MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Mike Land, City Manager
Date: September 26, 2023
Reference: Sustainable Government
Introduction:
This agenda item is the follow-up item to allow the City Council to continue the discussion regarding
the DeVos Institute for Arts Management study on long-term sustainability of the Coppell Arts Center
and its relationship to community arts groups. The key philosophical discussion point where City
Council direction and guidance are necessary is what equitable arrangement can be achieved between
the City, the Coppell Arts Foundation, Coppell Arts Council, and the Resident Companies that will
provide long-term, operational sustainability without unsustainably impacting its users, primarily the
resident companies. The Devos report outlined a proposal for a 5-year plan to take steps to address
the answer to this question. The underlying philosophical decision points to this discussion are:
1. Does the Council’s vision for the Arts Center still align with the idea that the facility will
continue to be an accessible, yet world-class facility?
2. Does the Council support an operating model that prioritizes revenue-generating events
(rentals and presenting shows) on the Arts Center calendar?
3. Does the Council support the proposed changes to the Resident Company Management
Agreements when they expire in 2024? The proposed changes are summarized on Slides 23
and 24 in Brett Egan’s presentation, which is attached.
4. Does the City Council view the Arts Center differently than other community amenity
facilities related to revenue generation and cost recovery?
Background:
This past February the City Council, in partnership with the Coppell Arts Center Foundation, initiated
a study by the DeVos Institute of Arts Management for the Coppell Arts Center. The scope of this
study was designed to support the City, the Foundation, the Arts Center, the Arts Council, and its
Resident Companies and make recommendations on key questions regarding the long-term
sustainability of the Arts Center and its relationship with vested parties.
Four key areas of the study included:
1) A review of current scheduling and fee conditions at the Coppell Arts Center; and
2
2) Facilitation of a discussion on the above with the Center, Resident Companies, and the
City Council; and
3) A plan to strengthen the fundraising activities of the Foundation, including its relationship
with other funding entities in the City, both public and private; and
4) Support for the Center’s Resident Companies with a focus on the development of key
strategies to assist in their own revenue development.
Brett Egan with DeVos presented their findings and recommendations on August 29, 2023.
Analysis:
DeVos’s study indicates that the Arts Center is starting from a very strong foundation in almost every
way that it could. It is an excellent example of what a successful public-private partnership can create
and achieve when all parties are aligned towards the same goal. Sustainably moving forward with
this same level of alignment is key to its future success. It is top-in-class in terms of targeting and
reaching the percentage of our community that is inclined to support the arts (20% reach), surpassing
The Met (10.3%), which DeVos considers the best attended cultural institution in the world. The Arts
Center benefitted from great management, which was cited on a number of occasions to describe the
efforts of the Arts Center leadership and staff in managing and adjusting operations to maximize
revenues and appropriately budget and manage expenditures.
The continued development, maturation, and sustainability of the Arts Center, the Arts Foundation,
and the Resident Companies will be informed by the direction received from the Council.

