We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each
major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund infonnation of the City of Coppell, Texas (the "City") as of and for the
year ended September 30, 2015, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City'S
basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
Management's responsibility for the financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and
maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in
accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we
plan and perfonn the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the flnancial statements are free from material
misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the fmancial
statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material
misstatement of the flnancial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor
considers internal control relevant to the City's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to
design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on
the effectiveness of the City'S internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating
the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of signiflcant accounting estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the fmancial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufflcient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial
position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund
infonnation of the City of Coppell, Texas as of September 30 , 2015, and the respective changes in financial position and,
where applicable, cash flows thereof, and the budgetary comparison for the General Fund, for the year then ended in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Emphasis of matter
As disclosed in Note 15 to the fmancial statements, the City adopted new accounting guidance in fiscal year 2015 related
to the accounting for pensions . Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Other matters
Required supplementary information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Management's Discussion and
Analysis on pages 13 through 26, the Texas Municipal Retirement System Schedule of Changes in Net Pension liability
and Related Ratios on page 75, the Texas Municipal Retirement System Schedule of Contributions on page 76, the
Schedule of Other Post-Employment Benefits Funding Progress on page 77, and the Schedule of Other Post-
Employment Benefits Contributions on page 78 be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such
information, although not a required part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting
Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic fmancial statements
in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. This required supplementary information is the
responsibility of management. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in
accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. These limited procedures consisted
of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for
consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic fmancial statements, and other knowledge we
obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on
the info=ation because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide
any assurance.
Supplementary information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the
City's basic financial statements. The combining fund financial statements, and individual non-major fund budget to actual
schedules are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements.
Such supplementary information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the
underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The information has been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic fmancial statements and certain additional procedures.
These additional procedures included comparing and reconciling the info=ation directly to the underlying accounting
and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other
additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our
opinion, the supplementary information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements
as a whole.
Other information
The introductory section, statistical section, reports for management, and continuing financial disclosure tables are
presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information
has not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements, and accordingly,
we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on it.

MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Mario Canizares, Deputy City Manager
Date: February 18, 2016
Reference: Presentation Regarding the Transportation Survey
2030: Community Wellness & Enrichment
Introduction:
Since late 2013, city staff has been working on the issue of potentially incorporating Senior and Para
Transit into the community. Since then the issue of this type of transit has been discussed with
citizens in private conversations, at City Council work sessions, with CISD personnel, at public
meetings, and through input via a community survey.
The purpose of the work session item is to provide a status update to the City Council of what has
occurred since late 2015 including a review of the community survey that was conducted between
December 2015 and January 2016. The attached survey document is 45 pages in length. The first 28
pages have been summarized into two pages and the final fourteen pages have been removed because
it contained the respondents contact information.
Analysis:
This item did not require analysis.
Legal Review, Fiscal Impact, and Recommendation:
There is no legal review, fiscal impact, or recommendation required.

4 Many of the streets and highway crossings are really difficult to navigate safely on a bike. Also, biking in coppell
around rush hour is pretty much unsafe as it currently stands. Note: I still manage to bike 70 miles a week within the
city limits, despite this.
1/29/2016 1:17 PM
5 I want the kids to have a free bus system provided, which will ease traffic on the roads and be easier on the parents
too. More parents/students would want that to happen with less stress of being their kids on time to school due to
overcrowded roads and not endangering kids safety because due to lack of buses kids ride bikes or walk to schools
which make it dangerous for them. Please do something for our city kids rather than only providing school buses for
valley ranch/irving kids. The weather In Texas is too hot or too cold for kids to walk/bike, so I strongly suggest for the 2
mile rule to be revised.

Q20 Providing longer trips and going farther
outside the service area (i.e. Coppell in this
case), means less overall service compared
to a smaller or more “central” service area.
Would you be willing to change some
desired trip locations “closer to home” if it
meant more overall trip availability during
service hours?

be very happy to use this kind of service. I am sure the cost will be encouraging.

12/26/2015 12:34 PM
106 Transit from some locations in Coppell to the DART rail station in Carrollton would help. In the question 20 about less
availability closer to home to allow more overall service - I take that to mean local closer to home van/bus routes
would be fewer times per day instead of more frequently to allow a van/bus to be used for the longer trips - yes that
options helps.

