Ben Bridal, director of community development, presented the first request for 5820 Bransford Road (Ord. O-25-2334). The lot is zoned R-20 and measures about 37,652 square feet, slightly below the 40,000-square-foot threshold in the city code that allows fences to extend to the property line. The applicant requested a 6-foot wrought-iron fence with masonry columns to extend to the front property line; staff and the Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval. The council approved the ordinance 7-0 (motion by Mayor Pro Tem Elder; second by Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Richardson).

The council then considered a special-use permit at 600 Hunter Trail (Ord. O-25-2335). Bridal explained the lot is a corner property where the front-of-lot definition makes the existing fence appear to be in a front yard even though the house faces a different street. Planning & Zoning recommended a modified alignment. The applicant, identified as Kyle, told the council the proposed fence would be a five-foot, partially open horizontal cedar design and said neighbors had indicated support. Council discussion focused on sight lines, symmetry with adjacent fences and the Planning & Zoning recommendation. The council approved the ordinance 7-0 with an amendment requiring the fence to match the adjacent side in height and an open design (the applicant agreed to provide an exhibit of the proposed fence design and alignment).

The third request covered 6701 Carriage Lane (Ord. O-25-2336), another corner lot where an existing wood fence with masonry columns encloses a side-yard pool area. Bridal said the replacement wood section was installed before the applicants understood the permit requirement; staff and Planning & Zoning recommended approval, noting similar fences exist in the neighborhood. The council approved the ordinance 7-0 after a brief public explanation by the homeowner.

All three items received no opposition from nearby property owners in the staff notification process. Council members asked staff to require exhibits or clear alignment language where necessary to ensure future replacements match the approved design and do not create sight-line hazards.

Votes at a glance: Ord. O-25-2334 (5820 Bransford Road) approved 7-0; Ord. O-25-2335 (600 Hunter Trail) approved 7-0 with amendment to match adjacent fence design and 5-foot partially open horizontal cedar construction; Ord.

Lisa Escobedo, the city’s director of public works, described the Interlocal Agreement as funding for base repair and a 2-inch mill and overlay on Glade Road from the roundabout at Poole and Jackson to Strathmore Terrace. Escobedo said the city has budget availability and that Tarrant County provides labor and equipment under the agreement; Colleyville will pay for materials. Council members noted the work will save the city several hundred thousand dollars compared with contracting the full project.

Chief of Police Michael Miller reviewed the CCCPD proposed budget and outlined a single new personnel request: a full-time network and cybersecurity administrator reporting to information systems. Chief Miller described the position’s total cost at roughly $109,000 and said the city proposes to fund half — $54,869 — from the CCCPD budget and half from the utility fund to support citywide cybersecurity upgrades and to meet new federal security requirements with deadlines in 2027.

Finance Director Cassie Smith presented the district’s financial numbers. Smith said the CCCPD board adopted an additional $50,000 in revenues at its July meeting to cover an expense increase previously approved by the board (police officer salaries and related salary-compression costs). Smith reported CCCPD total revenues of $3,790,000, a planned $400,000 capital expenditure for server/data-center refresh, a $25,000 transfer to the equipment fund, and an operating surplus figure presented as $27,316. Smith said available reserves remain above the city’s 90-day operating target.

Information Systems Manager Patrick Stoss explained the $400,000 capital request would refresh servers at the Justice Center and other data-center equipment; he said the city is evaluating off-site hosting options as part of that project.

The consent resolution (R-25-559) recorded approval of the July 1 minutes, the Glade Road interlocal with Tarrant County, and the FY26 CCCPD budget and passed with no public comments.

Assistant City Manager Adrian Law said the suspension buys time for the city’s legal team and consultants to “review and analyze and negotiate” Encore’s filing. “If we took no action ... the request to increase rates would be deemed administratively approved. So by having the resolution approved tonight that allows a pause button on the rate increases,” Law said.

Law told the council the company’s filing would raise the average residential bill by about $7.90 per month — a 12.3% increase — and raised particular concern about proposed changes to streetlight charges. He said the filing is Encore’s first comprehensive base rate case in several years and that the city’s team will focus on both the base-rate request and the company’s proposed new treatment for street-light rates.

The resolution, R-25-560, directs the city’s steering-committee representatives to negotiate with Encore, hire and direct legal counsel and consultants, and take administrative or court action as needed. The resolution also records that under Texas law (PURA Sections 33.001 and 36.001) the city may suspend an effective date and recover rate-case expenses from the utility. The resolution passed unanimously.

Council members spoke briefly after the presentation; one member called the proposed increases “disheartening” and urged the city to press the company for reductions. No public commenters addressed the item during the hearing.

The council will receive updates from the steering committee and the city’s outside legal team as the review proceeds. Law said staff expects more detailed information before the end of the maximum statutory suspension period and will return to council with recommendations.
