SUBJECT Consider appointment of a Mayor ORIGINATED BY Leslie E. Galloway, Temporary Interim City Manager SUMMARY As the Council is aware, Mayor Brian Johnson submitted a letter of resignation on Friday, July 2, 2021. According to Texas Election Code: Section 201.023 RESIGNATION. If an officer submits a resignation, whether to be effective immediately or at a future date, a vacancy occurs on the date the resignation is accepted by the appropriate authority or on the eighth day after the date of its receipt by the authority, whichever is earlier. Because it has been more than eight days since receipt of the letter, the resignation is now effective and no formal acceptance nor any action is required by the Council before appointing someone to fill the vacancy. Kennedale's current Home Rule Charter states: Section 3.06 Vacancies and Forfeiture of Office (a) Vacancies. The office of a Council member or Mayor shall become vacant upon the death, resignation, forfeiture of office, or removal from office in any manner authorized by law or by this Charter. (1) Reserved. (2) Vacancies on the City Council for offices with two year terms shall be filled as provided in this subsection. The City Council may call a special election or by a majority vote of all remaining Council Members appoint a qualified person to fill the vacancy. Staff would like to note that the original Charter had the following language: Section 3.06 Vacancies and Forfeiture of Office (a) Vacancies. The office of a Council member or Mayor shall become vacant upon the death, resignation, forfeiture of office, or removal from office in any manner authorized by law or by this Charter. (1) If a vacancy occurs in the office of the Mayor it shall be filled by the Mayor Pro Tern. Any other vacancy on the City Council, including a position if vacated by the Mayor Pro Tern, shall be filled by appointment by a majority vote of all of the remaining City Councilmembers; however, (2) If more than thirteen (13) months remain on the term of a vacant Council position, the remaining term of office shall be filled at the regular election held in May; however, (3) If more than sixteen (16) months remain on the terms of two or more Council positi~ns, the remaining terms of office shall be filled through a special election. (4) Any vacancy in a Council position with an unexpired term of less than three (3) months shall not be filled before the next regular election, unless occupancy of that office is necessary to constitute a quorum. In 2016, several proposed Charter amendments appeared on the ballot, including a proposition that would have changed Council terms from two to three years. Although that item did not pass, another amendment to section 3.06 referenced those three-year terms. In a subsequent Charter review, the committee proposed that the 3.06 language be cleaned up (minutes attached) so that the asterisk explanation within the Charter would no longer be necessary. The resulting amendment that was proposed to voters was to strike the entirety of 3.06(a)(1), which contained the provision for Mayor Pro Tem to become Mayor in the case of a vacancy in that office. That line in the Charter is now blank ("Reserved."). Attached are the three different versions of this section of the Charter. Of course the current version, approved by voters, is the governing document. Staff did, however, want to take this opportunity to point out that the resulting edit to the Charter does not seem to reflect the intent of the committee. Therefore, this may be a section that Council would want to specifically ask that a future Charter Review Committee closely consider.

Motion passed Unanimously. B.Continue identifying and discussing the committee's desired Charter topics for further discussion and/or research There was no discussion at this time. C.City Council Recommendations Mayor Johnson facilitated a discussion during which the Committee revisited all items previously discussed and came to a consensus on each to be recommended to Council: Regarding §6.05: Indebtedness, the Committee would recommend the deletion of all wording except the first sentence and item (c). Regarding Article XI: Initiative, Referendum, and Recall (Petitions), the Committee would recommend increasing the signature requirements for all petitions to "at least twenty five (25) thirty (30) percent of the votes cast in the last regular municipal election, but not less than tv.io hundred and fifty (250) five hundred (500) signatures"; and additional wording in §11.03 (Recall) that would allow for a person subject to a recall petition to request (but not be required to have) a Public Hearing that would occur before the City Council acts on the petition. Following a comprehensive discussion, these recommendations were the consensus of the Committee. However, two members -Vice Chair Bob Gruenhagen and Gail Uranga -remain in favor of additional changes to this section. Regarding §3.06(a)(1 ): Council Appointments (to fill a vacancy), the Committee would not recommend holding a Special Election solely for this purpose, but if there were to be 405 Municipal Drive, Kennedale, TX 76060 I Telephone: 817 -985-2100 I Fax: 817-4 78-7169 other propositions, the Committee would suggest also offering one that would serve to clean up' the need for an asterisk explanation, which is the result of the May 7, 2016 charter election when Proposition No. 1 (including provisions for addressing a vacancy in a three - year term) passed, but Proposition No. 4 (changing terms from two to three years) failed. The following items were considered, but following comprehensive discussion, the consensus of the Committee was to recommend no change to the current Charter provisions regarding: Economic Development Corporation (EDC) 4.01(a): Single Member Districts 4.01(b): Term Limits and Length of Terms 5.07: Removal of City Secretary by City Council action 3.05: Former Council Members holding positions in City 3.08(d): Council Quorum Requirements 3.03: Mayor's Veto Power 5.0: Residency Requirements for City Manager 3.07: Investigations; §3.06: Vacancies and Forfeiture of Office 3.06(b)(4): Forfeiture due to Absence; Attendance Requirements; and Excused vs. Unexcused Absences Second Reading of Ordinances 3.04(c): Definition of Term: `City Officers' 3.04(d) and §5.04(g): Potential Conflict of Wording Separately, the Committee would respectfully recommend to the City Council consideration of policies that would call for a second reading of certain categories of Ordinances; and require notifying residents earlier than one month prior to and /or via additional methods than those required by State law before the issuance of a Certificate of Obligation. D. Discuss date and time of upcoming meetings The Committee set their next meeting for Wednesday, January 23, at 6:30 p.m. and requested that City Attorney Betsy Elam prepare ballot language for the Committee's consideration at that time.

