a tax abatement. He added that tax abatement agreements for TRUmh and Wire
Ropes had been approved since the last review of the policy, and they both
included County participation.
Belton City Council Meeting
January 26, 2016 - Page 3
City Manager Listi said that tax abatement is a very important tool to have for our
economic development efforts. The Council reviews the policy every two years, and
,he recommended Council readopt the policy.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Gauntt and a second by Councilmember Kirkley,
Consent Agenda item 8 was unanimously approved upon a vote of 4-0 including the
following captioned ordinance.
ORDINANCE NO. 2016-09
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BELTON, TEXAS, READOPTING THE TAX
ABATEMENT POLICY· FOR THE CITY OF BELTON; PROVIDING A
SEVERABILITY CLAUSE; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE; AND PROVIDING
AN OPEN MEETINGS CLAUSE.
Director of Finance Brandon Bozon stated that items 9 and 10 were a review of the
City's Investment Policy and Debt Policy. The Investment Policy generally governs
what we do with the funds we hold in City accounts. The market has not been great
lately, so the majority of the City's money remains in cash. The general hierarchy of
the policy is to protect the principal, maintain liquidity and then achieve any return
that we are able to get from the investment made. The policy was reworked last
year during the City's process to secure a depository contract. It was difficult to get
proposals if we restricted what the banks were allowed to use the collateral for
beyond the State's guidelines. Staff is recommending no change to the policy this
year.
Mr. Bozon explained that the Council had extensive discussions on the Debt Policy'
last year about potentially adding metrics for debt-to-property-value or debt-to
annual-revenue. However, our guidelines recommended not doing that but to
continue taking a comprehensive look at where we are financially before we issue
any new debt.
Upon. a motion by Councilmember Gauntt and a second by Councilmember
Sanderford, Consent Agenda items 9-10 were unanimously approved upon a vote
of 4-0 including the following captioned· resolutions ..

11. Conduct a review of Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone (TIRZ) Annual Report
for 2015.
Director of Finance Brandon Bozon presented the 2015 Tax Increment
Reinvestment Zone Annual Report for 2015 as required by TIRZ bylaws. He
commented that TIRZ had a strong year. He reviewed the Balance Sheet r~venues
and expenditures, and he highlighted several accomplishments for 2015 including:
• Completion of the Toll Bridge Road bridge replacement;
• Reconstruction of Spring Street;
• Completion of the Rockwool Property Redevelopment cost-share with BEDC;
• Fayade Grants awarded to Fine Line Design, Heartland Resources (L&R Meat
Market) and The Salon and Spa at Greenbriar; and
• Completion of the design plans for a potential connection between North Main
and 24th Avenue. .
Additionally, Mr. Bozon discussed projects in the pipeline for 2016 including:
• Sparta Road reconstruction and roundabout;
• Fayade Improvement Grants to Belton Journal, J.A.I.L. Ministry, 115 N. East and
Cochran, Blair & Potts;
• South Main sidewalks and waterline;
• Improvements to the intersection at North Main and River Fair; and
• Connell Street drainage improvements.
Mayor Grayson recognized Bell County Commissioner Richard Cortese who was in
the audience and serves on the TIRZ Board of Directors. Mr. Listi expressed
appreciation for the TIRZ partnership between the City and Bell County.
Upon a motion by Council member Sanderford and a second by Councilmember
Kirkley, the report was unanimously approved upon a vote of 4-0.
12. Consider approval of a resolution authorizing the Texas Coa.lition for
Affordable Power, Inc. (TCAP) to negotiate an electric supply agreement for
five years for deliveries of electricity effective January i. 2018. committing to
budget for energy purchases in 2018 through 2022. and to honor the City's
commitments to purchase power for its electrical needs in 2018 through 2022
through TCAP.
Director of Finance Brandon Bozon stated that the City is a member of the Texas
Coalition for Affordable Power (TCAP) who works on behalf of its members to
purchase and supply electricity at the best value under long term contracts.
