The council adopted Resolution R-25-5018, a consent resolution that bundled routine approvals including minutes, an entertainer contract, interlocal agreements with Tarrant County, and a design services contract for water storage tank rehabilitation. Councilwoman Gunderson moved to approve the resolution and Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Richardson seconded; Mayor Pro Tem Elder stated, “Motion passes 7 0.”

The consent package (as listed in the resolution) included: approval of the minutes of the Feb. 18, 2025 meeting; authorization for a contract with entertainer Craig Morgan for the 2026 Stars & Guitars event in an amount not to exceed $75,000; an interlocal agreement with Tarrant County for rehabilitation of various streets; a professional services agreement with Garver LLC in an amount not to exceed $199,650 for design of the Hall Johnson and McPherson elevated storage tank rehabilitation project; and an interlocal agreement with Tarrant County related to the Cheeksburger Road project.

The council also adopted Resolution R-25-5019, approving a replat to combine multiple parcels into a single lot for the First Baptist Church of Colleyville addition (about 20.09 acres). Councilman Graves moved approval, Councilman Ryan seconded, and the motion passed 7-0.

Resolution R-25-5020 approved an advanced funding agreement with the Texas Department of Transportation to accept green-ribbon landscaping funds for three corridors and to commit local tax-increment financing (TIF) funds for project maintenance and any cost overruns. Amber Beard, director of public works, told the council, “We received funding for all 3 locations this year.” The council voted to approve the resolution 7-0 (motion by Mayor Pro Tem Elder; second by Councilman Alfonso).

Finally, the council adopted Resolution R-25-5021 after receiving a certification from the city secretary that the candidates for mayor and council places 1 and 2 were unopposed. The resolution declares the following elected and authorizes issuance of certificates after the election day in accordance with the Texas Election Code: Bobby Lindovate, mayor; Brandy Elder, place 1; and Mark Alfonso, place 2. The motion to adopt passed 7-0 (mover Councilman Graves; second Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Richardson). City Secretary Christine Levinson noted that although the candidates were unopposed, the bond election on May 3 remains active and certificates cannot be issued until after the official election day; canvass and oaths are scheduled for May 13.

The council adjourned after citizen comments and other routine business.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Colleyville - City Council - Mar 04, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Colleyville City Council on March 4, 2025 approved several resolutions and actions by unanimous votes and declared three municipal candidates elected without a contested general election.","taxTitle","Colleyville, Tarrant County, Texas","taxId",69604,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6652416,"Colleyville Police begin Power Engage text messages to 911/non-emergency callers for pre-arrival info and two-question surveys",258,427000,685000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2493374-0a3e97eea3f4cbb65c6139f9380adc9f&start=427&end=685","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2493374-0a3e97eea3f4cbb65c6139f9380adc9f/thumbnail_427000.jpg","/articles/6652416/Colleyville/Tarrant-County/Texas/Colleyville-Police-begin-Power-Engage-text-messages-to-911non-emergency-callers-for-pre-arrival-info-and-two-question-surveys","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6652416-bb1b6ed755f7f4b3e2d2ed3303940b66/orig.mp4?Expires=1775631481&Signature=Uy5QzeCnLH2pkc~~YCCTs8U6hfKqDL3YkcRKJHP-XwrMeviVetgv2rSrCVle~BN-47BZLa2eyVrfX1tG9KWuKY-7iqyOCH2N5pWvZ6k4XV7cZkqBxL2L5rtx5QSyuMtqjSWnc7xeIQV107Z4KtZr1alcQe6qNdjf7BGhdhYi-Z57J1s31oC7jIDwGiywOSSKApAqVEzoUCqCrbQyIyARgVY6zLnC6Fh~SbgwyS1x3r9axAoLD--52J7S-VEspppNw54MbgQ3UVaZ4qVIT7yvPfqhJoum91wJ2DqTZ3ZFj1KVy5Q37ydjrVKo-OuNRdpAVcpmqfFaigK3D-FhqJj4tg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Colleyville Police Department informed the City Council on March 4, 2025 that it has begun using a new communication platform, Power Engage, to send text messages to people who contact 911 or the department’s non-emergency line.

According to the staff briefing, Power Engage will send informational messages on certain call types that can include pre-arrival guidance and a short survey after the contact. \"Each survey will ask just 2 questions about how satisfied you are and give you a chance to provide feedback,\" the briefing said. The messages are opt-in by virtue of the phone number provided at the time of the call; recipients who do not want to receive the texts can reply with the word \"stop\" to opt out.

The department emphasized the system is not a replacement for 911 and cannot be used to report emergencies, criminal activity, or to file a formal complaint with the department. Citizens were reminded to continue to use 911 for emergencies and to use (817) 743-4522 for non-emergency reports.