SUBJECT Discussion regarding potential issuance of Certificates of Obligations (CO) in the amount of $6 million and related projects ORIGINATED BY Lakeita Sutton, Director of Finance and Information Technology SUMMARY As the Council is aware, an item to consider a Resolution of Intent related to this potential $6m CO issuance appeared on the last regular agenda, but was not heard. Since, staff has provided an informal staff report (attached) as well as some supporting documents. Although our financial advisor is not able to attend this meeting, staff will be available to answer questions from the Council regarding this item. RECOMMENDATION At this time, staff would request Council direction regarding the placement (or omission) of this item on the agenda for the regular meeting scheduled for next Tuesday, June 20, 2021. If the item is placed on the agenda, staff will coordinate with Andrew Friedman of SAMCO to hopefully be in attendance. He has another Council meeting already scheduled for that evening but has indicated that, if the item is near the end of our agenda, he could likely join us in person for discussion and to answer questions. Of note: On page 6 of the ISR (in the second to last paragraph), staff incorrectly referred to Mr. Andrew Friedman of SAMCO as "Bond Counsel" rather than the City's Financial Advisor.

The proposed CO issuances are $6m in 2021 and $8m in 2024. During past meetings, staff presented a prioritized five-year capital project list with $90m in identified needs. Though a “Notice of Intent to Sell” was on your June agenda, the item was not heard. Because three current Councilmembers were not yet elected when some of the preliminary discussions and decisions affecting this proposed debt issuance were made, the purpose of this staff report is to provide the current Council with a summary of the updated timing of the proposed sale as well as potential consequences if this issuance does not occur during FY2021. Typically, the CO process (from publication of the intent to closing) takes ~60 days. If Council ultimately intends to issue the $6m CO, staff recommends doing so during the current fiscal year. This requires no change in the I&S portion of the tax rate and would prevent further delay of the purchase of a fire engine. If the $6m CO is not issued prior to adoption of the tax rate, any similar issuance would be delayed until at least January. By not issuing the COs, the I&S portion of the tax rate would fall by about $0.036399. If the Council desires to proceed with the CO within the current fiscal year (with that debt to be included with the 2021 tax rate calculation), it is still possible, but the timeline would be tight. ISR #2021-07-06 PAGE 2 CITY OF KENNEDALE | www.cityofkennedale.com Below is a potential timeline for Council’s further consideration of this debt issuance: Tuesday, July 13 Work Session discussion regarding these potential COs Tuesday, July 20 Resolution of “Notice of Intent to Sell” on Council’s regular meeting agenda Friday, July 23 If Resolution adopted by the Council: First publication of Notice of Intent to Sell (Minimum of 46 days prior to the date the CO Ordinance is scheduled to be approved) Friday, July 30 Second newspaper publication of Notice of Intent to Sell Tuesday, August 17 Regular Council Meeting (Work Session discussion, if desired) Tuesday, September 7 Estimated first possible date for consideration of CO Ordinance Tuesday, September 21 Regular Council Meeting (FY2022 budget and 2021 tax rate adoption expected) Thursday, September 30 Last possible day for FY2022 budget and 2021 tax rate adoption Staff wants to ensure that the current Council is aware of the existing prior commitments related to this debt issuance as well as the potential implications of deciding for or against issuance. Further Delay of Priority Capital Street Projects In March of 2020, the previous Council directed staff to move forward with securing the $14m in COs. Since, the following street projects were prioritized by staff and affirmed by Council: ▪ Beacon Hill Drainage Improvements ▪ Valley Lane (photo at right) >> ▪ Peggy Lane ▪ Trent Street Construction ▪ Linda Road Infrastructure Improvements ▪ Little Road Extension from Kennedale Parkway to New Hope Road ▪ Winding Creek Erosion ▪ New Hope Road right-of-way (ROW) and Reconstruction of Two Lanes ▪ Shade Structures Throughout the Park System ▪ Kennedale Sublett Realignment at Kennedale Parkway ▪ Little Road Extension from Kennedale Parkway to New Hope Road ISR #2021-07-06 PAGE 3 CITY OF KENNEDALE | www.cityofkennedale.com During the March 16 meeting, Council also directed staff to submit the following projects to the Tarrant County Transportation Bond Program for considerationi: Little School Road Extension $ 13,884,000 Kennedale Sublett Realignment 9,634,608 Collett Sublett Road 2,244,880 Valley Lane Erosion (photo at right) >> 1,853,230 TOTAL $ 27,616,718 The City would pay for any accepted project(s) up front and then be reimbursed afterwards. The City currently has less than $2m available for Capital Street Projects (of which more than $1m is earmarked). If the City does not move forward with the $6m CO (followed by the $8m in 2024), the application becomes annulled due to lack of funding. General Fund Balance Draw Down of $254,040 for Ambulance Purchase During Council meetings in February, March, and April of 2021, Council discussed and approved the purchase of an ambulance to be funded by the $6m CO. Staff has ordered the ambulance. If the CO is not issued, the General Fund balance will be drawn down by $254,040. Loss of ~ $165,000 in Secured Grant Funding Towards a Fire Engine As the Council is aware, the City’s vehicle replacement policy calls for engines to be in frontline service for 10 years, followed by 10 years in reserve. Our frontline engine is now 11 years old. During their October 20, 2020 meeting, the Council discussed funding a fire engine with the $6m CO issuance (with this portion of the debt structured to reflect the ten-year service life of the apparatus). Following the February 23 meeting, it was the consensus of the Council to prioritize the purchase of both a fire engine and an ambulance in the CO issuance tentatively scheduled for August 2021 and staff moved forward with preliminary work to order the items. Chief Brown applied for (and was notified in April that the City had received) a grant through the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) that would reimburse up to 25% (of eligible costs) of the purchase price of a new fire truck. Chief Brown and I attended a grant kick- ISR #2021-07-06 PAGE 4 CITY OF KENNEDALE | www.cityofkennedale.com off meeting in April and the City Attorney is currently reviewing a contract for acceptance of this grant funding. The acceptance document has not yet been signed as staff is currently unable to guarantee that local funding will be available for this purchase. If the $6m CO is not issued in FY2021, it is