Through our membership in TCAP, we are able to leverage the buying power and
lobbying power of 170 political entities across the state. He stated that membership
Belton City Council Meeting
January 26, 2016 - Page 5
costs about $3,000, but with the rebates the City receives, we actually have not had
to send them a payment.
The current TCAP contract ends December 31, 2017, and it is up for renewal at this
time. This contract is for the purchase of energy from energy providers which
represents approximately 42% of our total electricity costs. The other costs include
delivery charges and fees. The cost of energy currently is at the lowest it has been
since electricity was deregulated in 2002.
Mr. Bozon explained that TCAP will negotiate an electric supply agreement on
behalf of Belton for the term of January 1, 2018, through December 31, 2022.
TCAP has presented us with three contract options which are summarized as
follows:
Option 1 - fixed-price, full-requirements at a price not to exceed 4.1 cents per kWh;
Option 2 - fixed price for on-peak hours and variable spot market prices for off-peak
hours; and
Option 3 - block energy at a fixed price to cover the base load hours, a fixed price
for solar energy to cover mid-day peak hours (approximately 10% of total load) and
variable spot market prices for all remaining consumption.
Mr. Bozon explained that Staff recommends Option 1. He stated that Staff believes
the risks outweigh the potential savings for Option 2 and 3. Additionally, he
explained that the resolution must designate three persons who are authorized to
enter into the contract on behalf of the City. The contract must be signed within 24
hours of the offer. TCAP recommends Jay Doegey, Executive Director of TCAP, be
named as one of the agents since there is a short turnaround time for contract
execution. Staff concurs with that recommendation, and recommends Sam Listi and
Brandon Bozon as the other two authorized agents. Mr. Bozon said that execution
of the contract will occur by June 30, 2016, and the energy rate will not exceed 4.1
cents per kWh. He added that participation in this contract would result in an annual
savings of approximately $95,000 citywide.
Councilmember Kirkley asked if the price was secure from the time of contract
execution until delivery of energy begins in 2018. Mr. Bozon replied that it will be
firm through December 31, 2022. Mr. Kirkley asked if the company would have to
honor the contract should energy prices sharply increase. Mr. Bozon said they
would. .
Upon a motion by CouncilmemberKirkley and a second by Councilmember
Sanderford, the following captioned resolution was unanimously approved upon a
vote of 4-0.

13. Hold a public hearing and consider a zoning change from Retail to
Neighborhood Service Zonini District for the construction of a proposed new
salon building at 803 East 6 h Avenue, located on the north side of East 6th
Avenue, east of North Birdwell Street and west of Continental Street.
There was no discussion or action on this item.
14. Hold a public hearing and consider a replat for Jimenez Estates subdivision, a
0.605 acre tract. located on the west side of North Sparks Street and south of
West 2nd Avenue.
Director of Planning Erin Smith stated. that this is a 2-lot single family subdivision
plat proposed as Jimenez Estates subdivision. This property is zoned Single
Family-2 Zoning District with a Conservation and Revitalization Overlay. This is
currently one lot, and the applicant is proposing to replat into two separate lots. The
applicant would like to construct new single family homes on these two lots that are
compatible with this neighborhood.
She explained that residential subdivisions within the City of Belton must provide a
dedication of suitable parkland, payment of a fee-in-lieu-of, or a combination of the
two. This subdivision requires parkland dedication of 0.01 acres or $200 parkland
fee for the additional lot. Since there is only one additional lot, she stated that Staff
recommends approval of a variance to the parkland requirements.
Mrs. Smith stated that City Staff has reviewed the plat and finds it acceptable,
subject to conditions contained in the letter to the applicant's engineer. Staff
recommends approval of the replat as well as approval of a variance to the
parkland requirements.

January 26, 2016 - Page 7
Councilmember Gauntt stated that this was exciting because it is infill development
where infrastructure already exists, and she agrees to reward the developer for
development in an area that won't cost the public any additional money.
The Mayor opened the public hearing on this item. There being no one speaking for
or against the item, the Mayor closed the public hearing.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Gauntt and a second by Councilmember Kirkley,
the item was unanimously approved upon a vote of 4-0.