COPPELL ARTS CENTER
AUGUST 2023
FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
2
Status as of August 2023
The achievement of building, launching, and programming the Coppell Arts Center is an impressive example of a strong public-
private partnership, decades in the making.
Today’s vibrant center testifies to the shared vision, generosity, and perseverance of the City of Coppell, Coppell Arts Center
management, Resident Company leadership, The Coppell Arts Center Foundation, the Coppell Arts Council, and the citizens of
Coppell.
The investment recognizes that the arts build stronger communities, provide essential stimuli for education and enrichment, and
help foster economic vibrancy and sense of place.
3
Status as of August 2023
In addition to the City, the primary contributors to the development, well-being, and vibrancy of the Center are the following:
-Coppell Arts Center Management
-Arts Council
-Coppell Arts Center Foundation
-Theatre Coppell
-Coppell Community Orchestra
-Ballet Ensemble of Texas
-Coppell Community Chorale
-Coppell Creatives
Together these parties have conceived, advocated for, sought funding for, and provided programming within the Arts Center for
the benefit of the students, artists, and citizens of Coppell and the City’s guests, friends, neighbors and visitors.
4
Status as of August 2023
Today we meet to discuss the path ahead in a spirit of continued partnership, collaboration, and belief in the power of the arts to
build and sustain strong communities.
5
Status of the Center
Since its opening, the Center has provided a home and world-class meeting, convening, and presenting facilities for a number of
entities. Primary amongst its uses have been:
1.The Center has programmed its own “Presents” series, in which the Center contracts with touring artists to come to Coppell
and perform for a fee. Typically, the Center retains all ticket, concessions, and other revenue from these performances.
2.The Resident Companies have utilized the Center for rehearsals, performances, exhibitions, and special events.
3.The Foundation has utilized the Center for meetings, fundraising events, and other community-building efforts.
4.The City has utilized the Center for meetings and other public events.
5.The Center has rented rooms and theaters in the building to external parties.
6
Status of the Center
At the same time, the Center has sought to find its footing, financially.
According to the Revised 2023 CAC Budget (July 2023), the financial conditions at the Center are the following:
In FY23, it is estimated that activities of the CAC will cost approximately $2M more than it will earn or raise (based on
budget; actuals may be different, and likely be less).
This gap will be filled by City appropriation. In other words, the CAC will cost the City approximately $2M in FY23.
From what activities does the operating deficit result?
The majority of unfunded costs incurred by the Center in FY23 – approximately $1.7M – is to support the general operating
costs of the Center, including use by Resident Companies and other entities.
The remainder of unfunded costs – approximately $350K – is incurred by the Center to support direct costs from the
“Presents” series.
7
Moving Forward
Moving forward, two key questions arise:
1.Now that the building is open, and in alignment with all parties’ commitment to good faith discussion, what fair
arrangement can be achieved between the Center, the City, the Foundation, the Council, and Resident Companies that will
help sustain both the Center’s operations and facilities in perpetuity but that will not unnecessarily or unsustainably impact
any of its users, and notably the Resident Companies?
2.What are the most suitable roles of the Coppell Arts Center Foundation and the Arts Council in this effort?
Through resolution of these questions, we aspire to determine a sustainable logic for the role all parties can play to ensure that
the Arts Center remains the first-class venue it was conceived to be, and is expected to remain, by all involved.
8
Moving Forward: An accessible, world-class facility
This study has aimed, foremost, to consider what will be required to operate and maintain a world-class facility.
The current management agreement and the proposed new management agreement both encumber the City to maintain a
“first-class” standard.
This is not inexpensive!
This study recognizes the political and social will to support the Center and ensure it is an accessible, vibrant, and sustainable
enterprise.
It also recognizes that the Council wishes to achieve as sustainable a balance as reasonable.
9
Goal: A +/- $1 Million Improvement in Performance over 5 Years
Thus, we ask, what will it take to maintain a world class standard, and work to gradually cover, over a five-year period,
approximately half of the 2023 projected operating deficit, or $1 Million per year?
10
Goal: A +/- $1 Million Improvement in Performance over 5 Years
The primary means for CAC to create sustaining revenue in the future are four-fold:
1.Fundraising
2.Rental and Usage Fees
3.Sales of Tickets and Calibrations to Presents Series
4.Other Incomes (“Booth Fees”, Facility Fees, Concessions, Ad Sales, Sponsorships, Grants)
11
An estimated breakdown of $1 Million in improved performance, gradually built over a five-year
period, may resemble:
Fundraising
30%
Rentals and
Usage Fees
50%
Presents
10%
Other
10%
12
Fundraising
An achievable five-year goal for the Foundation would be to raise $300,000 annually.
As a frame of reference: In 2022, the CAC sold tickets to 2692 “unique” or individual buyers. (Some “unique” buyers purchased
two or more tickets). An average gift of $125 per 2022 ticket-buyer would be enough to achieve this goal.
In its first year of active fundraising on behalf of the Center (2022), the Foundation raised approximately $80,000.
Suggested subsequent-year goals are:
-2024: $100,000
-2025: $150,000
-2026: $200,000
-2027: $250,000
-2028: $300,000
A separate strategy for Foundation fundraising has been developed as part of this scope.
13
Rentals and Usage Fees
The current management agreement between the Coppell Arts Center and Resident Companies reflects the City’s founding
commitment to provide world-class space for performance and exhibition, and Resident Company commitment to provide high-
quality entertainment, enrichment, and education for Coppell area audiences.
Two key areas – Scheduling and Usage Fees – in the current management agreement suggest review as we consider a holistic path to
increased sustainability:
1.Scheduling: Resident Company usage currently is prioritized over “revenue-producing” events – for both
performances/exhibitions and rehearsals. This is loyal to the founding spirit of the Center as a home for Resident Companies but
has limited the Center’s efforts to book revenue-producing activities such as “presents” performances and third-party rentals.
2.Usage Fees: Resident Companies are, at present, exempt from usage fees, except in the case they exceed a comparatively
generous “basic services” package. Resident Companies are also, at present, largely exempt from fees to use Adjacent Spaces.
For these reasons, the current management agreement places considerable responsibility on the City and the Center to sustain
operations and maintenance of the Center with limited availability to earned revenue.
14
Rentals and Usage Fees
Depending on the year, the combined annual expenses of the five resident companies is approximately $250,000-300,000.
In this context, while reasonable usage fees are likely needed as part of a long-term compromise to ensure sustainability,
the path forward is not likely to rely in significant measure on usage fees paid by resident companies.
Because Resident Companies are not charged for usage of CAC space – either for rehearsal or performance – and only
charged for “above business as usual” usage of CAC labor, equipment or other services, in FY23, it is estimated that the
combined payments of Resident Companies to the Center will total approximately $7,800.
A significant change to usage fees – such as increasing them to market rates charged to external parties – would represent
