Future Land Use Plan
The Anna 2050 Downtown Master Plan divides the Downtown area into two
distinct sub-areas – the Downtown Core and the Downtown Neighborhood. The
boundaries of these areas reflect differences in the key attributes and potential
future uses in each area.
According to the Plan, the Downtown Core is bounded by FM455/White Street
on the south, Slayter Creek on the west, Hackberry Lane on the north and Easton
Street and East Hackberry Lane on the east and is envisioned as the heart of the
community, with the potential for outdoor recreation and entertainment, local
boutiques and shops and restaurants. The property in question is located within
the Downtown Core subarea.
The Downtown Neighborhood area surrounds the Downtown Core and is
characterized by a different development pattern, with larger block sizes
containing single-family residences and undeveloped land. This area feeds into
the Core and provides the largest catalytic sites for Downtown development with
the potential for mixed uses and urban living. The Downtown Neighborhood area
is intended to provide a transition from the Downtown Core to the rest of the
community.
Downtown Development Character Areas
Within the Downtown Core and Downtown Neighborhood subareas, the Plan
identifies future development patterns through five distinctive Character Areas:
(1) Retail Center, (2) Catalyst Areas, (3) Adaptive Reuse/Infill, (4) Intown
Residential, and (5) Transitional Development.
The property in question is identified as having the potential for Catalyst Area
development. Catalyst Areas are key areas in Downtown identified for their size
and potential to spur activity, contribute to the urban fabric and to serve as a
unique Downtown anchor.
The property is owned by the Anna Community Development Corporation and
will be used to attract commercial development opportunities to the Downtown in
conformance with the Catalyst Area designation. Additionally, this request is in
conformance with Action 9.1 of the Comprehensive Plan and Downtown Master
Plan which calls for city-initiated rezoning of downtown properties.

b.Conduct a Public Hearing/Consider/Discuss/Action on an Ordinance of the City
of Anna, Texas amending Article 9.07 (Tree Preservation) of the Anna City Code
of Ordinances. (Assistant City Manager Greg Peters, P.E.).
At the November 12, 2024 City Council Meeting, the City Council directed the
City Manager to review the list of quality trees in the City of Anna Code of
Ordinances and make changes to address concerns regarding the types of trees
installed in new development projects. City staff worked with representatives of
the Texas A&M Forestry Service to review our list of quality trees and seek
opportunities to improve tree selection and tree diversity in our community.
Based on the discussion and recommendations provided by the Forestry Service
staff, the attached ordinance has been prepared for review and consideration by
the Planning & Zoning Commission and the City Council.
The proposed changes include:
• Remove Ash trees from the quality tree list due to the Emerald Ash Borer
parasite becoming more prevalent in Collin County. This invasive species is
difficult to control, and kills ash trees within 2-5 years of infestation.
• Add language to highly encourage developers to select a range of quality trees
to plant in new developments, to increase plant diversity and reduce tree
monotony.
• Minor tree name changes to match Texas A&M Agriculture Extension
terminology, which will improve clarity during the preparation and review of
landscape plans.
The proposed changes are intended to improve our existing tree ordinances
based on the recommendations of forestry professionals.

AGENDA ITEM:
Approve an Ordinance amending the local fire code permit fee schedule. (Fire Chief,
Ray Isom)
SUMMARY:
This item updates the current permit fee schedule contained in the local fire code
ordinances which contains local amendments and North Central Texas Council of
Governments (NCTCOG) Amendments to the International Fire Code, 2015 edition. The
permit fee schedule is contained in Article 6.02, Appendix 1., Section 105, Table
105.8.1 and Table 105.8.2.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Updating the current permit fee schedule will bring these fees closer to covering the
costs of providing services. Fire permit fees generated approximately $40,000 in
FY2024.
BACKGROUND:
Permit fees cover hourly employee expenses for plan review, consultation, and field
inspections and on occasion, must be updated. Existing costs are based upon a 2025
survey conducted by the Anna Fire Rescue’s Fire Prevention Division and should be
adjusted to conform with the most recent market study and increased employee
salaries. These permit fees were last updated in August of 2021. Comparison cities
include McKinney, Princeton, Melissa, Prosper, and Celina. The fee table contained
within the fire code reflects updated costs based upon the most recent survey as well as
projected costs moving forward.