15. Hold a public hearing and consider a preliminarv plat for Highland Estates,
Phase III, a 15.23 acre tract of land, located north of Sparta Road, west of
Dunn's Canyon Road, and east of the existing Highland Estates Subdivision,
Phase I and recently developed Highland Estates, Phase II.
Prior to the meeting, this item was rescheduled to the Special Called City Council
meeting at 5:00 p.m. on February 1, 2016.
16. Consider a final plat for Dawson Ranch, Phase VI, a 8.175 acre tract of land,
located south of Chisholm Trail Parkway and Dawson Ranch. Phase V and
west of the future Lake to Lake Road.
Prior to the meeting, this item was rescheduled to the Special Called City Council
meeting at 5:00 p.m. on February 1, 2016.
17. Consider a request from Carothers Development LLC to extend the
Preliminarv Subdivision Plat validity six (6) months for Dawson Ridge
Subdivision, a 59.033 acre tract. located north of Sparta Road, south of Lake
Road/FM 439, and west of the existing Dawson Ranch subdivision.
Prior to the meeting, this item was rescheduled to the Special Called City Council
meeting at 5:00 p.m. on February 1, 2016.
18. Consider a final plat for Liberty Park. a 16.933 acre tract. located north of
West' Loop 121 and south of the existing Liberty Valley Subdivision. Phase I
and II.
Director of Planning Erin Smith stated that this is a single family subdivision,
containing 60 lots, proposed as Liberty Park subdivision. The applicant is proposing
to construct Southwest Parkway to the subdivision entrance at Liberty Park Drive.
The developer is solely responsible for the extension of this roadway to provide
subdivision access. Since there are no plans at this time to extend Southwest
Parkway north to Huey Road due to the need for a bridge to cross the Mitchell
Branch, this appears to be a reasonable proposal for subdivision access consistent
with the Thoroughfare Plan.
----------------
Belton City Council Meeting
January 26, 2016 - Page 8
Fire Marshal Jeff Booker reviewed the ingress/egress and concurs with the
proposed design. He is requiring a street stub-out for a future extension south to
west Loop 121. The applicant is proposing to stub-out Valley Forge Drive. Once the
Hope Community, Church property develops, a connection will be created to Loop
121. Due to the limited access from this subdivision to West Loop 121, and large
expense to extend Southwest Parkway north to Huey Road due to the need for a
bridge to cross the Mitchell Branch, this appears to be a reasonable proposal as
well.
She explained that residential subdivisions within the City of Belton must provide a
dedication of suitable parkland, payment of a fee-in-lieu-of, or a combination of the
two. This subdivision requires parkland dedication of 0.60 acres or $12,000
parkland fee ($200 per lot). The applicant previously dedicated a 0.827 acre tract of
parkland to the City in Liberty Valley, Phase III. This park does not contain any
enhancements, so the developer is proposing to complete $12,000 to grade and fill
the parkland to allow for a future playground structure. This neighborhood parkland
will serve the residents in Phases I, lI,and III.of Liberty Valley and Liberty Park.
Mrs. Smith said that Staff has reviewed the plat and finds it acceptable, subject to
conditions contained in the letter to the applicant's engineer. On January 19, 2016,
the Planning & Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the
final plat, subject to constructing Southwest Parkway from Loop 121 to Liberty Park
Drive, having a single means of access, providing $12,000 grade work to the park
site and subject to the conditions in the City's letter to the applicant's engineer.
Mayor Grayson asked if the single access was acceptable or unacceptable. Mrs.
Smith clarified that it was acceptable because of the stub-out on Valley Forge Drive
for future access.
Councilmember Gauntt added that the residents of this subdivision won't have
access to the parkland because of Mitchell Branch. Mrs. Smith replied that Mrs.
Gauntt was correct. She added that the developer is requesting to pave Southwest
Parkway up to Liberty Park Drive, but the City still desires to obtain the right-of-way
along Southwest Parkway for future connectivity. Southwest Parkway is shown as a
minor collector street on the Thoroughfare Plan that will ultimately extend from Loop
121 to Avenue O. The developer has agreed to provide all the requested right-of
way.
