CITY COUNCIL AGENDA
11/15/2022
Agenda Item Number: 1.d.
Agenda Item: Consider authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement for stop loss insurance
coverage.
Initiating Department/Presenter: Human Resources
Presenter:
Darren Drastata, HR Director
Recommended Motion: Move to authorize the City Manager to approve a contract renewal with
ISU/Companion Life for stop loss insurance coverage in the amount of $310,486.00
Strategic Initiative: Goal #6, Finance - Provide a sustainable, efficient and fiscally sound government
through conservative fiscal practices and resource management.
Discussion: The City currently has a self-insured medical plan. This means that the City assumes the
financial risk for providing health care benefits to our employees (as opposed to an insurance carrier
with a fully insured plan). The City contributes $850 per employee per month into our employee
benefits fund to pay for claims and to cover administrative expenses, which are paid to a third-party
administrator (TML). TML will process these claims and ensure that the plan is administered according
to the City’s policies. Due to the City carrying this risk, it is necessary for the City to carry a stop loss
policy (sometimes called a reinsurance policy). These policies protect the City from catastrophic losses
due to large claims (over $150,000). The City’s current contract with ISU/Companion Life expires on
December 31, 2022.
The City placed a legal ad according to the Texas bid laws and released RFP#23-02 2023 Employee
Specific and Aggregate Stop Loss Insurance on October 6, 2022. The public bid opening was on October
31, 2022, 2:00 p.m. The City received one response to the public bid. ISU/Companion Life, the
incumbent stop loss carrier, issued a proposal with renewal terms and alternative options. Renewing at
the current $150,000 specific deductible and $100,000 aggregating specific deductible. Specific and
aggregate premium rates are 4.10% above current, and the aggregate attachment point is -4.03%
current. Reflecting -3.41% below current on overall max cost. This will be our sixth year contracting
with ISU/Companion Life for this coverage. Below is a comparison of the current and proposed rates:
Current 2021 ISU/Companion Life Annual Premium: $299,951
Proposed 2023 ISU/Companion Life Annual Premium: $310,486.00
Total Annual Premium Increase: $10,535.00 (3.51%)
Previous Council Action: The City Council approved the current contract with ISU/Companion Life in
November 2021 for stop loss coverage for the 2022 Plan Year.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA

Agenda Item Number: 1.e.
Agenda Item: Consider authorizing the City Manager to enter into an agreement for health and dental
insurance administrative services.
Initiating Department/Presenter: Human Resources
Presenter:
Darren Drastata, HR Director
Recommended Motion: Move to authorize the City Manager to approve a contract with TML Health
Benefits Pool for health insurance administrative fees and fully insured dental premiums in the amount
of $370,336
Strategic Initiative: Goal #6, Finance - Provide a sustainable, efficient and fiscally sound government
through conservative fiscal practices and resource management.
Discussion: The City currently utilizes TML Health to administer our self-insured health insurance
program and our fully insured dental plan. The current contract ends 12/31/22. A major change was
effective 1/1/22 that switched us from United Healthcare to Blue Cross Blue Shield as the provider
network. This gave our employees a much larger network of providers. This new agreement is a three-
year contract ending December 31, 2024 for medical/RX claims administration and a fully insured dental
plan.
The rate for claims administration is $43.20 per employee/retiree per month, or approximately
$150,336 annually (depending on the number of employees/retirees on the plan). This does not include
the cost of actual claims. The premium cost to the City for the fully insured dental plan is approximately
$220,000 annually. This includes administration and total claims cost.
