A public hearing to consider and act upon Ordinance No. 11-56 to approve a negotiated settlement agreement and resulting tariffs with Atmos Energy Corporation Mid-Tex Division as recommended by the ACSC Settlement Committee and ACSC legal counsel. Finance Director Matthew Garrett briefed Council Members regarding the proposed ordinance. Mr. Garrett explained that the Ordinance and rates are the result of negotiations between ACSC and the Company to resolve issues raised by ACSC during the review and evaluation of ACSC’s RRM filing. The Ordinance resolves the Company’s RRM filing by authorizing supplemental revenue of $6.6 million to be recovered through the customer charge component of rates to cover direct incremental costs associated with a steel service line replacement program approved as part of last year’s rate adjustment. All other relief requested by Atmos Mid Tex is denied. The 2010 Settlement Agreement contemplated that the steel service line replacement program would be adjusted annually, but shall be capped at $.0044 cents for residential customers and $1.22 for commercial customers. The increase in this case is consistent with the caps contemplated last year for the steel service line replacement program, and nothing more. The monthly bill impact for residential customers will be a $0.35 increase in the base charge from $7.15 to $7.50. Mayor Pro Tem Dugger made a motion to open the public hearing.

Page 1 of 2 To: Mayor and Town Council Cc: Mike Land, Town Manager Hulon T. Webb, Jr., P.E., Director of Development Services/Town Engineer From: Wade Harden, Sr. Parks & Recreation Planner Re: Town Council Meeting – August 23, 2011 Date: August 16, 2011 Agenda Item: Consider and act upon adopting a resolution recognizing the Prosper Youth Sports Association (PYSA) as a preferred athletic league as per Section 7 of the Town’s Comprehensive Parks Ordinance. Description of Agenda Item: Section 7 of the Town’s Comprehensive Parks Ordinance allows the Town to recognize and give preference to athletic leagues to serve the Town’s athletic recreation needs. Prior to the recent amendment to the Comprehensive Parks Ordinance, the recognized league was Prosper Sports Association (PSA). The league was removed from the Ordinance to allow more flexibility for the Town when recognizing athletic leagues. The Town does reserve the right to remove any league from preferential status at any time without cause. The Prosper Youth Sports Association (PYSA) has submitted a request to Town staff to be recognized as a preferred athletic league.

Webb, Jr., P.E., Director of Development Services/Town Engineer Re: Town Council Meeting – August 23, 2011 Date: August 18, 2011 Agenda Item: A public hearing to consider and act upon a request to rezone 9.6± acres, located on the west side of Coit Road, 200± feet south of Frontier Parkway, from Single Family-15 (SF-15) to Planned Development-Single Family (PD-SF). (Z11-0009). History: On Tuesday, July 19, 2011, the applicant met with representatives of the Highland Meadows HOA and Town staff to discuss the proposed zoning request. On July 26, 2011, per the applicant’s request, the Town Council tabled the item and public hearing to the August 23, 2011 Town Council meeting to allow the applicant additional time to review and address the comments received from the Highland Meadows HOA and the Planning & Zoning Commission. The applicant has revised the Planned Development exhibits, specifically Exhibits B, C, and D, in an attempt to address comments received by the Highland Meadows HOA and the Planning & Zoning Commission. The changes to Exhibits B and C are shown in red, and the revised concept plan is Exhibit D. Description of Agenda Item: The zoning and land use of the surrounding properties are as follows: Zoning Current Land Use Future Land Use Plan North Single Family-15 House of Worship Low Density Residential East Agricultural Single Family Residential Low Density Residential South Single Family-15 Single Family Residential (Highland Meadows) Low Density Residential West Single Family-15 Single Family Residential (Highland Meadows) Low Density Residential Prosper is a place where everyone matters. PLANNING Agenda Item No. _ - Page 2 of 4 Requested Zoning – The property was annexed into the town and zoned Single Family-15 in 1997. The property was annexed and zoned as part of a larger tract that has since developed as Phases 2 and 3 of Highland Meadows. While Phases 2 and 3 of Highland Meadows are zoned Single Family-15, the minimum lot size in Highland Meadows is one acre (43,560 square feet). Z11-0009 is a request to rezone 9.6± acres, located on the west side of Coit Road, 200± feet south of Frontier Parkway, from Single