WHEREAS, the City of Anna, Texas (“City”) has previously adopted ordinances, rules and
regulations governing fees for fire-protection-related services, including but not limited to Ord.
928-2021, adopted on August 10, 2021, which by local amendment to the 2015 International Fire
Code (“IFC”) set the current fee levels for a variety of such services; and
WHEREAS, the City’s emergency and non-emergency services response activity to incidents
continues to increase each year and requirements involving equipment and training and to
provide emergency services create additional demands on all operational aspects of the fire
department services; and
WHEREAS, the fire department has investigated different methods to maintain a high level of
quality of emergency and non-emergency service capability throughout times of constantly
increasing service demands, where maintaining an effective response by the fire department
decreases the costs of incidents to insurance carriers, businesses, and individuals through timely
and effective management of emergency situations, saving lives and reducing property and
environmental damage; and
WHEREAS, relying solely on real property tax to meet the increase in service demands would
not be fair when the responsible party(s) should be held accountable for their actions; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Anna (“City Council”) has investigated and determined
that it would be advantageous and beneficial to the City and its citizens to update its local
amendments to the 2015 IFC with revised fee levels amend sections of Appendix A (Fee
Schedule) of The Anna City Code of Ordinances (“Anna Code”) by updating its fees related to
fire emergency response and related services, and to make companion amendments relating to

May 2, 2025 Greg Peters – Assistant City Manager City of Anna 120 W. 7th Street Anna, Texas 75409 PROFESSIONAL SERVICES PROPOSAL FOR ARCHITECTURAL AND COST ESTIMATING CONSULTANT SERVICES FOR ANNA SERVICE CENTER FEASIBILITY STUDY AND CONCEPT DESIGN Brown Reynolds Watford Architects is pleased to submit this professional services proposal for a Feasibility Study for project planning and bond program budgeting for a joint service center renovation and addition to the to existing facilities located at 3223 N. Powell Road. The study scope, along with our proposed team, scope of services, project schedule, and compensation are described below. PROJECT SCOPE The scale of the project is anticipated to include feasibility studies for the following construction phases: • 5-year plan: A new public works administration and service center building with associated parking, fueling, storage sheds and/or buildings, covered parking, covered granular materials bins, and other site development as may be identified for short term needs. The existing metal building may be repurposed for fleet maintenance or other needs, and a new fleet maintenance building would be anticipated if the existing structure is determined not suitable to be repurposed as fleet maintenance. Based upon approved project deliverables, a detailed opinion of probable construction cost will be provided to inform project funding. • Long-range plan: The long range planning is not yet confirmed but may be defined as similar to 20 or 25 years, or city build-out of the city’s current ETJ. The long-range plan will anticipate future expansion of the service center and will be considered as a future phase of construction. It will study the feasibility of fitting the long range needs on the identified project site, and provide a rough order of magnitude cost in today’s dollars for long-range funding planning purposes. We understand the project scope for the 5-year plan includes the following tasks: • Tour the existing facility, and 1 or 2 other benchmark facilities, to assist in programming and needs assessment input. • Programming to estimate current (+5 years) buildings square feet needs and major cost elements of site development. • Existing Site Analysis and Concept Site Plan on the existing site to validate that the existing site is adequate for the programmatic requirements and to inform site development construction scope for cost estimating. • Floor adjacency or blocking plans illustrating anticipated adjacencies of blocks of program spaces.
Greg Peters Professional Services Proposal Page 2 Anna Public Works Service Center • A construction cost estimate and total project budget projections to inform project funding. • Optional Services include the following:
o Concept rendering: Develop a concept design for the exterior skin of the main building(s) and provide either of a perspective bird’s-eye view for the site development or a perspective ground-level view of the main site structure(s). Rendering to be provided electronically in .jpeg format. Includes one round of owner review and comments and revisisions to the rendering. Printed copies, if requested by Owner, may be provided as a reimbursable expense. o Council Presentation: If requested by the Owner, BRW will prepare a brief powerpoint presentation and participate in a presentation of the study’s findings to City Council. o If requested by the Owner due to questions about the structural feasibility of the proposed re-use of the existing building, then scope for a structural engineering analysis and pricing narrative will be defined and added as an additional service. This information would then be used to inform the cost estimating. A not to exceed allowance is provided in this proposal based upon information currently know to the A/E team. We understand the project scope for the long-range plan includes the following tasks: • Programming to estimate long range planning buildings square feet needs and major cost elements of site development. • Concept site layout showing a possible arrangement of future phased construction. If the site is determined inadequate for long range needs, then the approximate additional site area that would be required to be added to the site will be estimated. • A rough order of magnitude opinion of probable construction costs. Architectural Services
• Programming: One meeting for public works, parks maintenance, and fleet maintenance programming that may be staggered by division or extended duration as required. • Conceptual site planning considering topography, FEMA flood zone maps, existing construction and site access. Concept site plans are not intended to represent the final design but rather to illustrate a feasible arrangement of the structure(s), site paving, and major site development components to validate that the proposed program will fit on the project site(s) and to inform cost estimating for site development costs. • Up to two (2) additional remote online conference calls for design review and cost estimate and budget review • Study Draft Report for Owner review and comment, provided in electronic .pdf format. • Final Study Report: One bound copy and also provided electronically in .pdf format, including the following: o Executive Summary noting budget findings and project recommendations o Tabulated data from the study’s information gathering o Tabulated Space Program o Existing Conditions Description with representative photos o Scope / Pricing Narrative(s) o Concept Drawings and Renderings o Appendix to include cost estimates, total project budget analysis tabulations, and other pertinent information if applicable • Final deliverables: Two bound copies of study report and an electronically transmitted .pdf version. Additional paper copies reproduction of report booklets shall be a reimbursable expense.
Greg Peters Professional Services Proposal Page 3 Anna Public Works Service Center Construction Cost Estimating and Project Budgeting Services We understand the Feasibility Study will establish a project budget to be used to inform future project funding. • Construction Cost Estimate for the 5-year plan in Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) 2004 MasterFormat based on approximate take-offs related to concept drawings and square foot (SF) unit cost. Construction Cost Estimate for the long range plan as a rough order of magnitude to a lesser level of detail, based on square foot costs estimation. Includes one estimate update in response to combined BRW and Owner comments. • The cost estimate(s) may include bid alternates to break down major components of the work that may be planned as bid alternates or for phased construction. • BRW will review the cost estimates for scope discrepancies and will provide a Total Project Budget projection analysis including construction cost, escalation, contingencies, professional fees and Owner’s development cost that may include direct to Owner vendor costs, and furniture, fixtures and equipment (FF&E) based upon Owner input and similar past projects. • Excludes estimating of shops, fleet maintenance, and other equipment costs • Excludes estimating of off-site development costs (street construction, utilities, professional services fees and land purchase cost).

