WHEREAS, there are 913 municipal courts that handle over 7 million cases and more than 3,800 jury trials
every year; and
WHEREAS, municipal judges make up over one third of the entire state’s judiciary; and
WHEREAS, more people come in personal contact with municipal courts than all other Texas courts
combined, and the public perception of the entire Texas judicial system is largely dependent upon the public’s experience
in municipal court; and
WHEREAS, municipal courts serve as the local justice center for the enforcement of local ordinances and fine-
only state offenses that protect the peace and dignity of our community; and
WHEREAS, municipal judges, court support personnel, and marshals have pledged to be ever mindful of their
neutrality and impartiality, rendering equal service to all, and conform to the standards set by the Canons of Judicial
Conduct; and
WHEREAS, the municipal judges, prosecutors, clerks, and marshals continually strive to improve the
administration of justice through participation in judicial education programs, seminars, workshops and the annual
meetings of their state and local professional organizations; and
WHEREAS, it is more appropriate that we recognize the accomplishments of the 913 Texas Municipal Courts,
and the Coppell Municipal Court Number 1, and salute their critical role in preserving public safety, protecting the quality
of life and deterring future criminal behavior in Texas communities and in our community.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Karen Selbo Hunt, Mayor of the City of Coppell, Texas, do hereby proclaim
November 4-8, 2013 as
“Municipal Court Week”
AND FURTHER THEREFORE, extend appreciation to the municipal judges, prosecutors, court clerks,

MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Brad Reid, Parks and Recreation Director
Date: October 22, 2103
Reference: Consider approval of award of bid to Sunbelt Pools, in an amount not to exceed
$65,136.00, for the replacement of indoor pool plaster, tile and coping at the Coppell
Aquatic and Recreation Center; and authorizing the City Manager to sign.
2030: Community Wellness and Enrichment.
Special Place to Live.
Introduction:
The Coppell Aquatics and Recreation Center opened its doors to the citizens of Coppell in July
2000. The facility includes an indoor swimming pool that is used for youth swim lessons, youth
swim team practices, adult water exercise classes, adult lap swim, and open swim times for the
public. There are approximately 40,000 visits to the indoor pool each year for these various
programs. The month of December typically has the lowest attendance of the year due to family
holiday activities, vacation travel, and inclement weather. Additionally, no swim lesson classes are
scheduled during December.
Analysis:
The tile and coping areas of the indoor pool are part of the original construction of the facility in
2000, while the underwater surface of the pool was re-plastered in 2009. The lifespan of pool tile
and coping in an indoor aquatics setting is approximately ten years, due to exposure to humidity,
pool water chemicals, and general use. The lifespan of pool plaster is approximately four to five
years, depending on water chemistry and general usage totals.
The existing coping has become pitted and discolored over this time, and the tile grout has
deteriorated to the point that the tiles are coming loose from the pool wall. The existing pool plaster
has begun to delaminate from the sub-surface, causing cracks and chipped areas of plaster. Due to
these factors, the overall appearance of the indoor pool has become unsightly in recent years and
does not meet the high standards for the aesthetic quality of this beautiful facility.
2
Failure to replace the tile, coping, and plaster at this time would result in further deterioration of
these areas, which would result in closure of the indoor pool for extended periods of time for
repairs.
The Parks and Recreation operating budget for FY 13-14 includes funding to replace the pool
plaster, tile, and coping. A local pool service company, Sunbelt Pools, has submitted a price quote
for the project that falls within the amount budgeted by the department. Sunbelt Pools is a
commercial pool construction and renovation company, and their track record for quality work is
well known in the Parks and Recreation Department, and in the area. Sunbelt Pools is a member of
the BuyBoard cooperative purchasing consortium, which has acquired bids for this type of service.
The work would take place in December, and the indoor pool would be closed approximately four
weeks for completion of the project.
Legal Review:
This agenda item did not require legal review.
Fiscal Impact:
The fiscal impact of this agenda item is $65,136.00, which is carried in the Parks and Recreation
Departments operating budget for FY 13-14.
Recommendation:
The Parks and Recreation Department recommends that the City enter into an agreement with
Sunbelt Pools, Inc., for the replacement of the indoor pool plaster, tile, and coping at the Aquatic
and Recreation Center.