Family-15 (SF-15) to Planned Development-Single Family (PD-SF). The requested Planned Development (PD) District allows for the development of up to nineteen (19) single family lots or a maximum density of 1.97 dwelling units per gross acre. The PD specifies a minimum lot size of 12,500 square feet. Town staff has compared the proposed PD standards to the Town’s SF-12.5 and SF-15 districts in the table below. Proposed PD SF-12.5 SF-15 Min. Lot Area 12,500 square feet 12,500 square feet 15,000 square feet Min. Lot Width 80 feet (87 feet adjacent to Highland Meadows) 80 feet 100 feet Min. Lot Depth 110 feet (150 feet adjacent to Highland Meadows) 135 feet 135 feet Min. Dwelling Area 2,500 square feet 1,800 square feet 1,800 square feet Front Yard Setback 30 feet 30 feet 35 feet Side Yard Setback 8 feet 8 feet 10 feet Rear Yard Setback 25 feet 25 feet 25 feet Maximum Height 40 feet 40 feet 40 feet Max. Lot Coverage 45% 45% 45% The PD includes a concept plan (Exhibit D), showing 19 single family lots, a 25 foot landscape buffer along Coit Road, a detention pond, and an open space lot for an amenity center. The PD District shall conform to all sections of the Town’s Zoning Ordinance as it exists or may be amended, unless specifically addressed in the proposed development standards. In addition to the Town’s landscaping and screening standards, the applicant has included language requiring additional tree plantings (minimum two trees per lot) adjacent to Highland Meadows and the planting of evergreen shrubs adjacent to the detention pond, as shown on Exhibit D. Future Land Use Plan – Future Land Use Plan (FLUP) recommends Low Density Residential uses for the property. The requested Planned Development (PD) District allows for the development of nineteen (19) single family lots or a maximum density of 1.97 dwelling units per gross acre. The FLUP recommends a density not to exceed 2.0 dwelling units per acre in areas designated for Low Density Residential. The zoning request conforms to the FLUP. Conformance to the Thoroughfare Plan – The property is adjacent Coit Road, a future six lane divided thoroughfare. Water and Sanitary Sewer Services – Water and sanitary sewer service will have to be extended to the property either before or with development. Agenda Item No. _ - Page 3 of 4 Access – Access to the property is provided from Coit Road. Schools – This property is located within the Prosper Independent School District. Any future school sites are to be determined at the time of plat. Parks – This property is subject to the Town’s park dedication requirements as they exist or may be amended. Any future park sites are to be determined at the time of plat. Environmental Considerations – No 100 year floodplain exists on the property. Additional Comments: The proposed PD does not include a fencing standard for the proposed single family lots on the property. The single family lots in the surrounding area, such as in Highland Meadows, Gentle Creek, and Whispering Meadows, use an ornamental metal fence to maintain an open feel throughout the community. Town staff recommends the Town Council add language to the PD to require all fencing on the property to consist of an ornamental metal fence to maintain the open feel and to be consistent with the fencing standards in the surrounding subdivisions. This request was also made by the Highland Meadows HOA at the July 19th meeting with the applicant. Budget Impact: There are no significant budget implications associated with the approval of this zoning request. Legal Obligations and Review: Zoning is discretionary. Therefore, the Town Council is not obligated to approve the request. Notification was provided to neighboring property owners as required by state law. Town staff has received four public hearing notice reply forms, all in opposition to the request. Attached Documents: 1. Letter from the applicant appealing the Planning & Zoning Commission’s recommendation for denial to the Town Council. 2. Zoning Exhibits A, B, C, D, and E. 3. Zoning map of the surrounding area. 4. Public hearing notice reply forms. 