Additionally, some medical providers are based in Irving, Grapevine and Carrollton, but other than via private
transportation there is no other means to make it to appointments at the places.

difficult to get him to his part time job, my full time job, my second job, and my son to school. It would be nice to have a
bus that would go to Brookhaven college and parts of North Dallas or to a local dart station.

decision in the 1980s or 1990s to decline to join DART was short-sighted and unfortunate (as was Coppell's decision
not to buy the TXU property at North Lake before Billingsley bought and developed it, but that is for another discussion

area lately. One major reason we chose this area was the due to its reputation for community and that it seemed quite
safe. I and my family use these streets for cycling and feel like changes need to be made to ensure, or at least
improve, safety for bikers.

5 Students need more transportation options. We've had way too many accidents involving bike riders.1/29/2016 10:14 AM
6 I am a transition teacher at Coppell HS and see a huge need for our students that arent able to Drivecor ever get a
license. Ver are trying to get them jobs, but they have no way to travel.

7 The Metrocrest buses are so very uncomfortable and for me dangerous. I am petite 4'11" and with only a lap seat belt
(foot don't touch the floor) when the driver break I have to struggle to keep from sliding under my seat belt and on to
the floor. There are no straps for me to hold on to. Harness seat belts would be much safer for me and everyone. I get
motion sickness because the ride is so very bumpy. Like my grandfather's corn wagon on a dirt road. But I am just
thankful to have a ride. I take Dramamine before each trip. Please have harness seat belts at least and/or straps on
which one can hold. A trip to the Baylor Hospital in Irving is truly a frightening experience.

8 I think as I grow older, it's going to be more difficult for me to get my disabled sister to her programs 1/28/2016 8:27 PM
9 This would be a great service to our disabled community here in coppell.1/28/2016 7:23 PM
10 Currently I am able to cope with my wife's disability, but as I age this may become more difficult. I currently have no
real need for transportation but foresee a future in which I will.
1/28/2016 3:04 PM
11 I am okay with public shuttles for seniors and disabled living in Coppell, but am completely against major public transit
such as a DART bus.
1/28/2016 12:30 PM
12 I was unaware that there were transportation options within the area when needed. It is good to know if futur problems
occur. No additional info at this time. Thank you.
1/27/2016 10:57 PM
13 No 1/27/2016 4:04 PM
14 I attempted to answer this survey from the viewpoint of my son who is 16 yrs. of age. He 1/23/2016 1:28 PM
15 I teach fitness classes at the CORE and there have been a few people over the years who have started coming to
class but then stopped b/c they found it very challenging to drive themselves to the facility. Some kind of "gadabout"
shuttle that can be scheduled ahead of time would be of great benefit. Also I hope that you are going to the local
senior centers and nursing homes to gather info, rather than expecting people to find this survey online and complete
it. Thank you for your concern about this topic.
1/22/2016 5:55 PM
16 Training and consistency of staff is extremely important.1/21/2016 4:40 PM
17 There is a DART stop near my work but it is also the closest place to park and ride so that doesn't do mea any good. If
there was a stop in Coppell I would walk to the stop, ride the train, and then walk to work.
1/19/2016 4:24 PM
18 Why Coppell doesn't have DART Bus service? It is disconnecting us from large DART service area.1/19/2016 4:15 PM
19 My husband and I have a 22 year old disabled child who will be graduating from CHS in June, therefore will be with
me on a 24/7 basis. She has cerebral palsy, mental retardation (on a toddler level), is non-verbal and must have
assistance in every aspect of her life. I am 60 years old, my husband is 61 and having transportation in the future
would most definitely be helpful for our daughter's future just for social interaction in itself. One of the most enjoyable
things in our daughter's life is to travel in the car - anywhere. Having public transportation would be not only practical
but an outlet to look forward to for a person who enjoys getting out.

