SUMMARY: In accordance with the City of Anna, Texas Home -Rule Charter, the Charter Review Commission has completed its responsibility to review the Charter and has filed the attached report which contains its findings and recommendations. The attached Resolution acknowledges receipt of the report and orders the publication of the report summary as required in the Charter. The Council must review the report and may (at its discretion) order any amendments suggested be submitted to the voters. The Council may call for an election to be held in November or May. If an election is to be called for November of 2011, the Council must call the election prior to September 7. The City Council will meet on September 6 to adopt the annual budget and to take any action necessary to call for a November 2011 election of it so chooses. RECOMMENDATION: With the exception of recommendations i. and v., the Commission's recommendations would not have a substantive effect on governmental operations. Recommendation i. calls for the terms of all city council seats to be evenly staggered with two council seats elected every year and the Mayor elected every third year. Recommendation v. would allow persons who are not city residents but that live in the city's extra -territorial jurisdiction to serve on city boards and commissions provided that the majority of members of each board are city residents. Below is a summary of the eligibility requirements for boards and commissions in our comparison cities. Celina — P&Z and Board of Adjustment members must be city residents. Parks and other Boards may be city residents or reside in the ETJ. Prosper — P&Z and EDC members must be city residents. Board of Adjustment members must be city residents or reside in the ETJ. Parks Board must be city residents expect that no more than two members may reside in the ETJ or own a business located in the city. Princeton — Members of all boards must be city residents Item No. City Secretary's use only Melissa — P&Z members must be city residents (proposed Charter). Members of the Board of Adjustment, EDC, and CDC must be city residents per existing city policy. Fairview — Members of all boards must be city residents Royse City — P&Z members must be city residents Little Elm — Charter requires P&Z and Board of Adjustment members to be town residents. Adopted policies require members of all other boards and commissions to be town residents. Forney — Members of all boards mentioned by statute (P&Z, Board of Adjustment, EDC, CDC) must be city residents. Van Alstyne — varies by board (waiting for more detail from the city) It is our belief that residency status will have significant influence how people who serve on boards and commissions view the issues they are asked to act on. Staff recommends preserving charter language that retains to the extent possible the privilege of servingon n city boards and commissions to residents of the city. At the very least city residency should be required for all members of the Planning and Zoning Commission and Board of Adjustment whose decisions have a direct effect on other city residents.

Introduction In accordance with the City of Anna, Texas Home -Rule Charter (the "Charter"), the Charter Review Commission (the "Commission") hereby reports to the City Council of the City of Anna, Texas (the "City Council") that it has fully discharged its duties as set forth in Section 11.07 of the Charter and hereby reports the Commission's findings and recommendations to the City Council. The Commission, an advisory body, assembled periodically in meetings that were duly noticed and open to the public and has developed a series of recommended amendments to the Charter, as set forth in this report. The members of the Commission have duly authorized the Commission's Chairman to provide this report to the City Council. b. List of Charter Provisions Recommended for Amendment I. Section 3.01(b) — Staggering of City Council Elections ii. Section 3.05(d) — Filling of City Council Vacancies iii. Section 3.06(10) — Design of Structures; Abatement of Dangerous Structures iv. Section 6.09(b) — Vacancies Created by Recall Election v. Section 8.01(b) —Appointments to Boards and Commissions vi. Section 9.01(c)— Meetings of Planning & Zoning Commission vii. Section 12.09 —Disaster Clause c. Description of Amendments Section 3.01(b)—Staggering of City Council Elections. Currently, City Council elections occur in three-year staggered cycles. In year one, the Mayor and three Council places are elected. In year two, the other three Council members are elected. In the final year of the election cycle there are no elections. This presents the potential that as many as four positions on the Council could change in the first year of the cycle. The Commission is concerned that such a large turnover could lead to instability in policy and general direction of the City. The Commission recommends that the Charter be amended so that there is a regular election every year, which would reduce the number of potential turnover from a maximum of four positions to a maximum of three positions in the first year of the election cycle and a maximum of two positions in the second and third years of the election cycle. Instituting such staggering would require some Council members to serve an additional year on current terms or require some new elections for shortened terms before all City Council members would eventually serve three-year terms. The Commission has no recommendation as to which positions should be lengthened or shortened to achieve the staggering. ii. Section 3.05(d) — Filling of City Council Vacancies. Section 3.05(d) includes a sentence that relates to the appointment of vacancies on the Council by the remaining Council members. This sentence appears to be a remnant from the original adoption of the Charter in 2005, when Council member terms of office were only two years. When the Charter was amended to increase Council member terms to three years, this sentence should have been removed as the Texas Constitution requires all vacancies to be filled by an election, rather than by appointment. While the inclusion of the sentence is legally inconsequential, it could cause confusion. The Commission recommends that the Charter be amended to remove the referenced sentence. iii. Section 3.06(10) — Design of Structures; Abatement of Dangerous Structures. This provision currently requires the Council to adopt rules requiring fire proof structures and uses outmoded and redundant language, for example, referencing both "buildings and structures." The Commission recommends that the language be streamlined and that "fireproof buildings" be amended to read "fire-resistant structures." iv. Section 6.09(b) — Vacancies Created by Recall Election. Similar to the issue raised with regard to Section 3.05(d), there is a fragment in this provision, namely, "by the City Council" that should be removed to clarify the fact that vacancies on the City Council must be filled by elections, not appointments. v. Section 8.01(b) —Appointments to Boards and Commissions. The Commission recommends that the Charter be amended to allow persons that are qualified to vote in statewide and county elections and who reside in the City's extraterritorial jurisdiction be permitted to serve on Boards and Commissions appointed by