Listed below are some of the major services provided by TML Health related to the administration of our
health insurance program:
Access to the Blue Cross Blue Shield provider network and associated discounts on claims
Review, process and pay claims while ensuring compliance with our Plan Document, which
outlines what is covered or not covered by the plan
Manages the prescription drug program and Pre and Post-65 retirement plans
Manages our Flexible Spending Account program (pre-tax debit card for medical expenses)
Manages high deductible health plan and associated banking
Provides billing services for stop loss and life insurance
Pursues subrogation of claims (recovery of claim expenses through another party, which may
result in cost savings to our plan)
Manages our tele-medicine agreement, claims and service

Agenda Item: Consider Resolution 2022-30 - Ratifying an application for and authorizing the City
Manager to accept, if awarded, funding under the Office of the Governor, Public Safety Office Criminal
Justice Divisions Bullet-Resistant Shield Grant Program.
Initiating Department/Presenter: Finance
Presenter:
Ashley Brown, Grants Manager
Recommended Motion: Move to adopt Resolution 2022-30 - ratification of an application for and
authorize the City Manager to accept, if awarded, funding under the Office of the Governor, Public
Safety Office Criminal Justice Division's Bullet-Resistant Shield Grant Program in the amount of $54,380
($54,380 state grant share, $0 city match share) to purchase bullet-resistant shields that comply with
the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) level III, III+, or IV for the Huntsville Police Department.
Strategic Initiative: Goal #7 - Public Safety - Provide safety and security for all citizens.
Discussion: On August 17, 2022, Governor Greg Abbott announced funding for the State's Bullet-
Resistant Shield Grant Program for fiscal year 2023 to provide funding to equip peace officers with
bullet-resistant/ballistic shields. State funds for these projects are authorized by a Budget Execution
Order proposed by the Legislative Budget Board and ratified by Governor Abbott on June 28, 2022,
pursuant to Texas Government Code, Section 317.002 and Section 317.005(b). The Public Safety Office
(PSO) expects to make available $50M for FY2023.
Ballistic Shields provide mobile ballistic protection not afforded by other means, and are specifically
designed to stop bullets and dangerous projectiles in countless situations where mobile cover would
help keep the officer and community safe while rendering aid and evacuating the wounded in active
shooter scenes. If funded, the Huntsville Police Department will purchase five NATO 1, five NATO 2, and
two NATO 3 bullet-resistant shields that comply with the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) level III, III+,
or IV.
In order to meet the September 19, 2022, deadline, staff submitted a preliminary application to the
Office of the Governor, Public Safety Office Criminal Justice Division's Bullet-Resistant Shield Grant
Program requesting $54,380.00 in State grant funding ($0.00 local cash match) to purchase this
equipment. This item is to ratify this application and grant permission to the City Manager to accept
funding if it is awarded.
Previous Council Action: No previous action has been taken.

District Classification for 32.0675 acres, located adjacent to Sections 1 and 3 on the east side of Elkins
Lake Subdivision near the intersection of Wellington Drive and Green Briar Drive from Neighborhood
Conservation to Management.
Initiating Department/Presenter: Development Services
Presenter:
Armon Irones, City Planner
Recommended Motion: First Reading only-no action necessary
Strategic Initiative: Goal #3, Economic Development – Promote and enhance a strong and diverse
economy.
Discussion: Staff has received an application requesting reclassification of the Development District on
the property. The request is to change the property from Neighborhood Conservation (NC) to
Management (M). The subject property is comprised of 32.0675 acres, located adjacent to Sections 1
and 3 on the east side of Elkins Lake Subdivision near the intersection of Wellington Drive and Green
Briar Drive. The subject property is currently undeveloped and is being proposed for the development of
a mixed single-family detached homes and townhome subdivision. The Neighborhood Conservation
district designation only provides for single family detached and does not allow for townhomes in
accordance with the Development Code. Since the property owner desires to build townhomes, the only
option is to request a Development District reclassification. The proposed development will have 34
single family detached home lots and 30 townhouse lots.
At the October 6, 2022 Planning Commission Meeting, a public hearing was conducted for this item.
Following the public hearing, the Planning Commission voted unanimously in favor of recommending
approval to the City Council.