Survey of Transportation Needs In the City of Coppell
20 While I don't presently have any disabilities to prohibit me from driving, I know that day will come. It would be great to
feel independent in getting around and meeting my needs.
1/17/2016 6:03 PM
21 This service is very important and to provide a safe and reliable transportation system for seniors and disabled people.
This would help seniors feel more independent and take the burden off family members to transport elderly or
disabled family members.
1/16/2016 7:49 PM
22 I have impression from survey there may be some services I am not aware of & would like to find out more 1/15/2016 7:53 AM
23 N/A 1/14/2016 2:10 PM
24 we are thinking about having elderly parents move in with us, but because there is very little support for seniors,
including transportation options, we might not be able to do so. Our parents currently live on Cape Cod in
Massachusetts. Where they are now, the COA (Council on Aging) provides low cost, door to door trips to doctors,
shopping, etc. I recommend Coppell look at what other towns in other states like Massachusetts to get good models of
excellent support for seniors.
1/14/2016 12:50 PM
25 It would be helpful to have a bus-pass or transportation pass which can be purchased to make the trips affordable, as
an alternative to pay-per-trip.
1/14/2016 12:20 PM
26 It should not cost $2.50 to $3.00 to ride in the city limits of Coppell. DART is cheaper than that.1/13/2016 10:42 PM
27 The bicycle trails are very useful. Closing important links (for example, while the library is being renovated) causes
severe routing problems. Paths should always be maintained in cases like this; failure to do so is culpable.
1/13/2016 8:18 PM
28 at this time, transportation services are not required, but as my spouse and I continue to age, and desire to live in
Coppell, we can see where they would become necessary
1/13/2016 3:17 PM
29 Getting info to me would be different to River Oaks getting info.1/13/2016 2:54 PM
30 I still would like local transportation services within the City of Coppell as a continuous bus loop throughout the day:
Services to all Banks and Credit Unions Sevices to all food markets, drug stores, etc.
1/13/2016 2:31 PM
31 DART is not the answer. A local buss similar to fort worth's Molly the trolly would be fun. Improved bike and walking
paths would be great.
1/13/2016 2:17 PM
32 Not really 1/13/2016 1:51 PM
33 no 1/13/2016 10:52 AM
34 This could be a very valuable service for people with disabilities who can find supported work but can't get there.1/13/2016 10:21 AM
35 If my comments are worth something: Coppell is a small city and Doesn't need public transportation. Most
RESIDENTS own a car or two and drive their old parents from and to places. We do not want more traffic by adding
public transportation to bring people from other towns to our city. What is the cost of adding public transportation?
Who will pay for it?? Thanks for listening.
1/13/2016 9:03 AM
36 I don't personally need services but I am an advocate for people with special needs and work in Coppell 1/12/2016 5:00 PM
37 No 1/12/2016 8:32 AM
38 Think the program needs to be for seniors and not kids,etc as some suggested in meeting I attended.1/8/2016 11:29 PM

40 in an apartment complex there are no water bills to receive the inserts. please use another method.1/7/2016 10:01 PM
41 Would have to be affordable.1/7/2016 9:21 PM
42 Although the this is not an eventual service for my immediate family at this time, I feel that this is a very important
service for our community.
1/7/2016 6:25 PM
43 No Thanks 1/7/2016 6:16 PM
44 I would ride bus to ymca ,grocery stores , old town, church, and library Possibly we would become a one car couple I

46 Consider working with both Span and Metrocrest to take advantage of each group's strengths.1/7/2016 7:43 AM
47 I believe Coppell should have transportation especially for those who need it, i.e. the elderly and disabled. Thank you.1/6/2016 3:33 PM
48 The bus or Taxi must be black and have similar status as our own POV, would not be seen riding in marked or poorly
kept older vehicles. This is COPPELL you know