expected that this grant award (of ~$165,000) will be forfeited. It is also possible that future grant applications to NCTCOG will not be viewed as favorably. And, of course, the replacement of the fire engine will be further delayed. Tax Rate Implications As mentioned, the “Notice of Intent to Sell” appeared on the June 15 agenda but was not heard. Therefore, the scheduling of the sale has been affected. Staff would not typically approach the Council with a debt issuance with such tight timing. If the Council does decide to proceed with the issuance, there are considerations and potential issues. First, the debt must be issued prior to the City setting the tax rate. Again, it typically takes about 60 days from the publication date to closing of the sale for this type of debt. The dates on the second page of this report show the small margin of error that this timing allows. If the Council does choose to proceed with the issuance of the proposed $6m in COs for inclusion in the 2021 tax rate calculation, staff can work with the Bond Counsel to provide a payment schedule of the debt prior to the actual sale. However, the formal setting of the tax rate would have to be done after the sale of the bonds. Although it would be tight timeline, we may still have the option of securing this $6m in debt prior to setting our 2021 tax rate. ISR #2021-07-06 PAGE 5 CITY OF KENNEDALE | www.cityofkennedale.com Staff is aware that the Council is committed to being good financial stewards for the community and, therefore, did not want to allow the potential loss of, in particular, this grant money without full explanation. However, staff also understands that the Council has many considerations when deciding upon an item as complicated and nuanced as debt issuance and property taxes. The City’s current I&S rate is $0.191399. Acquiring the $6m in COs during this current fiscal year would keep that portion of the rate flat, but only if it is acquired prior to setting the tax rate (which must occur no later than September 30 but would be expected to happen during the September 21 regular meeting). Not acquiring the $6m would, instead, cause the I&S rate to drop from $0.191399 to approximately $0.155000 (a decrease of $0.036399). If the Council indicates an intent to proceed (by the passing of a “Resolution of Intent to Sell” during the July 20 meeting), all budget discussions and planning will be based on a tax rate including the new $6m debt. Further, the City’s tax rate notices will also be based on the assumed issuance. If staff plans for this debt in the 2021 tax rate calculation (which is included in those public notices) and the debt is not actually issued, the public tax rate notices will be annulled. Of course, if Council does not pass the “Resolution of Intent to Sell” during the July 20 regular meeting, upcoming budget development and discussions will be based on the assumption that this debt will not be issued. Staff Recommendation Again, the purpose of this report is to ensure that the Council is aware of the projects that are dependent upon this CO issuance as well as the potential implications of issuing this debt on such a tight timeline or choosing not to issue the debt during this fiscal year. Though staff is aware that three of the current Councilmembers were not yet elected to the Council at the time many of the above outlined decisions were made, staff would respectfully recommend that the current Council consider taking the necessary steps, as planned, to secure the $6m CO debt during the current fiscal year. Again, this issuance would result in no change to the I&S portion of the tax rate, would allow for the critical purchase of a new fire engine (while reducing the City’s liability by an estimated $165,000 in already-secured grant funding), and ISR #2021-07-06 PAGE 6 CITY OF KENNEDALE | www.cityofkennedale.com would prevent the new ambulance (already under contract) from necessitating a $254,040 drawdown of the General Fund reserves. Further, it could provide the necessary funding to take advantage of a potential 50% Tarrant County match on those programs submitted to the bond program, including the critical erosion stabilization needed on Valley Laneii. Of course, the projects would have to be selected for participation and Tarrant County voters would have to vote to approve the bond package. Though staff does recommend securing the $6m debt prior to setting the 2021 tax rate, the Council should only move forward (by passing the “Resolution of Intent to Sell” on July 20) if there is a strong consensus to also adopt the Ordinance in September necessary to actually secure the $6m CO. Planning to secure the debt and not following through would, as mentioned, null the City’s tax rate noticing and budget discussions during the coming months. Bond Counsel is not available during special meeting on July 13, but a discussion item will appear on that agenda and staff will be available to answer questions from the Council. Staff is currently coordinating with Bond Counsel regarding attendance (either in-person or, perhaps, virtually) for the regular meeting on July 20, if Council indicates a desire to move forward with this issuance during the current fiscal year. We will, of course, keep you informed of any updates regarding this report and welcome Council’s questions both before and during these upcoming meetings. SHOULD YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS REPORT, PLEASE CONTACT FINANCE DIRECTOR LAKEITA SUTTON AT 817-985-2110 OR EMAIL LSUTTON@CITYOFKENNEDALE.COM. iAs expected by Mayor Pro Tem Rhodes, the project committee is now requesting a priority ranking for submitted projects. An item for discussion of this ranking is expected to appear on the Council’s July 13 agenda (before the next committee meeting on July 15). Staff informed the County that (regarding shovel-ready status) that Collett Sublett is ready to break ground; that Valley Lane could be ready soon; but that plans nor engineering exist for the Kennedale Sublett realignment nor the extension of Little. Therefore, these more costly projects (assuming inclusion in the bond program and local funding availability) could not break ground before 2024 – at the absolute earliest. ii At the recommendations of Shield – the City’s engineering firm – staff recently submitted an “Intent to Apply” form to the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) for Valley Lane funding. This does not commit City funding for this project but does allow Valley to remain in the consideration process for a program that could serve as an alternative – or even an additional – 50% match. Though it can in no way be expected to happen, if the City were fortunate enough for Valley to qualify for funding both via the Tarrant County Transportation Bond Program and the TWDB Flood Infrastructure Fund, the project could be completed at minimal cost to the City. We are currently ranked sixth in the TWDB consideration process.

