MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Mindi Hurley, Director of Community Development
Date: September 28, 2021
Reference: Work Session — Discussion regarding the expiration of the Temporary Sign
Moratorium.
2040: Create Business and Innovation Nodes
Executive Summary:
To assist businesses during COVID-19, the City placed a moratorium on enforcement of certain
sections of the Temporary Sign Ordinance. The Ordinance declaring the moratorium of enforcement
is set to expire on September 30, 2021. Staff is seeking direction from City Council on next steps.
Introduction:
Due to COVID-19, numerous businesses in the City of Coppell were required to close their doors or
limit their service offerings. As a result, their business suffered. In an effort to help them in their
recovery, the City allowed businesses more opportunities to advertise their services using on -premise
temporary signage. The City passed an Ordinance placing a moratorium on enforcement of certain
sections of Article 16, Chapter 6-15, Sections 6-15-3 (A), 6-15-4 and 6-15-5 (3) (A) and (B), (J) -(M)
and (8) of the City of Coppell Code of Ordinances.
Analysis:
The initial Ordinance was set to expire on December 31, 2020; however, City Council took action at
their meeting on December 8, 2020, to extend that Ordinance through June 30, 2021. City Council
discussed the topic once again on May 25, 2021, and an Ordinance was passed in June of 2021 to
provide an additional 3 -month extension. The current Ordinance is set to expire on September 30,
2021.
A survey was sent to businesses in Coppell to gauge the effectiveness of temporary signage. The
City received twenty-three survey responses. All twenty-three businesses utilized temporary signage
during the past eighteen months, and all twenty-three respondents felt that the additional temporary
signage helped their business. Out of the twenty-three respondents, nineteen businesses responded
that increasing the allowable number of banners each year would provide the same benefit that other
forms of temporary signage have provided.
Staff is looking for direction from City Council on next steps. If City Council would like to extend
the moratorium on enforcement of certain sections of the Temporary Sign Ordinance, staff will bring
forward an Ordinance for approval to allow a third extension of time. If City Council does not want
to provide a third extension but would like to increase the allowable number of banners each year,
staff will bring forward for approval a revision to the current Temporary Sign Ordinance to increase
the allowable number of banners each year. If City council would not like to make any changes, the
current Ordinance declaring the moratorium of enforcement will expire on September 30, 2021.

MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor and City Council
Through: Mike Land, City Manager
From: Hannah Cook, Chief Communications Strategist
Date: September 28, 2021
Reference: Social Media Policy for Elected and Appointed Officials
2040: Sustainable Government
Introduction:
As technology becomes more and more integral to daily life and social media becomes an
increasingly important method of communication, it is necessary to ensure that City spokespeople
are clearly indentifiable and official messages come from authorized sources. For this reason, staff
has drafted a Social Media Policy for Elected and Appointed Officials that provides guidelines and
recommendations to help ensure that any City -related information published is accurate, from an
identifiable source and in alignment with the Texas Public Information Act.
Background:
While elected officials and City Council -appointed board, committee and commission members
may maintain and use personal social networking sites, their status as elected/appointed officials
requires special consideration. If an elected or appointed official conducts any City business or
communication as an official from a personal account, professional account, or an account created
for board/committee/commission, officials should assume that any City -related communications
will be considered a public record subject to the Texas Public Information Act as set forth in Texas
Government Code.
Staff researched social media best practices and trends for elected officials both nationwide and in
the region. Cities across the nation are increasingly looking to adopt a policy outlining social media
guidelines for elected/appointed officials, and multiple professional resources indicated that the
Social Media for Elected/Appointed Officials adopted by the City of Durham, NC in 2017 is the
industry standard. The proposed policy being presented to the Coppell City Council is largely based
on the example from the City of Durham.
Additionally, staff polled appromately 35 cities in the Dallas Fort -Worth Metroplex to determine
regional trends. Of the eight responses received, four cities have a similar existing policy in place.
While the remaining four cities do not currently have a formal policy, each indicated that they are
looking into it.
Per Council's direction, staff has updated the proposed policy to incude definitions, record retention
guidelines and enforcement procedures.
Legal:
The proposed policy has been reviewed by the City Attorney.
Fiscal Impact:
N/A
Recommendation:
Staff is looking for feedback and approval of the proposed Social Media Policy for Elected and
Appointed Officials.
Guidelines for Elected Officials and Appointed Boards, Commissions and Committees Using
Personal or Professional Social Media Platforms
While elected officials and City Council -appointed board, committee and commission members
may maintain and use personal web pages and websites, blogs, and social networking sites,
their status as elected/appointed officials requires that the content of any postings on those
sites not be in violation of existing City laws, policies, directives, rules or regulations.
The City's image as a professional, nonpartisan organization is critical to maintaining the
respect of its constituents and operations free from personal opinions. Although the City
recognizes that elected and appointed officials may choose to express themselves by posting
personal information upon social media platforms or by making comments on sites hosted by
other persons, groups or organizations, this right of expression should not interfere with the
operation and governance of the City. That is, although the City acknowledges its officials have
the First Amendment right to free speech, the right is not absolute when involving matters of
official City business, issues or concerns.
If an elected or appointed official conducts any City business or communication as an official
from a personal account, professional account, or an account created for ar
board/committee/commission, officials should assume that any City -related communications
will be considered a public record subject to the Texas Public Information Act as set forth in
Chapter 552 of the Texas Government Code Sec. 552.002, as well as applicable portions of the
records retention laws.

City, its employees, constituents, other public officials, suppliers, vendors, or
contractors.

6. Officials are expressly prohibited from using personal or professional social media to
engage in any activity or conduct that violates federal, state, or local law. Officials are
also prohibited from using professional social media accounts to circumvent election or
campaign requirements, to campaign for re-election or endorse candidates for any
public office at any level of government or political subdivision.
7. Officials are prohibited from deleting posts and related comments regarding any City -
related matters to avoid violating record preservation requirements outlined in Texas
Government Code Sec. 552.
8. Officials should be mindful that posting content regarding City -related matters could
inadvertently result in the violation of the Open Meetings Law if enough other public
officials respond or comment on the post, resulting in a quorum. If this occurs, the
online conversation should immediately cease with no further posts by the officials and
the City Secretary should be immediately notified.
9. Officials are prohibited from using social media to engage in any activity that constitutes
a conflict of interest.
Additional Best Practices and Guidelines for Elected and Appointed Officials
The following best practices and guidelines are strongly recommended to ensure that the
personal and professional use of social media by elected and appointed officials is done so in a
responsible manner.
1. Public officials should separate personal social media accounts from professional social
media accounts so that City -related matters and all public records generated from those
posts are easily archived and to avoid city related information being intermingled with
personal posts not related to City matters.
If a professional social media account is created, . '

2. Officials should exercise caution with respect to posted comments, particularly those
concerning the City and the business of the City.
3. Officials are strongly encouraged to consider the potential impact of social media
statements prior to posting. The City strives to be professional in its operations and
processes. Posts that express favoritism and/or bias for or against any individual or
group of individuals (e.g., based upon race, gender, national origin, sexual orientation,
political affiliation, etc.), reflect poorly on the public official, as well as the City and its
residents. Further, comments suggesting such treatment can expose the City to liability
and legal costs.
4. Officials should be mindful that members of the public who may appear before the City
Council as well as boards, commissions or committees come from all walks of life. Public
comments, in any forum — including on personal and professional social media accounts
– that contain racial slurs, profane language or acronyms for profane language, express
bigotry toward a group based on race, religion, national origin, sexual orientation,
gender, gender identity, party affiliation or any other legally protected classification may
be considered conduct unbecoming.
5. Officials should consider whether liking, sharing, retweeting or commenting on any
social media posts could be perceived as an endorsement of or about the City, its
employees, constituents, other public officials, suppliers, vendors, or contractors
relating to views on various issues, including political affiliation.
6. Officials should refrain from using social media accounts to communicate with City
employees about City -related matters as this creates a public record on employees'
personal accounts that must be retained per Public Records Law outlined in Texas
Government Code Sec. 552. If elected officials want the City's official pages to respond
to a social media inquiry, the following responses are suggested:
a. Twitter: "Tagging @CityofCoppell on your inquiry so staff may respond to you
directly."
b. Facebook: "Tagging @City of Coppell on your inquiry so staff may respond to you
directly."
c. Instagram: "Tagging @cityofcoppelltx on your inquiry so staff may respond to
you directly."
d. Other platforms, such as Nextdoor: "Please contact the City of Coppell directly so
staff may respond to you. You may also submit your inquiry online by visiting
hl ,; „p, ,,;;,, ✓,,,,, ,;, „I P..f, , ,,,,,g, ,y, „,,,,„I j or by calling the City of Coppell during
business hours at 972-462-0022.”
7. Public officials should be cautious in using official City -provided logos, taglines, symbols
and photographs that belong to or are licensed by the City on personal social media
sites. Elected and appointed officials choosing to use official City -provided photographs
and identifying themselves as elected officials on personal social media sites should
tailor communications on those sites accordingly.

Date: September 28, 2021

2040: Create Business and Innovation Nodes
Introduction:
In partnership with Denton County Transportation Authority (DCTA) and Lyft, the City of Coppell
started a workforce transit test program for Coppell businesses on October 1, 2019. The one-year
program was established to study trends and gauge the need for a long-term solution to workforce
transit in Coppell.
The program started slow as staff was trying to get the word out to all Coppell businesses, but the
hope was that it would grow each month as more businesses and individuals learned about the
program. The program was beginning to gain momentum in December of 2019 and steadily increased
through March of 2020 when COVID-19 hit.
City Council approved a one-year extension to the contract with DCTA on August 25, 2020. The
contract began on October 1, 2020, and it will expire on September 30, 2021. Ridership has increased
over the past year and is being utilized by a larger number of companies. Staff is requesting to extend
the test program an additional year to continue analyzing ridership trends and data in hopes that
utilization will grow even larger as employees are beginning to return to the office after COVID-19.
Analysis:
City Council authorized staff to work with DCTA to bring back a Second Amended and Restated
Interlocal Cooperation Agreement to continue the test program for an additional year. This item is
for the approval of this contract.
Lyft will continue providing all mobility services, and DCTA will administer the contract and provide
all administrative and operational services associated with the program. The City of Coppell will
make monthly payments to DCTA for reimbursement of all costs associated with services provided
by Lyft and the monthly administrative fee.
Partnering with Lyft for the mobility service provides the greatest amount of flexibility for this test
program. Everything about the program will remain the same. Lyft will continue to pick up from the
six designated transit stops, which include the DART Trinity Mills Station, the DCTA Hebron
Station, the DART Belt Line Station, the DART Bus stop at Saintsbury and Belt Line, the DART Bus
Stop at Regent and Royal and the Trinity Metro TEXRail stop at the Grapevine -Main Street station.
Lyft will transport passengers to the businesses located within the City of Coppell.
The budget for the program will remain $50,000 for FY 21-22. Staff has consistently received
feedback from the businesses that this program has provided great benefits, and the hope is that this
upcoming year will provide data for an entire year of ridership so that an analysis can be provided on
the long-term needs for workforce transit in Coppell.

MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Steve Shore, Facilities Manager
Kent Collins, P.E., Director of Public Works
Date: September 28, 2021
Reference: Holiday Lights Program, Third Year of RFP #0168
2040: Pillar 0 - Foundation of Sustainable Government
City services will be provided in a manner that ensures high levels of customer
satisfaction.
General Information:
• RFP #0168 for Holiday Lights Program Opened August 27, 2019
• Contract includes a turn -key approach for the City's Holiday Light Program
• Contract term is effective October 1, 2019, for a two-year term, with options to renew 3
additional one-year terms
Introduction:
This agenda item is being presented to consider approval of implementing the third year of RFP #0168
for the Holiday Lights Program to Premier Lighting Enterprises, LLC. in the amount of $179,520.00
as budgeted in the General Fund; and authorizing the City Manager to sign any necessary documents.
Analysis:
The Holiday Lights Program is an annual City sponsored Special Event, which proves our dedicated
commitment to the citizens to provide continuous opportunities for building community. The
"Program" provides exterior lighting to all City facilities, the interior decorating of Town Center, the
holiday trees in front of Town Center and in Old Town as well as numerous photo opportunities
around town. In addition, the Program will include the decorating of several monuments and bridges
entering the City. The contract includes a 46' tree that will be placed at Andy Brown East for the tree
lighting ceremony. The tree will have a grand topper, making the tree 50'.
The Holiday Lights Program was bid as a Request for Proposal (RFP). This process allows the City
to award to the most responsive, responsible offeror whose proposal is the most satisfactory and
advantageous to the City based on the factors set forth in the RFP.
The vision for the Program included a turn -key solution where all City facilities rooflines are lit in
warm white, and red lights. The combination of colors provides a "pop", while keeping a traditional
look. Wreaths and sprays will also be used to decorate the facilities, monuments, and bridges.
Facilities staff conducted the reference checks on each proposal using the evaluation criteria
established.
Legal Review:
The City's standard form contract is being utilized and is reviewed periodically by the City Attorney.
Fiscal Impact:
The fiscal impact of this Agenda item is $179,520.00; as budgeted in the general fund.
Recommendation:
The Public Works Department recommends approval of this contract renewal.

Original Contract Price: $303,155.15
Final Contract Price: $303,155.15
The Shops at Willow Bend is an upscale shopping mall with over 125 stores and three anchor stores located
in Plano, TX. This property has high visibility from the heavily traveled "Dallas North Tollway", so, rather than
focus our design entirely on the courtyard/entrance areas, we wanted to create something for those passing
by on the tollway. The idea was to draw new traffic in instead of just visually entertaining those who were
already there.
We designed, proposed, and installed an array of lighting on 360 trees across the property, most of which can
be seen from the Dallas North Tollway. The bases of the trees were illuminated with alternating red and green
RGB LED wall wash fixtures, and the tree tops were covered densely with pure white C9 LEDs - every fifth
bulb being a twinkle to add a new dimension.
We also illuminated the trees in the courtyard at the main entrance, and further enhanced this area with the
addition of projectors which cast rotating lit snowflakes on the ground and on the building walls. The ones
on the ground were entertaining for the children and brought an "interactive" element to the overall project
here.
This installation of lighting along the Dallas North Tollway has become well known in North Texas and is one
of the largest displays of Christmas lighting in the area.
This project also required filing permits with the city, and submitting and revising traffic control plans to meet
the state requirements for a lane closure - all of which were handled by Premier Christmas. We used an
extensive amount of aerial equipment for the installation that included several 42' bucket trucks, 60' bucket
trucks, and an 80' articulating boom.