49 Nice to see that Coppell is looking into transportation services for its residents who want to travel out of the city but
may not be able to.
1/6/2016 2:43 PM
50 No.1/6/2016 1:14 PM
51 I have been in 3 auto accidents in last 2 years. None were my fault, but traffic congestion, unskilled drivers, &
construction were factors. I have become very conscious of the dangers we face in heavy traffic or around careless
drivers who are not aware of others, or rules of the road.
1/6/2016 12:59 PM
52 Even a "Park and Ride" to the airport for residents would be amazing...1/4/2016 10:55 AM
53 I don't think it is a good idea for new drivers (16-17) to be driving as much as they do in Coppell. A link between CHS
and North Lake would benefit the entire community by getting the newbie drivers OFF the roads as much as possible.
Also, even for people who have no disabled children, the COST of purchasing and insuring a third car, just to access a
class not available at CHS is prohibitive. I hope you can work WITH CISD to get a regular schedule in place---
probably one bus in the morning and maybe two in the afternoon would be sufficient. Good luck, and thanks for trying
to pull this together.
1/4/2016 8:46 AM
54 As citizens of Coppell age, there will be much more need for this. I didn't realize how difficult it is to shop, go to
church, go to Medical until I've been faced w/this reality. Most want to stay in their home, but you are marooned and
forced to do something else.
1/3/2016 7:17 PM
55 If service is limited to local service (i.e. within Coppell), you should consider allowing reimbursement for trips within the
DFW metroplex for appropriate reasons. These would include education, work, medical, travel to Airport to catch a
plane. This would allow you to offer targeted support without having to expand the entire program broadly.
1/3/2016 12:06 PM
56 One thing I like about Coppell is that we are not part of the DART system. I believe that keeps "undesireables" from
coming to our city for nefarious reasons. It keeps us safer not being part of DART, yet we are close enough to
Carrollton to use it when we want to.
1/1/2016 3:40 PM
57 We need DART service closer to coppell 12/31/2015 7:18 PM
58 no 12/31/2015 7:14 PM
59 I would not want additional taxes to be imposed on all citizens for transportation that is not used or needed. If such a
program were implemented, it should be paid for by those that use it or want it.
12/31/2015 6:46 PM
60 Contacting by text would be nice 12/31/2015 6:44 PM
61 Coppell needs to develop it's transportation infrastructure for everyone not just seniors and disabled.12/29/2015 7:03 AM
62 I am not a senior or disabled. I am just a middle aged working adult.12/29/2015 4:39 AM
63 What about using a Taxi service or Uber--would that be cheaper overall vs. creating a special service?12/28/2015 9:28 PM
64 These questions are written for the user and not as a caretaker of an adult with a disability. I answered them for my
son to use the service. Right now I drive him every where he needs to go.
12/28/2015 3:26 PM
65 That is why I live in Coppell, because there is NO public transportation. I feel it just is a easy way for crime to come
into our beautiful, safe city.
12/27/2015 6:56 PM
66 As people age, driving long distances on the major highways becomes more troublesome so I am happy to see you
taking the time to explore this! I would love to be able to get out more and have found my disability and transportation
a major issue in deciding where to live in the future. Thank you for remembering people like me!
12/26/2015 6:30 PM
67 reference # 14 reply - monthly. pending on service routes, frequentcy of service would potentionally use weekly. senior
center needs to be a stop on route
12/26/2015 12:34 PM
68 Coppell opted out DART, but retained the sales tax to pay for roads. This doesn't serve a portion of population well at
all.
12/26/2015 10:01 AM
69 It would be great to have public transportation in Coppell for everyone, not just seniors and disabilities. Imagine the
reduction in parking lots and traffic congestion if we all had safe public transportation from neighborhoods to places
like the parks, shopping areas, aquatic center, etc.

74 It is about time for Coppell to admit some kind of public transportation. Not everyone living in this City has the blessing
of being able to drive or even own a vehicle if not able to drive it oneself and pay for a driver. This change would make
my already difficult life a little easier and maybe a little more fun. Thanks for the opportunity and willingness to make a
change for the good.

MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Gary L. Sieb, Director of Planning
Date: February 23, 2016
Reference: Work Session discussion on guidelines associated with noise attenuation
2030: Business Prosperity
Introduction:
The intent of this work session item is to seek Council’s direction regarding noise attenuation
construction techniques which could be required in future single family construction standards if new
residences are adversely affected by high noise levels.
Analysis:
Currently, the City of Coppell has an agreement with D/FW Airport to not allow residential development
within the 65 DNL. The DNL is a cumulative measure of the noise exposure during a 24-hour calendar
day. A 10 decibel (dB) penalty is added to noise events occurring between 10:00 p.m. and 7 a.m. to
reflect their greater intrusiveness and potential for disturbing sleep. The DNL contour was included on
the most recent Comprehensive Master Plan adopted in 2011. If a residential development is approved
in close proximity to this line, it has been the policy of the city to have the surveyor include a note on
the plat. In some instances, the developer was requested to dedicate an avigation easement and ensure
that noise attenuation techniques will be used to reduce outdoor noise levels to acceptable indoor noise
levels.
In the case of recent Old Town Coppell residential rezonings, noise associated with airplane overflight
was a concern. For noise reduction for the first phase of the Darling proposal (44 lots), the developer
and Building Official agreed to certain Sound Transmission Class (STC) Ratings and the construction
methods as required in the development agreement. The STC ratings will be discussed in the workshop.
These were thought to effectively attenuate the outdoor noise levels to acceptable indoor noise levels.
In the Hammond Road case, airplane noise was again a major concern. Within the last five years or so,
Council has approved eight subdivisions within a close proximity to the 65 DNL (approximately 175
new residential lots). In an effort to be more consistent in regulating single family development and
redevelopment in close proximity to the 65 DNL, staff researched noise attenuation techniques of other
cities and found that the majority prohibit any residential development within the 65 DNL. Those that
allow it only do so conditioned upon certain levels of noise reduction.
2
Legal Review:
This item was discussed with the City Attorney and it was determined that a zoning overlay would be
the most practical method of establishing standards for noise attenuation for single family residential
construction if so desired by the City Council.
Fiscal Impact:
None
Recommendation:
The Planning Department is recommending an overlay zone near the 65 DNL be established to extend
1,500 feet from the current DNL established in 1992. Within the zone, a 25 dB NLR is proposed to be
required.

MEMORANDUM

From: Clay Phillips, City Manager
Date: February 19, 2016
Re: 2017 Spirit of Coppell Celebration and AB Park Grand Opening
2030: Sense of Community, Special Place to Live, Community Wellness & Enrichment
Introduction:
We are beginning the work to prepare for the exciting opening of the Andy Brown
Park complex that will coincide with the annual Spirit of Coppell Independence Day
activities in July 2017. A number of items must be determined soon to provide
adequate time to plan and execute what should be a major special event to
commemorate both the country’s birthday and the grand opening of the park. Staff
would like to receive some direction or concurrence regarding:
1) the date of the event,
2) some potential added elements to the event,
3) the possibility of obtaining major sponsorships for the event.
Analysis:
1) The 4th of July holiday falls on a Tuesday in 2017. This would typically result in us
hosting the celebration in the park, including the fireworks, on Monday, July 3. We
believe most people will be working on July 3 and will observe the traditional July 4
holiday. We are concerned that the time available to host the event on July 3 would be
compressed and would then limit the event more than anyone would want. Staff
believes we could plan and deliver a much more enjoyable and appropriate event if we
were to host the fireworks and related events on Saturday, July 1, 2017. Doing so
would enable us to host multiple events throughout the day to showcase the entire park
system in addition to the music in the park and fireworks. We would then host the
annual parade on July 4th as is customary and expected.
2
2) One of the potential additions to the offerings made available as part of the event
could be a designated area, a yet to be named restaurant row of sorts. We have
discussed approaching some of our restaurants to see if there would be interest in
creating a very nice outdoor area on the grounds where several could co-locate and
serve dinner on the grounds with what would most likely be a prix-fixed menu from
each participating restaurant. Interested parties would make reservations with their
preferred restaurant prior to the event. The space could also allow for the service of
beer and wine in a classier venue than we previously provided. Given the number of
attendees expected, the food trucks and other food service vendors should still have
more business than they can handle.
3) As we will be unveiling the new park in connection with the July 4th activities, it
might be the right time to seek some major sponsorships to offset the costs associated
with the event. Sponsorships could be sought for a number of elements. The main
title sponsor, the main stage/band, the restaurant area, food truck alley, and other
elements could be attractive sponsorship opportunities for businesses.
Legal Review:
None required at this time.
Fiscal Impact:
The overall fiscal impact is undetermined at this time. Depending upon the direction
given, staff will prepare the budget for the event beginning this summer. Additional
expenses to fund a more impactful fireworks show and band will add some costs to the
event.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends Council allow the planning, development, funding, and delivery of
the 2017 Spirit of Coppell Celebration in a manner consistent with the traditional
holiday while also showcasing the new park system and special event grounds.

MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Ken Griffin, P.E., Director of Engineering and Public Works
Date: February 23, 2016
Reference: Consider approval of an Ordinance abandoning a water line easement and a portion
of a utility easement on Prologis Park
2030: Sustainable City Government, Goal 3
Excellent and Well-maintained City Infrastructure and Facilities
General Information:
Water line easement originally established in 1982
Utility easement originally established in 1979
The water line and sanitary sewer have been relocated.
New easements have been dedicated with the Final plat.
These easements are no longer needed by the city.
Introduction:
This agenda item is for approval of an ordinance abandoning a water line easement and a portion of
a utility easement on Prologis Park.
Analysis:
Prologis is developing the land once known as the Callejo Tract. They are adding several warehouse
buildings with the necessary infrastructure to support these. The existing water line and sewer line
that have been there for years needed to be relocated in order for Prologis to be able to construct
several of their buildings. The City relocated the waterline with the Freeport Parkway project and
Prologis relocated the sewer line with their project. The locations of the easements were also
relocated and dedicated on the final plat and the old easements need to be abandoned.
Legal Review:
This ordinance was reviewed by David Dodd.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no Fiscal impact.

Recommendation:
The Engineering Department recommends approval of the abandonment ordinance.

MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Ken Griffin, P.E., Director of Engineering and Public Works
Date: February 23, 2016
Reference: Speed Limit for Freeport Parkway (Creekview Drive to S.H. 121)
2030: Sustainable City Government, Goal 3
Excellent and Well-maintained City Infrastructure and Facilities
Introduction:
This agenda item is being presented for approval of a speed limit ordinance in the most recently
reconstructed portion of Freeport Parkway from Creekview Drive to S. H. 121.
Analysis:
Improvements to Freeport Parkway have been complete for a few months from a two-lane asphalt
street to a four-lane divided boulevard. At this point in time, traffic in the area has normalized so
the Engineering Department took an opportunity to perform a ‘Volume and Speed Study’ to
determine the correct speed limit on Freeport Parkway, from Sandy Lake Road to Creekview Drive.
On January 20, 2016, ‘Volume and Speed Surveys’ were taken at two locations along Freeport
Parkway for both northbound and southbound traffic.
Roadway Segment Northbound Southbound
85% Speed ADT 85% Speed ADT
Freeport Parkway Sandy Lake south to Bridge 44 3635 47 2835
Freeport Parkway Bridge south to Ruby Road 44 3651 45 2863
If the speed limits were strictly set on 85th percentile speeds, a variety of speeds ranging from 40 to
50 mph might be recommended. However, when you take into account that the speed limit on the
south side of this segment of roadway is set to 40 mph, it makes sense for this area to also be 40
mph.
Considering all these factors, it is recommended that the speed limit on Freeport Parkway, from
Sandy Lake Road to Creekview Drive be increased from 30 mph to 40 mph. This would provide a
consistent speed limit for 40 mph for all the currently constructed sections of Freeport Parkway in
the Coppell City limits. In addition, staff is recommending that the northern section of Freeport
2
Parkway, currently under construction from Sandy Lake Road to S.H. 121, be set at a 40 mph speed
limit.
Legal Review:
This agenda item was reviewed by Robert Hager on 2/8/2016.
Fiscal Impact:
The 40 mph signs cost approximately $50 each to be made and installed and will be funded through
Traffic General funds.
Recommendation:
The Engineering Department recommends the approval of setting the speed limit for Freeport
Parkway, in its entirety to 40 mph.

2030: Sustainable City Government, Goal 3
Excellent and Well-maintained City Infrastructure and Facilities
Introduction:
This agenda item is being presented for approval of a speed limit ordinance in the most recently
reconstructed portion of W. Sandy Lake Road.
Analysis:
Improvements to W. Sandy Lake Road have been complete for several months from a two-lane
asphalt street to a four-lane divided boulevard. At this point in time, traffic in the area has
normalized so the Engineering Department took an opportunity to perform a ‘Volume and Speed
Study’ to determine the correct speed limit on Sandy Lake Road, from Denton Tap Road to
Freeport Parkway.
On January 20, 2016, ‘Volume and Speed Surveys’ were taken at three locations along Sandy Lake
Road for both eastbound and westbound traffic.
Roadway Segment Eastbound Westbound
85% Speed ADT 85% Speed ADT
Sandy Lake Road Denton Tap to