SUBJECT Discuss and establish a priority ranking of those projects submitted for consideration for inclusion in the November 2021 Tarrant County Transportation Bond Package ORIGINATED BY Leslie E. Galloway, Temporary Interim City Manager SUMMARY Staff discussed the Tarrant County Transportation Bond Committee's selection process with Chris Bosco on Monday, June 28. As shovel-readiness is a consideration, staff provided input that Collett Sublett was fully designed and ready to break ground, that Valley Lane had engineering design and specifications, and that the extension of Little Road and the realignment of Sublett did not have any planning or engineering completed. The next ranking committee meeting is scheduled for July 15, and there is a request that the Council provide to them a priority ranking of these four submitted projects. The County Commissioners Court is expected to officially rank projects (based on this committee's recommendations) on July 27. The official project list is expected to be presented and the related election called by the County at the Commissioners meeting on August 3. There are three divisions of funding: the open call for projects (which is the portion for which these projects have been submitted for consideration), discretionary funds allocated by Commissioners, and strategic partnership funds. Applications are not required for discretionary funding requests. If Council would like for staff to compose a letter to request funding for any of these projects directly from Commissioner Devan Allen, we will be glad to do so. RECOMMENDATION At this time, staff respectfully requests discussion by the Council and direction as to the ranking of these projects that should be reported to the committee. Their next meeting is expected to be Thursday, June 15. The ranking will be provided via email. No formal action nor document is required.

The Program will include the following three main funding categories: A.Call for Projects (Fund Al/ocation: up to $200 million) This funding category is designed to leverage resources through a Call for Projects with municipalities to maximize the cost-effectiveness of each bond funded project. The Tarrant County Transportation Services Department ("Transportation Services") will notify all municipalities in Tarrant County of the proposed Program and will request project submittals for review and evaluation in the Call for Projects. Other public agencies may submit projects for consideration but must include a letter of support from the municipality where the project is located. Private entities may not submit projects; however, private entities are encouraged to participate in the funding of a bond project by partnering with a public agency. Projects in this category will require a local funding match of at least fifty percent (50%) of the total project cost identified in the municipality's project submittal. Upon voter approval of the Program, the specific dollar amount obligated to each project in this category will remain unchanged; cost overruns will not be funded in this category. However, if a project's final cost is less than the amount obligated in the Program, the County will only fund up to fifty percent (50%) of the lead agency's actual costs. B.Discretionary (Fu11dAl/ocatio11: up to $75 millio11) This funding category will allocate $15 million to each of the five Commissioners Court members for any tr��pru:tation:rela ed roject as described in this policy. A funding match from a public agency is desired, but is not required for projects in this category. At the discretion of the respective Commissioners Court member in whose district the project is located, and with full Commissioners Court approval, funds in this category may also be allocated to projects programmed in the <?ther two funding categories identified in this policy. C.Countywide Initiatives and Partnerships (F111u/Allocatio11: up to $125 million) This funding category will reserve funding for strategic projects identified by the Commissioners Court aimed at providing multi-jurisdictional benefits and enhancing financial leveraging opportunities. The following initiatives or partnership projects are eligible for funding: •Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) rural arterial expansions and other "on-system" improvement projects;•National Highway System (NHS) "off-system" pavement and bridge projects that support the attainment of federal performance measure targets identified by TxDOT and the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG);•Partnership projects'to leverage funding for federal discretionary grant applications submitted by municipalities, TxDOT, and NCTCOG;•Specific transportation projects within priority corridors (e.g. West Tarrant ransportation Initiative) earmarked by the Commissioners Court;•Grade separations at arterial intersections or at railroad crossings associated with roadway improvement projects;•County initiatives (e.g. drainage improvements impacting roadways, shoulder improvements) aimed at improving mobility o.r safety on the roadway system;•Bicycle/pedestrian projects that provide safe routes to schools, address gaps in the regional bicycle/trail network, or promote connectivity to other modes of travel; 2 • Shield Engineering Group, PLLC 1600 W. 7th Street, Suite 200, Fort Worth, Texas 76102 Phone: 817.810.0696 | www.segpllc.com Thursday, April 15, 2021 G.K. Maenius Tarrant County Administrator 100 E. Weatherford Fort Worth, TX 76196 Mr. Maenius: Sustained growth and development are overwhelming key areas of the City of Kennedale’s roadway infrastruc- ture. System expansion and targeted mitigation, repair, and replacement are imperative to address increasing demand and wear on aging infrastructure. Upon recommendation by staff, the Kennedale City Council has identi- fied the following project for consideration of inclusion in the Tarrant County 2021 Transportation Bond Program: The reconstruction and widening of Collett Sublett Road is a ‘shovel ready’ project designed to increase capacity, improve aging infrastructure, and further connect the community. The proposal includes replacing a 14- foot asphalt and bar ditch roadway with a 29-foot concrete roadway, replacing and enlarging adjacent asbestos water line and clay sewer line, relocation of the stormwater infrastructure underground, and downstream ditch improvements for increased stormwater system capacity. Kennedale’s Comprehensive Plan prioritizes connected neighborhoods. These improvements will provide a safe pedestrian and vehicular connection between the Magno- lia Hills and Oliver Acres neighborhoods. This project is included in the City’s Master Thoroughfare Plan and is designed to further connect the city, improve traffic flow, and reduce congestion. I would now, therefore, respectfully request your consideration of including the reconstruction and widening of Collett Sublett Road (at a preliminary estimated project cost of $2,244,880, updated from the Council resolution) in the Tarrant County 2021 Transportation Bond Program.

The city has experienced a steady growth in housing starts over the last three years and continues to attract more de- velopment, increasing property values and property tax income. The city’s overall debt capacity has been very well managed over the years, using a disciplined and defined approach to financing capital needs. Debt service burden is kept at acceptable levels to allow for instances in which capital improvements cannot be financed from current revenues. Kennedale’s current debt capacity allows Certificates of Obligation (C/O’s) which will be used towards funding this project. The city anticipates $4,800,000 in C/O’s in August of 2021, and an ad- ditional $8,000,000 in C/O’s in 2024. Constituents have expressed considerable interest in city infrastructure needs, to the extent of and having the option to vote in favor of them in a local bond election. Accordingly, General Obligation Bonds up to $15,000,000 from a Kennedale local bond election have been discussed among the governing body, as an option to provide supplemental funding for this project. Those discussions commenced in 2020, and an election could occur as early as November 2021. The electorate has consistently, over the years supported bond elections and debt issuances for infrastructure needs. Finally, should this project require any water sewer capital, up to $5,000,000 in revenue bonds are available without an increase in city water sewer rates.

