Summary
At its Sept. 3 meeting the Colleyville City Council approved a $30,000 economic-development reimbursement grant to a Colleyville property owner, authorized a letter of intent to sell city-owned property at 7015 Colleyville Boulevard, and approved a settlement with an emergency-equipment vendor.
The Colleyville City Council on Sept. 3 approved three items disclosed after an executive session: a $30,000 economic-development reimbursement grant to a building owner on State Highway 26, authorization for the city manager to enter a letter of intent (LOI) for sale of city-owned property at 7015 Colleyville Boulevard, and a settlement with Siddons Martin Emergency Group LLC for equipment repairs.
The council voted 6-0 to approve Resolution R-25-5071, confirming the executive-session actions. Mayor Bobby Linda Mood moved the measure and Mayor Pro Tem Elder seconded. Mayor Pro Tem Elder, Council members Alfonso, Richardson (Deputy Mayor Pro Tem), Graves and Gunderson voted aye; Council Member Raines was absent.
The grant is intended to reimburse a property owner for exterior improvements at the southwest corner of State Highway 26 and Brown Trail. Assistant City Manager Mark Wood told the council the owner will invest about $94,000 in repairs and upgrades including siding and stucco repair, mold remediation, stonework and new awnings; Wood said the resolution language should be corrected to cap the city contribution at $30,000.
Also disclosed from executive session was a letter of intent from CDC Equities LLC to purchase 33.809 acres of city-owned land at 7015 Colleyville Boulevard. Wood said, if approved, staff will begin negotiating a purchase-and-sale agreement that will return to the council for final approval.
The third executive-session item authorized the city manager to enter a settlement agreement with Siddons Martin Emergency Group LLC for an amount not to exceed $143,865.86 to resolve disputed invoices for equipment repairs. The council approved payment to settle the vendor’s outstanding claims.
These three items were drawn from matters the council handled in executive session and then memorialized in a public resolution, which the council adopted on a roll-call vote. No members of the public addressed these items during the council’s public hearing before the vote.
The resolution’s preamble referenced compliance with the Open Meetings Act.