The change in development district classification requires the adoption of an ordinance. A proposed
Development District change request requires a public hearing, which took place at the November 1,
2022 City Council Meeting.
Previous Council Action: November 1, 2022 - Public Hearing

PLANNING COMMISSION
AGENDA ITEM DISCUSSION FORM
Prepared by: Charles Young, Planner Armon Irones, City Planner
SUBJECT: Development District Map Amendment
MEETING DATE: October 6, 2022
TYPE OF REVIEW: Development District Reclassification
APPLICANT: Prairie Flower, Ltd
SURVEYOR: Jeff Robertson on behalf of McClure and Browne
FACTS, CODE REQUIREMENTS AND CONDITIONS
Staff has received an application from Ben Bius requesting reclassification of the Development District for the property from Neighborhood Conservation (NC) to
Management (M). The subject property is comprised of 32.0675 acres, located
adjacent to Sections 1 and 3 of Elkins Lake Subdivision near the intersection of
Wellington Drive and Green Briar Drive.
The Subject property is currently undeveloped and is proposed for a single-family
subdivision with several townhomes mixed in. The subject property is currently
Neighborhood Conservation District and townhomes are not allowed in that
development district per the Development Code. If the property owner desire to
build townhomes, the only option is to request a Development District Reclassification. The proposed development will have one ingress/egress access
area along Wellington Drive. The development will be 1 block and 36 lots.
The Development District classification for adjacent property is as follows:
• Neighborhood Conservation (NC) to the North.• Management (M) to the South.
• Management (M) to the East.
• Neighborhood Conservation (NC) to the West.
There are three (3) main Development Districts in the City of Huntsville. The two districts applicable to this case are defined in Section 2.300 of the Development
Code as follows:
2.301 Neighborhood Conservation District – The Neighborhood Conservation
(NC) district is intended to help protect property values by conserving the overall character and function of single-family (detached house) residential areas of the
City. It is intended for application in stable single-family (detached house) neighborhoods.
2.303 Management District – The Management (M) district is the most widely
applied development district classification. All land not specifically classified in
another development district is included in the M district. The M district allows all land uses, subject to compliance with all other applicable regulations of this
Development Code.
Page 42 of 90
Page 2 of 3
If the subject area becomes reclassified as Management, a large diversity of residential and commercial land uses will be allowed for the property provided that all applicable
regulations pertaining to the Management District are met.
According to Section 12.308 Review and Approval Criteria the following three factors
are to be considered when making recommendations and decisions about DevelopmentDistrict map amendments.
12.308.A Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan and the Future Land Use
Maps.
In the Huntsville Comprehensive Plan 2040 that was recently adopted by City Council
there are three (3) goals listed under Land Use and Development Goals.
Goal LUD 1: A land use allocation and pattern that supports Huntsville’s key focuses of
increasing quality housing supply, economic development opportunities, and quality of life, while maintaining its “small town” and semi-rural feel.
Goal LUD 2: Revitalized high-profile corridors and continued focus on downtown,
providing increased retail and entertainment options within the city.
Goal LUD 3: Focused growth within the city, promoting fiscal sustainability
The proposed development is adjacent to an existing single-family development with
townhomes mixed in as well. Even though the existing development adjacent to the
subject property is Neighborhood Conservation, the existing townhomes were built
before the current Development Code was adopted.
The Huntsville Comprehensive Plan 2040 Huntsville which included a future land use
map, identifies the subject property as a residential use in the future.
12.308.B Compatibility with existing development district classifications, uses of
nearby property and the character of the surrounding neighborhood.
The neighborhood and surrounding area have developed in accordance with the original
established development districts. The majority of the existing residences are single-
family in the adjacent subdivision and are mostly occupied. The proposed development
would complement the existing land uses since it would be similar in design.
12.308.C Availability of water, wastewater, storm water, and transportation facilities generally suitable and adequate for use allowed under the proposed
development district.
Although the adjacent development has adequate water and sewer service, the
applicant will have to contact the Engineering Department so they can determine if the city will have adequate water, wastewater and storm water infrastructure to
accommodate the proposed development.