Denton County Courthouse on the square is a destination at Christmas time and attendance is 10,000+
people for the tree lighting ceremony. Denton County and the non-profit organization "Holiday Lighting
Association" coordinate the "Denton County Holiday Lighting Festival". There is a large, live evergreen tree at
the center of the event that has sentimental value to the county as it was donated in memory of a previous
elected official. In years prior to Premier Christmas being awarded the contract, the tree was dimly lit with few
lights. We proposed and implemented a drastic increase of the light count on the Christmas tree to 26,000
multi -colored LED mini lights which gave a complete and full foliage wrap. This made the feature item of the
ceremony impactful and noteworthy.
There are also 18 large Pecan trees - some in excess of 100 years old. The county asked for a permanent
installation of decorative lighting on these trees as they had done in the past. In years prior to Premier Christ-
mas gaining the contract, incandescent bulbs had been used for this installation and the trees regularly had
large percentages of bulbs burned out as a result. Premier Christmas installed 25,000 warm white LED Cgs
along all major arteries of the trees. We used water tight socket wire to further strengthen the durability of
the lights and strands.
For this project, we had to coordinate our work schedules with the courthouse schedule to make sure we did
not impact any events taking place or disrupt any commissioners court sessions. The use of aerial equipment
was utilized on this project and we had to lay ground protection across the courthouse lawn to prevent any
markings on the lawn by aerial equipment. We also worked closely with the facilities department as access
was needed to secure areas and breaker panels during the installation.
This project also required electrical work to which we strictly adhered by National Electric Code standards in
our installation.

For more than 14 -years, Justin Lubbers, the founder of Premier Christmas, has been a passionate Christmas
enthusiast, designer, and installer of lighting and decor projects for residences, shopping centers, malls,
HOAs, and municipalities. Since the inception of Premier Christmas in 2011, the company has seen
exponential growth - nearly doubling in size each year. We attribute this growth to our exceptional service
and delivery of quality products. Justin has extensive industry knowledge and strong business relationships
with designers, lighting manufacturers, and fabricators from around the world.
Premier Christmas currently has more than 400 Christmas lighting & decor projects across USA. In addition
to projects that we have designed and implemented - we are also routinely called upon by other industry
leaders to implement their projects as subcontractors for installation of their projects.
Outside of our busy Christmas season we maintain staff for other services such as - light pole banners,
architectural RGB LED lighting, landscape lighting, general lighting maintenance, and event lighting/decor.
Premier Christmas is organized as an "LLC" with a tax classification of "S -Corp". We are located at 1300 Hutton
Drive, #104, Carrollton, TX 75006. We currently have 40 full time employees and will add additional
seasonal staff throughout the Christmas season.
U AIII IIIICA'1111IIIC,",j' N1S
Premier Christmas plans to be thorough and detailed with all communication between project management
and City of Coppell staff. City staff will have no less than two points of cell phone contact with staff at
Premier Christmas that will be available and responsive 24 hrs/day throughout the installation time -frame.
The owner of Premier Christmas, Justin Lubbers, will serve as the lead project manager for The City of Coppell,
TX installation, and will be supported by two additional project managers, Zachary Lea, and Lane Rodgers.
Justin has had a strong passion for Christmas lighting & decor projects and been involved in all aspects of
design and implementation for 14 years. Some of the most noteworthy Christmas and lighting projects in
Texas have been personally designed, implemented, and managed by Justin. Quality is at the forefront of
every project designed and implemented by Justin.
He has traveled the country and the world to stay at the forefront of cutting edge ideas in the Christmas
industry. He has a dense network of industry leaders that he has formed strong business relationships with.
Attention to detail and exceeding expectations is what can be expected with Justin as the project manager.
Not only has Justin personally managed projects on-site, he has also led teams of other project managers as
the owner of Premier Christmas. In our peak season, there are as many as 20 jobs per day underway. Justin
realizes the importance of allocating certain tasks to other project managers within the organization. Two
additional project managers with installation and leadership ability will also be taking part in the management
of The City of Coppell project.
To develop the control plan thoroughly, we need to complete the design selection process for decor
elements and determine whether or not that phase can be achieved for the 2019 season. After this has been
completed, we will set target dates and deadlines for each phase. These deadlines will be strictly adhered to
so we can make sure we are on track and measure our performance.

MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Mike Garza, P.E., Assistant Director of Public Works
Kent Collins P.E., Director of Public Works
Date: September 28, 2021
Reference: Denton Tap Road Intersection Improvements Change Order #1
2040: Pillar 0: Sustainable City Government
Goal 4: City Services to Ensure High Levels of Customer Satisfaction
General Information:
Council awarded the construction contract to Rebcon in January 2021
Construction began in April 2021 with completion expected in May 2022
The original contract amount was $2,777,148.70.
The design includes a new right -turn lane for westbound to northbound traffic, along
with relocating the sidewalk along the north side of the new turn -lane.
This change order is to replace the sidewalk with extension of the 8' -wide trail along
Parkway from Heartz to Denton Tap.
The total for this change order is $169,755.50.
Another change order will be presented at a future council meeting for the SH 121
right turn lane onto Denton Tap Road.
Introduction
This agenda item is being presented to consider approval of a change order in the amount of
$169,755.50 for the construction of a hike and bike trail extension along Parkway Blvd., as part of
the Denton Tap Intersection improvement project; funded through bond proceeds; and authorizing
the City Manager to sign any necessary documents.
Analysis:
The original contract consists of constructing auxiliary lanes at various intersections to improve
capacity at the intersection. The intersections are:
• Denton Tap Road at Parkway Boulevard — southbound right -turn, westbound right -turn,
eastbound right -turn, northbound additional left -turn
• Denton Tap Road at Sandy Lake Road — southbound right -turn
• Denton Tap Road at Bethel School Road — northbound right -turn, southbound right -turn,
eastbound right -turn, westbound right -turn
• Denton Tap Road at E Belt Line Road/Southwestern Boulevard — southbound additional left -
turn
• An additional lane at SH 121 Frontage Road and Denton Tap will be presented for approval
during a future City Council meeting
This change order is to construct an 8 -foot side -path trail from Heartz Road to Denton Tap road on
the north side of Parkway Blvd. This trail extension was not part of the original plan but it was
discussed at the January 12th council meeting when the contract was awarded. After that meeting,
staff worked with the contractor and designer to develop a scope and amend the design. This trail will
connect to the existing trail that begins on the east side of Heartz Road that was constructed with the
Parkway Boulevard reconstruction project. The pricing in this change order is based on the unit
pricing in the existing contract.
A future item will be submitted to add one additional turn lane to the project at SH 121 frontage road
and Denton Tap. Staff has submitted plans and a permit application to TxDOT for this lane. After
TxDOT approves the permit, staff will work with Rebcon to determine final pricing and present
change order #2 at a future council meeting for approval.
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 item is $169,755.50, funded through bond proceeds.
Recommendation:
The Public Works Department recommends approval of this item.

General Information:
• In February 2016, the engineering services contract for design was awarded to Pape
Dawson at Council in the amount of $325,600.00.
• Changes in scope led to the need for change orders during design.
• Anticipated loss in sales -tax revenue led to a shift in construction to a bond -funded project.
• In October 2019, Change Order #1 was approved for $39,700.00 to perform an additional
downstream drainage study and to incorporate ADA requirements to meet the new
Coppell Design Standards.
• In April 2020 the downstream drainage study findings, including adding additional storm
drain inlets to reduce flooding, were incorporated into the plans at a cost of $10,500, which
was entered as CO 92
• In January 2021, after review of 90% set of utility plans, it was requested by Coppell that
Pape Dawson include reconstruction utility services to Delta Court, as well as re -align
sanitary sewer for constructability purposes to save cost in construction. This change was
entered as CO #3 in the amount of $18,000.00
• Change Order #4 is submitted in the amount of $38,500.00 due to expanded site visits and
meetings related to the project scope changes, and cost escalation covering the time
between original design start in February 2016 to current rates for final design and
construction administration.
Introduction:
This agenda item is being presented for approval of Change Order #4 with Pape Dawson Engineers
in the amount of $38,500.00
1
History:
In February 2016, the engineering services contract for design was awarded to Pape Dawson at
Council in the amount of $325,600.00. In October 2019, Change Order #1 was approved for
$39,700.00 to perform an additional downstream drainage study and to incorporate ADA
requirements to meet the new Coppell Design Standards. In April 2020 the downstream drainage
study findings, including adding additional storm drain inlets to reduce flooding, were incorporated
into the plans at a cost of $10,500, which was entered as CO #2. In January 2021, after review of 90%
set of utility plans, it was requested by Coppell that Pape Dawson include reconstruction utility
services to Delta Court, as well as re-align sanitary sewer for constructability purposes to save cost
in construction. This change was entered as CO #3 in the amount of $18,000.00. In August 2021,
Pape Dawson submitted information supporting an adjustment in the amount of $38,500.00 due to to
expanded site visits and meetings related to scope changes, and cost escalation covering the time
between original design start in February 2016 to current rates for final design and construction
administration.
Analysis:
Change Order #4 pushes the design contract over the 25% increase, requiring Council approval for
this change. The new Pape Dawson contract total would be $432,300.00 if Change Order 4 is
approved. As Plantation Drive construction is underway, it is not anticipated that any additional
design funds will be required to finish the project. Typically, the cost of engineering design is 10%-
15% of the construction cost. The construction cost of $5.4M would still put this design, including
change orders, well below benchmark of $540,000.00. Given the nature of the construction-phase
services, the option of finding another firm for these tasks is not realistic and would almost certainly
be more costly.
Legal Review:
The City's standard design contract is reviewed by legal periodically, with changes made as
requested.
Fiscal Impact:
The fiscal impact of this Agenda item is $38,500.00, funding provided through'/4 cent sales tax.

Ms. Jamie Brierton
City of Coppell — Public Works Department
816 S. Coppell Road
Coppell, TX 75019
Subj ect: 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.

Plantation Drive and Mossy Oaks Street Reconstruction Proposal
January 19, 2016
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:
L 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

MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Justin Vaughn, Assistant Director of Administration and Human Resources
Through: Vivyon V. Bowman, Director of Administration and Human Resources
Date: September 28, 2021
Reference: Approval of renewal proposal for Administrative Services Agreement with UMR, Inc.
Introduction:
The City Insurance Committee is recommending that we renew our existing contract with UMR for
third party administrative services. This will be the 15th year for the City of Coppell to retain UMR
to administer our Medical and Rx plan and the City has been served well by the discounts in claims
costs afforded by our relationship with UMR and access to their PPO network. The renewal will be
completed by amending the existing Administrative Services Agreement.
Analysis:
The estimated annual administrative fees for this contract year with UMR are $196,500 based on 361
covered employees which equals a 1.9% increase over the current year. UMR administrative services
include medical, health reimbursement arrangement (HRA), claims processing, utilization review, ID
card generation, internet-based web portal for employees to access claims utilization, and run -out
claims administration. UMR also provided an option for their ACO/Limited network option which
will not apply for the new plan year since the City intends to offer the most comprehensive PPO
network that is currently offered. The City's Medical plan is a self-insurance plan where all medical
claims are processed and adjudicated on behalf of the City's plan through a third -party administrator.
The consequences on not approving this proposal would result in the City either going back to the
market for these services or finding a fully insured carrier to cover the City's workforce, and
abandoning the Self —insurance funding method.
Legal Review:
This renewal proposal will be an addendum to the main agreement.
Fiscal Impact:
The cost is budgeted in the City's Medical Self Insurance Fund.
Recommendation:
The city staff recommends the Mayor and City Council approval of the UMR renewal proposal as
outlined above.

MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Justin Vaughn, Assistant Director of Administration and Human Resources
Through: Vivyon V. Bowman, Director of Administration and Human Resources
Date: September 28, 2021
Reference: Approval of the Purchase of Medical Stop Loss Insurance
Introduction:
The City's current health plan expenses performed well when compared to previous years. However,
the Stop Loss Coverage, which is a fixed cost, is a very volatile annual expense that is determined
based on extraordinary, unexpected Large Claims that are difficult to project. This is the case for most
large, self-funded employers. The typical expected annual increase for this insurance coverage is
+15% to +20% annually. The City's insurance committee is recommending the renewal of stop loss
insurance with Tru Services, a Liberty Mutual company.
Analysis:
The renewal of -3.95% was received by the City and Holmes Murphy, which is below the market
average increase of 15% to 20%. The original budgeted was for +20%. The expected annual
premium for this coverage is $409,479 based on current headcount.
Tru Services offer does not include lasers for the proposed plan year.
The City's medical plan is self-insured plan, meaning that all claims incurred by employees and
dependents are paid directly from the City's Medical Self -Insured Fund. The purchase of medical
stop loss insurance protects the City's fund from paying catastrophic claims over a certain amount
to better manage volatility from large claims which effects overall increases to the group overall,
which is common for self-funded employers. Self-funded employers benefit by avoiding certain
mandated benefits, fully insured taxes, and experience improved cash flow which saves the plan in
costs vs. being fully insured.
Legal Review:
The medical stop loss insurance is a purchased insurance product that required no legal review.
Fiscal Impact:
The cost of the medical stop loss insurance is budgeted in the City's Medical Self Insurance Fund.
Recommendation:
The City Staff recommends approval of the renewal of medical stop loss insurance from Tru Services,
a Liberty Mutual company.

MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Justin, Vaughn, Assistant Director of Administration and Human Resources
Through: Vivyon V. Bowman, Director of Administration and Human Resources
Date: September 28, 2021
Reference: Approval of Organ Transplant Coverage
Introduction:
Please find the attached renewal proposal for Organ transplant coverage from Tokio Marine — HCC
in the amount of $76,000 (a 0% increase over current year's cost). This proposal is for a fully insured
policy to cover claims for organ transplants. This renewal is due to the presence of an active
transplant that is expected to take place.
Analysis:
With few exceptions, most organ transplantation procedures are expensive and because of their high
cost, the City of Coppell decided several years ago to carve out the transplant procedure from its self-
insurance plan and purchase a fully insured plan as a separate policy. This decision helps protect the
City's health plan from a catastrophic transplant claim while insuring the affected employee gets the
treatment needed from a designated center of excellence for a set annual fee.
If the City chooses not to purchase this fully insured product, all potential organ transplant claims
would be paid out of the Self -Insurance Fund, the fund would be at great risk of potentially one or
more catastrophic claims.
Legal Review:
This is a purchase of an insurance product and no agreement is warranted.
Fiscal Impact:
These costs have been budgeted in the City's Medical Self -Insurance Fund.
Recommendation:
The city staff recommends the Mayor and City Council approval of the transplant renewal proposal
as outlined above.

