth for this seat; however, he is unable to foresee the future. Vice Chairman Stevens spoke to Chairman Hill’s recommendation, verifying that after Chairman Hill interviewed all five candidates and carefully reviewed the candidate’s resumes and community involvement, Chairman Hill’s recommendation to Council was Robert Ashby. Council member Spence stated that he would have to go with Chairman Hill’s recommendation as he did not know the candidates personally and he agreed with the precedence set that the Chairman would make the recommendation. Mayor Sanders read Chairman Hill’s personal evaluation of related experience and skills of both Robert Ashby and Damian Olthoff. Mayor Pro Tem Cates made a motion to amend William’s motion and replace the suggestion of Damian Olthoff with Robert Ashby, who is the recommendation of the P & Z Commission’s Chairman. Council member Spence seconded the motion. Mayor Sanders called for the vote. Motion to amend tied 2:2, with Council members Williams and Foley voting against the motion to amend. Mayor Sanders explained that according to the Charter, in the event of a tie, the Mayor would cast a vote. He advised the Council that we would call for the vote, encouraging the Council to reconsider their vote as to break the tie themselves. Motion to amend tied 2:2, with Council members Williams and Foley opposing. The Mayor called the vote a third time, advising that he would be casting his vote.

Council member Williams made a motion to nominate Pearl Ford and Bob Radder to the Board of Directors for the Denton Central Appraisal; Council member Spence seconded the motion. The floor was opened for discussion. Motion passed unanimously without discussion. Due to technical issues, the Mayor was not informed of a citizen’s request to speak to this item until after the vote was called. The Mayor did allow the resident to speak. Neil Twomey, 203 Oakmont, Trophy Club, TX – Suggested that Council also consider Pat Carr, who is currently serving his third year term on the DCAD Appraisal Review Board. Mayor Sanders informed Mr. Twomey that contact was made with Mr. Carr a few weeks previously and that we understood that due to his current role of the Appraisal Review Board, he was not interested in being nominated to the Board of Directors. Mr. Twomey clarified that he spoke with Mr. Carr just this past weekend and he is interested in the Board of Directors and if elected, he would resign his current position. Council member Spence moved to reconsider motion; Mayor Pro Tem Cates seconded. Council member Spence moved to amend the motion; nominating Pat Carr in addition to Pearl Ford and Bob Radder to the DCAD Board of Directors; Mayor Pro Tem Cates seconded. Motion passed unanimously without further discussion. D.3 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. Council member Williams made a motion to approve the pilot project; Council member Spence seconded the motion. The floor was opened for discussion. Mayor Pro Tem stated that she is concerned with people’s safety perception of the traffic calming and feels that the Town is better off with sidewalks on the major thoroughfares. Mayor Sanders corrected that the $12,000.00 it would cost to fund this project is not currently in the budget as previously reported. Staff had intended for this to be voted on prior to the budget being passed, however, due to the delay of the item coming back before Council, the $12,000.00 is not a line item currently in the budget. Finance Director, Roger Unger advised that the funding could come out of two sources, either the ongoing street maintenance or the contingency funds, which is for projects or issues that come up during the course of the year. Council member Spence spoke that two major issues break from this, sidewalks verses shoulders and that there are many issues with the shoulders that sidewalks will not fix. Council member Spence spoke in favor of this pilot project, and believe that it is an attempt to teach people that these are one-lane streets. Council member Williams agreed that this is an attempt to make people aware that these are one-lane streets and that given the two-month delay already, we should give it a try. Council member Williams made a motion to approve pilot project for six months and then come back to Council to see if the residents want a referendum; Council member Foley seconded the motion. Council member Foley requested that discuss the funding. Council member Williams amended his motion to include that the funding would come from street maintenance as suggested by Finance Director, Roger Unger; Council member Foley seconded. Council member Spence suggested that the residents drive with the pilot project and still vote on it in the May election. Council member Williams made a motion to amend his motion to approve the pilot project for six months, with funding taken from street maintenance and including as a referendum on the ballots in May, assuming that all can be accomplished with election deadlines; Council member Foley seconded. Margi Cantrell, 1105 Sunset, spoke in favor of the pilot project. Bob Radder, 1 Lee Court, spoke in favor of traffic calming and stated that this does not need to be put to a referendum, but rather, Council should make a permanent decision now. Doyle Krauss, 549 Indian Creek, spoke in favor of the pilot project. Bob Downey, 531 Indian Creek, encouraged Council to vote in favor of the pilot project. Community Development Director, Beth Ann Gregory confirmed Mayor Sander’s question that signage is included in the $12,000.00 cost. Council member Spence spoke to the controversy