a meaningful shift in the relationship between the CAC and the Resident Companies. At the same time, it is critical that CAC
is able to drive additional revenues.
Before we look at any additional fees to Resident Companies, let’s take a look at alternatives.
15
Rentals and Usage Fees
The primary source of meaningful additional revenue in coming years can be from market-appropriate rental and usage fees charged
to outside parties. If successful, these revenues will significantly improve conditions, for both CAC and Resident Company benefit.
However, this will require ensuring that sufficient additional rental “inventory” is available for this purpose.
At present, the building is activated – through CAC, Resident Company, and third-party usage – 344 of 350 “usable” days per year.
The two primary venues – the Wilson Theater and the Main Hall – are the most “rentable” venues and form the focus of this discussion.
In FY23:
The Wilson Theater will be used for 219 days per year by Theatre Coppell.
The Main Hall will be used for 107 days per year by Resident Companies (Ballet, Orchestra, Chorale)
CAC Presents will use the halls for 43 days per year
The facilities will be rented by CAC to third parties for 89 days per year
The City of Coppell uses the CAC for 36 occasions per year (including the Chamber)
The Coppell Arts Foundation uses the CAC on 6 occasions per year
16
Rentals and Usage Fees: External Rentals
For example, renting 100 additional days of inventory in each the Wilson and Main Theaters each year would yield approximately
$600,000 (when averaged between performance and rehearsal uses). While an additional $600,000 is neither needed nor
likely feasible, a version of this path can form revenue focus #1 but is only possible if additional “inventory” is available for this
purpose – specifically in the Wilson Theater and Main Hall.
Rental Fees Performance Rehearsal
Wilson Theater 3000 1500
Main 5000 2500
If Rented Externally for:
50 Days
Wilson Theater 150000 75000
Main 250000 125000
100 Days
Wilson Theater 300000 150000
Main 500000 250000
150 Days
Wilson Theater 450000 225000
Main 750000 375000
17
Rentals and Usage Fees: Resident Companies
Secondly, we can look at a sensibly and sustainably modified arrangement between Resident Companies and the Center.
In 2022-23, the combined Resident Company usage of the Main Hall, Wilson Theater, and Reception Area(s) had a value of
$832,500.
On a moving forward basis, if CAC charged Resident Companies just 5% of this value (or, in other words, subsidized usage by
95%), assuming the same level of usage, Resident Companies would pay approximately $41,750 in the aggregate each year
(based on 2023 dollars).
If this policy were adopted, this nominal usage fee would be billed on a per-usage basis.
This would represent an average per-day usage fee of $150 (or $18.75 per hour on an 8-hour day). (This is an average of Wilson
and Main Hall rates.)
To decrease need for Resident Company usage of the Theater and Main Hall, the Council is considering making available a
comparable space for rehearsals: the Hangar.
18
Sales of Tickets and Calibrations to Presents Series
Over time, the Presents Series administered by the CAC can also achieve additional cost effectiveness and revenue
enhancement. The following tactics can be pursued:
Revenues
–Increase total ticket sales;
–Increase average ticket price; and/or
–Charge an additional or increased facilities usage fee on each ticket sold.
In year one of operations, CAC and Resident Companies sold approximately 15,000 tickets.
An additional facilities replenishment fee of $2.50 per ticket would, in this case, yield
approximately $40,000 in revenue.
Expense Reductions
–CAC is “finding its footing” but early indications illustrate an ability to perform better than budget on
the expense side.
Between these efforts, an additional $100,000 can be sought.
19
Other, Ancillary Income
Other means of new, ancillary revenues can include:
Sponsorship Sales
Grants
Advertisement Sales: on-site, program book
Modify the “basic services” package, charging additional for above-standard usage of equipment and/or labor.
20
In summary, then, CAC can look to create a +/- $1M improvement in performance (increased
revenues or decreased expenses) through the following measures:
Approx. $300,000 in new fundraising
Approx. $470,000 in increased rental and usage
fees
Approx. $30,000 in usage fees paid by Resident
Companies
Approx. $100,000 in increased revenues and/or
decrease costs from Presents
Approx. $100,000 in new revenues from Ancillary
ef forts
Fundraising
30%
Rentals and
Usage Fees
50%
Presents
10%
Other
10%
21
The execution of this strategy will require the following:
1.Access to comparable rehearsal facilities for Resident Companies currently “in residence” at the CAC for a majority of the
year – encouraging off-site rehearsals to free more inventory for rental sales
2.A revised scheduling protocol that enables the CAC to offer dates to prospective renters in advance of Resident Company
booking of season dates, while maintaining a best-faith effort to supply Resident Companies with preferred dates
3.A focused fundraising effort by the Foundation, with ability to provide access to the performances and special events of the
Resident Companies, the Presents series, and other CAC functions. It is likely this fundraising effort will ultimately require
staff support.
4.Coordination of messaging between Arts Council and Foundation regarding fundraising. The Foundation is ready to assume
the role of the primary fundraising arm for the Center, while respecting and supporting the Arts Council’s fundraising for
public art (e.g. Sip and Stroll), and its advocacy for the Coppell Arts Sector.
5.Enhanced direct fundraising or other means of revenue production (or cost decreases) by the Resident Companies to offset
the 5% rental usage fee.
22
It is likely this strategy will require time to implement. For instance, a five-year trajectory might
resemble:
*Estimate for aggregate usage by all Resident Companies.
2024 2025 2026 2027 2028
Fundraising 100,000 150,000 200,000 250,000 300,000
Rentals / Usage Fees 100,000 200,000 300,000 400,000 470,000
Resident Company*30,000 30,000 30,000 30,000 30,000
Presents Revenue / Savings 25,000 50,000 75,000 100,000 100,000
Other Incomes 25,000 50,000 75,000 100,000 100,000
280,000 480,000 680,000 880,000 1,000,000
23
To support this transition, proposed Key Changes to Management Agreement include:
A nominal charge for the usage of space billed to Resident Companies. This nominal fee will represent a 95% subsidy against
market rates charged to third party renters.
Block Booking is billed at a Daily Rate; requests for Dedicated and Flexible Use outside of Block booking are billed at Hourly rates.
Scheduling Process:
There will be an Annual Request Period each year for the Resident Companies to submit their dates for up to 6 Block
Booking Periods and other Dedicated and Flexible Use Requests as defined in the User Agreement.
The Center will review and confirm Resident Company requests in keeping with past organizational practices and booking
patterns. However, it is understood that conflicts between Resident Company booking requests and the Center’s revenue-
generating bookings (either third-party rentals or “Presents” series), will require good-faith consideration by both parties,
and that in the event of an irreconcilable conflict, preference may be provided to revenue-generating rentals and bookings.
On March 1st of each year the Resident Companies’ reservations will be confirmed,and after that, only a Flexible Date
request can be revoked for a revenue-generating request.
24
Proposed Key Changes to Management Agreement to support this process include:
Contracts will have one auto-renewal term for three years. After that, the City may opt to renew again or ask the Resident Company to
reapply to be a Resident Company of the Center.
Users of the building will be asked to cover the cost of any damages to the building or its property resulting from usage.
No subletting will be permitted.