From: Justin Vaughn, Assistant Director of Administration and Human Resources
Through: Vivyon V. Bowman, Director of Administration and Human Resources
Date: September 28, 2021
Reference: Life, Accidental Death & Dismemberment, Short -Term Disability Insurance, Long -
Term Disability Insurance Coverage
Introduction:
Please find the attached proposal for Life, Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) Short -
Term Disability (STD), and Long -Term Disability (LTD) Insurance from Mutual of Omaha. The
estimated annual cost of this renewal is $188,544 for the City paid portion of the products in the
plan. Mutual of Omaha is offering a rate pass on Basic AD&D, Voluntary Life and AD&D, and
STD coverage. They are offering a slight increase on both Basic Life and LTD which are both
employer -paid benefits.
Analysis:
These plans cover employees, and in certain instances dependents, for loss of life, limbs, and
disability while covered under this plan. The increase for the Basic Life Coverage is a result of a
decrease in overall lives covered and an increase of individuals in the population over age 50
compared to prior years. The increase on LTD coverage is a result of plan utilization over the past
year.
Legal Review:
This is a purchase of an insurance product and no agreement is warranted.
Fiscal Impact:
These costs have been budgeted in the City's Insurance Fund.
Recommendation:
The Insurance Committee recommends the Mayor and City Council approval of the Mutual of Omaha
Life/AD&D/Short-Term Disability/Long-Term Disability proposal as outlined above.

Our goal is to become City of Coppell's uiuiimmt °viinii��(s ecll m��Asuklle acllMuGso ir. We will do
everything possible to make your job easier while we provide the highest level of customer
service. We have summarized the primary service areas available to City of Coppell. It is
important to ensure each component is integrated so that we best position City of Coppell
benefits program.
Strategic Planning - your experience in consulting with clients in redesigning and
implementing their benefits programs.
Whether you have identified the problem areas associated with your employee benefit
programs or you need a proven process to flesh them out, our teams have been trained to
follow a strategic consulting process that has been refined after thousands of client
implementations.
The Holmes Murphy Consulting Process
We have learned from experience that every organization's industry, people and culture is
unique. So your company's employee benefit programs should not be cookie -cutter either. But
before a strategic plan can be developed, we follow a proven process to yield the best results.
One of the first things our client service team does after we are engaged is to schedule a
client kick-off meeting. This enables our team to guide our clients through the following
stages:
Stage I: Onboarding
Better known as the "getting to know
you" stage. Before we know where we
want to take you, we have to understand
how you got where you are. The
onboarding stage involves a quick ramp -
up where we gather material directly
from your service providers and a
materials checklist we will send directly to
you. (We'll be asking for things like an
employee census and benefit
communications).
Stage II: Discovery and Diagnosis
While we are collecting and beginning to
analyze this data, we will be asking
questions throughout the consulting
process. During the onboarding process,
The information on this page is proprietary. Please do not copy or distribute to others.
data is transformed into information that enables our teams to develop cost projections,
utilization analysis and benchmarking with peers in your industry to determine the outliers in
your plans. This information along with an informational interviewing process called Core
Beliefs; enable our teams to transition to Stage III with a thorough understanding of where
we should go next. We have attached a sample Core Belief's report in the Appendix.
Stage III: Strategic Planning
This stage is where we align the strategic priorities of your organization with the short and
long-term goals for your employee benefit programs. If you did not have a clearly articulated
benefit's philosophy when we started, you will have one after we complete this process. After
various options are considered, a multi-year plan design will begin to emerge that will have
the approval and endorsement of the company's leadership team. This phase involves creative
benefits design, actuarial and underwriting projections, contribution modeling and budget
impact analysis.
Stage IV: Implementation and Execution
General George Patton said "a good plan implemented today is better than a perfect plan
implemented tomorrow". After a multi-year strategic plan has been developed, HMA knows
that putting our ideas into action is just as important as having developed the right road map
for your organization. HMA will utilize our project management and timeline to implementation
tools to identify who has responsibility among our service providers, HMA and client teams for
doing what task by what date. Adhering to these milestones enables all parties to measure our
progress toward open enrollment and effective date adherence that yields a positive user
experience.
Stage V: Accountability and Engagement
Purchasing employee benefits that yield the greatest value at the most attractive unit costs
can be of high importance to clients seeking short-term savings, but creating accountability
and engagement among plan beneficiaries is what will flatten trend for years to come. One of
the greatest differentiators between HMA and our competitors is the ability to help our clients
deploy innovative programs that continue to move the needle after we have picked the low
hanging fruit. By deploying proven programs that lead to greater consumer advocacy,
transparency and accountability, we help our clients target the inefficiencies in our care
delivery in a way that transforms a company's culture, health and productivity.
Stage VI: Measurement and Reporting
We would not be able to continue working with our clients unless we could demonstrate the
value of our relationship. This is why we have made investments in financial reporting,
utilization and data warehousing systems that enable our account teams to validate whether
prescriptive plan changes are making an impact. Whether we are measuring for client
satisfaction through surveys or monitoring a "continuously enrolled" population for a clinical
intervention program, we share outcomes with our clients to determine the value of change
brought about through our involvement in a transparent and collaborative manner.
2
Whether we end up deploying value -based health programs, narrow or onsite care delivery
systems, greater tax savings accounts through consumer -directed programs or clinical
accountability programs, HMA has the resources under our roof to transition through every
stage of the process and bring greater value for our clients with industry leading satisfaction.
Competitive Marketing and Placement of Plans — assisting with the development of
marketing specifications, identification of market conditions, evaluation of
proposals, negotiations and placement of insurance contracts, including Private
Exchanges.
Our goal in the RFP process is to ensure that the selected vendors match the cultural and
business needs for your organization. We streamline the review process by developing models
that weigh the carrier responses and create a score in each area based on what is most
important to City of Coppell. By doing this, we simplify the process for the benefits team and
spend time evaluating the best fit, instead of pouring through hundreds of pages of RFP
responses.
Holmes Murphy has established rigorous selection criteria for potential vendors and will
recommend a selection after following these steps:
Holmes Murphy uses this same level of commitment and expertise to the evaluation of private
exchanges. We have created a private exchange team whose sole responsibility is to
understand and evaluate the value propositions of the various exchanges. While we offer a
proprietary Holmes Murphy exchange solution, we understand that no single exchange model
will be an ideal fit for all employers. Our team will bring an unbiased and transparent

information, acquiring historical claims and employee census data, and reviewing
current Summary Plan Descriptions.
Develop RFP Specifications: This phase will include drafting of the actual RFP
document and defining desired vendor service, network and pricing criteria. We will
Step 2
discuss all selection criteria at this point and make any changes and customizations
that are needed. The next step is to send the selection criteria to the vendors and
receive their submitted proposals.
Vendor Negotiation and Selection: Once the proposals are received, they are then
evaluated and scored. This helps develop a report for the finalist selection. As we
Step 3
negotiate with vendors, we will also examine your loss history, establish the
necessary types of coverage consistent with your risk tolerance, choose vendors
that provide superior service, and adopt the optimal funding mechanisms for your
specific needs.
Implementation & Execution: Holmes Murphy will work with the benefits team and

your selected vendor to successfully implement the vendor and plans selected. We
will also assist you in creating customized communication pieces to explain the plan
to employees.
Ongoing Management: After the effective date we will continue to monitor the plan