Since Development District Map Amendments are infrequently considered by the
Commission, a couple of pertinent factors must be addressed. First, development district reclassification cannot be granted with conditions. Since there are limited
Page 43 of 90
Page 3 of 3
development districts within Huntsville, the property can either be classified as
Neighborhood Conservation or Management with all requirements of the Development
Code for the given district governing how the property is developed. Second, the section
below outlines a procedural aspect that may be applicable to this case:
Section 12.307.A of the Development Code states:
If a valid protest petition is filed against any proposed development district map
amendment, passage of the amendment requires a favorable vote of at least75% of the City Council members who are qualified to vote on the matter.
Adequate notice was sent to the media and surrounding property owners as required by the Development Code and State law. After a public hearing, it is the duty of the
Commission to review this proposal and submit a recommendation to the City Council
on this matter.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The proposed development is slated to be a single-family residential and townhome subdivision, which is similar to the adjacent existing subdivision. The
change in the Development District classification from Neighborhood
Conservation to Management would allow for a variety of development to take
place on the subject property, however, the Development Code requires
additional buffering between different intensity land uses and conditional use
permits for certain commercial uses when within 200’ of Neighborhood
Conservation. For this reason and because single-family residential is the highest and best use of the property, staff recommends approval of this request.

Utilities, Inc. dba TMT Utilities in the amount of $1,143,460.87 for the construction of the Miscellaneous
Waterline Replacement project (21-10-01).
Strategic Initiative: Goal #4, Infrastructure - Ensure the quality of the City utilities, transportation and
physical structures so that the City’s core services can be provided in an effective and efficient manner.
Discussion: The City has been replacing existing undersized and deteriorated waterlines each year to
the extent that funding is made available for this purpose. Replacing and/or upsizing will help reduce
waterline breaks and associated maintenance costs, improve water circulation and pressure to serve
domestic needs and install needed fire hydrants in the water distribution system to provide for fire
protection.
These projects are to replace existing waterlines in six (6) locations along the following segments:
1) Robinson Way (22 nd St to 25 th St) – Existing 6” (approximately 2,400’),
2) Ave I (17 th St to 2121 Ave I) – Existing 8” (approximately 2,100’),
3) Cline St. (Montgomery Rd to Old Houston Rd) – Existing 6” (approximately 2,300’),
4) Hayman St (Cline St. to Powell Rd) – Existing 6” (approximately 1,200’),
5) Ave D to State HWY 30 East – Existing 12” (approximately 700’),
6) Hazel Street (SH 30 E to Louis Davis Dr) – Existing 6” (approximately 1,000’).
These six CIP projects were designed and bid together to obtain better pricing. Four bids were received
for the project:
5-T Utilities, Inc. dba TMT Utilities $1,143,460.87

reduce flooding and associated maintenance costs, improve traffic circulation during heavy rain events.
State of Texas General Land Office (GLO) has awarded the City a grant amount of $1,848,750 under the
Community Development Block Grant – Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) program to make improvements
to drainage projects.
These projects include two locations, W. Green Briar Dr. and River Oaks Dr, have been identified as
areas of concern for the City for the last several years. The City has documented stormwater runoff
overtopping the road during even moderate rain events at both locations, causing residents to be
stranded, immobilizing emergency vehicles from passing through the area, and undermining the City’s
maintained infrastructure. The City’s access to the N.B. Davidson Wastewater Treatment Plant is also
impeded by the overtopped roadways that could create significant delays in making repairs or
adjustments at the plant.
These two CIP projects involve:
1) Providing improvements to existing drainage crossing (replacing with larger size culverts),
2) Elevating the street to the extent possible (1’-2’),
3) Improving upstream and downstream channels by providing grading and slope stabilization,
4) Remove and replace conflicted/existing water and wastewater lines.