LEASE$367,218.45 FUNDING PLAN 7 CITY OF KENNEDALE, COLLETT SUBLETT ROAD, KENNEDALE, TX Overview The Collett-Sublett Infrastructure Improvements project is a “shovel-ready” roadway project located in Kennedale, Texas. The primary goals for this project are to increase mobility and improve connectivity for the citizens of Kennedale, while also enhancing the safety for drivers and pedestrians by reducing vehicle congestion in the area. By upgrading the utilities, this project will immediately benefit the citizens of Kennedale as well as allow for future development. Scope The Collett-Sublett project will consist of upgrading approximately 1,560LF of existing 14’ asphalt and borrow ditch road to a full 29’ section roadway with sidewalks, curbing and gutters. Half of this full section road is already built, however it is not completed and is connecting to an old 14’ section which does not match the City of Kennedale’s Master Throughfare Plan. Also included in this project is the replacement of approximately 1,365LF water main and 18 residential service lines. The existing water main was constructed with asbestos concrete pipe which needs to be replaced to prevent harmful chemicals from entering the water supply. These plans call for increasing the size of the main asbestos concrete line and replacing it with PVC material, which is much safer and will last longer. Additionally, the plans call for the replacement of approximately 1,312LF of sanitary sewer lines and 16 residential services. The sanitary sewer replacement will address numerous breaks and leaks that have been identified in the existing system. Finally, this project calls for the addition of 847LF of storm drainpipe, seven storm drain inlets and two new channels in order to keep the water in a contained underground system. Two channels will also be constructed to convey storm water to existing ponds. 2021 Tarrant County Transportation Bond Application 8 Purpose As part of the City of Kennedale’s 2012 Master Throughfare Plan (MTP), Collett-Sublett road is an important collector road and a key connection between two major arterial roads that connect Kennedale to Arlington and Highway 287. Due to the addition of the Magnolia Hills subdivision as well as an overall increase in the City of Kennedale’s population, Collett-Sublett road has become grossly undersized for the amount of vehicle and pedestrian traffic it is now serving. The currently constructed 14’ asphalt road with bar ditch and culvert drainage system is dangerous for drivers and even more treacherous for pedestrians. At the completion of this project, Collett-Sublett Road will be an example of the city’s complete roadway buildout that is included in the City of Kennedale’s Master Throughfare Plan and will ultimately increase the overall mobility and safety of vehicles, bicyclists, pedestrians and residents. Adding sidewalks will provide many benefits to the citizens of Kennedale, such as safety, mobility, and a healthier community. These sidewalks will not only also reduce the number of pedestrians walking on and around the roadway, but even increase the number of trips made by walking, thus reducing the number of cars on the road and mitigating congestion. Also, by moving pedestrians off of the travel lanes, vehicle operations will be improved, and roadway capacity will be increased. The City of Kennedale has an intense focus on the safety of its citizens and the Collett-Sublett Infrastructure Improvements project will help the city accomplish this goal. Not only will safety along Collett-Sublett be enhanced by the roadway improvements, but in addition, by replacing/rehabilitating the water and sewer lines while also creating a contained underground storm water system, Kennedale is efficiently ensuring the wellbeing of their citizens. Replacing deteriorating asbestos pipes to ensure that the citizens of Kennedale have clean, healthy drinking water at their disposal will not only improve the quality of life for existing residents but will also spur development in the area because of increased flows and pressure within the water system. Addressing sewer lines that are known to have multiple breaks and leakages will improve performance of the overall system and eliminate environmental dangers facing the city. Finally, by adding an appropriately sized storm drain system, this project will properly mitigate flooding on Collett-Sublett Road, which will enhance safety for drivers and pedestrians in the occurrence of heavy rainfall. In conclusion, the “shovel ready” project of Collett-Sublett Infrastructure Improvements will make the roadway much safer for vehicle and pedestrian traffic leading to greatly increased mobility, improved connectivity and reduced congestion to benefit the citizens of Kennedale. 2021 Tarrant County Transportation Bond Application Project Area Shield Engineering Group, PLLC 1600 W. 7th Street, Suite 200, Fort Worth, Texas 76102 Phone: 817.810.0696 | www.segpllc.com Thursday, April 15, 2021 G.K. Maenius Tarrant County Administrator 100 E. Weatherford Fort Worth, TX 76196 RE: TARRANT COUNTY 2021 TRANSPORTATION BOND PROGRAM Mr. Maenius: Sustained growth and development are overwhelming key areas of the City of Kennedale’s roadway infrastruc- ture. System expansion and targeted mitigation, repair, and replacement are imperative to address increasing demand and wear on aging infrastructure. Upon recommendation by staff, the Kennedale City Council has identi- fied the following project for consideration of inclusion in the Tarrant County 2021 Transportation Bond Program: The realignment of Kennedale Sublett Road is designed to reduce congestion, improve driver and pedes- trian safety, and increase connectivity. This is one of Kennedale’s primary arterial streets and is specifically relied upon for school-related traffic. However, it currently approaches Kennedale Parkway (Business 287) at an unsafe acute angle, reducing visibility. Further, the intersection is not signalized. The proposed project would realign the section of Kennedale Sublett that lies east of Business 287, extend the roadway west of Business 287, and realign a section of Mansfield Cardinal Road to the southeast. This proposal includes 29-foot concrete roadways, 5-foot sidewalks, a roundabout to promote efficiency and motorist safety, the replacement and enlargement of the aging adjacent 6-inch water and sewer lines, and relocation of the stormwater infrastructure underground. The existing roadway culvert on the east end currently overtops during heavy storm events. Full design would raise the road and eliminate this ‘low water crossing’, improving both mobility and safety. Finally, this proposal would better allow for future urban village development consistent with the goals of the Comprehensive Plan in this immediate area, which is not feasible without the increased safety resulting from the realignment. This project is included in the City’s Master Thoroughfare Plan and is designed to further connect the city, improve traffic flow, and reduce congestion. I would now, therefore, respectfully request your consideration of including the realignment of Kennedale Sublett Road (at a preliminary estimated project cost of $9,634,608, updated from the Council resolution) in the Tarrant County 2021 Transportation Bond Program. If this project is not selected for in- clusion in the ‘Call for Projects’ category, I would appreciate further consideration for inclusion in the county-wide projects selected by the Commissioners Court due to its importance in providing the traveling public with as safe roadway by eliminating the existing low water crossing through the FEMA regulated floodplain.