to ensure the vendor and selected plans are meeting the performance requirements
set forth during the RFP process.
Holmes Murphy uses this same level of commitment and expertise to the evaluation of private
exchanges. We have created a private exchange team whose sole responsibility is to
understand and evaluate the value propositions of the various exchanges. While we offer a
proprietary Holmes Murphy exchange solution, we understand that no single exchange model
will be an ideal fit for all employers. Our team will bring an unbiased and transparent
evaluation process to the table to assist City of Coppell. We look forward to discussing
whether a defined contribution approach makes sense for City of Coppell during our Core
Beliefs session.
Clinical Wellness and Disease Prevention
We will assist the City of Coppell develop a strategy for clinical wellness and disease
prevention for your population. We will work to understand Coppell specific cluster of risks
know as Metabolic Syndrome (Mets). We'll do this by collecting data from Health Risk
Assessments, Biometrics, and Claims. We will then recommend an intervention program to
proactively identify at -risk plan participants and address risk factors that can lead to the
majority of claim dollars spent. Along the way we'll work with Coppell to design the right
incentive and communication plan to gain member engagement. Much of this work will begin
Stages III & IV after we complete our Discovery and Due Diligence process.
M
Industry Trends and Emeraina Issues — timely information on trends in the
benefits industry and emerging benefit issues.
Holmes Murphy has a unique approach to our interaction with the carrier community and
views it as a true business partnership. Because of this, we continually meet with their sales
teams, underwriters, actuaries and lobbyists to better understand what is trending in the
marketplace. In addition, we continually meet with our clients and internally with our account
teams to discuss best practice and market responses to emerging benefit issues. We are very
active in the benefits community both locally in Dallas and nationally in Washington D.C.,
which allows us to keep a pulse of what is happening in the benefit marketplace.
To share this information with your team, we have found one method to be most impactful ..
we meet. Generally, we have ongoing and frequent operations meetings (weekly, bi-monthly
or monthly) to discuss pending questions, current issues or concerns, vendor management,
project plan reviews, compliance, and other items. For Coppell we will plan to meet Monthly
and more as issues arise. During plan implementations, RFP analyses and open enrollment
planning, these meetings may be more frequent. At the beginning of each year, we will
discuss expected projects and strategic direction. Based on that discussion, Holmes Murphy
will prepare a schedule of strategy -focused meetings throughout the year focused on trends
and emerging issues within your plans.
Day -to -Day Administrative Support — basic services you can expect from your
consulting team.
Some of the general day-to-day resources you can expect from your Holmes Murphy account
team include the following:
• Coordinate all Holmes Murphy activities relating to the employee benefits program
• Communicate with human resources or benefits personnel regarding benefits program
issues
• Provide plan design consultation, benefit analysis, network disruption analysis, and cost
analysis
• Review and implement complete cost containment procedures, where applicable
• Conduct meetings with management or benefits personnel, at agreed upon regular
intervals
• Provide compliance support and guidance
• Conduct periodic review of market trends to ensure plan compliance
• Create custom employee communications
• Provide resources for COBRA, HIPAA, HIPAA Privacy, Section 125, and FMLA questions
• Provide resources for provider questions or issues
• Act as a resource for hardship provisions or late entrants
• Ensure implementation of policy changes with vendors
• Obtain renewals and compile renewal analysis with plan changes and plan alternatives
• Update benefit comparisons and review renewal contracts for accuracy
• Act as a resource for difficult claim situations
• Provide ongoing compliance assistance with state and federal mandates
Also part of the core service team, Holmes Murphy offers a Benefit Coordinator, an in-house
dedicated advocate to field benefits questions. The Benefit Coordinator provides HR with an
additional level of administration assistance. Clients who utilize the Benefit Coordinator as
designed will experience a reduction in the number of general benefits inquiries from their
employees.
The Benefit Coordinator assists with routine tasks like ordering new ID cards, claims issues,
availability of benefits, qualifying events, or even how HSA and HRA plans work and what their
maximum annual HSA contribution can be.
Vendor Manaaement — assisting with management of benefits vendors.
We view vendors as partners necessary for delivering a simple and effective employee benefits
experience for your most valued asset, the Partners and Associates of City of Coppell. In fact,
Holmes Murphy has an internal "Carrier Relations" committee to ensure that our relationships
are strong and connected. In addition, we prefer to communicate the strategic plan to the
vendors. This allows them to bring innovative solutions to our attention that may meet the
needs of our customers. In the end, our goal is to help the vendor be successful in their
relationship with you. This approach helps us to achieve the best level of resources and
solutions for our customers.
Specifically, Holmes Murphy will act on City of Coppell's behalf to negotiate the best balance of
cost and services. We will monitor performance guarantees, ongoing reporting requirements,
manage service issues, and drive to problem resolution. In addition, we leverage the data
gathered by our service team to identify issues, negotiate fees and guarantees during the
renewal/RFP process, and improve vendor performance.
Benchmarkina — tools and resources offered to assist with benchmarking.
Holmes Murphy will utilize a combination of national information and custom benchmarking
surveys to help identify your competitive positioning. We have experience with all the major
data warehouse systems, including Ingenix, Medstat, and IBM Watson which include granular
benchmarking information at detailed levels. In addition, we often conduct industry -specific
surveys for our clients. We will enjoy supporting you in any specific survey initiatives you
might have, including focused surveys of other groups or employees of City of Coppell.
We will use the existing Coppell claims data, plan performance, and plan design and
benchmark to peers, other employers, normative benchmarks, and best -practice Plans. From
that information we will provide a gap analysis of the Coppell plan performance, costs, and
plan design to the appropriate benchmark. The gaps represent opportunities for improvement.
We will value each gaps and provide recommendations.
Cost Proiections - the process for projecting plan cost and assisting clients with
their budgeting requirements.
Our actuarial team has created a proprietary budget model that is customized for each of our
clients. It reflects actual budget, plan design, claims experience and employee contributions to
help create real time change impact on the projected budget. Administration fees, migration
assumptions, legislative impacts and overall trend factors are all variables within the model.
0
This model, as with any of our other proprietary tools, can be reviewed in a live demo by City
of Coppell at any time.
Financial Reaortina and Analysis — experience reporting, underwriting, ongoing
management assistance, including regular supervision of claims activity reports
from carriers.
Holmes Murphy has developed a proprietary financial reporting system that generates a
consolidated summary of historical losses and trends customized for City of Coppell. Our
experience reporting package includes specific exhibits to highlight large loss claims, stop loss
reimbursements, lag reports for medical/rx and dental experience, aggregate stop loss
tracking, annual budget to actual reporting, and future trend projections and utilization
studies.
The following is an example of three different types of reporting and analysis we can provide:
Key Indicator Reporting
Holmes Murphy's Analytics Department developed a proprietary
SilRe:,miii t (MFSR), a monthly snapshot of how the plan is performing financially
and administratively against predetermined targets. Vendor reports are loaded into a
database each month and a user-friendly report including comparisons to budget along
with graphs and charts is produced. This type of reporting brings critical management
information to the surface, making business and strategy decision making more effective.
The MFSR allows us to closely monitor the actual performance of the plan and identify any
potential discrepancies for City of Coppell. We will be able to send this report to City of
Coppell on a uiuii�(�,ui�7I°t[°I7�Ily Ill��asiiws or less frequently, if you prefer. We believe that by taking a
proactive approach, we can identify potential trends early and recommend necessary
actions before the next budget cycle.
Cost Driver Analysis
Our primary role in reporting and analysis is to Illl;�iii iiIiii,7IIg fif to veiii�7IIcIII(p,iii clllat,a, integrating
ll)eiiI7Icll�7IuiuiivaIIIII uiu11,I g aiir�7IIC11l g(Str1s, St�t�ig(cllluwes, to support strategic planning and decision
making. It should not be your job to sort through potentially hundreds of pages of reports
to identify trends. We will provide the analysis of iiIiii�7IItegiii ate ll veii,�IIclk ,ir cllla° a, including
medical, pharmacy, dental, and disability. The end result is a meaningful summary of the
information providing clear answers. Integrated with our financial reporting activities, we
will actively review theiiie:l�(„,i[ts for trends in
healthcare services, so that you know not only what your costs have been, but also where
they are coming from and why. We will also work with the City's Clinic to analyze the
cost/benefit of the Clinic's impact on the health plan expenses.
The Cost Driver Analysis is completed on an annual basis and is utilized as a starter to the
strategic planning process. City of Coppell's Cost Driver Analysis will be customized to meet
your needs, to monitor vendor performance, and to recommend and model specific
program strategies. Through the Cost Driver, our goal is to identify the plan strategies that
will add the greatest value to your benefit program and to your employees.
7
Plan Efficiency Analysis
In concert with the Cost Driver Analysis, Holmes Murphy uses an analytical method that
we refer to as Plan Efficiency to measure the financial performance of City of Coppell's
medical benefit programs. This method allows us to measure network and plan design
performance and to Ill ��e cII[°I7 11111 a iii ymur e fI iii dI e iii �wjsi iii rate to t Ill,�IIe �mt ur1s On
an on-going basis, we will expand our Plan Efficiency Analysis program to monitor vendor
performance and to model specific program strategies, such as vendor modifications or
plan design changes. The end result of the analytical process will not only offer
observations of what is happening, but will also include recommendations and solutions
that could be implemented to influence future outcomes.
Employee Contributions and Plan Design Modelina — assisting with establishing
employee contributions to meet firm objectives.
We utilize a Mii,7II eiii actu4ve Illg(clllget riii( ,c,16liIii,�IIg to6referenced above which will
assist City of Coppell in making decisions based on your strategic plan. Our interactive budget
modeling tool incorporates all aspects of a benefit plan: annual budget, plan design
components and participant contributions. We will identify areas within the plan design that
have the potential to create selection issues. We are able to uiuii�eas�ii ure coiriiiiulll,�IVee Illi; iii g(clllget.
iiriiiiilll:,act to enable the City of Coppell team to make efficient and effective decisions for the
strategic direction of your plan and budget.
Holmes Murphy will also enlist the support of our healthcare and data management analysts to
actively review the clinical utilization reports for trends in healthcare services. Integrated with
our financial reporting activities, we will provide meaningful answers to what the utilization
drivers are at the root level. In addition, we will continuously work to identify the strategies
that will have the greatest impact on utilization including plan design, contribution and
condition management programs. Whether City of Coppell adopts an incentive, disincentive,
contributory or outcomes based approach to health plan management, our team is able to
model the anticipated budgetary impact and migration assumptions.
Annual Reporting Reauirements — assist in meeting annual reporting deadlines.
Each Holmes Murphy client team keeps an annual project plan document to monitor dates and
keep a status log of ongoing projects. There is a section included that tracks and monitors all
annual reporting deadlines. As part of this process, the account team works in tandem with
our communication teams to ensure that all reporting deadlines are met and those that require
employee -facing notices are sent in advance of required deadlines.
Plan Audits
We will assist the City in audits of vendor performance, performance guarantees, compliance
deficiencies, contact provisions, and pharmacy rebates. We will conduct audits at the direction
of the City's HR or Internal Audit team.
Proiect Management Process
Currently this process is a manual process with Excel worksheets to manage the annual work
plan and timelines, and daily service log. However, we are moving to Microsoft SharePoint in
the near future.
CanmunIta uIn Illi
We understand the communication challenges of a diverse workforce. And, we understand the
budget constraints that most companies face today when it comes to communicating with
employees about their benefits. This is why our communication team has included for City of
Coppell a library of materials to support annual enrollment activities within our scope of
service offering.
The following communications have been included in our pricing:
• Change/enrollment announcement email
• Enrollment poster
• Change/enrollment newsletter
• Executive letter or cover letter announcing changes
• Benefits enrollment guide
• Required notices (Medicare Part D, CHIP, Special Enrollment Rights, Newborn and
Mothers Health Protection, etc.)
• Employee meeting presentation
Within our scope of services, we will modify these to include your plan provisions, logo, image
preferences, and color preferences. Many of our clients choose this approach for its
combination of efficiency and low cost.
A number of our clients need and prefer a more customized, deeply integrated employee
communication approach that includes messages outside of enrollment (health improvement,
wellness, benefits resources, new hire orientation, other languages, etc.) and a broader array
of electronic, print, and interpersonal media. These unique, custom communication services
are available outside the scope of services and fees we have documented here.
Most custom employee communication projects require some outside supplier services, such
as graphic design, translation, web design or programming, stock image purchases, printing,
shipping, postage, or A/V production (videography, studio time, voiceover work, reproduction,
etc.). These services are not included in our scope of services. Upon request, we can obtain
bids from outside suppliers as needed. When our clients engage Holmes Murphy to coordinate
these outside supplier services on their behalf, we charge a separate production coordination
fee of 10% of the total outside supplier fees.
In the broader health and welfare arena, effective communication aligns your efforts with your
participants' needs, increasing their perceived value of your programs. Communication (or lack
0
of it) can make or break the return on investment for these programs. One of our challenges
is to help you shape your participants' behaviors toward a better bottom line. This means
bridging the gap between organizational goals and employee perceptions.
We start with several premises:
• Perceptions are reality.
• Participants have one thing in common: they are all different.
• Participants' needs change as they pass through various life stages.
Holmes Murphy will assist in developing a wide variety of employee communication and
related tools. We have included a premium Benefits Communications Package for City of
Coppell that includes the following: Benefits Enrollment Guide, Benefits Updates, and Benefits
at a Glance, Open Enrollment Presentation, Postcard mailer, Poster, and Special Notices.

Prior to the passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), Holmes Murphy proactively formed a
multi -disciplinary team to respond to the ongoing challenges our clients would face. This team
continues to interpret and guide our clients and account teams with members represented
from our Compliance, Actuarial, Communications, and Clinical support groups. This national
advisory group is led by Ed Oleksiak, J.D., M.B.A. Ed was recently asked to serve on the
National Association of Health Underwriter's (NAHU's) National Legislative Council as Vice
Chair for this next legislative session and has agreed to serve as the Chairman of the Council
after his Vice Chair term.
The ACA has many complex requirements for employers and health plans. Many employers are
starting to focus more attention on the ACA's rules and, as a result, have more questions than
ever.
Holmes Murphy has prepared a Health Care Reform Toolkit that will serve as a one-stop guide
for upcoming health care reform concerns. It is designed to help you address health care
reform issues, topic -by -topic, step-by-step.
Each section of the toolkit focuses on a single subject and includes:
• An executive summary;
• An action checklist to help you take the appropriate actions to achieve compliance;
and
• A list of supporting documents that Holmes Murphy & Associates can provide upon
request.
As new regulations and guidance are released, the Health Care Reform Toolkit will continue to
expand and be updated. A copy of the Toolkit and associated short and long-term
impact studies have been included in the Appendix.
Holmes Murphy monitors regulatory and legislative developments in three primary ways:
• Internal compliance department provides overall guidance regarding current and
proposed regulatory activities.
• Webinars, conference calls, electronic resources, and ongoing communications via
email with our clients, including compliance alerts and other guidance documents.
We will send these to you actively and will schedule sessions to review the
information with you as necessary.
• Through our relationship with outside services like Thompson Reuters, National
Association of Health Underwriters, and health carrier and legislative councils.
11
Holmes Murphy has regular internal communications that are distributed via e-mail as well as
monthly meetings where we share information on pending and new legislation. As mentioned
above, we also have access to the EBIA Checkpoint system which offers as a large resource
for many compliance and ACA related questions.
In addition to the regular day-to-day interactions you will have with Holmes Murphy, we
regularly deliver several items to help your team stay up-to-date with benefit news, trends,
and compliance information. These services include:
• A weekly electronic newsletter, alternating with BenefitsAlertone week and
Compliance Alert the next.
• Legislative Updates, which go into further detail on important benefit -related
compliance issues for employers.
• Video updates from our Compliance team which highlight areas of particular
concern to our clients.
• Periodic webinars or on-site seminars on timely topics.
Holmes Murphy updates our clients with regular �flVeiirts and other guidance
documents. We will send these to you actively and will schedule sessions to review the
information with you as necessary. We disseminate this information by reg�iiaiiiw°.
tiriii1dly, g((l,�cclates prepared by both our internal compliance team, as well as
bulletins prepared by third -party sources.
Holmes Murphy has significant expertise in educating health plan participants about health &
welfare benefits, from enrollment materials to consumerism tools, rising costs, wellness and
health care reform. Since March 2010, we have been heavily focused on educating employers,
plan sponsors, and prospective plan participants about the impact of health care reform. As
part of this focus, our team created a series of written communications addressing key
messages on various elements of the law including:
• Ten things You Don't Know About Health Care Reform
• Health Care Law Overview
• What the Health Care Law Means to Us
• New Fees and Taxes
• Subsidies 101
• Your 2020 Coverage Options
• Tins to Help You Choose
• Preparing for 2020

Compensation:
There are three options for compensation to Holmes Murphy. Our proposed fee is $105,000
annually. This number includes all items covered in the scope of services.
Option 1: Fee only — net all commissions out of products and Holmes Murphy would invoice
City of Coppell $8,750 per month. If HMA receives any indirect commissions paid to
us due to carrier commissions built into their products, we are committed to
disclosing to the City, and where possible will offset our fixed fee, or provide
additional services to the City.
Option 2: Commission only — Apply typical schedule of commissions to each product. We
would adjust commission percentages appropriately if the typical range produces
any excess over the target of $105,000.
Option 3: Combination — when a fee and commission combination is used, we would typically
apply a Per Employee Per Month (PEPM) charge for the medical and a separate
PEPM for the dental, and leave a mutually agree upon commission percentage in
the other ancillary lines of coverage.
Each method has pros and cons, but we are agnostic as to the method our customers prefer.
Third party vendors that could be used by City of Coppell with the assistance of Holmes Murphy
will have charges for the actual service performed. This list includes the majority of these types
of service, but may not be exhaustive as new services may become available over time
• COBRA Administration
• FMLA Administration
• Biometric Testing
• Metabolic Syndrome program
• 6055 & 6056 reporting
• Benefit enrollment technology
• Telemedicine
• Transparency tool
• FSA Administration
• HSA Administration
• Data warehousing and mining technology
• Tobacco Testing
• Select Ad hoc Wellness Reporting
13
Please see pricing below for the Third Party vendors/services that the City has requested quotes
for at time which are separate from the above monthly consulting:
COBRA Services $0.50 to $1.50 Per Employee Per Month (varies by vendor)
Naturally Slim $385 Per Participant
Alight $5.00 Per Employee Per Month
Responder Health $3.50 Per First Responder Per Month
Please let us know if you have any questions.

"A” FOR MENTAL HEALTH AND JUSTICE SYSTEM ASSESSMENT (TM 124307)
Proposal — Mental Health and Justice System Assessment - Metrocrest Region
Background and Overview
The Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute (MMHPI) is pleased to submit this proposal to
Metrocrest Services to assess the mental health and criminal justice/first responder systems'
needs with a specific focus on homeless and transient populations in Carrollton, Addison,
Farmers Branch, and Coppell. Specifically, our proposal outlines an assessment plan which,
upon completion, will provide a report containing:
• Compilation and analysis of prevalence and needs data, by demographic variables,
including poverty, ethnicity, and ager
* Identification of mental health providers and stakeholders;
Identification of service gaps and strengths, with a focus on homelessness and transient
populations and the impact on law enforcement and first responder systems; and
• Recommendations for systems improvement.
Since our inception, MMHPI has focused our efforts on improving mental health care for people
involved in the criminal justice system — the same population of interest in this assessment.
We have also conducted multiple system assessments throughout. Texas which have prioritized
collaboration with key stakeholders, integrated our findings with other relevant assessments in
order to coordinate region -wide planning, and incorporated findings from state and federal
agencies, including the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC),
In this proposal, we describe how we will provide the Carrollton, Addison, Farmers Branch, and
Coppell areas (Metrocrest region) with a focused needs assessment that is shaped to fit the
unique need's of these communities. In doing so, we provide details about the system
assessments we have performed in other regions in Texas, We also offer information about the
team we have assembled to conduct this assessment, which will be led by MMHPI's senior
leaders and composed of our most experiencedstaff,
Mission Statement and Experience
The mission of MMHPI is to provide independent, nonpartisan, data -driven, and trusted policy
and program guidance that creates equitable systemic changes so all Texans can obtain
effective, efficient behavioral health care when and where they need it. Our vision is for Texas
to be the national leader in treating all people with mental health needs. MMHPI is superbly
qualified to meet the needs of the Metrocrest region,
Since our launch in 2014, we have been guided by six strategic priorities:
w Improve state -level policy: Provide the Texas Legislature, executive branch agencies,
and the judiciary with the information they need regarding mental/brain health needs
and best practices to help them develop and implement effective public policy..

