the right to adiourn into Executive Session at any time during the work session or the

City Attorney on any item posted on the agenda.
A. Review Impact Fee parameters through a joint work session with Impact Fee Committee
(P&Z)
City Manager Bob Hart stated that Council approved an agreement with Freese and Nichols to
perform an impact fee study for the City. Bob added that the last study was done in 2006;
therefore, a Committee was formed to review and make recommendations for city impact fees.
Bob introduced Eddie Haas, from Freese and Nichols who will present an overview of the basics
of the impact fee study and answer question.
Mr. Haas stated that "Impact Fee 101" will cover why we are doing the study; the technical
aspects; policy decisions; and the schedule of the process. He informed the group that by law,
chapter 395 from the local government code prescribes the process in which all impact fees are
implemented and updated. The key elements include land use assumptions; capital
improvement plans; resulting cost; collection rates; benchmarking; and recommendations to
Council.
Impact Fee Overview handouts were provided; Freese and Nichols representatives Eddie Haas
and Jessica Brown reviewed the material with the group and answered questions.
B. Discuss the need to consider at a future meeting regarding an ordinance to regulate payday
and auto title lenders
City Manager Bob Hart stated that pay day lenders were discussed when TownCenter was
being built; however, no action was taken at that time. Bob added that trends are now starting to
emerge concerning pay day lending ordinances and he would like to bring it forward for
discussion. Bob turned the topic over to City Attorney, Wayne Olson.
Wayne Olson provided a summary stating that cities are adopting regulations to try to impact
405 Municipal Drive, Kennedale, TX 76060 1 Telephone: 817-985-2100 1 Fax: 817-478-7169
how these businesses do business; and are adopting regulations for land use, to limit where
they can locate within the cities. He informed the Council that the Texas Municipal League
(TML) has a model ordinance on their website which they recommend cities follow; however,
he warned Council that many of these ordinances are being challenged. Wayne concluded that
if the City of Kennedale wishes to pursue this issue, he will be happy to work with them to adopt
regulations.
There was lengthy discussion on the topic, with a census that the city would treat this as a land
use issue rather than a consumer issue.

The North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) has approximately $1.3 million in
reimbursable grant funds available for the Materials Management 2016-2017 Call for Projects. This Call
for Projects will fund a variety of municipal solid waste projects for4 local governments in the NCTCOG

state fees on MSW disposed of at landfills.
City staff has reviewed the requirements of the grant and request approval from City Council to pursue
this funding for the purchase of a Street Sweeper which will assistance with debris along Dick Price Road.
The governing body of the project applicant must approve a resolution authorizing the Project application

The Street Sweeper is projected to cost$135,000 of which the city would provide a 50% funding match of
$67,500.00. The equipment purchase would be made during the current fiscal year and then 50%
reimbursed from the grant.