the Council, including without limitation the Planning & Zoning Commission, the Board of Adjustments, the City's development corporations, the Parks Board, etc. The recommended amendment would restrict the numbers of appointments of such persons so that a majority of the appointees of each such board or commission resides within the City's corporate limits. vi. Section 9.01(c) — Meetings of Planning & Zoning Commission. The Charter currently requires the Planning & Zoning Commission to elect from its members a Chairman, a Vice Chairman, and Secretary in July of each year. The Commission recommends that this provision be amended so that said officer positions may be elected during the subsequent meeting of the Planning & Zoning Commission that follows the month of July if there is no July meeting. vii. Section 12.09 — Disaster Clause. The Disaster Clause currently provides that if there are multiple deaths or injuries to City Council members so as to prevent a legal quorum, a temporary commission may be appointed to act and call a special election. The Commission recommends that in addition to this clause being triggered by deaths and injuries, it also include as a trigger absence of members caused by or in the wake of a disaster. d. Proposed Text of Amendments i. Section 3.01(b) — Staggering of City Council Elections.' (b) Terms of the Council Members are staggered so that eveFy third year t"^F^ will be no regular election ^f''^ nGil "4prnbPrg T"^ and the staggering of terms will be initiated as follows: (1) in the May 2009 2012 election, voters will elect Council Members for Places 3 and 5, and the Mayor, each for three-year terms; (2) The Council Member serving a three-year term for Place 1 that would have expired in May 2012 shall continue to serve in said Place until the May 2013 election; L31(2-) in the May -210-2013 election, voters will elect a -Council Members for Places 1 and 2, 4, and ra, each for three-year terms; (4) Council Members serving three-year terms for Places 4 and 6 that would have normally expired in May 2012 shall continue to serve in said Places until the May 2014 election; (5) in the May 2014 election, voters will elect Council Members for Places 4 and 6, each for three-year terms; and lll� all subsequent regular City Council and Mayoral elections will be for three-year terms. ii. Section 3.05(d)— Filling of City Council Vacancies. (d) If for any reason a single vacancy or multiple vacancies exist on the City Council, the vacancy must be filled by majority vote of the qualified voters at a special election called for such purpose within 120 days after such vacancy occurs as required by Article XI, Section 117 of the Texas Constitution. The appointee ,,,,,,+.......t the qualificatieRs.,.feren,.^a in Section 3 0 ^f �.. The person elected to fill the vacancy serves until the next regular municipal election for that Place on the Again, the Commission takes no position on which Council member positions or places are lengthened or reduced. The proposed text of the amendment is intended only by way of an example showing one manner in which to implement the proposed staggering of terms, and the Commission fully anticipates that the City Council will make any appropriate adjustments as it deems desirable. City Council. If the position of Mayor becomes vacant, then the City Council must— as soon as is practicable after a Mayor is elected to fill the vacancy—elect the positions of Mayor Pro -Tem and Deputy Mayor Pro -Tem. iii. Section 3.06(10) — Design of Structures; Abatement of Dangerous Structures. (10) provide for the establishment and designation of fire limits and prescribe the kind and character of buildiRgs oF structures or improvements to be erected; provide for the erection of fire-resistant structures firepraaf buildings within certain limits; and provide for the abatement ^^,o, of dangerousstFwGtuFes of buildi or dilapidated structures buildings or buildings ealeulated "^ iReFease the °'r^ hazard, iv. Section 6.09(b) — Vacancies Created by Recall Election. (b) If a majority of the votes cast at such election are "Yes" votes—that is, vote in favor of recalling the person named on the ballot—the officer is, regardless of any technical defects in the recall petition, deemed removed from office and the vacancy must be filled by the Cid as provided in this Charter. v. Section 8.01(b) — Appointments to Boards and Commissions. (b) Individuals who are qualified to vote in Texas elections and who reside v9ters in the City or in the City's extraterritorial iurisdiction may be appointed by the City Council to serve on one or more boards, commissions or committees. The City Council must make such appointments in a mannerthat results in the membership of each board, commission or committee being composed of at least a majority of individuals residing within the City. Such appointees serve at the pleasure of the City Council and may be removed at the discretion of the City Council. Appointees must be removed and replaced when necessary to ensure that the membership of each board, commission or committee is composed of at least a majority of individuals residing within the City. Except as otherwise provided in this Charter, members of any such board, commission or committee serve without compensation but may be reimbursed for actual expenses as approved by the City Council. vi. Section 9.01(c) — Meetings of Planning & Zoning Commission. (c) No member may serve on the Commission for more than three completed consecutive terms, exclusive of any unexpired term to which the member may have been appointed to fill due to a vacancy on the Commission. Any vacancy occurring during the unexpired term of a member may be filled by the City Council for the remainder of the unexpired term. In July of each year, or during the Commission's next meeting after JuIV if the Commission does not meet in July, the Commission must elect from its members a Chairman, Vice Chairman, and Secretary to serve for one year beginning in that month. Members of the Commission may be removed, without cause, by an affirmative vote of a majority of the full membership of the City Council. vii. Section 12.09 — Disaster Clause. In case of disaster when a legal quorum of the City Council cannot otherwise be assembled due to multiple disaster -related absences, deaths or injuries, the surviving persons of the City Council, or highest surviving City official if no elected official remains, must within 24 hours of such disaster, request the highest surviving officers of the local Chamber of Commerce and the Board of Trustees of the local school district, and the County Judge of Collin County to appoint a commission to act during the emergency and call a City election within 15 days of such disaster, or as provided in the Texas Election Code, for election of a required quorum, if for good reasons it is known a quorum of the present City Council will never again meet. 2. COMPREHENSIVE SUMMARY FOR PUBLICATION The Comprehensive Summary of the Commission's recommended amendments is as set forth in Section 1.c. i. -vii of this report. 3. CONCLUSION The Commission would like to thank the City Council for the opportunity to provide support in the process of the City's review of the Charter and believes that this report contains beneficial advice for the City Council's consideration.