Services Interlocal Government Agreement, effective October 1, 2023, through September 30, 2024;
in the amount of $3,131.00; as budgeted; and authorizing the Mayor to sign.
Background:
Under this interlocal agreement, Dallas County Health and Human Services shall offer our residents
the following services: Tuberculosis Control Services; Sexually Transmitted Disease Control
Services; Communicable Disease Control Services; and Laboratory Services.
The County also agrees to provide to the City, per state and federal law, the following public health
services: immunizations, child health care, high-risk infant case management, and home visits.
The County uses “a sliding-scale fee” based on the residents’ ability to pay for these services, and the
City pays $3,131.00 per year, which is the agreed-upon amount for the City’s share of the total cost
of the program less federal and state funding. This agreement has been in existence for over 25 years,
and the City is billed by the County monthly. The billing amount has remained the same for over 17
years. Note that all interlocal agreements must be approved by City Council regardless of the value
of the services provided.
Benefit to the Community:
This interlocal agreement protects public health by providing The City of Coppell’s residents access
to Dallas County health services.

THE STATE OF TEXAS § INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT FOR
§ COORDINATED HEALTH SERVICES
§ BETWEEN DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS, ON
§ BEHALF OF DALLAS COUNTY HEALTH AND
§ HUMAN SERVICES, AND THE CITY
COUNTY OF DALLAS § OF COPPELL, TEXAS
1. PARTIES
Whereas, Dallas County (“County”) has offered to provide certain health services to the various
cities throughout Dallas County on a contract for services basis; and
Whereas, the City of Coppell, Texas (“City”) desires to participate with County in establishing
coordinated health services for City and Dallas County; and
Whereas, County will operate certain health services for the residents of City in order to promote
the effectiveness of local public health services and goals (“Program”); and
Whereas, the cooperative effort will allow cities located within Dallas County to participate in
providing public health services for their residents; and
Whereas, such cooperative effort serves and furthers the public purpose and benefits the citizens of
County as a whole.
Now therefore, County, on behalf of Dallas County Health and Human Services (“DCHHS”), enters
into this Interlocal Agreement (“Agreement”) with City, pursuant to the authorities of the Texas
Health and Safety Code Chapter 121, the Texas Government Code Chapter 791, and other
applicable laws for health services to City.

ILA FOR COORDINATED HEALTH SVCS BETW DALLAS COUNTY & CITY OF COPPELL—FY2024

public health services:

County also agrees to work with City in order to decentralize clinics and to plan and provide
for desired services by City; however, any other services that City requires, in addition to
the above mentioned services, may result in additional fees to City.
C. County agrees to charge a sliding-scale fee based on ability to pay to all residents of every
municipality, including City, in Dallas County. The fees charged by County for the services
listed in Section 2A of this Agreement will be used to offset the City’s Program costs for
the next Agreement Term. A schedule of fees to be charged by County is set out in Exhibit
A, attached and incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.
D. County agrees that the level of service provided in the Program for City will not be
diminished below the level of service provided to City for the same services in the prior
Agreement Term except as indicated in Section 2E of this Agreement. For purposes of
Section 2E, level of service is measured by the number of patient visits and number of
specimens examined. County will submit to City a monthly statement, which will also include
the number of patient visits and number of specimens examined during the preceding month.
E. The possibility exists of reductions in state and federal funding to the Program that could
result in curtailment of services, if not subsidized at the local level. County will notify City
in writing of any amount of reduction, and any extent to which services will be curtailed as
a result. The notice will also include an amount that City may elect to pay to maintain the
original level of services. City will notify County in writing no later than fourteen (14)
calendar days after the date of City’s receipt of the notice of funding reduction as to City's
decision to pay the requested amount or to accept the curtailment of service. If City elects to
pay the requested amount, payment is due no later than forty-five (45) calendar days after
the date of the notice of funding reduction.

MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Mindi Hurley, Director of Community Development
Date: September 26, 2023
Reference: Consider approval of the renewal of an Interlocal Agreement with Dallas County
Health and Human Services for mosquito spraying; in an amount not to exceed
$60,000.00; as budgeted; and authorizing the Mayor to sign.
2040: Sustainable Government
Introduction:
The item is presented to consider approval of the renewal of an Interlocal Agreement for mosquito
adulticiding and larvaciding between the City of Coppell and Dallas County Health and Human
Services.
Background:
The City of Coppell Environmental Health Division has an Integrated Mosquito Management
Program. The purpose of the program is to mitigate vector control diseases using effective and
environmentally sensitive methods and to reduce the risk of vector-borne diseases such as West Nile
Virus.
The City is divided into six different mosquito management areas. Our staff traps mosquitoes in each
of these areas on Thursdays and collects mosquito samples on Fridays. Samples are sent to Dallas
County Public Health laboratory for testing.
If West Nile Virus or any other viruses are detected in mosquito samples or confirmed human cases,
adulticiding is necessary and Dallas County will perform ground spraying.
Benefit to the Community:
This program protects public health by controlling mosquitoes and other vectors that spread disease.
If areas that have tested positive are not treated as quickly as possible, disease can continue to spread,
so response time with chemical treatment is an important factor in slowing down disease transmission.
Legal Review:
This item does not require legal review.

Fiscal Impact:
The fiscal impact of this agenda item is an amount not to exceed $60,000.00, as budgeted.
Recommendation:
The Community Development Department recommends approval of this item.

Introduction:
This memo is provided to consider approval to award a contract with National Sign Plazas, for the
purchase and installation of wayfinding signs in the amount of $91,246.00, as provided for in the
General Fund, Assigned Fund balance.
Background:
In 2008, the City initially purchased 60 wayfinding signs to be installed across the city. Subsequently,
in 2015, many of these signs required replacement due to fading. At that time the City moved to a
more robust enamel sign panel designed to reduce facing over time. However, these replacement sign
panels could not be modified by staff due to the enamel face, leading to difficulties in installation. In
addition, these sign panels were much heavier, leading to issues with weight distribution and support.
The current project aims to address these issues by replacing all signs with engineering grade UV
reflective sheeting. To minimize costs, the existing poles, frames, and foundations will be reused
where they are in good shape, not leaning, etc. However, in certain locations, new foundations, poles,
frames, and signs will be necessary. The scope of the project is described below:
• Total locations: 60
• New poles and signs: 18 locations
• New foundations, poles, frames, and signs: 8 locations
In August 2023, four (4) bids were received from contractors to complete this work, ranging from
$91,246.00 to $211,000.00. The lowest bid was from National Sign Plazas, and they have done similar
projects for other municipalities in the metroplex.
2
Benefit to the Community:
This project will improve the wayfinding for residents and businesses throughout Coppell.
Legal Review:
The City’s standard construction contract has been reviewed by Legal periodically, with changes
made as requested.
Fiscal Impact:
The fiscal impact of this agenda item is $91,246.00 as provided for in the General Fund, Assigned
Fund Balance.
Recommendation:
The Public Works Department recommends approval of this contract.