5. July 5, 2011 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting minutes. Planning & Zoning Commission Recommendation: At their July 5, 2011 meeting, the Planning & Zoning Commission recommended the Town Council deny a request to rezone 9.6± acres, located on the west side of Coit Road, 200± feet south of Frontier Parkway, from Single Family-15 (SF-15) to Planned Development-Single Family (PD-SF), by a vote of 4-2. The applicant has appealed the Planning & Zoning Commission’s recommendation to the Town Council. The Town Charter requires a majority vote of the Town Council present to overrule a recommendation that a proposed zoning change be denied. Since receiving a recommendation of denial from the Planning & Zoning Commission, the applicant has revised the Planned Development exhibits, specifically Exhibits B, C, and D, in an effort to address comments from the Planning & Zoning Commission and Highland Meadows residents. The changes to Exhibits B and C are shown in red, and the revised concept plan is Exhibit D. Town Staff Recommendation: Town staff recommends the Town Council approve the request to rezone 9.6± acres, located on the west side of Coit Road, 200± feet south of Frontier Parkway, from Single Family-15 (SF-15) to Planned Development-Single Family (PD-SF) subject to: Agenda Item No. _ - Page 4 of 4 1.

Administration Page 1 of 1 To: Mayor and Town Council From: Amy Piukana, TRMC, Town Secretary CC: Mike Land, Town Manager Re: Town Council Meeting – August 23, 2011 Date: August 18, 2011 Agenda Item: Discussion regarding SB 100 regarding Municipal Elections and options for contracting with Collin County and Denton County. Description of Agenda Item: SB 100 impacts municipalities May elections of even numbered years. The MOVE (Military Overseas Voter Enhancement) Act would push the oversea voting ballots into May of even numbered years in the event a primary election had to hold a runoff. There are several options for municipalities. Option 1 – change term limits to 2 year or 4 year terms. (May of Odd Years). Option 2 – Adopt a Resolution by December 31, 2012 to move the May uniform Election date to November. Option 3 – Continue to hold elections every May but be willing to pay more to counties for cost of purchasing equipment. (Collin County quoted $19,000 for Collin County only) We would be required to contract separately with Denton County. Option 4 – Denton County has offered to contract with PISD and Town of Prosper to split cost and will handle full election Collin County and Denton County portion for a quoted amount of $3,000’s to continue our elections in May of even numbered years. Town Staff Recommendation: Town staff recommendation is Option 4 to enter into contract with Denton County Elections Administration for the May 2012 General Elections. Prosper is a place where everyone matters. Administration Page 1 of 2 To: Mayor and Town Council From: Wayne K. Snell Jr., CBO, Building Official Cc: Hulon T. Webb, Jr., P.E., Director of Development Services/Town Engineer Re: Town Council Meeting – August 23, 2011 Date: August 17, 2011 Agenda Item: Consider and act upon ordinance no. 11-58, amending the Town’s residential building permit fee. Description of Agenda Item: The Building Inspections Fee Schedule has not been updated in over eight years. It appears to have been last amended some time in 2003. Permit fees are typically set to provide adequate funding to recover the costs of operating the various department functions, including but not limited to administration, plans examination and inspection. By adopting a current and up to date fee, a municipality’s financial position is not constrained and allows for the valued component of appropriate delivery of municipal services. Financial stability is possible allowing for uninterrupted growth and improvability of services as the Town progressively expands. Town staff has researched current Town of Prosper and various cities building permit fee schedules in order to develop a more appropriate and up to date Building Inspections Residential Permit Fee for the Town’s Development Services Department. Below is a graph representation of Residential Permit Fees for neighboring municipalities. Building Inspections Page 2 of 2 The graph also illustrates the most outdated to the most updated permit fee charges amongst municipalities surveyed from left to right. Adopting the current International Code Council (ICC) recommended Permit Fee Table and average Square Foot Construction cost is in conformance with standard industry practices and recommendations. The fees are determined by using the 2006 International Residential Code Appendix L Permit Fees and an Average square foot construction cost of $101.90 for type VB construction as determined in the Square Foot Construction Cost table provided in each February by the ICC. Budget Impact: The anticipated revenue for the 2011-2012 fiscal year is based on an average size home in Prosper (4,589 square feet total under roof) and an estimated number of 300 new home permits is $1,080,090.00. Legal Obligations and Review: • Ordinance Amendment was prepared by the Town Attorney. Attached Documents: • Attached Ordinance no. 11-58 Town Staff Recommendation: Town staff recommends the Town Council adopt ordinance no. 11-58, amending the Town’s residential building permit fee.