S. Coppell Road
49 mph 8299 48 mph 6977
Sandy Lake Road S. Coppell Road to
N. Coppell Road
43 mph 5527 51 mph 5911
If the speed limits were strictly set on 85th percentile speeds, a variety of speeds ranging from 40 to
50 mph might be recommended. However, when you take into account that the speed limit on both
2
the east and west sides of this segment of roadway is set to 40 mph, it makes sense for this area to
also be 40 mph.
After opening Sandy Lake Road to four-lane divided boulevard, staff received complaints regarding
sight visibility at the intersection of Winding Hollow. Specifically northbound Winding Hollow
turning onto Sandy Lake. A sight visibility analysis was performed at both the 35 mph speed limit
as well as a 40 mph speed limit and while visibility is tight, it was determined that sufficient
distance was available for this movement. An all way stop/traffic signal warrant analysis was also
performed and it was determined that neither a traffic signal or all-way stop was warranted at this
location.
Considering all these factors, it is recommended that the speed limit on Sandy Lake Road, from
Denton Tap Road to Freeport Parkway be increased from 35 mph to 40 mph. This would provide a
consistent speed limit of 40 mph for all of Sandy Lake Road in the Coppell City limits.
Legal Review:
This agenda item was reviewed by Robert Hager on 2/8/16.
Fiscal Impact:
The 40 mph signs cost approximately $50 each to be made and installed and will be funded through
Traffic General funds.
Recommendation:
The Engineering Department recommends the approval of setting the speed limit for Sandy Lake
Road, in its entirety to 40 mph.

MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Mac Tristan, Chief of Police
Date: February 17, 2016
Reference: Three Year Review of Curfew Ordinance
2030: Coppell 2030, Healthy Neighborhoods
Introduction:
In March of 2000 the City Council passed and adopted a curfew ordinance (No. 2000-906) entitled
"Curfew Hours for Minors". The ordinance established specific curfew hours and penalties for
violations thereof. Chapter 370.002 of the Texas Local Government Code requires that the City
Council review the Article and conditions the ordinance was intended to remedy, conduct public
hearings on the need to continue the ordinance, and determine whether to abolish, continue, or modify
the ordinance. This is to occur three (3) years from its date of passage and every third year thereafter.
In March 2003, February 2007, January 2010, and February 2013 the City Council readopted and
extended this Ordinance.
Analysis:
In 2015, The Coppell Police Department issued a total of 15 citations for curfew violations. This
number is an increase from previous years (2013 – 4, 2014 – 9). After surveying our surrounding
cities, we found that all, with the exception of Grapevine, still have a curfew ordinance.
Legal Review:
Agenda item was reviewed by David Dodd on February 17, 2016.
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. Further it is a useful tool not only for our officers but
to the parents and businesses of Coppell. This ordinance allows our parents to provide a guideline for
controlling the hours kept by their children under the age of 17.
The Police Department recommends this ordinance be continued and renewed without modifications
for the next three years.

MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Ken Griffin, P.E., Director of Engineering and Public Works
Date: February 23, 2016
Reference: Reconstruction of Plantation Drive & Mossy Oaks Street
2030: Sustainable City Government, Goal 3
Excellent and Well-maintained City Infrastructure and Facilities
General Information:
Plantation Drive was originally constructed in two phases in 1984 & 1985.
Mossy Oaks Street was originally constructed in 1984.
Engineering Services contract for design of both roads is $325,600.00.
Estimated construction cost is $3,843,000.00 for both roads.
Introduction:
This agenda item is being presented for approval to enter into a design contract with Pape Dawson
Engineers in the amount of $325,600.00 for paving and utility reconstruction of Plantation Drive and
Mossy Oaks Street.
Analysis:
In order to provide excellent and well maintained city infrastructure, the citizens of Coppell
authorized the use of ¼ cent sales tax revenue to be allocated for the reconstruction of our streets.
Through an analysis of all streets within the City of Coppell, both Plantation Drive and Mossy Oaks
Street were identified as in need of reconstruction. The engineering design is budgeted in the 2015-
2016 fiscal year.
The item before you this evening will involve engineering design for paving and utility
reconstruction. The project improvements will include replacing the existing sanitary sewer, existing
water, storm drainage improvements and full paving and sidewalk replacement.
Where full paving reconstruction is occurring, aging water and sewer lines and services will be
replaced. Enhancement of the existing storm drainage collection system and new city sidewalks will
also be part of the full paving reconstruction portion.
Legal Review:
The City’s standard construction contract has been reviewed by legal periodically, with changes made
as requested.
Fiscal Impact:
The fiscal impact of this Agenda item is $325,600.00 for the street reconstruction design.
Recommendation:
The Engineering Department recommends approval of this contract with Pape-Dawson Engineers.