These two projects were designed and bid together to obtain better pricing. Four bids were received for
the projects:
Page 57 of 90
Doughtie Construction Co., Inc $ 2,054,557.25
TLC Construction Contract Services $ 2,534,788.79
Solid Bridge Construction $ 2,653,210.00
Crockett Construction $ 4,840,101.00
Currently the available budget for construction for the work to be done is $1,690,300. Thus, $528,622
of additional budget is needed. The balance in "Unallocated Budget" for the Wastewater CIP Fund is
$229,030; staff is requesting this balance be used to cover a portion of the needed $528,622. The City
recently bid construction for Miscellaneous Waterlines CIP with the bid coming in at $1,143,461 which
was $618,213 less than the budgeted amount of $1,761,674. Staff is requesting to use $299,592 of the
$618,213 budget that will not be needed for the Miscellaneous Waterlines projects for the West
Greenbriar and River Oaks drainage projects. Approval of the budget amendment associated with this
item will provide the necessary budget for use to be able to enter into the contract for the West
Greenbriar and River Oaks drainage projects.
Previous Council Action: a) The City Council approved the Engineering agreement with RPS Group at
the December 15, 2020 meeting.
Financial Implications: ☒Item is budgeted: Available budget balance for Construction for the
drainage projects is $1,690,300 before the Budget Amendment included in this agenda
and will be $2,218,922 if the Budget Amendment is approved.

Budget Amendment FY 22-23
Council - November 15, 2022
Exhibit A Increase:W. Greenbriar and River Oaks Drainage - CIP - Construction $528,622
Decrease Wastewater CIP - Unallocated Budget $(229,030)
Decrease Miscellaneous Waterlines CIP (FY 20-21 CIP addtns.)$(299,592)
Explanation:
Bids for construction for the West Greenbriar and River Oaks drainage projects have been
received and the low bid for the construction was $2,054,557. An 8% contingency/change
orders amount of $164,365 was calculated making the projected cost to be $2,218,922.
Currently the budget for construction for the work to be done is $1,690,300. Thus,
$528,622 of additional budget is needed. The balance in "Unallocated Budget" for the
Wastewater CIP Fund is $229,030; staff is requesting this balance be used to cover a
portion of the needed $528,622. The City recently bid construction for Miscellaneous
Waterlines CIP with the bid coming in at $1,143,461 which was $618,213 less than the
budgeted amount of $1,761,674. Staff is requesting to use $299,592 of the $618,213
budget that will not be needed for the Miscellaneous Waterlines projects for the West
Greenbriar and River Oaks drainage projects. Approval of this bugdget amendment will
provide budget for use to be able to enter into the contract for the West Greenbriar and
River Oaks drainage projects.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA
11/15/2022
Agenda Item Number: 3.a.
Agenda Item: Consider the Main Street Advisory Board's downtown parking recommendation.
Initiating Department/Presenter: Economic Development
Presenter:
Tammy Gann, Director of Economic Development
Recommended Motion: The Main Street Advisory Board voted to recommend no action on be taken on
this item.
If Council would like to take action on this item to move forward with a specific action, an appropriate
motion would be: Make a motion to direct the City Manager to implement _____________ for parking
in the downtown district.
Strategic Initiative: Goal #3, Economic Development – Promote and enhance a strong and diverse
economy.
Discussion: The Main Street Advisory Board (MSAB) met on October 24, 2022. As directed by the City
Council, the agenda included consideration of making changes to the downtown parking, including
specifically the option of paid parking. The board unanimously voted against supporting paid parking
downtown. The board also referred back to their original 2019 recommendation to continue the support
of 2 hour parking, recommending no changes to the current downtown parking scheme.
In support of the board's goal, to create and maintain a downtown public parking system that provides
available and accessible parking, the board identified that it is critical to create a downtown map that is
distributed to all merchants and their clients which clearly shows available parking areas. The board
revisited the findings of the year-long parking study previously conducted in 2019 and continues to
believe that there is ample parking downtown. The key lies in the perception and utilization of current
available parking spaces as well as the enforcement of the regulations. Staff has been directed to more
actively enforce the parking restrictions in this area and will do so once the restriping of the spaces is
complete.