Garrett, Finance Director CC: Mike Land, Town Manager Re: Town Council Meeting – August 23, 2011 Date: August 18, 2011 Agenda Item: Consider and discuss water and sewer rate increases, expected FY 2011-2012 shortfalls and future revenue requirements. Description of Agenda Item: The enterprise fund for Water and Wastewater Utilities is intended to be self-sufficient by charging its consumers the costs of its services. Last year, the proposed increase for water was small enough to be postponed with no great impact, but wastewater rates were increased. Chris Ekrut, with J. Stowe & Company, conducted a refresh of our prior rate study and will briefly present his analysis and resulting recommendations. Both the water and wastewater rates are recommended to be increased. The rates for water from NTMWD increased 8.5%. Wastewater rates were expected to increase significantly this coming year, but delays in the Doe Branch project have helped hold wastewater increases to a minimum. It should be noted, however, that the Town expects the Doe Branch wastewater facility to begin construction in the near term. For an average consumer who uses 13,000 gallons of water per month and with a 7000 Gallon winter average for wastewater calculations, the total bill would increase $6.12. Budget Impact: The proposed rates should fully cover the budgeted revenue requirements assuming no new debt is required until FY 2012-2013. Legal Obligations and Review: N/A Attached Documents: Impact to Average Customers Board/Committee Recommendation: The Finance Committee provided direction to staff supporting the recommended increases. Town Staff Recommendation: Town staff recommends that the Town Council receive the presentation from J.

Garrett, Finance Director CC: Mike Land, Town Manager Re: Town Council Meeting – August 23, 2011 Date: August 18, 2011 Agenda Item: Consider and discuss including approximately $450,000 of General Obligation debt along with the anticipated debt refunding issue. Description of Agenda Item: Our Financial Advisor, Jason Hughes with First Southwest, has been working with staff on the preliminary official statement for the expected debt refunding issue in September. As part of capital budget and possible land acquisition discussions, it was determined that it would be prudent and cost-effective to include approximately $450,000 of voter approved GO debt with the scheduled refunding. Approximately $320k is anticipated for Parks Equipment as authorized in Proposition 4 and $130k is being designated to cover a portion of land currently being discussed for Public Works facility as authorized in Proposition 2. Budget Impact: The Parks equipment component is currently proposed to be leased in the General Fund Parks Department. If included, this change would allow the Town to fully pay for the purchase of 3 vehicles instead of leasing them along with other parks equipment needs. Legal Obligations and Review: Dan Culver is the Town’s Bond Counsel and has verbally agreed the projects as discussed are within the intent of the voter-approved propositions listed. Attached Documents: N/A Board/Committee Recommendation: Staff received positive feedback from multiple Bond Committee members regarding the savings opportunity to fund required Parks equipment. The Finance Committee discussed several funding approaches at the August 16 Committee Meeting and were in favor of including some GO debt with the refunding on a 7 yr repayment schedule. Town Staff Recommendation: Town staff recommends that the Town Council consider the proposed funding strategy and give staff direction on how to craft the Refunding Bond Official Statement scheduled for pricing on September 13 with Council consideration to be authorized on that same evening .