The City of Anna has initiated a zoning change on Lot 1 Block A of the Walnofer Addition from Single Family Estate (SF -E) to Restricted Commercial (C-1) and Lot 2 Block A within the Z. F. Lester Survey of the Walnofer Addition from Single Family Estate (SF -E) to Planned Development (PD) with C-1 uses with mini storage units. The property was recently annexed into the City and automatically placed in the temporary zoning category of "SF -E". This zoning request would change the status of the property from a legal non conforming status into conformity with the zoning ordinance. (b) Consider/Discuss/Action regarding adopting an ordinance amending the City's comprehensive plan, zoning map and zoning ordinance and changing the zoning of certain properties generally located west of Powell Parkway (State Highway 5) and generally known as State Farm Insurance and Affordable Self Storage. The City of Anna has initiated a zoning change on Lot 1 Block A of the Walnofer Addition from Single Family Estate (SF -E) to Restricted Commercial (C-1) and Lot 2 Block A within the Z. F. Lester Survey of the Walnofer Addition from Single Family Estate (SF -E) to Planned Development (PD) with C-1 uses with mini storage. The property was recently annexed into the City and automatically placed in the temporary zoning category of "SF -E". This zoning request would change the status of the property from a legal non conforming status into conformity with the zoning ordinance. The property proposed for rezoning is owned and operated by Rod Walnofer. Prior to annexation by the City Mr. Walnofer was working through Collin County for all of his improvements except for platting issues which fall within the jurisdiction of Anna. Mr. Walnofer's project has one more building to complete before his project is finished. This building is located towards the back of his project. In order for Mr. Walnofer to obtain a building permit to build the remaining building the appropriate zoning must be in place to accommodate the use. Currently, the front of the project along North Powell Parkway is an insurance office with a mini storage facility in the rear. Normally, if built within the City a concrete fire lane would be required for the entire project. However the fire lanes that are in place were constructed under the County's prevue. Since the fire lanes are in place we are recommending that they be allowed to be used without retrofitting in this instance. In conversation with our Fire Marshall this arrangement will be sufficient. The staff is recommending approval of this request Item No. City Secretary's use only PLANNING AND ZONING ACTION: The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the proposed ordinance at their meeting on August 1, 2011 meeting. The vote was unanimous. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approval of Ordinance Please publish the attached in the legal section of the newspaper at the earliest possible date.

(Clark McCoy) SUMMARY: City Staff has determined that in addition to the requirements already set forth in The Anna City Code of Ordinances and the City -adopted 2006 International Building Code, which require permits for moving, alteration, relocation and demolition of structures, additional regulations should be adopted to ensure that when structures are moved or demolished the public's health and safety is sufficiently protected. For example, the proposed ordinance provides more detailed application procedures, additional detail with respect to asbestos reporting requirements, recovery of costs by the City when appropriate, and the amendment of definitions for clarity and reduction of redundant terms. The proposed ordinance also provides for a more streamlined procedure for issuance of building permits, requiring approval of the Building Official and City Manager. The proposed ordinance does not change the permit fees for demolition and does not change the amount of the penalty for violating the ordinance. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approval of the proposed ordinance.

In September of 2010, the City entered into an Economic Development Agreement with Bloomfield Properties Inc. whereby the City agreed to provide an economic development grant equal to 'h of the amount of sales tax the City receives from the sale of construction materials to Bloomfield Homes. This past spring, new legislation was adopted by the Texas Legislature that appears to conflict with the intended purposes of the 2010 Agreement and that places achievement of those purposes at an unacceptable level of risk once the new legislation goes into effect on September 1, 2011. As a result, the City Staff and Bloomfield Properties have agreed that it is in the best interests of both parties, that the September 2010 Agreement be terminated as outlined in the attached Amendment.