= Change public awareness moimprove access woeffective care: Increase public
awareness of mental and brain diseases and their effective treatment so that Texans
talk more openly about mental and brain health and help each other access effective
care,
° Identify, share, and promote strategies to take population best practices toscale for:
- Texas children: Texas children will receive effective mental health care aspart of
their overall health so they can reach their full potential at home, school, and in the
community.
- Texas veterans: Texas veterans and their families will receive the mental health care
and support they deserve inorder tohelp them return home and thrive.
- Smart justice: Texans with serious mental health needs will only be involved in the
criminal justice system ifthey commit acrime that warrants involvement,
- Critical needs across the life span, including prevention of suicide and mental illness
more broadly, reduction of homelessness, and meeting the needs of older adults,
Weare uniquely equipped tnprovide key findings from the K8,tmcrest region assessment not
only to local leadership but also to the Texas Legislature and executive branch agencies, as
appropriate and as agreed to by Metrocrest region leadership. For example, we provided data,
professional expertise, and analysis tnlawmakers before and throughout the 86th Legislative
Session. Vvewere gratified tnsee this legislature pass 2sofsomental health-related bills that
we had prioritized for this legislative session (an 87.8% success rate versus an 18.7% average

For this assessment, we will use quantitative and qualitative methods to determine the
prevalence ofservice needs, capacity ofand gaps inuemioes, system strengths, costs, and
challenges presented by current services and response. we will use interviews with, providers
and stakeholders to further our understanding of how current service provision, payment
systems, and financing mechanisms affect the availability nfservices and access tocare imthe
Metrocrest region. Through this analysis, we will consider the role of Medicaid and local payers
in the overall mental health system and offer insights to help maximize resources for mental
health care. With the support of stakeholders from each community, we will also share these
findings with puUcvmokeuin: vneffort tohelp address policy barriers that unnecessarily
encumber the current system,
Based on available data, whether quantitative or qualitative, we will also provide Mletrocrest
region stakeholders with an understanding of the breadth and depth of the impact of
homelessness, transient populations, and mental illness on first responder systems and
emergency service providers, using quantitative and qualitative approaches for our an analysis.

our work inother areas ofTexas. Wefollow that discussion with atimeline for our work.
Qualitative Data Analyses
We will accomplish this assessment by analyzing information we collect from multiple
stakeholders from across thexxetrncnest region, We will work with the public safety directors
of each city, or their equivalent, to create a list of organizations and stakeholder to interview.
We anticipate gathering information from 40 to 50 stakeholders, including city officials and
leadership, Baylor Scott and White Medical Center, North Texas Behavioral Health Authority,
Denton County MHMR Center, and Life Path Systems, as well as other providers of mental
health and substance use disorder services; regional hospitals; county courts and probation
departments; emergency medical personnel (firelemergency medical services); Carrollton,
Farmers Branch, Addison, and Coppell police and fire departments; and other key informants
determined during the initial phase ufthe project. Our approach tothese interviews will
incorporate techniques we refined in other system assessments, for which we have interv�ewecl

• Specific implementation recommendations to achieve project goals and objectives.
Our assessment process will address analyses of specific populations and systems, including:
* The crisis service array,
~ Services for adults involved inthe criminal justice system or who frequently utilize first
response systems, and
= Services for adults experiencing homelessness o/who are transient tothe area.
Our assessment will examine crisis response times, crisis care options, and gaps in crisis
services. For people involved In the criminal justice system orwho encounter first response
systems, we will examine services that are already being provided in the area as well as gaps in
services for this population. Through our analysis of the criminal justice and first response
system, we will identify service gaps and needs focused particularly on strategies to increase
care engagement and retention, increase criminal justice system diversion, decrease
emergency system utilization for chronic care needs, and reduce jail and hospital recidivism for
people living with serious mental illness.
|norder todevelop this framework, wewiKseek tounderstand anddesoibethefactuotha
lead people tobecome trapped /nrepeated cycles ofexpensive, and ultimately ineffective, use
of jail, emergency room, and hospital services. We will identify barriers that inhibit access tn
prevention, intervention, and diversion services. To the extent possible, we will use clinical and
demographic data that quantify service needs as well as qualitative information collected
through interviews and focus groupo. Aunoted above, these discussions will include, utm
minimum, providers and stakeholders from the following entities: county and municipal
government, law enforcement, corrections, crisis response, mental health providers, housing
services, hospitals, non-profit organizations, consumers, and system leaders.

Intended Outcomes
This assessment will provide Metrocrest region leadership and other stakeholders with data,
information, and recommendations to support region -wide planning to improve access to —
and increase the impact of — behavioral health servicesfor the people who reside there, and
reduce the use of first responder and emergency services to address mental health crises. We
will create a comprehensive needs assessment that community leaders can use to help achieve
a range of outcomes over time. Below, we have outlined examples of short-term, intermediate,
and long-term outcomes that could be achieved, using the needs assessment as a foundation,
Short -Term Outcomes

Intermediate Outcomes
Community leaders will be able to develop an implementation plan that will facilitate the
w Police and first responders will be better equipped to respond to people with mental
health issues when Itisappropriate for them ,vdo so.
° Information sharing opportunities will be identified for the use of integrating data within
and across services systems.
• Data -driven resources for improved coordination and early intervention will be more
widely available and used more strategically to reduce the strain on local hospitals and
law enforcement, reduce homelessness, and better meet the needs of the transient
population within the region.
Long -Term Outcomes
Ideally, implementation ofasystem improvement plan will also result in:
m Reduced hospital recidivism for people with behavioral health needs, including the need
for substance use disorder services;
m Reduced reliance on first responder and emergency services to address behavioral
health care crises; and
* Reduced costs *ohospitals and emergency rooms with respect topeople with
behavioral health needs.

leaders, and others, asneeded, toinform the development ufthe data request. Following
receipt of information from the data request, we will conduct the desk review and develop
protocols for the on-site review.
The Primary On -Site Review will span several days and isanticipated unoccur after all data
have been received (Months Three and Four). For this review, each of the project leads, joined
by support staff a,needed, will conduct analyses ofex|st[nQcapacity, gaps incapacity, and
opportunities to use financing and other strategies to meet need. The on-site review will
include an integrated team approach to allow us to take full advantage of the expertise of each
team member across the assessment. For the most part, team members will conduct their
interviews and reviews independently, reserving time each day to compare notes and emerging
hypotheses.
Qualitative Analysis
Beginning inMonths Three and Four, the project team will initiate focus groups and key
informant interviews with local stakeholders. The purpose of these structured interviews and
focus groups is for our teams to identify central themes associated with access to care,
availability of crisis and emergency services, and the impact of mental illness and unmet needs
across various service sectors. VVewill also consider homelessness, transient populations, and
first responder services. We will develop thematic tables for this part of our analysis and
include this content |nadraft report, which will bcsubmitted at the end ofMonth Seven.
Quantitative Analysis and Draft Report
Immediately upon execution of the award, we will begin our analysis of prevalence, service
capacity, and cost data. The initial analysis will becompleted within the first zzodays ofthe
project, leaving an opportunity to factor in any new data gathered through the initial on-site
review. We will submit the draft report of the needs assessment at the end of Month Seven.
Follow -Up On -Site, Final Report, and Final Presentation
Follow-up on-site meetings will beheld |nMonths Six and Seven toreview emerging findings
with local project leadership and other behavioral health system leaders. Project leads will
attend these meetings inperson, The focus ofthese meetings will betureview our draft

We will draft the final report of the needs assessment for the project leadership's review by
Month Eight. We propose scheduling the final presentation of findings and achievable
recommendations for local leadership after the report has been finalized in Month Nine,
Proposed Project Budget and Narrative
The proposed project budget is $300,000, inclusive of all MMHPI staff and consultant time,
meeting costs, travel costs, and material production. All deliverables will be provided in
electronic format, This is an optimal budget; however, we have included a bifurcated budget to
best fit the priorities of the stakeholders and project funders.
This component comprises all elements included in the proposal above. The primary on-site review
will involve the policy teams listed below, who will initiate focus groups and key informant
stakeholder interviews to identify central themes associated with access to care, availability of crisis
and emergency services, and the impact of mental illness and unmet need across various service
sectors as specified in this proposal. On-site reviews will include each of the project leads, joined by
support staff to provide analysis of existing capacity, gaps in capacity, and opportunities to use
program development, scaling, financing, and other strategies to meet the need.
Our criminal justice and adult policy teams, with support from clinical subject matter experts, will
identify service gaps and needs through the comprehensive needs assessment. Through these
interviews, and accompanying data, we will focus particularly on strategies to increase care
engagement and retention, increase criminal justice system diversion, decrease first responder
systems engagement, decrease emergency system utilization for chronic health and behavioral health
needs, and reducejail and hospital recidivism for people living with serious mental illness or
substance use disorders, with a specific focus on people who are homeless. Themes emerging from
the needs assessment analyses will serve as the foundation for system enhancement and program
development recommendations. A final report will include detailed findings and recommendations
including any program additions and associated designs and implementation recommendations..

Harris County Mental Health Services for Children, Youth, and Families: 2O17
System Assessment
PuhVsMedOctober zoxr
Thanks to the generous support ofHouston Endowment, we conducted a comprehensiv
assessment ofhealth care system capacity for providing mental health services for Harris
County children, youth, and families. From this assessment, we developed an "Ideal System of
Care" for treating the mental health needs of children, which has four components: 1)
Integrated Behavioral Health, 2) Specialty Behavioral Health, 3) Rehabilitation Services, and 4)
Crisis Care Continuum. We identified higher -risk areas by mapping poverty rates overall and by
school district, and found multiple pockets ofneed across the county, with higher rates of
poverty outside the Inner Loop 610 area than inside it. We also mapped current provider
locations across school districts, noting that many areas with the highest need are farfrom
treatment providers and public transportation routes, and many outlying school districts lack
providers within their geographic borders. All children, youth, and families in Harris County –
whether inside or outside of the child welfare and juvenile justice systems – face stark gaps in
care and poor outcomes as a result, and our report's recommendations focused on how to
bo|stcrscmiccsbascdonthcidcntificd~|dca[SmtcmofCarc^tubcstfiUthuscnapsand
improve outcomes for children, youth, and their families. Findings – and relationships that were
formed as a result of the system assessment in Harris County – have led to significant
developments inchildren's mental health care. Findings from the final report have been widely
shared and well received across the community, leading to efforts to expand Integrated primary
and psychiatric care through the expansion ofchild psychiatry access programs (cpAp).
Relationships we formed with key players in the foster care system led to a current project
funded by DePelchin Children's Center to prepare the community for anticipated changes in the
foster care delivery system, Additionally, findings from the assessment have helped generate
over $smillion for area health care systems toaddress the recommendations.

review in fall 2015 and early 2016. While approximately 500,000 people in the county suffer
from some level of mental health need, the primary focus of this assessment was on the most
severe needs: adults with serious mental illness (just over 60,000) and children with serious
emotional disorders (just over 37,500). An additional focus was on the over 56,000 people

Appendix A: Selection of Previous Behavioral Health Systems Assessments Conducted by
Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute
Proposal: Mental Health and Justice System Assessment - Metrocrest Region
Background and Overview
The Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute (MMHPI) is pleased to submit this proposal to
Metrocrest Services to assess the mental health and criminal justice/first responder systems'
needs with a specific focus on homeless and transient populations in Carrollton, Addison,
Farmers Branch, and Coppell. Specifically, our proposal outlines an assessment plan which,
upon completion, will provide a report containing:
• Compilation and analysis of prevalence and needs data, by demographic variables,
including poverty, ethnicity, and age;
• Identification of mental health providers and stakeholders;
• Identification of service gaps and strengths, with a focus on homelessness and transient
populations and the impact on law enforcement and first responder systems; and
• Recommendations for systems improvement.
Since our inception, MMHPI has focused our efforts on improving mental health care for people
involved in the criminal justice system — the same population of interest in this assessment.
We have also conducted multiple system assessments throughout Texas which have prioritized
collaboration with key stakeholders, integrated our findings with other relevant assessments in
order to coordinate region -wide planning, and incorporated findings from state and federal
agencies, including the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC).
In this proposal, we describe how we will provide the Carrollton, Addison, Farmers Branch, and
Coppell areas (Metrocrest region) with a focused needs assessment that is shaped to fit the
unique needs of these communities. In doing so, we provide details about the system
assessments we have performed in other regions in Texas. We also offer information about the
team we have assembled to conduct this assessment, which will be led by MMHPI's senior
leaders and composed of our most experienced staff.
Mission Statement and Experience
The mission of MMHPI is to provide independent, nonpartisan, data -driven, and trusted policy
and program guidance that creates systemic changes so all Texans can obtain effective, efficient
behavioral health care when and where they need it. Our vision is for Texas to be the national
leader in treating people with mental health needs. MMHPI is superbly qualified to meet the
needs of the Metrocrest region.
Since our launch in 2014, we have been guided by six strategic priorities:
• Improve state -level policy: Provide the Texas Legislature, executive branch agencies,
and the judiciary with the information they need regarding mental/brain health needs
and best practices to help them develop and implement effective public policy.

dY,P, I E N II � k. A...t 4 I B a A� 1, tl LL 1
Proposal: Mental Health and Justice System Assessment — Metrocrest Region 2
• Develop local behavioral health systems: Help Texas communities develop locally -
driven, accountable, and collaborative local planning efforts that systemically improve
the capacity of delivery systems to meet the behavioral health needs of the entire local
population.
• Improve university leadership capacity for mental and brain health: Help Texas
become a national and global leader in brain health and the integrated treatment of
mental/brain illness by promoting systemic changes in medical education and clinical
training, medical research, and translation of research findings into practice for the
benefit of the public.
• Help funders of care implement financing best practices: Help payers (governments,
employers, insurers) and other funders (philanthropists, foundations) identify, develop,
and employ best practices when they finance behavioral health in order to expand
access to effective and efficient care for brain illnesses, comparable to care for other
illnesses.
• Change public awareness to improve access to effective care: Increase public
awareness of mental and brain diseases and their effective treatment so that Texans
talk more openly about mental and brain health and help each other access effective
care.
• Identify, share, and promote strategies to take population best practices to scale for:
— Texas children: Texas children will receive effective mental health care as part of
their overall health so they can reach their full potential at home, school, and in the
community.
— Texas veterans: Texas veterans and their families will receive the mental health care
and support they deserve in order to help them return home and thrive.
— Smart justice: Texans with serious mental health needs will only be involved in the
criminal justice system if they commit a crime that warrants involvement.
— Critical needs across the life span, including prevention of suicide and mental illness
more broadly, reduction of homelessness, and meeting the needs of older adults.
We are uniquely equipped to provide key findings from the Metrocrest region assessment not
only to local leadership but also to the Texas Legislature and executive branch agencies, as
appropriate and as agreed to by Metrocrest region leadership. For example, we provided data,
professional expertise, and analysis to lawmakers before and throughout the 86th Legislative
Session. We were gratified to see this legislature pass 29 of 33 mental health-related bills that
we had prioritized for this legislative session (an 87.8% success rate versus an 18.7% average
rate for all bills filed for the session). Our legislative highlights that are relevant to this proposal
include:

• SB 11 (Taylor), which, through the establishment of the Texas Child Mental Health
Consortium, established the Child Psychiatry Access Network to enable pediatricians
and primary care providers to work with child psychiatry consultation hubs at leading
medical schools.
• HB 18 (Price), which enhances training requirements for school employees as well as
program and curriculum development to better support student mental health.
• SB 1177 (Menendez), which allows intensive evidence -based practices that have good
outcomes for children and youth with the most intensive mental health needs to be
available as an option in Medicaid managed care programs.
• SB 500 (Nelson), which contains $445 million to fund Phase II of the comprehensive plan
for state hospital redesign, including Austin, San Antonio, and Rusk State Hospitals.
• SB 2111 (Watson), which requires HHSC to establish a plan to contract with a local
public institution of higher education to transfer operations of Austin State Hospital on
completion of construction.
• HB 1 (Zerwas), which contains $60 million for the Mental Health Grant Program for
Justice -Involved Individuals (SB 292), a $12.5 million increase from fiscal year 2018-
2019 levels. It also contains $40 million for the Community Mental Health Grant
Program (HB 13) and $20 million for the Texas Veterans + Family Alliance Grant Program
(SB 55).
• HB 601 (Price), which builds on reforms enacted in the 85th Legislative Session by
clarifying the meaning and scope of "assessments" for people with mental illnesses who
are in jail.
• SB 562 (Zaffirini), which reforms the competency restoration process to ensure people
will be assigned to state facilities based on clinical need, not solely on the underlying
charged offense.
• HB 1 (Zerwas), which contains $2 million to fully fund the Judicial Commission on Mental
Health over the 2020-2021 biennium. Dr. Keller and Dr. Tony Fabelo from MMHPI are
members of the Judicial Commission.
Intended Outcomes
The overall goal of this project is to provide a focused needs assessment for the Metrocrest
region. This assessment can serve as the basis for a regional, systemic approach to providing
prevention -oriented mental health services, while reducing the use of emergency and first
responder systems for mental health crisis services across the region.
This assessment will provide Metrocrest region leadership and other stakeholders with data,
information, and recommendations to support region -wide planning to improve access to —
and increase the impact of — behavioral health services for the people who reside there, and
reduce the use of first responder and emergency services to address mental health crises. We

will create a comprehensive needs assessment that community leaders can use to help achieve
a range of outcomes over time. Below, we have outlined examples of short-term, intermediate,
and long-term outcomes that could be achieved, using the needs assessment as a foundation.
Short -Term Outcomes
Initially, a needs assessment can help lead to an integrated regional planning approach with:
• Increased collaboration and new connections among key health care stakeholders and
behavioral health care partners;
• Increased understanding of gaps and inefficiencies, as well as resources allocated across
service sectors for people with complex behavioral health issues, including people who
are transient or homeless and people involved with the criminal justice and first
response systems; and
• Concrete and specific plans for a uniform community -wide protocol to increase crisis
prevention and manage care for people with acute or sub -acute problems related to
behavioral health issues.
Intermediate Outcomes
Community leaders will be able to develop an implementation plan that will facilitate the
following:
• Police and first responders will be better equipped to respond to people with mental
health issues when it is appropriate for them to do so.
• Information sharing opportunities will be identified for the use of integrating data within
and across services systems.
• Data -driven resources for improved coordination and early intervention will be more
widely available and used more strategically to reduce the strain on local hospitals and
law enforcement, reduce homelessness, and better meet the needs of the transient
population within the region.
Long -Term Outcomes
Ideally, implementation of a system improvement plan will also result in:
• Reduced hospital recidivism for people with behavioral health needs, including the need
for substance use disorder services;
• Reduced reliance on first responder and emergency services to address behavioral
health care crises; and
• Reduced costs to hospitals and emergency rooms with respect to people with
behavioral health needs.

dY,P, I E N II � k. A...t 4 I B a A� 1, tl LL 1
Proposal: Mental Health and Justice System Assessment - Metrocrest Region 5
Approach
For this assessment, we will use quantitative and qualitative methods to determine the
prevalence of service needs, capacity of and gaps in services, system strengths, costs, and
challenges presented by current services and response. We will use interviews with providers
and stakeholders to further our understanding of how current service provision, payment
systems, and financing mechanisms affect the availability of services and access to care in the
Metrocrest region. Through this analysis, we will consider the role of Medicaid and local payers
in the overall mental health system and offer insights to help maximize resources for mental
health care. With the support of stakeholders from each community, we will also share these
findings with policymakers in an effort to help address policy barriers that unnecessarily
encumber the current system.
Based on available data, whether quantitative or qualitative, we will also provide Metrocrest
region stakeholders with an understanding of the breadth and depth of the impact of
homelessness, transient populations, and mental illness on first responder systems and
emergency service providers, using quantitative and qualitative approaches for our an analysis.
To accomplish this assessment, we have assembled a team of nationally -recognized subject
matter experts and consultants who are uniquely qualified to conduct a needs assessment that
will define and contribute meaningful strategies to improve local behavioral health systems
while creating a framework for reducing the use of first responder and emergency services for
chronic mental health care needs.
In this section, we outline how we will approach the assessment, drawing, as appropriate, on
our work in other areas of Texas. We follow that discussion with a timeline for our work.
Qualitative Data Analyses
We will accomplish this assessment by analyzing information we collect from multiple
stakeholders from across the Metrocrest region. We will work with the public safety directors
of each city, or their equivalent, to create a list of organizations and stakeholder to interview.
We anticipate gathering information from 40 to 50 stakeholders, including city officials and
leadership, Baylor Scott and White Medical Center, North Texas Behavioral Health Authority,
Denton County MHMR Center, and Life Path Systems, as well as other providers of mental
health and substance use disorder services; regional hospitals; county courts and probation
departments; emergency medical personnel (fire/emergency medical services); Carrollton,
Farmers Branch, Addison, and Coppell police and fire departments; and other key informants
determined during the initial phase of the project. Our approach to these interviews will
incorporate techniques we refined in other system assessments, for which we have interviewed
thousands of stakeholders in total. The information we collect will allow us to identify the
current systems' strengths and opportunities for improvement in addressing the changing

dY,P, I E N II � k. A...t 4 I B a A� 1, tl LL 1

behavioral health system needs and perspectives in the region. Our approach will include the
following activities:
• Key informant interviews and focus groups,
• Data requests and review of key documents (e.g., existing reports, data, and policies and
procedures),
• Site review of operations with a team of clinical and operations experts,
• Demographic study and capacity analysis,
• Cross -analysis of findings to generate specific improvement strategies, and
• Specific implementation recommendations to achieve project goals and objectives.
Our assessment process will address analyses of specific populations and systems, including:
• The crisis service array,
• Services for adults involved in the criminal justice system or who frequently utilize first
response systems, and
• Services for adults experiencing homelessness or who are transient to the area.
Our assessment will examine crisis response times, crisis care options, and gaps in crisis
services. For people involved in the criminal justice system or who encounter first response
systems, we will examine services that are already being provided in the area as well as gaps in
services for this population. Through our analysis of the criminal justice and first response
system, we will identify service gaps and needs focused particularly on strategies to increase
care engagement and retention, increase criminal justice system diversion, decrease
emergency system utilization for chronic care needs, and reduce jail and hospital recidivism for
people living with serious mental illness.
In order to develop this framework, we will seek to understand and describe the factors that
lead people to become trapped in repeated cycles of expensive, and ultimately ineffective, use
of jail, emergency room, and hospital services. We will identify barriers that inhibit access to
prevention, intervention, and diversion services. To the extent possible, we will use clinical and
demographic data that quantify service needs as well as qualitative information collected
through interviews and focus groups. As noted above, these discussions will include, at a
minimum, providers and stakeholders from the following entities: county and municipal
government, law enforcement, corrections, crisis response, mental health providers, housing
services, hospitals, non-profit organizations, consumers, and system leaders.
Prevalence Data Analyses
In preparing the analysis for the needs assessment of the Metrocrest region, we will perform
prevalence analyses based on data that consider Texas -specific demographic and poverty data.

dY,P, I E N II � k. A...t 4 I B a A� 1, tl LL 1
Proposal: Mental Health and Justice System Assessment — Metrocrest Region 7
These analyses will be performed for each of the counties of Metrocrest region cities. We will
complete this analysis by drawing on data we have permission to access, including (as one
example) the full data set of the Texas Health Care Information Collection (THCIC). The analyses
will provide:
• County -level prevalence data on each of the major mental health disorder categories
(including substance use disorders) for adults, children and youth, and veterans,
including estimates for first episode psychosis, people in need of intensive services,
numbers of suicides, and poverty levels;
• Licensed psychiatric bed capacity for each hospital in the designated area, and
utilization of that capacity over a period of a year, to show any gaps between capacity
and use as well as ebbs and flows in use overtime, including an analysis of bed capacity
for adults;
• Information regarding the interactions of homeless populations and populations
transient to the region and area law enforcement and first responder systems;
• An analysis of the use of existing publicly -funded mental health and substance use
disorder programs (some of this data may be captured through interviews and
document reviews); and
• An estimate of costs associated with hospitalization and emergency department use for
psychiatric disorders and, if available, costs associated with local community mental
health programs.
Overview of the Work Plan
Below, we provide an overview of key steps in our assessment process. We propose an nine-
month timeline for this project, with additional work during a ninth month to ensure buy -in for
collaboration on developing operational recommendations with the region's system leaders.
We can begin the project immediately on award of the contract, or on terms established by the
community. The following table outlines the expected timing for information gathering
activities.

Project Kick -Off
The first step of this project will be to engage quickly with local project leadership to finalize the
work plan and request key information. We will schedule an initial kick-off conference call with
key leadership and staff to obtain their perspectives on the evaluation and determine who will
be primary points of contact to the MMHPI project team. The lead consulting team members
involved in the project — Melissa Rowan, Kyle Mitchell, and B.J. Wagner — will participate in
these conference calls. Dr. Andy Keller, MMHPI President and Chief Executive Officer, will
provide overall guidance and direction. The deliverables resulting from the calls will include an
updated work plan that identifies a communications protocol, including key contact
information for local system leadership and project staff and the consulting team. The plan will
also outline all deliverables and due dates; reporting dates may be adjusted based on the
outcome of the discussions. We anticipate these steps will be completed within one week of
contract execution.
The initial kick-off call will be followed by a one -day on-site meeting within 30 days after award
of the contract to gain a better understanding of the region's behavioral health care systems,
including hospitals, the criminal justice system, and the local mental health authorities (LMHA)
as well as other priorities for the broader behavioral health system identified by key system
partners. The MMHPI project leads will be on site, with other team members joining by phone
to the extent needed. Our team will prepare a draft site visit agenda and goals and submit this
to local project leadership for review in advance of the site visit. The information obtained
during the initial visit will set the stage for all project tasks.
Off -Site Review and Primary On -Site Review
The next major step in the project will be to conduct an off-site assessment of available reports
and archival sources to ground the study team in available information. This grounding will help
us make optimal use of the on-site time. We will conduct this Off -Site Review of existing data,
documents, reports, policies, and protocols so that our team arrives with a preliminary
understanding of key processes pertinent to the project. To accomplish this, the project team

dY,P, I E N II � k. A...t 4 I B a A� 1, tl LL 1
Proposal: Mental Health and Justice System Assessment — Metrocrest Region 9
will prepare a data request document based on information from the initial calls and site visit,
as well as our deep understanding of Texas health, criminal justice, and behavioral health
systems. We will also conduct telephone interviews with key informants and conference calls
with representatives from city and county government, law enforcement, the LMHAs, hospital
leaders, and others, as needed, to inform the development of the data request. Following
receipt of information from the data request, we will conduct the desk review and develop
protocols for the on-site review.
The Primary On -Site Review will span several days and is anticipated to occur after all data
have been received (Months Three and Four). For this review, each of the project leads, joined
by support staff as needed, will conduct analyses of existing capacity, gaps in capacity, and
opportunities to use financing and other strategies to meet need. The on-site review will
include an integrated team approach to allow us to take full advantage of the expertise of each
team member across the assessment. For the most part, team members will conduct their
interviews and reviews independently, reserving time each day to compare notes and emerging
hypotheses.
Qualitative Analysis
Beginning in Months Three and Four, the project team will initiate focus groups and key
informant interviews with local stakeholders. The purpose of these structured interviews and
focus groups is for our teams to identify central themes associated with access to care,
availability of crisis and emergency services, and the impact of mental illness and unmet needs
across various service sectors. We will also consider homelessness, transient populations, and
first responder services. We will develop thematic tables for this part of our analysis and
include this content in a draft report, which will be submitted at the end of Month Seven.
Quantitative Analysis and Draft Report
Immediately upon execution of the award, we will begin our analysis of prevalence, service
capacity, and cost data. The initial analysis will be completed within the first 120 days of the
project, leaving an opportunity to factor in any new data gathered through the initial on-site
review. We will submit the draft report of the needs assessment at the end of Month Seven.
Follow -Up On -Site, Final Report, and Final Presentation
Follow-up on-site meetings will be held in Months Six and Seven to review emerging findings
with local project leadership and other behavioral health system leaders. Project leads will
attend these meetings in person. The focus of these meetings will be to review our draft
findings to refine them and address any gaps, with the primary goal of reviewing and deepening
recommendations.