Councilmember Kirkley asked if the parkland was in the flood plain. Mrs. Smith
stated that it was, and that the developer has submitted a conditional letter of map
revision to FEMA. We are still waiting for the letter of map revisions from FEMA, but
are assured that none of the lots in the subdivision are within the flood plain.
Councilmember Sanderford made a motion for approval with the conditions noted
which was seconded by Councilmember Kirkley. The item was unanimously
approved upon a vote of 4-0.

Miscellaneous
19. Consider a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a Development
Agreement between the City of Belton and J. C. Builders, LLC, regarding
drainage improvements associated with the Bella Rose Subdivision located
on the northeast comer of East Loop 121 and South Wall Street.
Interim City Engineer Angellia Points reminded the Council that on September 23.
2014, they approved the final plat of the Bella Rose subdivision. When the
developer was grading the portion of Bella Rose Drive adjacent to Loop 121, he
found rebar, concrete and other materials extending 12 feet below ground level. On
May 19,2015, Council approved the replat for the subdivision in order to minimize
the amount of debris the developer had to remove by moving the roadway
alignment east approximately 50 feet.
Mrs. Points explained that significant rain events in May and June of 2015, revealed
an existing drainage issue for residents of Colette Court, north and east of the Bella
Rose subdivision. This regional drainage issue that was not known during the
platting review phases was brought to the City's attention by a resident of Colette
Court. She stated that the drainage issue was not caused or compounded by the
Bella Rose development.
The City worked with the Developer and the Developer's Engineer, Clark and Fuller
Inc., to design a solution to minimize this regional drainage issue and the effects of
the new subdivision on existing lots. Construction of the stormwater infrastructure
was crucial since the ground was fully saturated. The City directed the Developer to
proceed with construction of the stormwater improvements with the intent for the
City to participate in a cost share of one-half of the costs, although a Development
Agreement had not been approved in advance. Construction of the subdivision and
the stormwater infrastructure was completed in September 2015 and accepted by
the City on December 1, 2015. Mrs. Pointes stated that the stormwater
infrastructure has proven to be successful through the recent rains as downstream
properties along Colette Court have not experienced any notable stormwater runoff
issues or flooding in their backyards.
The total cost to construct the stormwater improvements was $22,827.68 >making
the City's share $11.413.84. Mrs. Points recommended approval of the resolution
authorizing a Development Agreement with J. C. Builders.
Councilmember Kirkley called this the "penultimate" partnership between public and
private works. He also noted that the project was located on the south side of town.
He thanked Public Works for their efforts, and Mrs. Points thanked J. C. Builders for
their willingness to work with the City on this project.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Kirkley, and a second by Councilmember
Sanderford, the following captioned resolution was unanimously approved by a vote
of 4-0.

20. Hold a Public Hearing and consider approval of ordinances on second and
final reading granting commercial solid waste collection franchises to the
following companies:
A. Republic Services, Inc.
B. Waste Management, Inc.
C~ Progressive Waste Solutions
D. Eagle Disposal
E. Kerr Waste Services, LLC
F. Temple Iron & Metal
City Clerk Amy Casey informed the Council that the City has seven commercial
solid waste collection franchises. Six of the franchises expired on December 31,
2015. Each company was contacted and desires a new franchise. The term of the
franchise is three years with the option to renew for two additional one-year periods.
She stated that although the City has not received any complaints about any of the
companies, the start time has been proposed to change 'from 3:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m.
Waste Management has filed a letter requesting a compromise start time of4:00
a.m., and Staff is agreeable to that.
She recommended holding the public hearing and approval of the ordinances with a
4:00 a.m. start time on second and final reading.
Councilmember Gauntt commented that the starting time seemed very early, and
she has been awakened by them at times as they are working on Main Street. Mrs.
Casey stated that Waste Management begins working that early for safety reasons
to get the containers emptied before traffic increases and businesses begin their
work day.
The Mayor opened the public hearing on this item. There being no one speaking for
or against the item, the Mayor closed the public hearing.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Kirkley, and a second by Councilmember
Gauntt, the following captioned ordinances were approved on second and final