MEMORANDUM
To:Mayor and City Council
From:Chad Beach, Assistant Director of Finance
Date:October 9, 2013
Reference:Consider approval of an ordinance approving a negotiated settlement with Atmos
Energy Corp., Mid-Tex Division, regarding the Rate Review Mechanism filing and
finding the attached Tariffs implementing the new rates within the corporate city
limits of the City of Coppell are just and reasonable.
2030:Sustainable City Government
Introduction:
The City of Coppell, along with 164 other cities served by Atmos Energy Corporation, Mid-Tex Division
(“Atmos Mid-Tex” or “Company”), is a member of the Atmos Cities Steering Committee (“ACSC” or
“Steering Committee”). On or about July 15, 2013 Atmos filed with the City an application to increase
natural gas rates pursuant to the Rate Review Mechanism renewed by the City in 2013. The Atmos filing
requested to increase natural gas rates to generate an additional $22.7 million in system-wide revenues
and this request has been negotiated down to an increase of approximately $16.6 million. This proposed
settlement is expected to increase the average residential customer’s bill by approximately $0.74 cents per
month.
Analysis:
The Atmos Cities Steering Committee and our consultants recommend approval of this Ordinance
approving the negotiated settlement. Our consultants and ACSC legal counsel believe this
settlement is considerably more favorable than a rate case that would be decided by the Railroad
Commission or the legislatively-authorized GRIP (Gas Reliability Infrastructure Program) rate
making method used prior to the RRM method.
Purpose of the Ordinance:
The purpose of the Ordinance is to approve the rates as shown on “Attachment A” to the Ordinance. These
rates are the result of the negotiated settlement between the coalition of cities and Atmos pursuant to the
more favorable rate-making RRM process.
2
Legal Review:
The agenda item was reviewed by legal as part of the agenda packet. The Ordinance and the
“Attachment A – RRM Tariffs” was prepared and approved by Geoffrey Gay, our utility rate
attorney.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no direct fiscal impact to the City of Coppell.
Recommendation:
The Finance Department recommends approval.

MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Mac Tristan, Chief of Police
Date: October 22, 2013
Reference: Revision to Dangerous Dog Ordinance
2030: Coppell 2030, Healthy Neighborhoods
Introduction:
This revision is intended to clarify the establishment of enforcement fees related to dangerous dog
violations.
Analysis:
The City of Coppell Master Fee Schedule lists the annual fee for dangerous dog registration at
$100.
Article 9-1 Animal Services, Section 9-1-18 Dangerous Dogs:
Subsection (C)(1)(b) Registration states:
“Pays an annual registration fee established by resolution of the city council from time to time”
Subsection (B)(1)(a) Requirements for owner of dangerous dog, states:
“Register the dangerous dog with the Animal Services Manager or their designated representative
and pay an annual registration fee of $500.00.”
Changing the wording in section 9-1-18 (B)(1)(a) to:
“Register the dangerous dog with the Animal Services Manager or their designated representative
and pay an annual registration fee as set by resolution” will make the code consistent and fees can
be changed in the future by revising the master schedule without the need to revise the ordinance.
Legal Review:
Agenda item was reviewed by David Dodd on September 24, 2013.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact attached to this agenda item.
Recommendation:
2
The Police Department has found this ordinance to be supportive of the Coppell 2030 Master Plan
in Maintaining Healthy and Safe Neighborhoods and this revision will clarify the application of
fees. The Police Department recommends this ordinance be amended in accordance with the
attached exhibit of Section 9-1-18 Dangerous Dogs.

To: Mayor and City Council
From: Tony Pletcher, Police Captain
Date: October 14, 2013
Reference: Update to Solicitors Ordinance
2030: Coppell 2030, Healthy Neighborhoods
Introduction:
In 1997, the City Council passed and adopted an ordinance (Article 6-2) entitled “Peddlers and
Solicitors”. The ordinance established specific regulations required to solicit within the city limits
of Coppell.

After the large hail storm of April 2012, the city was inundated with solicitors from roofing
companies. Though the Police Department conducted background checks on all applicants, there
was no authority to deny a permit in the current ordinance.
Legal Review:
Agenda item was reviewed by David Dodd.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact attached to this agenda item.
Recommendation:
The Police Department has found this ordinance to be supportive of the Coppell 2030 Master Plan
in Maintaining Healthy and Safe Neighborhoods.
The Police Department recommends this ordinance be amended.