The city has experienced a steady growth in housing starts over the last three years and continues to attract more de- velopment, increasing property values and property tax income. The city’s overall debt capacity has been very well managed over the years, using a disciplined and defined approach to financing capital needs. Debt service burden is kept at acceptable levels to allow for instances in which capital improvements cannot be financed from current revenues. Kennedale’s current debt capacity allows Certificates of Obligation (C/O’s) which will be used towards funding this project. The city anticipates $4,800,000 in C/O’s in August of 2021, and an ad- ditional $8,000,000 in C/O’s in 2024. Constituents have expressed considerable interest in city infrastructure needs, to the extent of and having the option to vote in favor of them in a local bond election. Accordingly, General Obligation Bonds up to $15,000,000 from a Kennedale local bond election have been discussed among the governing body, as an option to provide supplemental funding for this project. Those discussions commenced in 2020, and an election could occur as early as November 2021. The electorate has consistently, over the years supported bond elections and debt issuances for infrastructure needs. Finally, should this project require any water sewer capital, up to $5,000,000 in revenue bonds are available without an increase in city water sewer rates. The city structures its debt with level or declining debt service payments over the life of each individual bond issue or loan to ensure a timely pay-off. This method ensures that infrastructure projects with funding match requirements can be funded fluently when the opportunity presents itself.

LEASE$367,218.45 FUNDING PLAN 7 CITY OF KENNEDALE, KENNEDALE SUBLETT ROAD, KENNEDALE, TX Overview The Kennedale Sublett Roadway Realignment project is a roadway improvement project located in Kennedale, Texas. The primary goals for this project are to reduce congestion, improve connectivity and mobility as well as provide a safer route for vehicles and pedestrians on what is an already busy street. This project will also include utility improvements with the goal of spurring further development along Kennedale Sublett Road and Mansfield Cardinal Road which will immediately benefit the citizens of Kennedale. Scope The Kennedale Sublett Roadway Realignment project consists of the realignment of a section Kennedale Sublett Road, North of Business 287, and a road extension of Kennedale Sublett Road to the South of Business 287. Additionally, to be in compliance with TxDOT roadway standards, this project will require a section of Mansfield Cardinal to be realigned to the Southeast through what is now a vacant lot. The realignment of the two roads will also allow the City of Kennedale to improve 5,100LF of existing 24’ asphalt and borrow ditch roads to a 29’ full section roadways that include sidewalks, curb and gutter. A traffic circle will also be installed to improve traffic efficiency and mobility, while reducing congestion at the intersection. The construction of Kennedale Sublett will also bring overall drainage improvements to the area by not only installing 2,045LF of underground drainage infrastructure, but also by upsizing and reconstructing an existing roadway culvert. The construction of this culvert will replace the aged and severely undersized culvert which, in current conditions, causes roadway overtopping in regular storm events. Finally, the roadway realignment will allow the City of Kennedale to remove and replace the existing 8” waterline on Kennedale Sublett with a new 8” PVC waterline, which will improve the water quality and fix flow and pressure throughout the system. The existing 6” sanitary sewer line along Kennedale Sublett will also be upsized to an 8” PVC pipe, which will fix breaks in the system and upgrade the existing manholes. The current undersized 6” sanitary sewer system along Mansfield Cardinal Road will be replaced with a new 8” PVC sanitary sewer system, which will fix numerous breaks in the existing system and improve reliability. This line will also help bring in further development along Mansfield Cardinal, which is currently in negotiation with the City of Kennedale. 2021 Tarrant County Transportation Bond Application 8 Purpose The realignment of Kennedale Sublett Road will reduce congestion and provide a safer route for vehicles and pedestrians on an already busy street. According to the City of Kennedale’s accident reports, the number of major accidents that occurred on Kennedale Sublett has grown within the past four years, making the need for reconstruction a priority to ensure the community’s safety. Multiple roadway connections to Business 287 will be permanently abandoned for Kennedale Sublett Roadway Realignment project. Overall, this will decrease the access points to Business 287, which will provide both a benefit to TxDOT and the City of Kennedale by controlling the flow of traffic and increasing overall safety. The realignment and roadway connection removal will also update the overall Business 287 layout and help bring the roadway into conformance with TxDOT standards for road and driveway connection spacing. In total, four street connections will be abandoned including: Short Street, W 5th Street, E Broadway Street and New Hope Road. This project will also include widened roadways, sidewalks and curbs that will ease the flow of traffic, increase mobility for pedestrians and reduce congestion. Improving Kennedale Sublett and Mansfield Cardinal will help steady the flow of traffic, especially during peak hours, since this road is commonly used as an alternate to the busy highway traffic from the 287/I20/I820 interchange. Additionally, the improved roadway alignment for both Kennedale Sublett and Mansfield Cardinal will enhance driver safety by decreasing traffic blind spots as well as bettering sight triangles for vehicles turning onto and off of both roadways. When completes, this project will be a representation of the City of Kennedale’s complete roadway buildout as listed in the City’s Master Throughfare Plan (MTP). In conclusion, the Kennedale Sublett Roadway Realignment project will improve future and current developments built along Kennedale Sublett Road, Mansfield Cardinal and Business 287 by enriching the community with safe and aesthetic roadways and sidewalks. This will further reduce congestion and increase the mobility of the local and nonlocal vehicles, pedestrians and bicyclists, as well as provide a great benefit to the citizens of Kennedale. 2021 Tarrant County Transportation Bond Application Project Area Shield Engineering Group, PLLC 1600 W. 7th Street, Suite 200, Fort Worth, Texas 76102 Phone: 817.810.0696 | www.segpllc.com Thursday, April 15, 2021 G.K.

