GOAL(S): EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Approval of this agenda item will allow the City and Dallas County to proceed with the implementation of the Project Supplemental Agreement necessary to obtain partial funding from Dallas County for the construction of Sandy Lake Road, Phase 'A'. Staff recommends approval and will be available for any questions at the Council meeting FINANCIAL COMMENTS: Agenda Request Form - Revised 09/04 Document Name: #Sandy Lake MEMORANDUM TO:Mayor and City Council FROM:Kenneth M. Griffin, P.E., Director of Engineering and Public Works DATE:January 24, 2006 REF:Consider approval of a resolution adopting the approved preferred alignment of Sandy Lake Road (SH 121 to Coppell Road N) as described in Attachment 'A' - Design and Construction Criteria, together with Attachment 'B' - Memorandum of Agreement, and authorizing the Mayor to sign; and consider approval of the Project Supplemental Agreement to the Master Agreement Governing Transportation Major Capital Improvement Projects between the City of Coppell and Dallas County, and authorizing the City Manager to sign. On December 13, 2005, City Council awarded a construction contract to Tiseo Paving Company for the construction of Phase 'A' of Sandy Lake Road, from S.H. 121 to Coppell Road N. Numerous times, the alignment of the roadway has been discussed with City Council and the public. Up until this time, City staff has not sought a resolution from Council approving the alignment of Phase 'A', because Dallas County had steadfastly refused to allocate a portion of the approved funds for Sandy Lake Rd. to Phase 'A'. Now that they have agreed to funding a portion of Phase 'A', the City has been placed in a position of having to backtrack to seek approval of the alignment of Phase 'A', after the construction contract was awarded in December 2005. Nothing has changed for Sandy Lake Rd. Phase 'A' from what Council has previously seen and from what was awarded to Tiseo Paving Company by Council. The remainder of this memo explains in detail the timeline concerning the allocation of funds from Dallas County for this project and the requirement to seek a resolution for approval of the alignment for Phase 'A'. In March 2000, the Engineering Department submitted Sandy Lake Road (S.H. 121 to Denton Tap Road) to Dallas County for consideration of partial funding through the Major Capital Improvement Program (MCIP). The project was approved and received funding in the amount of $1,300,000 for fiscal year (FY) 2006. The City Council approved the Master Agreement that defined the partnership and roles of the county and the city in association with the project on December 12, 2000. An engineering contract with Teague Nall and Perkins (TNP) for the design of the project was also approved during the same council meeting. TNP was directed to prepare the construction plans in two phases, Phase 'A' (S.H. 121 to Coppell Road N) and Phase 'B" (Coppell Road N to Denton Tap Road). The city realized that the eastern section of Sandy Lake Road had numerous issues that would impact the start of construction. Phasing the project allowed the city the opportunity to start construction of Phase 'A' at an earlier date than Phase 'B'. The Phase 'A' section of Sandy Lake Road provides commercial traffic access to the facilities located along Royal Lane, Sandy Lake Road and Freeport Parkway. The county was aware that the project was being designed and constructed in two phases. The city initially thought that construction of Phase 'A' would start prior to FY 2006 and in February 2003, requested the county to consider moving all or a portion of the $1,300,000 forward for use on the construction of Phase 'A'. In October 2004, we were told that Dallas County staff had decided not to participate on Phase 'A' and that the entire amount would be available for Phase 'B' which was scheduled to start construction in 2008. The city then held a public meeting for both phases of Sandy Lake Road on December 7, 2004 for the purpose of reaching a consensus on the design and alignment of the projects as presented in the schematic design plans dated December 2001. As part of the required funding process, the city prepared a Supplemental Agreement (SA) with incorporated attachments. The agreement called for the county's participation to become available sixty days prior to the construction award. The SA and a resolution adopting the preferred alignment for Phase 'B' were approved in the July 12, 2005 City Council meeting and submitted to Dallas County for approval. In August 2005, Dallas County informed the city that the funds would now be available for construction of Phase 'A'. The county provided a revised agreement, the Project Supplemental Agreement (PSA), for the city to follow in preparing the agreement. The city has prepared the PSA for Phase 'A', with incorporated Attachments 'A' through 'E', that establishes the preferred alignment along with the contractual rights and responsibilities of both entities. The new PSA calls for the county to reimburse the city on a monthly basis for twenty percent of the eligible construction costs until Dallas County cost participation is met. Any remaining funds from Phase 'A' will be carried over and used for the construction of Phase 'B'. A construction award for Phase 'A' was approved during the December 13, 2005 City Council meeting, and Dallas County participation is anticipated to be around $670,000. The next step is to implement the PSA with the county. The PSA must be accompanied by a resolution adopting the preferred alignment as described in Attachment 'A' - Design and Construction Criteria together with Attachment 'B' - Memorandum of Agreement. With this agenda item, a copy of the resolution and the Project Supplemental Agreement with incorporated Attachments 'A' through 'E' are provided. Staff recommends approval of the resolution and Project Supplemental Agreement necessary to obtain partial funding from Dallas County for the construction of Sandy Lake Road, Phase 'A". Staff will be available to answer any questions at the Council meeting. RESOLUTION NO. ________________ A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COPPELL, TEXAS, ADOPTING THE APPROVED PREFERRED ALIGNMENT OF SANDY LAKE ROAD PHASE 'A' (STATE HIGHWAY 121 TO COPPELL ROAD NORTH) AS DESCRIBED IN ATTACHMENT 'A' - DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION CRITERIA TOGETHER WITH ATTACHMENT 'B' - MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT ATTACHED TO THE PROJECT SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT TO MASTER AGREEMENT GOVERNING TRANSPORATION MAJOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. WHEREAS, the Sandy Lake Road project (S.H. 121 to Denton Tap Road) was approved for partial funding through the Major Capital Improvement Program for fiscal year (FY) 2006, and the Master Agreement was implemented on April 24, 2001; and WHEREAS, the design consultant, Teague Nall and Perkins, was directed to prepare the construction plans in two phases, Phase 'A' (S.H. 121 to Coppell Road N.) and Phase 'B' (Coppell Road N. to Denton Tap Road) in order to initiate construction of Phase 'A' prior to Phase 'B'; and WHEREAS, Dallas County had previously agreed to only participate in the construction of Phase 'B' and the preferred alignment for Phase 'B' was adopted by Resolution No. 2005- 0712.3 dated July 12, 2005; and WHEREAS, Dallas County has now agreed to participate in the construction of Phase 'A' and to carry over and use any remaining funds from Phase 'A' for the construction of Phase 'B'; and WHEREAS, a public meeting for Phase 'A' was held on December 7, 2004 for the purpose of reaching a consensus on the design and alignment of the project as presented in the schematic design plans dated December 2001; and WHEREAS, the approved preferred alignment for Sandy Lake Road Phase 'A' is described in Attachment 'A' - Design and Construction Criteria together with Attachment 'B' - Memorandum of Agreement. NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COPPELL, TEXAS: 514 SECTION 1.That the City Council of the City of Coppell hereby adopts the approved preferred alignment for Sandy Lake Road, Phase 'A', which is attached hereto, and incorporated herein as Attachment 'A' - Design and Construction Criteria and Attachment 'B' - Memorandum of Agreement, and that the Mayor is hereby authorized to execute the resolution providing for such adoption. SECTION 2.This Resolution shall become effective immediately from and after its passage, as the law and charter in such cases provide. DULY PASSED and approved by the City Council of the City of Coppell, Texas, on this the _______ day of _______________, 2006. APPROVED: DOUGLAS N. STOVER, MAYOR ATTEST: LIBBY BALL, CITY SECRETARY APPROVED AS TO FORM: CITY ATTORNEY DEPT: Finance DATE: January 24, 2006 ITEM #: 9/D   AGENDA REQUEST FORM ITEM CAPTION: Consider approval of a Resolution to impose the additional collection penalty in April for business personal property taxes that become delinquent on February 1, 2006, according to the Texas Property Tax Code Section 33.11, and authorizing the Mayor to sign. GOAL(S): EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Staff recommends approval of this resolution to implement Section 33.11 of the Texas Property Tax Code. This will allow us to turn over the city of Coppell’s delinquent business personal property tax accounts to our delinquent tax collection law firm sixty (60) days after the delinquency date. Currently, we are turning our delinquent business personal property tax accounts over to our tax collection law firm approximately one hundred fifty (150) days after the delinquency date. State Law has been changed to turn over the business personal property tax accounts earlier due to the mobility of inventory and equipment. This should increase our ability to collect the delinquent business personal property taxes while the company is still in business and the personal property is still located within the city of Coppell. This will not effect any real property or residential tax accounts.

The Legislature passed House Bill 2491, its omnibus property tax bill. Among the provisions is one which allows a taxing entity to turn over, to its delinquent tax law firm, delinquent personal property accounts as early as sixty (60) days after the February 1st delinquency date and to impose the delinquent collection penalty to defray the costs of collection. For purposes of the 2005 delinquent accounts (for bills that are sent out in October 2005), that 60-day turnover would be April 4, 2006. This legislation is beneficial to taxing entities because it allows the collection process to start three months earlier on personal property. Unlike real estate, business personal property is mobile and often disappears. Many times, businesses close or move prior to our collection efforts. The April start, as opposed to the July start, will increase the opportunities to collect delinquent taxes from these businesses while they are still in business. The law now allows the City of Coppell to impose the twenty percent (20%) delinquent collection penalty on the business personal property accounts turned over in April and thereby fund the early collection efforts. The delinquent taxpayer, and not the City, will bear the cost of the collection effort. To take advantage of the early turnover, three steps must be taken: (1) The taxing entity must take official action to impose the early penalty; (2) Notice of the penalty must be given to the delinquent taxpayer during the month of February 2006; and Page 2 (3) The City’s delinquent tax collection contract with our law firm must be amended to provide for early turnover of personal property delinquencies. Dallas County adopted the early turnover of delinquent personal property taxes and the attachment of the additional collection penalty on September 20, 2005. A copy of the Commissioner’s Court Order is attached. We recommend that the City of Coppell adopt this legislative change and take advantage of this opportunity. From a customer service standpoint, we believe it will be less confusing if all taxing jurisdictions adopt the same turnover schedule for personal property. From an operational standpoint, it will be more efficient and effective if our law firm is able to contact delinquent taxpayers through mailings, collection phone calls, and site visits in a coordinated fashion. I have included a Draft Resolution and Contract Amendment for your review. We look forward to discussing this legislative change and how it would impact your City. We are coordinating our efforts with the attorneys of Nichols, Jackson, Dillard, Hager & Smith, L.L.P. in cities such as Coppell where they serve as the City Attorney.