Wayfinding Sign Design Section One
NSP COMPANY HISTORY
Incorporated in 1997, National Sign Plazas, Inc. (NSP) was founded with the intent to help Cities and Counties manage signage within
their right-of-way and jurisdictional boundaries. Originally, our focus was in residential development and we created a wayfinding
system that allowed growing municipalities to eliminate weekend and off-site directional signage. Historically, pro-growth
communities had only two options to manage this type of signage; outlaw every sign or allow every sign. Homebuilders depend on
directional signage to bring potential homebuyers to their sales office and many pro-growth communities were eager to pursue options
that could alleviate the sign clutter without harming the ability to attract potential buyers to their area. NSP developed a wayfinding
program that provided a method where they were now able to manage the problem of unsightly homebuilder signage with a viable and
necessary solution. NSP staff designed the signage, often utilizing three or four sign types, planned the system, fabricated and installed
all signage, and worked as an intermediary between our clients (Cities & Counties) and our customers (homebuilders & developers)
ensuring that neither was negatively affected by the sign program. Like other wayfinding programs, this sign program was installed in
the right-of-way, had to conform to MUTCD and TXDOT requirements, and needed to be considerate of the existing community
dynamics. As the homebuilder economy flourished, we quickly discovered that this type of wayfinding program was in high demand
and we operated almost exclusively in this space for our first 10 years providing our unique service to government agencies all over the
Nation. Being the first company to develop this idea, we also spawned several “copycat” competitors that were drawn to the idea of
erecting signage within the public right-of-way. Their efforts were widely unsuccessful as they were focused on replicating our finished
product (sign building) and not the developmental process of establishing a wayfinding system. It is our unique approach to developing
these sign systems that made it logical for us to apply our techniques to civic, tourist-oriented and other basic wayfinding programs.
In 2007 we were in discussions with the City of Georgetown, TX, a Main Street community north of the City of Austin, to design and
develop our homebuilder directional program within their City. Concurrently, they were struggling to develop a method to draw
vehicular traffic in to their City and motivate those motorists to become pedestrians within their historic downtown…one thing led to
another and we developed a comprehensive wayfinding program for the City that included vehicular and pedestrian directionals,
gateway signage, hike/bike identifiers and homebuilder directionals all within one seamless design. The finely tuned skillset that we
had developed over the preceding 10 years provided us the knowledge to easily handle this project and the entire system was deployed
ahead of schedule and under budget. Over the next 6 years we discovered many wayfinding opportunities with our Clients and have
created unique wayfinding programs throughout the Nation.

KEY PERSONNEL
Since NSP is built as a Design, Planning and Construction firm, our staff positions and titles are quite different from a traditional design
firm. The following is a short summary of our executive staff and the skills/experiences that we bring to bear on our design
and planning projects. NSP currently employs 30 full time employees throughout our division offices ranging from graphic
design to production to government relations.
Eleanor Hayzlett OWNER/CEO
As CEO of NSP Eleanor is responsible for the long range strategic planning of our business and the development of the efforts that
govern new market penetration, Client acquisitions and the overall culture at NSP. Eleanor graduated from the University of Colorado
and has been managing the company since 2001.
Eleanor has been active in promoting wayfinding education and the adoption of this type of program throughout the Nation and works
with many State level DOT offices to create a platform that will allow for wayfinding within the State right-of-way. When she is not
drudging through the political maze she spends her time “setting the tone” at NSP and her fingerprints can be seen in our every action.
Grant Hayzlett OWNER/PRESIDENT
In addition to managing the company’s day-to-day activities Grant is the lead designer and planner for all of our wayfinding projects
throughout the Nation. Grant is the driving force behind our precedent setting Design/Plan/Build platform and he has a keen eye for
building efficiencies within a wayfinding system. Grant is a graduate of the University of Colorado and has been acting President for
NSP since 2004. He is a member of the Society for Environmental Design (SEGD) and the Entrepreneur’s Organization (EO).
Grant has travelled extensively throughout his life and has the benefit of understanding how our communication changes from country
to country, but our needs do not. He has been able to glean information from other areas and cultures and he applies that knowledge to
the design and development of our wayfinding sign programs. Grant is a unique, but efficient designer with a constant awareness of the
real-world application of the finished product(s) that he is working on.
Wayfinding Sign Design Section One
Patrick Fuller VICE PRESIDENT
As the acting Vice President, Patrick plays a key role in
the strategic planning of our wayfinding systems
throughout the Nation. Patrick has been with NSP for
over 18 years. Patrick is located in our Austin office and
he is our direct point of contact for TXDOT issues that
affect current projects and he works directly with the
local engineer to create and submit the necessary
information for TXDOT review/approval of projects
that are placed within state road-right-of-way.
Pat has been working for NSP almost as long as NSP
has been around and he is well versed in all of the details that make NSP a great company. In the past, he has worked at the
division level, deploying our finished wayfinding systems from the ground up and now, he is an integral part of our
planning process. His experiential knowledge is priceless and he brings more than a decade of wayfinding expertise to
bear when developing the planning strategy for a new wayfinding system.
JUSTIN ARELLANO OPERATIONS MANAGER
Justin is the junior member of the Texas staff, but brings a wealth of sign knowledge to the team. Justin is high-energy, enthusiastic and
organized. In the relative short time that Justin has been a part of the NSP team, he has shown his ability to manage multiple projects
simultaneously. In just under a year, Justin has been the main point of contact for completion and ongoing maintenance way-finding projects
Justin's involvement in operations includes project scheduling, client interaction and personnel management. Justin will be actively

STATEMENT OF AVAILABILITY
As a provider of every service that surrounds the development and delivery of a finished wayfinding system, careful planning and staff
availability is the key to our success. However, with such a broad footprint across the Nation, our evolution within this field has
required us to create a very stable and efficient system. The staff listed in the preceding section is just a snapshot of the “key personnel”
that will be involved in the Cedar Park project and we employ many great resources to ensure that each of our projects is handled as if it
was our only project.
NSP begins every project with a vision of complete installation in mind, not just a complete design. This allows us to predict and avoid
certain pitfalls that other design firms cannot foresee. Further, we have the ability to accelerate a production timeline while the final
actions of the planning phase are being addressed; rather than waiting for the planning phase to conclude and then locating a sign
fabricator to pick up where the designer quit.