Attached with this report are copies of the agenda sheet from the October 6, 2022 meeting providing
additional background and history, draft minutes from the October 24th MSAB committee meeting,
letters supporting changes to the parking, and a petition with a couple of hundred signatures in support
of 3-hour parking downtown. A map showing the current restrictions will be provided at the meeting.
The MSAB is an advisory board to Council and only provides recommendations for consideration. The
Council may accept their recommendations and take no action to make changes to the current
ordinance. If the Council wishes to implement other options for downtown parking such as paid parking
or changing areas from 2-hour to 3-hour parking, a motion to direct staff to implement a specific plan is
Page 66 of 90
appropriate. If the motion is approved by the Council, staff will take all necessary action to implement
the desired changes.
Previous Council Action: February 6, 2018- Council directed the MSAB to review parking restrictions in
the downtown area
April 3, 2018-Council received a report from the MSAB on the issue
March 5, 2019, the Council acted upon the MSAB recommendation and adopted an ordinance removing
the juror exemption from downtown parking compliance
October 4, 2022 - Council asked the Main Street Advisory Board to discuss the extension of parking
hours in the downtown area from 2 hours to 3 hours and directed the board to consider paid parking.
Financial Implications: Goal #3, Economic Development – Promote and enhance a strong and diverse
economy.

MSAB Minutes
CONSIDER Downtown Parking
Guadalupe informed the MSAB members that City Council had requested a recommendation on
paid parking and on the extension of 2-hour parking to 3-hour parking downtown. Guests who
were in attendance to speak on the subject were introduced and invited forward.
MARTINEZ spoke on the importance for clients of The Facemaker Salon to have a stress-free
experience. She highlighted that staff encourage their guests to shop around the square and to
spend time in the various shops and eateries downtown. Specific references were made to Roach
Dentistry and Ernst Jewelers are businesses who would support the extension on 2-hour to 3-hour
parking. She informed the MSAB members that clients come for treatments that take anywhere
from 2-6 hours and if they book a massage, facial, or other service they could spend an entire day
at the salon.
FLOWERS presented a petition which was signed by clients of the Facemaker Salon. The petition
had over 348 signatures gathered throughout the previous two weeks.
LYLE stated that an estimated 33% of clients stay longer than the current two-hour parking limit.
DISCUSSION
o GREY, S. inquired about how many stylists use the parking downtown?
o MARTINEZ responded by saying they have plenty of parking spots for staff because the
staff is on a rotating schedule that allows for them to use the limited spaces at different
times.
o GREY, S. inquired about the response to the idea of paid parking.
o GUADALUPE informed the board that various merchants had expressed that they would
not support paid parking because their customers would not be able or willing to use the
application required.
o GREY, W. inquired how the extension to 3-hour parking would solve the issue for the
salon.
o MARTINEZ responded that it would ease the stress of having to move their vehicle mid-
way thorough a service.
o KULHAVEY presented a brief history of the discussion on parking as it was presented to
City Council. He informed the board that various recommendations made would require
varying resources from the city. These would potentially include signage, enforcement,
and staff time.
o GUADALUPE informed the board that in the last year and a half parking enforcement
downtown has been sporadic and minimal. This has further aggravated the problem of
inappropriate of available spaces.
o BELCHER stated that the board had previously identified that it is critical that businesses
inform their clients of free, unlimited time parking available in the downtown area.
Additionally, it is critical that Main Street work with the County to encourage county
employees as well as clients to park in the appropriate spaces.
MOTION WAS MADE STATING THAT THE MAIN STREET ADVISORY BOARD DOES NOT SUPPORT
PAID PARKING
GREY, S./WILLIAMS/ UNANIMOUS
MOTION WAS MADE STATING THAT THE BOARD WILL REFER BACK TO THE 2019
