COMMISSIONER JIM CARTER REGARDING UPDATE OF COUNTY BUSINESS.
Page 2 REGULAR SESSION December 17, 2001
County Conumssioner Jim Carter updated the Council regarding compensation for county employees.
He sponsored a comparative wage survey and found that even after recent raises, they were still 30%
below the standard pay range. Voters approved a three -cents per $100 valuation to bring deficient pay
rates up to par. The resulting tax increase was two cents.
Jim Carter explained House Bill 1445, which relates to City and County's control of ETJ. If someone
were to build in a City's and County's ETJ, they would have to get two permits. This House Bill
requires the City and County to come to an agreement and to require only one permit. This Bill does
not necessarily apply to the Town.
Jim Carter stated that a Bill passed regarding the setup of Transportation Authority. Counties that are
adjacent to populations of I million can have their own Transportation Authority. Jim Carter stressed
the importance for the Town to have a representative at the advisory committee meetings.
Jim Carter advised that the ranking of Highway 114 west of I35 has moved up to Priority 2, with
letting schedules set for 2005. He will push to move both the ranking up to Priority I as well as the
letting date.
Jim Carter offered his help with T.W. King Road and the Highway 114 turnaround.

TOWN COUNCIL TO DISCUSS AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION REGARDING
TROPHY CLUBIWESTLAKE DPS ALLOCATIONS.
Roger Unger passed out information regarding advanced funding of the DPS. Roger advised Staff is
working within two confines and working on coming to a compromise. The Town is working under a
conditional deadline of December 31, 2001. The condition is if we have not arrived at an agreeable
allocation or don't have an agreeable contract, the Town of Westlake has stated it is their intent to give
their one year notice..
Town Manager Welsh stated that the Town has a nighttime residential population of 7,000 and
Westlake has a daytime commercial population of 7,000 which distributed the services evenly between
the two towns. At the time of the original negotiations, Trophy Club had a ready-made department.
Westlake has the highway to bring in revenue.
Roger Unger added that these two proposals are strictly an expense allocation, no revenue allocations.
The Town of Westlake advised that they would keep all revenues generated by Westlake Court. The
Town Attorney Adams stated that the contract is very clear on the 1/12`h payment. Trophy Club will
continue to maintain the course of the contract.
Town Manager Welsh made the recommendation to Council to table the contract
Roger Unger stated that he advised the DPS Board that in his best estimation, the DPS would run out
of money around June -July. Westlake's response was that they would go back to the entities and
request more money and each entity would be required to pay their share of the shortfall.
David Miller advised that the DPS Board did not vote to continue spending as usual. They did a pre -
vote to move forward with the hiring of two additional motor officers, and to delay the spending for a
Records Management System that was budgeted for this year. The revenues are short. We just
replaced the three officers we lost last fiscal year. We are only spending on what we need to have for
day-to-day operations and to keep the community safe.
The consensus of the Council is to request that the DPS cease any and all unnecessary spending
Page 6 REGULAR SESSION December 17, 2001
No action at this time
TOWN COUNCIL TO DISCUSS AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION REGARDING
CONTRACT FOR TROPHY CLUB/WESTLAKE DPS.
Mr. Jim Budarf of 547 Indian Creek addressed the Council.
Town Manager Welsh made the recommendation to take no action at this time.
TOWN COUNCIL TO DISCUSS AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION REGARDING
AWARD/REJECTION OF BIDS FOR ANNUAL MISCELLANEOUS CURB REPAIRS FOR
2001-02.
Paul Rosenberger stated that Westhill's bid of $125,440 was the low bid. Westhill is in good standing
for past projects with the Town. Teague, Nall and Perkins also recommended Westhill for this project.
Council Member Matthai made a motion to accept Westhill Construction's bid in amount not to
exceed $125,440. Mayor Pro Tem Edstrom seconded; motion carried unanimously.
TOWN COUNCIL TO DISCUSS AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION REGARDING
"DECLARATION OF INTENT" PROVIDED BY THE TROPHY CLUB COMMUNITY
IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION.
Diane Cockrell distributed amended copies of the Declaration of Intent.