The City of College Station is home to Texas A&M University and the project was planned to incorporate the existing on campus
directional signage. This is a multi-city, multi-level, multi-phase wayfinding project. The project was completely funded using Hotel
Occupancy Tax funds and was developed as a direct connection to the tourism efforts of the CVB. Ninety percent (90%) of sign
placement was within the TXDOT right-of-way and the CVB is preparing to develop the second phase in 2014.

Portfolio (Kerrville, TX)
The City of Kerrville is located in the Texas hill country, about one hour North of San Antonio. They are one of the largest Cities
in the area and are rich in Texas History. As part of their downtown redevelopment plan, the City invested in a new Civic Center,
public parking garages and a unique wayfinding signage system. Kerrville contracted with NSP to design and plan all aspects of
the wayfinding system as well as fabricate and install every component. The City required (5) different signage applications with
3) focusing on vehicular needs and (2) focused on pedestrian needs.
In total, the finished plan included (56) complete locations with (35) of them falling within TXDOT right-of-way. NSP not only
developed the total planning initiative for the project, but we developed, submitted and coordinated all of the DOT requirements for
the approval of the project. The Kerrville wayfinding project is scheduled for completion in late 2013.

Portfolio (City of Waxahachie)
The City of Waxahachie is a unique and historic city with much to offer their ci zens and tourist. NSP first contracted
with the City of Waxahachie in 2009 to assist the City with the rapid growth it was experiencing. Through the
implementa on of the NSP unified Homebuilder Program, NSP assisted the City with growth management. Through the
rela onship established, the City once again contracted with NSP in 2014 to implement a wayfinding system to help
residents and tourist experience all the City has to offer. NSP worked closely with the local Texas Department of
Transporta on (TXDOT) Engineer to create a design that was both visually engaging and adhered to the safety standards
that are required by TXDOT. The Waxahachie project was a Design / Build project, ensuring that the efforts put forth in
the design phase were implemented in the real world. The project consisted of over forty sign locations, with many of
them located within TXDOT right-of-way.

RFP Drafting
In April of 2012 the Cities of Bryan and College Station contracted with NSP to give their wayfinding system life. Three years prior they had
contracted with a different firm to draft an initial design and plan for a complex, multi-city system that incorporated historic downtowns,
tourist destinations and Texas A&M university. Due to a multitude of reasons, the project was left in the design phase and the Cities were not
able to realize construction of the project. The project was led by the Convention and Visitor’s Bureau and they knew that in order to achieve
installation, they would require a team that could update and revise the existing designs, phase the project, manage their budgets and work
with TXDOT for program approval. They elected to work with NSP because of our expertise in wayfinding and our track record of success.
The project required NSP staff to assess an existing design family and developed value-added engineering (VAE) for each of the 6 sign types.
Further, we had to recreate the entire sign location plan and reprogram each individual sign to meet their current goals. The first program
phase included 141 individual locations (122 of which fall in State road right-of-way) and was completed 6 months after RFP award; phase 2
is currently being drafted and will further develop the pedestrian and parking features. Currently, the entire program spans across Bryan,
College Station and Texas A&M university.
Time to completion
Phase one of this program spanned a total of 6 months from RFP award to final installation. In that time NSP staff redesigned 6 different sign
types, created a new placement and mapping plan, created a phasing schedule, and built and installed 141 individual signs. Our efforts through
the VAE process were focused on reducing fabrication costs and enhancing the ability to retrofit/alter existing signage as future needs changed.

Portfolio (Georgetown, TX)
In 2007 the City of Georgetown contracted with NSP to build a wayfinding system that was to be incorporated in to every detail
of the City’s downtown development. Entry signage, vehicular directionals, pedestrian maps, parking, public rest rooms and
general civic identifiers were all planned for and coordinated throughout the City including their Downtown Main Street. The
planning strategy included the use of TXDOT right-of-way as well private property that was owned by local businesses. These
locations required NSP to create submittal documents for DOT approval and negotiate land use permits with local citizens.
Success in this area was key to the coordinated placement of signage and our staff was able to gain access to all but one area.
We were able to work with TXDOT, our steel supplier and other vendors to determine the complete scope of the breakaway
standards, the right material to fabricate the sign and several design changes to accommodate the review committee.
When the project was complete the system totalled (54) individual locations covering large and small vehicular directionals,
pedestrian directionals, parking identifiers and hike/bike trail markers.

Portfolio (Conroe, TX)
North of the City of Houston, the City of Conroe is a gateway City that boasts more than 10 public parks and open spaces. In
2009 they finished construction on their flagship public recreation area, the Carl Barton, Jr. Memorial Park. As construction was
being finalized the City approached NSP to design and develop signage in and around the park that would include 15 baseball
fields, 10 soccer fields, a fishing pond, picnic areas and hiking trails. Additionally, they asked for the design and development of
monument stone entry signs, exterior wayfinding signage leading motorists in to the park and park facilities signage such as rules,
parking, etc. Being that the project was run through a budget that was dedicated to the park’s program and not through the City’s
general fund they were very cautious about spending and asked us to be considerate in our design and creative in our project
phasing. The focus of this project was primarily pedestrian and the need for clean, multi-lingual designs was paramount.
Additionally, NSP developed public art and landscaping features that further enhanced the pedestrian expereince within the
space.

The City of Georgetown, TX is a unique community north of the City of Austin. In 2007 we contracted with National Sign Plazas to
develop a wayfinding sign program throughout our City, including our historic downtown. The sign program consists of several
sign types that service vehicular traffic on large arterial streets, small community roads and pedestrian traffic without out
downtown.
National Sign Plazas’ quality of work and attention to the overall continuity of the signage has truly made our sign program a
success. Several proposed sign locations fell within TXDOT jurisdiction and NSP worked with our local traffic engineers to
ensure proper permitting and placement of the signage.
National Sign Plazas is a reliable and capable vendor and has the endorsement of the City of Georgetown. Please contact me directly
if you have any questions about our sign program or NSP’s involvement in our City program.
Sincerely,
Wayfinding Sign Design Section Four
Scope of WorkTXDOTConsultation / Approval
To have a successful Wayfinding signs program inTexas, approval from the Texas
Department of Transportation is a requirement for any signs that will be in TXDOT
right-of-way. National Sign Plazas (NSP) has a proven track record with TXDOT and
has gained approval for all wayfinding projects TXDOT submittals. NSP will supply
TXDOT with a manual the details every aspect of each sign location, including sign
design with, site plan, sign elevation, construction documentation, sign materials.