Staff said the tool is intended to provide timely information to callers and to collect quick satisfaction feedback to inform department performance and identify improvements.","The Colleyville Police Department has started using Power Engage to send informational texts to people who call 911 or the non-emergency line, including pre-arrival details and a two-question satisfaction survey; the texts cannot be used to report emergencies or file formal complaints and recipients can opt out.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6652419,"Colleyville details Cheeksburger Road project funding and design steps; $13M in county bonds and federal grants cited",218,1042000,1260000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2493374-0a3e97eea3f4cbb65c6139f9380adc9f&start=1042&end=1260","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2493374-0a3e97eea3f4cbb65c6139f9380adc9f/thumbnail_1042000.jpg","/articles/6652419/Colleyville/Tarrant-County/Texas/Colleyville-details-Cheeksburger-Road-project-funding-and-design-steps-13M-in-county-bonds-and-federal-grants-cited","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6652419-b09322b877394867a98dec604af67a17/orig.mp4?Expires=1775631481&Signature=dRgk8WA0e8CfZFjnDCxtsJG~odCF5pPhzWT2KldpYF6BdSoMsj4TiBp4Bpu972k1WLJ9PHcnW5OxXaUxVxiWaLoaM1HSPQ0VKkCu6IKW~Zxn-6AT27vnT-PmDxW5bpUACAZihgu7AV97nO8cF3SzJptHhEnhcIEEVJ3pLJWW1ZvRZG-iHUhLtSIdwC6t2UfUA6R62JQYOvaQ6rGwxhWg0vG9Bs2Eev0CAuVFDyA7GqE-OXH3UiB5vgL3irJrALX7f90K1TUYM2ZTznzszZT7H49ArDLpT4hN1jh~Qi0Xl5yrg3BsLwrMF~l2Vvv1iG9zQN8jGTOvN6cAMGtzA2tXLw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Council members and staff discussed the Cheeksburger Road improvement project during the March 4, 2025 meeting, outlining funding commitments, coordination with regional agencies and next steps for design.

Amber Beard, director of public works, explained the project financing and partners. She said the city has an interlocal agreement with Tarrant County related to the project and noted the city is working to obtain additional funding. \"Congresswoman Beth Van Dyne is providing 2,500,000.0 in grants for the project,\" Beard said. The council also referenced $13,000,000 provided by Commissioner Fickas through a November 2021 bond issuance. Staff said TRA (regional water authority) will install a trunk water line as part of its work and that coordinating the city’s road reconstruction with that utility work is an opportunity to reduce repeated construction disruption.

Council and staff discussion touched on design elements the city expects to pursue in coordination with engineers: sidewalks (a 5-foot sidewalk was mentioned for a different project in the meeting), turn lanes, and at least one roundabout. The mayor noted the council wants to include sidewalks and turn lanes where appropriate: \"Let's get the sidewalks in like we've talked about and the turn lanes in,\" he said. Staff said a design contract with an engineering firm will be presented to council in the coming months; design is expected to take significant time and will include public input on particulars.

Council members said they have met with the regional Council of Governments, TxDOT, Bedford (neighboring jurisdiction) and others to align funding and that early indications show other partners may contribute. Staff emphasized the TRA trunk-line work will occur regardless, and the city’s timing is intended to take advantage of that construction window to complete road and drainage work while TRA is mobilized.

Next steps: staff will bring a design contract to council for approval in the coming months and carry out public engagement during design.","Council discussed the Cheeksburger Road project funding package, engineering and design timeline, and intergovernmental coordination; staff said $13 million from a 2021 bond plus a $2.5 million congressional grant have been committed and design work will begin with a contract forthcoming.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6652424,"Colleyville holds first reading on carport rules; council hears code changes but takes no action",382,1305000,1687000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2493374-0a3e97eea3f4cbb65c6139f9380adc9f&start=1305&end=1687","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2493374-0a3e97eea3f4cbb65c6139f9380adc9f/thumbnail_1305000.jpg","/articles/6652424/Colleyville/Tarrant-County/Texas/Colleyville-holds-first-reading-on-carport-rules-council-hears-code-changes-but-takes-no-action","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6652424-9b5273a3c9593686eb5c4462050d3c3e/orig.mp4?Expires=1775631481&Signature=EVEkkfYjMdjsUdYfMdkMa0TdSa-5W0bQH-FPGER9KgUeuDek37rYvzu0hgqOgoKmxKqj3n6ge-ytBtLmge8PrjgmoZmvfwjCwMxWzZlpF-BeQVBJrErIrYoD50JgayDQZYG9LxnUzjzCqPhiQLm~qS9gEfGkfokaMe8HPHQP~CIc8T57B9rBt05o3TO400Ws0mAq6Sy7malJ7LqEfIjsstFL2Fd0lKVEVuMCEJyp9pbhkW9MUGNFtPKSsz2gFuPFVuY2hI9wKF25OmuuaJfZzFGxW7njldaRVFe4LW37T4WGjNJxkHkpEsfCTr60IVCn3DNnJ9amagBgS4wnDJLlqQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Colleyville City Council on March 4, 2025 held a first reading and public hearing on proposed changes to the city’s land development code regulating accessory buildings and residential carports (Ordinance O-25-2320). Ben Bridal, director of community development, presented the amendments and described the proposal's intent.

Bridal summarized the ordinance changes and the rationale behind them, explaining that the proposal would allow some carports to be built without going through the special use permit process. \"A carport specifically is a roof structure ... the main purpose is to park vehicles underneath this structure,\" Bridal said, while outlining dimensional and design standards under the draft ordinance. Under the draft, a carport could proceed without a special use permit if it is either completely to the rear of the house or not visible from the street; corner lots would still require a special use permit. The amendment also clarifies height limits — a carport cannot be taller than the primary residence — and maintains requirements for paved parking under the cover, a roof pitch of at least 2 in 12, and masonry cladding on posts up to 48 inches.

Bridal said the item was presented to the Planning & Zoning Commission on Feb. 10, which recommended approval 6-0. Staff recommended approval to council at this meeting. The council opened the public hearing; no members of the public spoke. The council did not take action on the ordinance at this meeting (first reading). Council members noted homeowners' association deed restrictions would still supersede city code.

The proposed changes will return to council for a subsequent reading and potential vote after further processing and any additional public input.","Council received a first reading and public hearing on an amendment to Chapter 3, Section 3.27 of the land development code to change when residential carports must obtain a special use permit; staff recommended approval and the Planning & Zoning Commission had recommended approval 6-0, but council took no vote at the meeting.","actionData","errors"]