surrounding this issue; stating that this issue is too big for the Council to make a decision on and felt that it should be left up to the democracy of the people. Council member Williams believes that signage informing drivers of the one-lane streets would be beneficial in other areas of the Town. Mayor Pro Tem Cates commented that calming the roads might make the roads safer, but just because there is calming on the roads, people should not feel confident that they would be safe on the road. Mayor Sanders called for the vote. Motion to approve the traffic calming project for the section of Trophy Club Drive for six months, with funding taken from street maintenance and with Council including as a referendum on the ballots in May, assuming that this can be accomplished with election time deadlines, passed unanimously without further discussion. D.4 Discuss and receive direction regarding charging fees for the use of the pool and other facilities. Parks and Recreation Director, Adam Adams informed Council that there are three types of fees; association fees, fees for facility usage and fees for tournaments. He spoke to the results of the survey which concluded that the smaller the city, the less likely it was to charge fees of any type, less likely to have good facilities and as many facilities with the same standards to the ones in the Town. Most cities have a co-sponsored agreement with the associations, which is currently what Trophy Club has in place; where the associations are immune from fees, providing they participate in the upkeep of the fields. Mr. Adams answered Council member Williams question that Roanoke does has pool passes, but does not have association fees. Council discussed that most cities do have pool fees and some type of association fees, and that if the Town did approve fees they would need to applied fairly across the board. Mr. Adams acknowledged Mayor Pro Tem Cates concern over the lighting cost and explained that EDC will be reviewing a break down of the lighting costs as well as speaking to two vendors who may be able to provide lighting solutions. Council member Spence cautioned that it is difficult trying to develop a fee schedule that works for all the residents. Council member Williams asked for an agenda item addressing applying fees to the pool and also a discussion of what fees will be charged. Mr. Adams clarified that he would like to look at the associations and come up with a dollar amount on their contributions and man-hours and the bring forward a pool package with resident pool fees; single, family and swim team. D.5 Discuss and receive direction regarding a future amendment to Ordinance 2004-17 regulating the operation of motor assisted scooters. Police and Fire Services Director, Randy Briggs informed Council that after surveying the originals cities first surveyed when Ord. 2004-17 was first passed, it was determined that the other cities have made changes to the regulations and operation of motor assisted scooters. Chief Briggs asserted that he has concern that kids who are not knowledgeable to the rules of the road are operating scooters. Mayor Sanders introduced Barb Tweedie, 220 Oakmont, as a member of the Public Safety Committee who conferred with Chief Briggs and his desire to change the age restrictions so that the individuals are aware of the rules of the roads. Discussion ensued about age restrictions according to State Law; and if our officer’s should be put in a position of having to guess the riders age. Chief Briggs advised that the other cities surveyed based their ordinance restriction on street width and speed. Mayor Sanders requested that Council summarize the direction they were giving to staff. Council member Williams requested that staff amend the restrictions to Ordinance 2004-17, and present to Council at the November 7th meeting. D.6 Discuss and take appropriate action regarding the repeal of Ordinance Nos. 2004-01 & 2004-09 relating to traffic and street control standards, and adopting a new Ordinance related to traffic and street control standards, with new criteria specifically related to U-Turns signs. Director Briggs advised that adding criteria specifically related to U-Turn signs to this Ordinance is a proactive measure. CD Director, Beth Ann Gregory advised it was a resident’s complaint, generated via the Citizen Relationship Management that prompted the research on U-Turns. Council member Williams moved to repeal Ordinance 2004-01 & 2004-09 and adopt 2005-26; Council member Spence seconded motion. Floor opened for discussion. Mayor Pro Tem Cates requested we communicate this change in the monthly newsletter and on Listserv.

Mayor Sanders called on Greg Lamont, 15 Avalon, who spoke in favor of item. D.7 Discuss and take appropriate action regarding a Resolution approving the 2005-2006 Interlocal Agreement between the Town and Tarrant Count Hospital District d/b/a JPS Health Network. Director Briggs explained that this item is an annual agreement and that the Town Attorney requested it be pulled from the consent agenda. Town Attorney, Patricia Adams counseled that this item was removed from the Consent Agenda, so that she could advise that certain verbiage be added to the indemnity clause. Ms. Adams continued that she did feel that Tarrant County Hospital would have a problem with this verbiage. Council member Williams made a motion to approve the resolution with the amendment to the indemnity clause, to read ‘to the extent allowed by law’; Mayor Pro Tem Cates seconded. Motion passed unanimously without further discussion. 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.