We will draft the final report of the needs assessment for the project leadership's review by
Month Eight. We propose scheduling the final presentation of findings and achievable
recommendations for local leadership after the report has been finalized in Month Nine.
Proposed Project Budget and Narrative
The proposed project budget is $300,000, inclusive of all MMHPI staff and consultant time,
meeting costs, travel costs, and material production. All deliverables will be provided in
electronic format. This is an optimal budget; however, we have included a scaled budget to best
fit the priorities of the stakeholders and project funders.
This component comprises all elements included in the proposal above. The primary on-site review
will involve the policy teams listed below, who will initiate focus groups and 40-50
key informant stakeholder interviews to identify central themes associated with access to care,
availability of crisis and emergency services, and the impact of mental illness and unmet need across
various service sectors as specified in this proposal. On-site reviews will include each of the project
leads, joined by support staff to provide analysis of existing capacity, gaps in capacity, and
opportunities to use program development, scaling, financing, and other strategies to meet the need.
Themes emerging from the qualitative analysis will be included in the final report.
Our criminal justice and adult policy teams, with support from clinical subject matter experts, will
identify service gaps and needs through a limited set of key informant and stakeholder interviews and
available data analyses. These interviews, and accompanying data, will focus particularly on
strategies to increase care engagement and retention, increase criminal justice system diversion,
decrease first responder systems engagement, decrease emergency system utilization for chronic
health and behavioral health needs, and reduce jail and hospital recidivism for people living with
serious mental illness or substance use disorders, with a specific focus on people who are homeless.
We will prepare analyses of prevalence based on data that considers Texas -specific demographic and
poverty data. These analyses will be performed for each of the cities specified in this proposal.
Additionally, we will provide analyses for licensed psychiatric bed capacity for each hospital in the
region and utilization rates over the past year; existing publicly -funded mental health and substance
use disorder programs and use; and costs associated with hospitalization and emergency department
use for psychiatric disorders and, if available, costs associated with local community mental health
programs.

Deep East Texas Regional Mental Health Assessment
Completed September 20181
Thanks to the generous support of the T.L.L. Temple Foundation, we conducted an independent
assessment of 22 counties across the Foundation's 24 -county service area in Deep East Texas.
The purpose of the assessment was to identify strategies to support the development of a
highly responsive, clinically effective and efficient community mental health system in this
largely rural region. The goal of the report was to use the findings and recommendations to
inform the T.L.L. Temple Foundation's strategic priorities for advancing mental health services
in Deep East Texas.
Houston Endowment Substance Use Disorder Systems Assessment
Completed July 20182
Thanks to the generous support of Houston Endowment, we conducted a comprehensive
assessment of health care system capacity in Harris County to meet the prevalence of needs for
substance misuse and substance use disorders (SUD) for all people in the county, across all age,
sex, race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic groups. Of particular importance, our team developed a
model of an ideal system of care for treating SUD, which, if implemented in Harris County,
would be the first of its kind in the nation. The report concludes with recommendations to
make progress toward an ideal SUD system of care; recommendations are aligned with the
structural components of the ideal system, from prevention to integrated primary care, co-
occurring capable specialty care, crisis services, and recovery supports. Key leadership in Harris
County are using the preliminary findings and recommendations to begin planning for system
changes. Once the full report is made public, a much broader array of stakeholders will be
engaged to implement recommendations based on locally determined priorities.

Harris County Mental Health Services for Children, Youth, and Families: 2017
System Assessment
Published October 2017
Thanks to the generous support of Houston Endowment, we conducted a comprehensive
assessment of health care system capacity for providing mental health services for Harris
County children, youth, and families. From this assessment, we developed an "Ideal System of
Care" for treating the mental health needs of children, which has four components: 1)
Integrated Behavioral Health, 2) Specialty Behavioral Health, 3) Rehabilitation Services, and 4)
Crisis Care Continuum. We identified higher -risk areas by mapping poverty rates overall and by
school district, and found multiple pockets of need across the county, with higher rates of
poverty outside the Inner Loop 610 area than inside it. We also mapped current provider
locations across school districts, noting that many areas with the highest need are far from
treatment providers and public transportation routes, and many outlying school districts lack
providers within their geographic borders. All children, youth, and families in Harris County —
whether inside or outside of the child welfare and juvenile justice systems — face stark gaps in
care and poor outcomes as a result, and our report's recommendations focused on how to
bolster services based on the identified "Ideal System of Care" to best fill those gaps and
improve outcomes for children, youth, and their families. Findings — and relationships that were
formed as a result of the system assessment in Harris County — have led to significant
developments in children's mental health care. Findings from the final report have been widely
shared and well received across the community, leading to efforts to expand integrated primary
and psychiatric care through the expansion of child psychiatry access programs (CPAP).
Relationships we formed with key players in the foster care system led to a current project
funded by DePelchin Children's Center to prepare the community for anticipated changes in the
foster care delivery system. Additionally, findings from the assessment have helped generate
over $6 million for area health care systems to address the recommendations.

stakeholders to build on current strengths, and support advancement of the counties' delivery
systems for mental health services. The assessment included provider site visits and over 115
interviews of key informants to gain an understanding of the current service array across the
four -county RGV region (Cameron, Hidalgo, Starr, and Willacy counties). This process led to the
development of recommendations for bolstering the behavioral health systems of the RGV
region, particularly identifying consensus on the need for county -level planning to coordinate
and enhance services. Since the report was published, LMHAs in the RGV have pursued and
secured funds for crisis services and integrated care — efforts that are consistent with
recommendations from this report. The publication of the report has also led to emerging
partnerships with local providers to pursue recommendations listed in the report, particularly
with respect to primary care, and engage us in providing consultation and technical assistance
to plan and implement these innovations.
Bexar County Mental Health Systems Assessment
Published September 2016
In the summer of 2015, Methodist Healthcare Ministries of South Texas, Inc. (MHM) engaged us
to review the performance of Bexar County behavioral health systems. We conducted the
review in fall 2015 and early 2016. While approximately 500,000 people in the county suffer
from some level of mental health need, the primary focus of this assessment was on the most
severe needs: adults with serious mental illness (just over 60,000) and children with serious
emotional disorders (just over 37,500). An additional focus was on the over 56,000 people
(nearly 35,000 adults and nearly 21,500 children) in poverty (under 200% FPL) that serve as the
benchmark of need to be met by the overall public mental health system. We identified
numerous high-quality programs, providers, and pockets of excellence in Bexar County, but
found that the primary challenge was the need to transform the existing behavioral health
service array from a set of discrete programs and special projects into a high performing system
of care. Moreover, we recommended that the system of care should be managed by a
collaborative of elected officials, local funders, and leading providers. Immediately following
the report, the Southwest Texas Regional Advisory Committee (STRAC) took on the task of
working with MHM, leaders of all local hospital systems, The Center for Health Care Services,
Haven for Hope, Bexar County, and first responders (fire and law enforcement) to address the
adult recommendations from our report. They immediately enacted the primary
recommendation of developing a locally -driven, empowered behavioral health leadership team
to lead collaborative efforts by including all key local leaders and serving as the forum for
planning.

Initial System Assessment of Texas Panhandle Local Behavioral Health Systems
Published September 2016
We were invited to conduct an initial assessment of behavioral health systems in the Texas
Panhandle region as a means of coordinating planning efforts and resources to improve service
delivery in the region's 26 counties. The goal of this report was to provide a better
understanding of the mental health needs in the Texas Panhandle and to inform strategic
priorities of the Panhandle Behavioral Health Alliance (a community collaborative) to advance
the mental health services in the Texas Panhandle. The Panhandle Behavioral Health Alliance
and member agencies have successfully sought and procured grants to make significant service
delivery improvements in the Texas Panhandle counties.
Midland County Mental Health Systems Assessment
Completed September 20164
Community leaders in Midland County engaged us to review the performance of its behavioral
health systems. These leaders included Midland County, the Midland County Hospital District,
the Midland Independent School District, Permian Basin Community Centers, the Abell -Hanger
Foundation, the Scharbauer Foundation, United Way, and Texas Tech University Health
Sciences Center -Permian Basin. The objective of the assessment was to evaluate current
capacity for service delivery, system development, and population health management to
determine viable strategies that build on existing strengths to further develop the system of
care for the region. We provided findings and recommendations for each major behavioral
health provider and agency that was engaged in the systems assessment process. Specifically,
we made targeted recommendations for ensuring the commitment and alignment of key local
leaders to support the development of a trusted and effective forum for local systems planning
and coordination. The Midland community leadership has hired staff and continued to pursue
actions that were recommended in the report. It has also recently launched a successful Okay
to Say campaign.
Review of Harris County Mental Health Systems Performance
Published May 2015
Harris County engaged us to review its public mental health service delivery systems, with a
primary focus on the local mental health and mental retardation authority (MHMRA) of Harris
County, the county's largest publicly funded mental health provider. The broader service
delivery systems that also offer mental health and related services were included in the review,
such as additional public health care services, social services and human services systems, the
criminal justice system, managed care organizations, and schools. The report includes findings

Mental Health Best Practice Opportunities for Denton County
Published March 2015
United Way of Denton County, on behalf of the Denton County Citizen's Council on Mental
Health (Citizen's Council), contracted with us to carry out an independent analysis of the
county's local mental health system performance and identify specific strategies for Denton
County to support continued development of a highly responsive, clinically effective and
efficient community behavioral health system for the population of the entire county. The
project objectives focused on evaluating the then -current capacity based on a self-assessment
completed by the Citizen's Council in 2014, and determining viable strategies to continue to
develop a system of care for the community. We interviewed United Way leadership as well as
several members of the Citizen's Council and developed recommendations that centered on
shifting from fact-finding to action. One recommendation was to develop a behavioral health
leadership team (BHLT) for Denton County, which was accomplished; the BHLT continues to
operate.

MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor and City Council
Through: Mike Land, City Manager
From: Traci E. Leach, Deputy City Manager
Date: September 28, 2021
Reference: DART Rail Update
2040: Innovative Transportation Networks
Introduction:
This agenda item is an administrative requirement related to Dallas Area Rapid Transit's (DART)
right to exercise eminent domain (ED) for the Silver Line project. While the City has no official role
regarding the acquisition process for the rail line, DART is unique in that their enabling legislation
requires DART to have its ED Resolution approved by the governmental entity where the property
resides before DART begins the ED process. It has long been DART's policy to obtain the
governmental approval of its resolution as soon as possible after DART's approval and before written
offers are made to property owners.
The resolution before the Council this evening covers three parcels that the DART Board approved
in May 2021 (two parcels) and August 2021 (one parcel). The parcels labeled DEI -005 and DEI -
006 are small drainage easements that are necessary for the project. The parcel labeled CB1-014B is
a fragment parcel that was erroneously omitted from previous surveys of the area.
Background:
The Silver Line will connect DFW Airport to the cities of Coppell, Dallas, Carrollton, Addison,
Richardson and Plano. Along that route, only the City of Coppell is not a member of DART. In 2017,
we saw the advancement of the Silver Line regional rail service from its potential construction and
activation well beyond the year 2030 in the regional mobility plan, to actual approval, funding and
scheduling for revenue service in early 2024.
The Silver Line alignment extends the rail line off the existing DART right-of-way just west of Moore
Road, where it deviates south into the City of Dallas and Cypress Waters. The rail line heads back
north and re joins the existing rail right-of-way east of S. Coppell Road. DART is responsible for all
acquisition activities for property that is required for the new rail right-of-way.
Legal: The City Attorney has reviewed and approved as to form.
Fiscal Impact: None.
Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of this resolution.

From: Jennifer Miller, Director of Finance
Date: September 28, 2021
Reference: Approval of an Interlocal Agreement with Wise County for cooperative purchasing
activities
2040: Pillar 0: Foundation of Sustainable Government
Introduction:
This item is being presented for approval of an Interlocal Agreement between the City of Coppell and Wise County.
Analysis:
Wise County is seeking to utilize the city's new ambulance billing agreement. No previous interlocal agreement
exists, therefore, the appropriate Contract Purchasing Agreement referencing Local Government Code 271.102,
establishing a cooperative purchasing program between the two entities was developed and has been signed by the
County Judge of Wise County.
Legal Review: The agenda item has been reviewed by legal during the agenda review process.
Fiscal Impact:
The utilization of Wise County's cooperatively bid contracts in the future will offer cost savings by reducing
Coppell's staff time in procuring applicable products and services.
Recommendation:
The Finance Department recommends approval.

MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor and City Council
Through: Mike Land, City Manager
From: Traci E. Leach, Deputy City Manager
Date: September 28, 2021
Reference: FY22 Annual Work Plan
Introduction:
Attached you will find the proposed FY 2022 Council Goals and Staff Work Plan. The plan was
developed in response to the work and direction done by the Coppell City Council during the January
2021 Council Retreat with some additional input around the recently adopted 2040 Plan. The results
of the Council's work were incorporated into the development of the proposed 2021-22 Budget and
provides the direction for staff's activities in accomplishing the Council's stated Goals for the coming
fiscal year.
The only item that changed from the draft presented at the previous meeting was the work plan
objective under Pillar 3 regarding block parties. Instead of "host one block party per year, it was
changed to "sponsor one block party per year."
Analysis:
The document is formatted as it has been in the past but has been updated to reflect the new Vision
2040 Pillars and Goals. The first column identifies the 2040 Pillar. The second column identifies the
2040 Goals as prioritized by the Council during the January retreat and in support of the specific
pillar. The third column identifies the work plan objectives in support of the Council adopted pillars
and goals.
Work on these items will begin after October 1, 2021 with the start of the new fiscal year.
Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the FY 2022 Council Goals and Staff Work Plan.