Garrett, Finance Director CC: Mike Land, Town Manager Re: Town Council Meeting – August 23, 2011 Date: August 18, 2011 Agenda Item: Consider and act upon a resolution declaring the intent of the Town to reimburse expenditures pertaining to site acquisition for, and design costs of, a public works facility and expenditures for drainage improvements from proceeds of future debt obligations to be issued by the Town. Description of Agenda Item: The attached reimbursement resolution allows the Town to finalize the purchase of Public Works facility land and possible design work and also to expend funds from available resources to pay for the cost of various storm drainage improvements identified as priority projects in the Freese and Nichols Drainage Utility System Fee development Report. The Resolution allows, at some later time, to have the funds repaid through a future debt issuance. The amount in the resolution is $1,300,000 and is slightly higher than anticipated actual costs. This allows for potential unforeseen costs to be captured in the reimbursement. This resolution is not authorization to issue debt and it does not mean the entire amount will be included in the issuance; only the amount Council determines should be refunded to the Town. It is anticipated that the Town will issue a Certificate of Obligation in the next four months to reimburse these expenditures and to cover any other projects Council determines should be funded. According to the Town’s Bond counsel, once the Town starts spending, the Town should adopt a resolution within 60 days of making expenditures. A resolution will permit the Town to go back 60 days and pick up expenditures (if any) made within the period that is 60 days before the resolution is adopted. The general rule is that the Town must issue the bonds or other obligations to reimburse its funds within the later of 1) a date 18 months after expenditures are made or 2) 18 months after the project is placed in service. However, the Town must in all circumstances reimburse within 3 years of making expenditures. Certificates of Obligation are not eligible to be included along with refunding debt issues, unlike the voter-approved General Obligation amounts currently being considered. Budget Impact: The Resolution itself does not have a budget impact, but any purchases or expenses approved by Council prior to the debt issuance would draw down available cash balances. The debt issuance anticipated prior to January 2012 would create scheduled bond payments in the Water and Wastewater Utility as well as the Drainage Utility Fund. Prosper is a place where everyone matters. Administration Agenda Item Page 2 of 2 Legal Obligations and Review: Dan Culver is the Town’s Bond Counsel and has prepared the attached resolution. Attached Documents: Reimbursement Resolution Board/Committee Recommendation: The Finance Committee discussed this funding approach at the August 16 Committee Meeting and were in favor of considering Certificates of Obligation for moving forward on a number of Drainage projects and possibly for Public Works Facility costs payable by Enterprise Funds. Town Staff Recommendation: Town staff recommends that the Town Council, “Move to approve the resolution declaring the intent of the Town to reimburse expenditures pertaining to site acquisition for, and design costs of, a public works facility and expenditures for drainage improvements from proceeds of future debt obligations to be issued by the Town.” RESOLUTION EXPRESSING OFFICIAL INTENT TO REIMBURSE COSTS OF THE PUBLIC WORKS FACILITY AND DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS PROJECTS WHEREAS, the Town of Prosper, Texas (the "Issuer") is a duly created governmental body of the State of Texas; WHEREAS, the Issuer expects to pay, or have paid on its behalf, expenditures in connection with the design, planning, acquisition and construction of the project described on Exhibit "A" hereto (the "Project") prior to the issuance of tax-exempt obligations, tax-credit obligations and/or obligations for which a prior expression of intent to finance or refinance is required by Federal or state law (collectively and individually, the "Obligations") to finance the Project; WHEREAS, the Issuer finds, considers, and declares that the reimbursement for the payment of such expenditures will be appropriate and consistent with the lawful objectives of the Issuer and, as such, chooses to declare its intention to reimburse itself for such payments at such time as it issues Obligations to finance the Project; THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE ISSUER THAT: Section 1.