Mayor Smith stated that there now exists an unprecedented spirit of cooperation between the current
CIA Board Members and myself. This kind of cohesiveness has never existed before between the
Mayor and the CIA. It is important that we show our residents that the Town and CIA are unified to
accomplish this transition. I felt all along that this will probably and should come down to a
community -wide vote on the size and scope of the pool project and how it should be funded. This is
just another in a series of steps to move forward in accomplishing our goals together. This letter of
intent was first brought to me by Darin Davis to show we are in fact unified and not divided. It also
asks the entire Council to get on board with the CIA. I also want to emphasize that there is nothing
political, and I resent anyone trying to make it that way. These are good people trying to do what's
right and very sincere, and it makes sense. I want to encourage the Council to support this good intent.
Town Attorney Adams stated her concerns regarding this Declaration of Intent. She does not
recommend Council sign this document at this time, as she feels it is premature, especially since
Council has not yet visited the monetary requirements nor the planning involved with this venture.
Council Member Huizenga stated that he has issue with ignoring our attorney's recommendation.
Adding that Peter Reincke of the CIA is not yet close to formalizing a financial impact and no type of
benefit cost analysis has been done. Council Member Huizenga believes we are on the right path, that
he is all for creating a mutual document and running it by our Attorney; however, he is not prepared to
do that tonight based on the advice of legal counsel.
Mayor Pro Tem Edstrom stated she concurred with Council Member Huizenga, stating that our
attorney has advised us against doing something that we probably shouldn't be doing. She stressed
that she does not believe there is any misunderstanding from the inception of the task force when the
CIA presented a letter requesting the council members look into the transfer of those responsibilities,
that there is agreement between the CIA Board and the Town Council. Mayor Pro Tem Edstrom
added that based on the advice of our attorney, she feels that the Council should not move forward
with the document as written. There's no doubt that the CIA and the Town Council are working
together to resolve these issues. The intent was established with the unanimous vote of the Council to
Page 7 REGULAR SESSION December 17, 2001
create the CIA Task Force and provide direction to Parks and Recreation to move forward with the
pool.
Council Member Matthai asked, "Why do we need this letter of intent at this time?" He feels that this
is a fantastic opportunity for the whole community, for the whole town to get together and rebuild
some bridges. Adding, he feels this is a fantastic approach, however, he is not ready to do something
like this at this time.
Council Member Williams stated the intent is stating our intent; that it is not a statement that we are
going to do this, but rather we are going to try, if possible. He stated he does not have a problem
signing the intent because this is the first time he can remember the CIA and the Town to be in
concert, moving forward with the same objective.
Mayor Pro Tem Edstrom stated she disagreed that this is the first time the CIA & the Council have
agreed to work together. Adding, that we could table this and come up with something that our
attorney can recommend for signature; but to fly in the face of legal opinion that we shouldn't sign this
is just not prudent as a council.
Council Member Matthai stated that one of the things we've got to do is get information out to the
people of Trophy Club that we are working together, that the CIA, the Town Council, and the Mayor
are all moving in the same direction. We ought to get together with our legal counsel and find a way
to get this redrafted so we call be comfortable including our legal staff. He requested to table this until
such a time the intent can be reviewed.
Council Member Huizenga agreed by saying we should draft something, get it on paper, and send it
out to the public so they know we are heading in the right direction.
Town Attorney Adams made the recommendation that Council could go into Executive Session for an
explanation of her legal concerns and then Council could make a decision as to whether or not to
assume the risk.
Mayor Pro Tem Edstrom requested that in the future if there is legal advice provided that it is passed
on to the Council for consideration prior to the meeting and not at the time of determination. Mayor
Pro Tem Edstrom asked for clarification from legal counsel when the conversation was had with the
Mayor regarding the legal concems. Legal counsel stated the conversation was held last week during
the setting of the agenda when the Executive Session was pulled.
Council Member Spence made a motion to table the agenda item. Council Member Huizenga
seconded.
Mayor Smith stated this is a letter of intent to show unity, and we ended up being divided
Council Member Huizenga amended the motion by recommending the document be reviewed by our
attorney.
Mayor Pro Tem Edstrom seconded the amendment. Motion carried unanimously.
