Summary
At its Aug. 19 meeting the Colleyville City Council approved a package of consent items including an audit contract, roofing repairs under the TMLIRP program and a grant to GCISD; it also approved a special-use permit for an 8-foot fence. All motions passed 6-0.
The Colleyville City Council on Aug. 19 approved a package of consent items and a corner-lot fence variance, voting unanimously on each item.
The council approved a consent resolution that ratified actions taken under the July 15 consent agenda, including: minutes from the July 15 council meeting; a one-year renewal agreement with Weaver and Tidwell LLP for auditing services in the amount of $58,500 for the fiscal-year 2025 financial statement audit plus $5,700 for a single-audit if required; a grant from the city’s opioid-settlement funds to the Grapevine-Colleyville Independent School District drug-detection dog program; and authorization to participate in a TMLIRP (Texas Municipal League Intergovernmental Risk Pool) BEST roofing program with PMR Roofing and Forte Consulting, including a $40,000 contingency and a city deductible of $10,000 for storm-related roof repairs. The consent-resolution motion passed 6-0 (council members recorded votes as aye; Council member Graves was absent).
The council also approved Ordinance O-25-2337 on second reading to authorize a special-use permit allowing an eight-foot wooden fence to remain in the existing street-side yard location at 2400 Broad Oak Way (Longwood Estates at Ross Downs). Planning staff said the fence will replace an existing fence in the same location; the Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval 7-0. That ordinance passed on a 6-0 vote.
Votes at a glance - Resolution R-25-5068 (consent items ratification): motion by Councilmember Gunderson; second by Councilmember Alfonso; vote 6-0. Key consent items: approve minutes (07/15/2025); auditing agreement with Weaver and Tidwell LLP ($58,500 + $5,700 single-audit if applicable); grant from opioid settlement funds to GCISD drug dog program (amount in staff presentation: $6,750); approve use of TMLIRP BEST program and authorize PMR Roofing/Forte Consulting contract with $40,000 contingency and city $10,000 deductible. - Ordinance O-25-2337 (special-use permit for 8-foot fence at 2400 Broad Oak Way): motion by Mayor Pro Tem Elder; second by Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Richardson; vote 6-0.
What the votes mean Council members said the consent items streamline recovery and repairs after last year’s hail event, provide continued financial oversight through an external audit firm, and continue a small-city partnership with GCISD on a school drug-detection program. The fence request was described by planning staff as a like‑for‑like replacement in the same setback, and staff and the Planning & Zoning Commission said there was only one initial written opposition tied to a mistaken exhibit showing the fence moved forward.
Procedure and next steps City staff will execute the audit contract and coordinate TMLIRP BEST roofing work and invoicing; TMLIRP will pay vendors directly and the city will be billed for its single $10,000 deductible after final acceptance of repairs. The fence ordinance is effective per the adopted ordinance language.