Guidelines for Elected Officials and Appointed Boards, Commissions and Committees Using
Personal or Professional Social Media Platforms
While elected officials and City Council -appointed board, committee and commission members
may maintain and use personal web pages and websites, blogs, and social networking sites,
their status as elected/appointed officials requires that the content of any postings on those
sites not be in violation of existing City laws, policies, directives, rules or regulations.
The City's image as a professional, nonpartisan organization is critical to maintaining the
respect of its constituents and operations free from personal opinions. Although the City
recognizes that elected and appointed officials may choose to express themselves by posting
personal information upon social media platforms or by making comments on sites hosted by
other persons, groups or organizations, this right of expression should not interfere with the
operation and governance of the City. That is, although the City acknowledges its officials have
the First Amendment right to free speech, the right is not absolute when involving matters of
official City business, issues or concerns.
If an elected or appointed official conducts any City business or communication as an official
from a personal account, professional account, or an account created for a
board/committee/commission, officials should assume that any City -related communications
will be considered a public record subject to the Texas Public Information Act as set forth in
Chapter 552 of the Texas Government Code Sec. 552.002, as well as applicable portions of the
records retention laws.
Definitions
1. Personal Social Media Account: Personal accounts are intended strictly for individual
people only and are not meant for commercial purposes. On a personal account, a user
can post updates, share photos and videos, maintain a friends list, share interests and
more. Personal profiles are typically associated with a person, as opposed to a position.
2. Professional Social Media Account: A professional accounts is a place where artists,
public figures, businesses, brands, organizations, and nonprofits can connect with their
fans, constituents, or customers. Professional profiles are typically associated with the
position, office, or seat.
3. Campaign Social Media Account: This kind of account is used by candidates to share
information about their platform and views.
4. Confidential information: Information is excepted from required public disclosure if it is
information considered to be confidential by law, either constitutional, statutory, or by
judicial decision. Such information may include but is not limited to certain personnel
information, non-public information from criminal investigations and business trade
secrets.
a. Confidential information also includes statements or communications, whether
express or implied, oral or written, between the city officers and employees and
their attorneys, work product of the city attorney or other attorneys
representing the city, its officers and employees.
5. Non-public Information: Non-public information is information made available to
elected and appointed officials that has not yet been made available to the general
public. Non-public information may not be considered confidential by law, statute or
judicial decision.
Professional and Personal Conduct Standards
1. All officials are expected and required to conduct themselves in a manner consistent
with the City's policies and standards of conduct, as outlined in Article 1-13 of the City's
Code of Ordinances.
2. It is anticipated that from time to time, officials will have access to information that is
considered privileged or confidential under the Texas Government Code. Such
information is typically considered an exception to the public records law and may have
specific penalties for inappropriate disclosure. By way of example, such information may
include but is not limited to certain personnel information, non-public information from
criminal investigations and business trade secrets. Officials may not disclose any
confidential or privileged information about the City, its constituents, its employees, or
its contractors. Officials must be particularly careful to protect against the inadvertent
disclosure of confidential or privileged information.
3. In addition to confidential information, it is also expected that officials will occasionally
have access information that is considered to be non-public. It is recommended that
officials consider the impact of sharing this type of information publicly prior to posting.
By way of example, such information may include but is not limited to, personnel
retirement or resignation announcements.
4. Officials should be honest and accurate when posting information or news, and should
quickly correct any mistakes, misstatements and/or factual errors in content upon
discovery. Officials should not post or share information known to be false about the
City, its employees, constituents, other public officials, suppliers, vendors, or
contractors.
5. Unless the official has been designated to serve as a spokesperson, officials should not
represent themselves as a spokesperson for the City Council, a City board or committee,
the City Administration, or any City department. Officials should not present personal
opinions as the opinion of other Council members or the Council as a whole unless
authorized.
6. Officials are expressly prohibited from using personal or professional social media to
engage in any activity or conduct that violates federal, state, or local law. Officials are
also prohibited from using professional social media accounts to circumvent election or
campaign requirements, to campaign for re-election or endorse candidates for any
public office at any level of government or political subdivision.
7. Officials are prohibited from deleting posts and related comments regarding any City -
related matters to avoid violating record preservation requirements outlined in Texas
Government Code Sec. 552.
8. Officials should be mindful that posting content regarding City -related matters could
inadvertently result in the violation of the Open Meetings Law if enough other public
officials respond or comment on the post, resulting in a quorum. If this occurs, the
online conversation should immediately cease with no further posts by the officials and
the City Secretary should be immediately notified.
9. Officials are prohibited from using social media to engage in any activity that constitutes
a conflict of interest.
Additional Best Practices and Guidelines for Elected and Appointed Officials
The following best practices and guidelines are strongly recommended to ensure that the
personal and professional use of social media by elected and appointed officials is done so in a
responsible manner.
1. Public officials should separate personal social media accounts from professional social
media accounts so that City -related matters and all public records generated from those
posts are easily archived and to avoid city related information being intermingled with
personal posts not related to City matters.
a. If a professional social media account is created to disseminate city -related
business, the records should be archived and retained.
2. Officials should exercise caution with respect to posted comments, particularly those
concerning the City and the business of the City.
3. Officials are strongly encouraged to consider the potential impact of social media
statements prior to posting. The City strives to be professional in its operations and
processes. Posts that express favoritism and/or bias for or against any individual or
group of individuals (e.g., based upon race, gender, national origin, sexual orientation,
political affiliation, etc.), reflect poorly on the public official, as well as the City and its
residents. Further, comments suggesting such treatment can expose the City to liability
and legal costs.
4. Officials should be mindful that members of the public who may appear before the City
Council as well as boards, commissions or committees come from all walks of life. Public
comments, in any forum — including on personal and professional social media accounts
— that contain racial slurs, profane language or acronyms for profane language, express
bigotry toward a group based on race, religion, national origin, sexual orientation,
gender, gender identity, party affiliation or any other legally protected classification may
be considered conduct unbecoming.
5. Officials should consider whether liking, sharing, retweeting or commenting on any
social media posts could be perceived as an endorsement of or about the City, its
employees, constituents, other public officials, suppliers, vendors, or contractors
relating to views on various issues, including political affiliation.
6. Officials should refrain from using social media accounts to communicate with City
employees about City -related matters as this creates a public record on employees'
personal accounts that must be retained per Public Records Law outlined in Texas
Government Code Sec. 552. If elected officials want the City's official pages to respond
to a social media inquiry, the following responses are suggested:
a. Twitter: "Tagging @CityofCoppell on your inquiry so staff may respond to you
directly."
b. Facebook: "Tagging @City of Coppell on your inquiry so staff may respond to you
directly."
c. Instagram: "Tagging @cityofcoppelltx on your inquiry so staff may respond to
you directly."
d. Other platforms, such as Nextdoor: "Please contact the City of Coppell directly so
staff may respond to you. You may also submit your inquiry online by visiting
✓.:..:.....p. "....:..:..g..y..:::.4: / .:....i .J.1 or by calling the City of Coppell during
business hours at 972-462-0022."
7. Public officials should be cautious in using official City -provided logos, taglines, symbols
and photographs that belong to or are licensed by the City on personal social media
sites. Elected and appointed officials choosing to use official City -provided photographs
and identifying themselves as elected officials on personal social media sites should
tailor communications on those sites accordingly.
Records Retention
Any city -related content (messages, posts, photographs, videos, etc.) created or received using
a social media account is considered public record. As such, the following should be considered.
1. The City does not archive or manage social media accounts for elected or appointed
officials. The official is solely responsible for the retention and archival of content
published to individual accounts.
2. It is recommended that elected and appointed officials create a folder for city -related
social media content. Officials should capture screenshots of city -related posts and save
them in this folder.
3. Any posts that are deleted or hidden from an elected or appointed official's social media
account for violation of the City's posted social media guidelines - whether the content
was posted by the official or a member of the public - should be captured via
screenshot and retained.
Enforcement
In recognizing that public service is time consuming and can involve complex matters,
this policy is not intended to scrutinize or penalize a good faith misgiving or inadvertent
mistake.
Violation of this policy could result in a complaint that the elected or appointed official has
violated the code of conduct outlined in Article 1-13 of the City's Code of Ordinances. Upon
receipt of a complaint, the procedures outlined in Section 1-13.7 should be followed.

2040 Pillars: Enhance the Unique "Community Oasis" Experience &
Create Business & Innovation Nodes
Executive Summary:
This request was continued from the September 14' City Council hearing. Council asked the applicant to
reduce the density of the proposal, work with staff and the neighbors to address their concerns and bring
the case back for consideration. In this revised proposal, the applicant has made several changes to the Site
Plan and reduced the lot coverage by reducing the size of each of the units; however, according to the
applicant, the reduction in density (units per acre) was not feasible. A map of the densities of this proposal
and the surrounding live/work units, townhomes and patio homes is included for your reference. The
applicant has met with the neighbors and has received some positive reactions to the proposed changes.
Each of the proposed units have been reduced in width and length. Revised Elevations have not been
resubmitted to date, but the plan indicates that there will be some overhang of the second floor over the
driveway and parking. The previously proposed stacked parking configuration behind the garages was
modified. The revised plans show the proposed parking to be offset from the garage parking to allow for
better functionality.
The drive aisle leading into the property off Heath Lane is now setback from the eastern property line by
the required 10 -feet and landscaping is proposed for this area. A revised landscape plan has not been
submitted, but the applicant has indicated that there will be 4 Live Oaks planted in this area.
Because each of the units has been reduced in width by one foot and shifted south, the 5' setback variance
request for the proposed unit on the northern property line has been eliminated. The applicant is now
proposing 10', although there is a slight encroachment into the 10' perimeter from the modified parking
configuration on the northeast corner of the site.
According to the applicant, two of the abutting neighbors to the east of the project are in support of the 8'
wooden fence. On September 21, 2021, the applicant met with Don Walker of the Old Coppell Townhomes
to discuss the revisions made to the plans. Mr. Walker is now in support of the proposal. The applicant
will continue to meet with the neighbors prior to the Council meeting on the 28'. The applicant submitted
a Concessions Summary (attached) that outlines the revisions made to the plans as a result of the Planning
Commission, neighborhood concerns and the issues brought up at City Council.
Previous Summary with changes in bold:
The applicant is proposing to construct five speculative live/work units and one common area parking lot. The
interior floorplan will be finalized with the retention of a buyer. Approximately half or more of the ground floor
will need to be dedicated to work area, while the upper floor will serve as a living area. Each unit is proposed to
contain approximately 3,000 square feet of air-conditioned space, a covered front porch, a two -car garage and has
the potential for a covered second story porch. The applicant has reduced the proposal to only include 1,200
square feet of air-conditioned space on the first floor as opposed to the 1,500 square feet previously shown.
The one -foot and seven -foot side yard setbacks between the units, as proposed, is typical of a "zero lot line"
development. A private maintenance, access, utility, and drainage easement is proposed between the units. This
will allow the lot owners to access & maintain the sides their respective units as well as provide access from the
rear parking to the front. The reason for the Planned Development request is to allow for specific conditions unique
to this project. These conditions include:
1. Allowing for the live/work land use, with the stipulation that no more than one unit shall be allowed to be
a high parking generator (1 space per 175 square feet). This includes uses such as medical & dental office
and chiropractor.
2. An eight -foot -high wooden fence being allowed in lieu of a six-foot screening wall.
3. '
�€e . (No longer requesting the variance, reduced the building width on each of the units and
shifted south, although a slight encroachment exists for the modified parking).
4.
mete . (No longer requesting the variance, 10' perimeter provided with 4 overstory trees
adjacent to driveway).
5. Garages shall only be used for the parking of vehicles, no workspace.
6. Screening of second floor patio area is required to reduce the sight lines to the adjacent residences to the
east.
Introduction:
Live/work uses at the proposed location are compliant with the 2030 Coppell Comprehensive Master Plan.
Previous Analysis with changes in bold:
There are a total of 43 33 parking spaces proposed:
- 11 on -street parking spaces on Coppell Road,
- 10 garage parking spaces for the residents
- 15 ,.p.,ees b, hiff a toe garages 5 shared parking spaces staggered north of each drive, not behind the
garages.
- 7 shared spaces on a common area lot, accessed from the driveway on Hearth at the rear of the units.
Originally, 44 were shown, but one of the on -street parking spaces on S Coppell Road has been removed due to
visibility concerns discussed at the Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting.
The required parking, as indicated on the Site Plan, shows two scenarios (Revisions in Bold):
1. 5 professional offices only (1 parking space per 300 sq. ft.) + 2 garage parking per residence = 35 total
parking spaces required (Revised: The size of the office use was reduced from 1,500 to 1,200 square
feet; therefore, reducing the parking required in this scenario to 30 total parking spaces).
2. 1 medical office (1 parking space per 175 sq. ft.) and 4 professional offices (1 parking space per 300 sq.
ft.) + 2 garage parking per residence = 39 total parking spaces required (Revised: The size of the business
use was reduced from 1,500 to 1,200 square feet; therefore, reducing the parking required in this
scenario to 33 total parking spaces).
The proposed landscaping area exceeds the 30% minimum area required. There are 18 trees (Escarpment Live
Oak, Lacebark Elm, Cedar Elm) that are proposed be added. According to the applicant, four additional Live
Oaks will be added with the revisions made. The total tree mitigation required for the site is $1,968. The
proposed front building elevations are similar, and three of the five units have upstairs balconies. The southernmost
building has a wrap-around porch because it has dual frontages. All the buildings are to be constructed of
horizontal siding using traditional paint colors from the Sherwin Williams palette. The elevations of the building
are in compliance with the Old Town Design Guidelines. The elevations will again be analyzed after they are
resubmitted reflecting the changes made to the Site Plan.

Concessions
Planning and Zoning Public Hearing
At the planning and zoning hearing on 8/19/2021 the following concessions were made:
• Conceded to no more than one high use parking generator such as a medical
office.
• Agreed to screen the patios above the garage with a visibility screen.
• Agreed to give up the first street parking space and turn it into a landscape island
to increase the visibility angle.
After making the above concessions the Planning and Zoning commission approved the
project with a unanimous vote.
City Council Public Hearing
After the city Council public hearing on 9/14/2021 the following concessions were made:
• All the buildings have been reduced by 1 ft. in width. Moving each building south
by 1 ft. leaves no need for any exceptions to the 10 ft. set back on the Northern
property line.
• The front porch was shortened and the air condition space on the first floor was
reduced to 1200 sq. ft. The update in square footage will reduce the parking
requirements by 5 spaces, and also allows the through -drive to be moved 10 feet
off of the East property line. With these changes, no variance will be requested
on the 10 ft. setback of the East property line.
• A 10 ft. landscape area will be added between the drive and the fence. This
addresses the concern of hitting the fence.
• Adding trees to the landscape plan in the 10 ft. set back area will add to the
privacy between the Eastern neighbor.
• Removed the "stacked" parking in front of the garage doors.
After making the above concessions the site plan changes were made and filed with the
city.