System expansion and targeted mitigation, repair, and replacement are imperative to address increasing demand and wear on aging infrastructure. Upon recommendation by staff, the Kennedale City Council has identi- fied the following project for consideration of inclusion in the Tarrant County 2021 Transportation Bond Program: The extension of Little School Road is designed to increase mobility and connectivity, improve public safety response times, catalyze development, and promote public health. Little School Road currently terminates at Ken- nedale Parkway (Business 287). This proposal would extend Little west of the Parkway to intersect with S New Hope Road. This new portion of a 4-laned 64-foot concrete roadway would include 10-foot hike and bike trails on either side (in preparation for connection to the regional Veloweb) and installation of an underground stormwa- ter system. Most importantly, however, the project would include an elevated (grade-separated) crossing of the Union Pacific railway, which would not only facilitate traffic flow but also provide first responders access to the western portion of Kennedale (and unincorporated ETJ) when a train is blocking the tracks. Finally, this additional connection of a primary arterial (which, to the north, intersects Interstate 20 as Little Road and becomes Green Oaks Boulevard) could serve as a catalyst for further residential development in the southwest portion of the city, including the TIRZ. This project is included in the City’s Master Thoroughfare Plan and is designed to further connect the city, improve traffic flow, and reduce congestion. I would now, therefore, respectfully request your consideration of including the extension of Little School Road (at a preliminary estimated project cost of $13,884,000, updated from the Coun- cil resolution) in the Tarrant County 2021 Transportation Bond Program. If this project is not selected for inclusion in the ‘Call for Projects’ category, I would appreciate further consideration for inclusion in the county-wide projects selected by the Commissioners Court due to its importance in connecting major corridors between city jurisdictions and because of its public safety importance as a grade-separated railroad crossing.

The primary goals for this project are to increase mobility, reduce congestion and to improve connectivity while enhancing driver and pedestrian safety. The construction of this project will benefit the citizens of Kennedale, as well as drivers and pedestrians in the area. Scope The Little School Road Extension project is planned to construct approximately 3,000LF of new roadways and bridges between Little School Road and S New Hope Road and Business 287. Also included in this project are two 10’ wide shared use pathways on either side of the road for bicyclists and/or pedestrians which will ultimately increase mobility while enchaining the safety of the community. As part of this project, an elevated bridge is proposed to cross over the existing railroad along the west side of Kennedale Parkway, which will decrease congestion by providing vehicles an alternate route and connection to the west side of the railroad. This bridge will be the first elevated rail crossing in the City of Kennedale and will reduce congestion at the currently constructed four at-grade rail crossings, as well as improve mobility for drivers traveling east/west. The construction of this bridge will also enhance safety for bicyclists and pedestrians across the railroad. To address flooding and safety concerns for drivers on Little School Road, storm lines are planned to capture and contain storm water underground to keep drivers safe in the event of heavy rainfall and adverse weather conditions. Additional roadway culverts will also be installed to allow for safe travel across the existing FEMA floodplain, reducing chances of roadway overtopping during heavy rainfall events. 2021 Tarrant County Transportation Bond Application 7 Purpose The roadway addition of Little School Road will help stimulate current and further developments in the City of Kennedale between S New Hope Road and Kennedale Parkway by providing access to acres of land that are currently not easily accessible. Additionally, developments are already being proposed for this area and the construction of this road will only spark further interest from developers. Once this project is completed, Little School Road will be a representation of the City of Kennedale’s complete roadway buildout as listed in the City’s 2012 Master Throughfare Plan (MTP). Overall, this project will increase driver mobility, enhance the safety of vehicles and pedestrians and reduce congestion by giving an alternate route to drivers which will greatly benefit the citizens of Kennedale. 2021 Tarrant County Transportation Bond Application LITTLE SCHOOL ROAD LITTLE SCHOOL ROADKê S NEW HOPE RDN LITTLE SCHOOL RDE K E N N E D A L E P K W Y S NEW HOPE RD 650640 6 6 0 6 3 0 6 7 0 680 620 690 700 63067064865 2 654638 646 644 656 642658636634662 66466 6 63266 8 67 2 6 2 8 6746 2 6 676624622 682 68 4 686 68 8 692 694 69 6 698 702 704 706 618 656 666672638664 652 638 658 668654CITY OF KENNEDALE LITTLE SCHOOL ROAD EXTENSION !I Created By Freese and Nichols, Inc.Job No.: KEN15333Location: H:\TRANSPORATION\Working\Little_School_Rd_Extension_11x17_wOUT_TypSect_ALTERNATE_EXTENT.mxdUpdated: Thursday, October 29, 2020 2:08:20 PMUser Name: 024990 200 SCALE IN FEET LEGEND Little School Road Extension 100-Yr Floodplain Railroad Stream 10-ft Contour 2-ft Contour City Limit VALLEY TRLVALLEY TRL620628618616BRIDGE RAILROAD CROSSING Project Area Shield Engineering Group, PLLC 1600 W. 7th Street, Suite 200, Fort Worth, Texas 76102 Phone: 817.810.0696 | www.segpllc.com Thursday, April 15, 2021 G.K. Maenius Tarrant County Administrator 100 E. Weatherford Fort Worth, TX 76196 RE: TARRANT COUNTY 2021 TRANSPORTATION BOND PROGRAM Mr. Maenius: Sustained growth and development are overwhelming key areas of the City of Kennedale’s roadway infrastruc- ture. System expansion and targeted mitigation, repair, and replacement are imperative to address increasing demand and wear on aging infrastructure. Upon recommendation by staff, the Kennedale City Council has identi- fied the following project for consideration of inclusion in the Tarrant County 2021 Transportation Bond Program: The stabilization of Valley Lane is designed to mitigate critical erosion damage to a roadway that serves as the sole access point to certain businesses and residences by constructing streambank stabilization improvements between the roadway and the adjacent Kennedale Branch of Village Creek (which runs along the west side of Val- ley Lane from Kennedale Parkway (Business 287) to N Dick Price Road). The proposal includes installing gabion walls, concrete riprap, turf reinforcement mats, hydromulch, and soil retention blankets between the creek and the roadway to armor and stabilize the slopes to prevent further roadway failures. In keeping with the “Kennedale Greenways” project (kennedalegreenways.org), the plans are designed to minimize any changes to the centerline of the stream and to preserve the natural western stream bank. Finally, the addition of shoulders, mowing strips, and metal beam guard fences will provide additional safety for motorists. The stabilization of the streambank will further allow for potential future infrastructure improvements including pavement, sewer, and hike and bike trails. This project is designed to prevent further streambank failures, increase reliability of the existing roadway infra- structure, and improve safety to the traveling public. I would now, therefore, respectfully request your consider- ation of including the stabilization of Valley Lane (at a preliminary estimated project cost of $1,853,230, updated from the Council resolution) in the Tarrant County 2021 Transportation Bond Program. If this project is not selected for inclusion in the ‘Call for Projects’ category, I would appreciate further consideration for inclusion in the coun- ty-wide projects selected by the Commissioners Court due to its importance in providing the traveling public with as safe and reliable roadway which will promote future connectivity through hike and bike trails.