Design Development
Wayfinding systems are more than just a cluster of signs and directional arrows.
They are orientation devices that enable the end user to extract needed and timely
information.
Most frequently, people think about vehicular directional signs when they think
about wayfinding; however, the best designs will create a platform for additional
features to be seamlessly added as the City continues to grow and develop. Exterior
furniture, public art and interactive pedestrian features help to create an environ-
ment that is not only
helpful to users, but one that makes people comfortable and more likely to return.
A successful wayfinding design is as much a tool for economic development as it is a
tool for navigating. The development of a downtown pedestrian wayfinding system
requires different design features to engage people and, when done so successfully,
will help to
communicate valuable information to them. The NSP team has a proven track
record of successfully developing interactive and motivational pedestrian systems
that lead to more foot traffic in commercial areas, more visits tothose “hard to
find” destinations and a complete civic environment.
Finally, a successful design will become a vehicle to promote and facilitate the City’s
brand. Brand management does not happen accidentally, and the development of
that brand through an interactive wayfinding system will lead to agreater sense of
community within the City of La Grange.

ASHLEA BOYLE, MAIN STREET DIRECTOR
The City of Kerrville built a new civic center and parking facility as a means to invig-
orate their historic downtown and further economic development. The way-finding
system was developed around the goal of transitioning vehicular traffic into pedestrian
traffic and then getting pedestrians and tourists to the local businesses. National Sign
Plazas handled the original designs and the strategic plan using the parking facility
and downtown as a destination, worked with TXDOT to have the system approved for
use in the State road right-of-way, and then built and installed the entire system as a
single phase.

The Town of Paradise Valley recruited NSP to
developed brand standards for all of the sig-
nage within the Town. During the project, the
Town approached NSP to collaborate on the
redevelopment of their main traffic corridors.
These “Visually Iconic Corridors” were being
transformed from dedicated vehicular passage,
to routes that create space for walking, cycling
and golf cart passage. Each corridor included
three different nodes that were designed as dec-
orative enhancements to the routes.
NSP staff developed a concept for the nodes
that included planned, educational space for
passersby to learn about the nature and history
of Paradise Valley. As a central tourist destina-
tion for the Phoenix area, these corridors will
serve as a staging platform for pedestrians and
cyclists to explore all of the activities Paradise
Valley has to offer. The first Visually Iconic Corri-
dor is currently under construction with plans for
future corridors commencing after completion.

From: Matia Messemer, Director of Employee Experience
Date: September 26, 2023
Reference: Consider approval of renewal for fully insured organ transplant coverage with Tokio

2040: Sustainable Government
Introduction:
This item is presented to consider a proposal for Organ transplant coverage from Tokio Marine –
HCC in the amount of $73,732.00. This proposal is for a fully insured policy to cover claims for
organ transplants.
Background:
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. There is no change in
rates from the previous fiscal year.
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, and the fund would be at great risk of potentially one
or more catastrophic claims.

This item is presented for approval of the contract for the procurement of Life, Accidental Death and
Dismemberment (AD&D), Short Term Disability and Long Term Disability (LTD) with Mutual of
Omaha in the amount of $263,838.00.
Background:
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 post-
COVID decreases in life expectancy and an overall trend the industry is experiencing, while the
increases on the LTD and STD coverages are a result of loss ratios near 100%, which is well above
the 75% actuarial target loss ratio.

MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Matia Messemer, Director of Employee Experience
Date: September 26, 2023
Reference: Consider approval of contract addendum for the renewal for third party claims
administration services with UMR, Inc. in the amount of $197,932.20 as budgeted in
FY 23-24; and authorizing the City Manager to sign any necessary documents.
2040: Sustainable Government
Introduction:
This item is presented for approval of a contract addendum for the renewal for third party claims
administration services with UMR, Inc. in the amount of $197,932.20.
Background:
This renewal of the existing contract with United Medical Resources (UMR) for third party
administrative services will be the 17th year for the City of Coppell to retain UMR to administer our
Medical and Prescription Drug (Rx) plan. The City has been served well by the discounts in claims
costs afforded by our relationship with UMR and access to their Preferred Provider Organization
(PPO) network. The renewal will be completed by amending the existing Administrative Services
Agreement.
The estimated annual administrative fees for this contract year with UMR are $45.19 per employee
per month based on 365 covered employees which equals a 0% 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.
Benefit to the Community:
Approval of this item will ensure that the employees who serve the residents and businesses continue
to receive health insurance coverage.

Legal Review:
This renewal proposal will be an addendum to the main agreement.
Fiscal Impact:
The fiscal impact of this agenda item is $45.19 per employee per month based on 365 covered
employees, which is an estimated $197,932.20 for the 2023-2024 fiscal year, funded through the Self-
funded Health fund.
Recommendation:
City staff recommends City Council approve the UMR renewal proposal as outlined above.