Coppell, TX 75019
Subject: Proposal for certain engineering and surveying services for the reconstruction of
Plantation Drive and Mossy Oaks Street, City of Coppell, Texas.
Dear Ms. Brierton:
Pape-Dawson Engineers are pleased to present this proposal for providing certain civil
engineering and surveying services in connection with the above referenced project. It is our
understanding that approximately 4,300 LF of Plantation Drive, and approximately 600 LF of
Mossy Oaks are being considered for reconstruction efforts by the City of Coppell, Texas.
PROJECT DESCRIPTIONS
PLANTATION DRIVE
This portion of the project consists of providing construction documents for reconstructing 4,300
LF of Plantation Drive from the intersection of Coppell Road to the intersection with W. Bethel
School Road. Beginning at Coppell Road, the first 3,450 LF of Plantation Drive is the typical
37’ residential street section within a 60’ right-of-way, transitioning to a boulevard section with a
20’ landscaped median for the remaining 850’ within a varying right-of-way section. This
project will replace the existing sanitary sewer, existing domestic water facilities, alley
approaches, and driveways within the rights-of-way. We will prepare hydrologic and hydraulic
calculations during the conceptual planning stage to determine adequacy of the existing storm
drainage outfall, and note any areas of the drainage system that may warrant upgrading. This
project will also include the actual redesign of the storm drainage system, if warranted. Our
design will consider upgrading existing drop inlet tops, identify/accept any found French
drainage systems, and providing any new drop inlets due to settled pavement areas that can
connect into the existing storm drainage system. It is our understanding the City of Coppell will
video the existing storm drainage system, and the results will be available for our design use.

Page 2 of 8
MOSSY OAKS STREET
This portion of the project consists of providing construction documents for reconstructing 600
LF of Mossy Oaks Street from the intersection of Spanish Moss Court to the intersection with
Whispering Hills Drive. This section of Mossy Oaks Street is a 28 foot typical residential street
section, within a 50’ wide right-of-way. This project will replace the existing domestic water,
substandard alleyways and sidewalks within the rights-of-way. We do not anticipate any storm
drainage or sanitary sewer improvements for this portion of the project.
Our proposed scope of services and associated fees are as follows:
I. PROJECT MANAGEMENT
This task is established to represent an allowance for project management services
associated with the project.
Research and data collection with the City of Coppell Engineering Department to
gather all necessary data.
Determine exact limits of the projects, City of Coppell Standards and specific
problem areas known by the City of Coppell for the design.
Bi-weekly coordination with the City of Coppell project manager assigned to the
project during design development for progress updates.
Two (2) site visits with City representatives during the preliminary design and
research stage to view specific areas of concern.
Manage the internal/external team to meet the project schedule and deliverables.
II. TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEY
Utilize Yazel Peebles & Associates, LLC to establish datum and benchmarks for
surveyed areas based on NAD 83 grid coordinates and NGVD vertical data.
Conduct field survey setting control benchmarks throughout and adjusting the site to
known vertical monuments (if available).
Research on 102 tracts pulling deed and plat references, address will be shown on all
tracts. Rights-of-way will be verified based on found survey pins within the platted
subdivisions. Pape-Dawson does not anticipate obtaining any additional right-of-way
for the reconstruction project, and will notify the City of Coppell should any rights-
of-way be necessary for the project.
Prepare a topographic survey to tie down exposed surface utilities, meter boxes, drop
inlets, fire hydrants, valve boxes, alleyways and driveways for Plantation Drive and
Mossy Oaks Street including 150’ depths along intersecting street and alleyways.
DIGTESS will be notified of the project and underground locations will be identified.
Yazel Peebles & Associates, LLC will provide a 2016 Civil 3D surface and point data
to Pape-Dawson Engineers for improvement plan production.