The city has experienced a steady growth in housing starts over the last three years and continues to attract more de- velopment, increasing property values and property tax income. The city’s overall debt capacity has been very well managed over the years, using a disciplined and defined approach to financing capital needs. Debt service burden is kept at acceptable levels to allow for instances in which capital improvements cannot be financed from current revenues. Kennedale’s current debt capacity allows Certificates of Obligation (C/O’s) which will be used towards funding this project. The city anticipates $4,800,000 in C/O’s in August of 2021, and an ad- ditional $8,000,000 in C/O’s in 2024. Constituents have expressed considerable interest in city infrastructure needs, to the extent of and having the option to vote in favor of them in a local bond election. Accordingly, General Obligation Bonds up to $15,000,000 from a Kennedale local bond election have been discussed among the governing body, as an option to provide supplemental funding for this project. Those discussions commenced in 2020, and an election could occur as early as November 2021. The electorate has consistently, over the years supported bond elections and debt issuances for infrastructure needs. Finally, should this project require any water sewer capital, up to $5,000,000 in revenue bonds are available without an increase in city water sewer rates. The city structures its debt with level or declining debt service payments over the life of each individual bond issue or loan to ensure a timely pay-off. This method ensures that infrastructure projects with funding match requirements can be funded fluently when the opportunity presents itself. See the chart below illustrating the payment plan for current remaining debts through years 2031: $0 $500,000 $1,000,000 $1,500,000 $2,000,000 $2,500,000 2017 2019 2021 2023 2025 2027 2029 2031 DEBT SERVICE REQUIRMENTS BY ISSUE CO SERIES2016 $3,720,000 GO SERIES2007 $4,365,000 CO SERIES2007 $2,900,000 SALES TAX SERIES2007 $1,200,000 CO SERIES2007A $2,735,000 CO SERIES2011 $3,260,000 CO SERIES2008$4,500,000 CO SERIES2010$2,000,000 GLOBAL LEASEWATER METERS$1,539,536.06 GLOBAL LEASEWATER METERS$182,122 GOVERNMENT CAPITALRADIO LEASE$125,000 GOVERNMENT CAPITALVEHICLE/EQUIP.

Additionally, this project is the first step in a chain of projects for Valley Lane that will enhance the safety of drivers, protect access to businesses, provide adequate utility services to Kennedale and develop a pedestrian/ bicycle trail system. Scope The objective of the Valley Lane Stabilization project is to enhance the safety of Valley Lane through the construction of streambank stabilization improvements along Kennedale Branch which runs on the west side of Valley Lane between West Kennedale Parkway and North Dick Price Road. Conceptual plans and a preliminary project evaluation for the streambank stabilization were completed in July 2020, by Halff Associates, Inc. The proposed improvements include the installation of gabion walls, a concrete riprap, a turf reinforcement mat and hydro mulch with soil retention blankets along the eastern side of Kennedale Branch to armor and stabilize the existing slopes. Also, this will minimize changes to the centerline of the stream and keep the west bank naturalized. Additionally, roadside safety measures such as shoulders, mow strips and metal beam guard fences will be installed to provide further protection to the traveling public. All improvements will be located within city owned right-of-way. 2021 Tarrant County Transportation Bond Application 7 Purpose The City of Kennedale also has multiple planned projects for the area, all of which are contingent upon the roadbed being properly stabilized. An 8-inch sewer line within the Valley Lane right-of-way serves the southern half of Kennedale and has been identified in the 2014 Kennedale Water and Wastewater Master Plan as needing to be upsized to a 15-inch main. This sewer rehabilitation is scheduled to be included in Kennedale’s Capital Outlay Bond in November 2021. The City of Kennedale is also working in partnership with the National Park Service to develop sustainable plans for greenways within the city. As a part of this plan, the 2020 Kennedale Greenways Concepts and Recommendations identifies the Village Creek area in which Valley Lane is located as a “priority zone” for establishing a greenway and trail system. Future plans to rehabilitate the Valley Lane Roadway, after completion of the Kennedale Branch Stabilization, include a 10’ wide shared use path for pedestrians and bicyclists. Additionally, the bridge at North Road is scheduled to receive funding through the Texas Department of Transportation match for safety and stabilization improvements including rails, riprap and gabion walls. In conclusion, Valley Lane and the adjacent Kennedale Branch Creek have experienced severe erosion which threatens the integrity of the roadway that serves as the singular access point for multiple businesses. These improvements are imperative as they will be the first step in stabilizing the Valley Lane roadbed while providing a safe route for the businesses in the Oak Crest area that rely on this singular access point. 2021 Tarrant County Transportation Bond Application