V. Scope of Services – Contract Addendum
Our goal is to become City of Coppell’s most trusted outside advisor. 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 integrat ed 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 clien t
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,
2
data is transformed into information that enables our teams to develop cost projections,
utilization analysis and benchmarking with pee rs 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.
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 p icked 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 p roductivity.
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.
3
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:
RFP Action Plan
Step 1
Information Gathering: This phase will include obtaining any missing or outdated
information, acquiring historical claims and employee census data, and reviewing
current Summary Plan Des criptions.
Step 2
Develop RFP Specifications: This phase will include drafting of the actual RFP
document and defining desired vendor service, network and pricing criteria. We will
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.
Step 3
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
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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
4
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 to develop a strategy for clinical wellness and dis ease
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 interventi on 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.
5
Industry Trends and Emerging 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 emer ging 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 hav e 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
6
additional level of administration assistance. Clients who u tilize 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 Management – 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 ens ure 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 gua rantees during the
renewal/RFP process, and improve vendor performance.
Benchmarking – 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 Artemis which include granular
benchmarking information at detailed levels. In addition, we have the largest Texas Municipal
Benchmark service (over 130 plans) that we sponsor annually for our clients. We will also
support the City 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 Projections - 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
7
assumptions, legislative impacts and overall trend factors are all variables within the model.
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 Reporting 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 Monthly Financial
Summary Report (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 monthly basis 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 bring life to vendor data, integrating
benchmarking and industry studies, 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 integrated vendor data, 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 the clinical utilization reports 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 specifi c
program strategies. Through the Cost Driver, our goal is to identify the plan strategies that
8
will add the greatest value to your benefit program and to your employees.
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 desi gn
performance and to benchmark your efficiency rate compared to the industry. 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 Modeling – assisting with establishing
employee contributions to meet firm objectives.
We utilize a proprietary, interactive budget modeling tool referenced 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 measure complete budget
impact 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 i n 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 Requirements – 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 requ ire
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.
9
Project 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.
VI. Communication Support
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 obta in
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.
10
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
of it) can make or break the return on investment for these programs. One of our chall enges
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.
11
VII. Health Care Reform and Compliance Support
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 me mbers represented
from our Compliance, Actuarial, Communications, and Clinical support groups.
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 cont inue to
expand and be updated.
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 docum ents.
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 l egislative councils.
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.
12
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 Benefits Alert one 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 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. We disseminate this information by e-mailing regular,
timely, compliance updates 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 a ddressing 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
• Tips to Help You Choose
• Preparing for 2020
13
IX. Compensation
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
14
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 $1.50 to $2.50 Per Employee Per Month (varies by vendor)
Wondr Health Typically $500 to $600 Per Participant
Alight $5.00 Per Employee Per Month
Please let us know if you have any questions.

MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Matia Messemer, Director of Employee Experience
Date: September 26, 2023
Reference: Consider approval of a contract for Medical Stop Loss Insurance to Liberty Mutual
Insurance Company through SA Benefit Services, in the amount of $428,173.20, as
budgeted in FY 23-24; and authorizing the City Manager to sign any necessary
documents.
2040: Sustainable Government
Introduction:
This item is presented to consider approval of a contract for Medical Stop Loss Insurance to Liberty
Mutual Insurance Company through SA Benefit Services, in the amount of $428,173.20.
Background:
The City’s current health plan expenses performed fairly 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 and 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 renewal for medical stop loss insurance is 6.83% above current fixed fees, and 12.52% above
current maximum liability, which is below the market average increase of 15% to 20%. The expected
annual premium for this coverage is $428,173.20 based on current headcount. The City opted to
pursue renewal at the same stop loss insurance levels as the current year. The incremental premium
savings of changing the level would not be worth the additional claims cost risk. The renewal does
include one laser in the amount of $400,000 for the plan year 2023-2024.
The City’s medical plan is a 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
2
benefits, fully insured taxes, and experience improved cash flow which saves the plan in costs vs.
being fully insured.
Benefit to the Community:
Approval of this item minimizes the risk of catastrophic claim costs to the Medical Self-Insured Fund.
Legal Review:

Fiscal Impact:

Health Fund.
Recommendation:

MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Jerod Anderson, Director of Enterprise Solutions
Date: September 26, 2023
Reference: Consider approval to contract with Red River via DIR contract #DIR TSO-4167, for
the purchase of switch gear, in the amount of $58,122.20 as budgeted; and authorizing
the City Manager to sign any necessary documents.
2040: Apply “Smart City” Approach to Resource Management
Introduction:
Consider approval to contract with Red River to purchase switch gear in the amount of $58,122.20.
Background:
The City of Coppell refreshes network switch gear on a rotational basis to keep the technology current
and accommodate future City needs. With the current inventory of switch gear coming up on the
end-of-life, and end-of-support we must refresh to maintain reliability and security. This item is to
replace current switch gear to be purchased from Red River from contract number DIR-TSO-4167.
The City of Coppell has a contract with Red River to maintain network equipment and provide support
services as its managed service provider. The City of Coppell refreshes its network switches and
hardware when they are determined to be out of support from the vendor. This keeps the current
infrastructure under a current support structure to receive the latest patches and security updates to
ensure network reliability and security. This agenda item is to replace the current data center fabric
switches for $58,122.20.
Benefit to the Community:
Keeping the Coppell network secure and safe and protecting the City’s data and assets are crucial in
today’s landscape. Staying up to date on the latest security patches is vital to protecting the City of
Coppell network.
Legal Review:
The Procurement Division has reviewed the documents and determined that this is an appropriate
method of contracting with the vendor.

MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Danny Barton, Chief of Police
Date: September 26, 2023
Reference: Consider approval of an Interlocal Agreement between the Denton County District
Attorney’s Office and the City of Coppell Police Department, governing asset
forfeiture distribution; and authorizing the Mayor to sign.
2040: Sustainable Government
Introduction:
This Interlocal Agreement governs how assets and/or personal property seized and forfeited under
Chapter 59 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure and Article 18.18 of the Texas Code of Criminal
Procedure will be disbursed between the Denton County District Attorney’s Office and the Coppell
Police Department. The Coppell Police Department may seize certain assets and/or personal property
that is used or obtained in the commission of certain crime(s) that were investigated by the Coppell
Police Department in Denton County.
Background:
Chapter 59 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure requires an Interlocal Agreement between the
District Attorney’s Office and the Police Department to allow seized and forfeited assets and/or
personal property to be shared. The proposed Interlocal Agreement does not change the disbursement
shares for seized assets, but clarifies how certain assets, including stocks, bonds, jewelry,
cryptocurrency, etc., will be disbursed. The proceeds from seizures are kept in a separate fund that
can only be used by the Coppell Police Department for expenses that include training, equipment,
investigative costs, and crime prevention.
Benefit to the Community:
The use of these funds for the allowable activities leads to a safer community.
Legal Review:
The Interlocal Agreement has been reviewed by the City Attorney.
Fiscal Impact:
None

Recommendation:
The Coppell Police Department recommends approval of this Interlocal Agreement.