AGENDA ITEM:
Approve a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute an Advanced Funding
Agreement with the Texas Department of Transportation for a landscaping project at US
75 and FM 455. (Assistant City Manager Greg Peters, P.E.)
SUMMARY:
This item is for a landscaping project with TxDOT to beautify the future gateway
monument. The timeline for construction is to have the project let in June with
construction beginning in September.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
To best utilize this funding, the city will provide a fixed contribution in the amount of
$220,000 to the state. The City of Anna will also be responsible for indirect state cost of
$11,638.00 for a total of $231,638.00. Funding for this project will come from the
Infrastructure Investment Fund.
BACKGROUND:
In 2024, Keep Texas Beautiful recognized the City of Anna as one of 10 winners of the
Governor’s Community Achievement Awards (GCAA) as an outstanding clean and
beautiful community. The city was awarded $180,000 towards a landscaping project to
be completed in collaboration with TxDOT along a state-maintained road. The City of
Anna has also received a stately cast aluminum metal plaque to be placed at the
completed project.
The award is one of the most coveted annual environmental and community
improvement honors in Texas. A community’s environmental project is judged by a
group of diverse, multi-sector judges on achievements in seven environmental and
community improvement areas: public awareness and outreach, environmental
education, beautification and community improvement, litter prevention and cleanup,
solid waste management, litter law, and illegal dumping enforcement. Communities
compete in 10 population categories with the size of the landscaping awards based on
their population.
STRATEGIC CONNECTIONS:
This item supports the City of Anna Strategic Plan, specifically advancing the strategic
outcome area: Unique.

Mr. Bernie Parker
Director of Economic Development
City of Anna
P.O. Box 776
120 W. 7th St.
Anna, TX 75409
Dear Mr. Parker:
Conventions, Sports & Leisure International (“CSL”) is pleased to present this proposal to the City of Anna
(“City” or “Client”) to conduct a market and financial feasibility study related to the potential development
of the proposed StarCenter Multisport Anna (“StarCenter”). The remainder of this letter provides the scope
of services we are prepared to provide, our professional fees, study timing, and conditions of our work.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
It is our understanding that the City is currently assessing a potential partnership with the Dallas Stars
(“Stars”) to develop a StarCenter that could include a variety of indoor recreation options such as ice rinks,
courts, turf fields, and other such amenities to accommodate local, regional, and national users. Based on
this understanding, we have developed a scope of service that will provide the City with the necessary
information and analyses to make informed decisions regarding the market and financial viability of a
proposed StarCenter. Our scope of service has been divided into the following three (3) phases:
Phase I. Market Analysis
Phase II. Financial Operating Projections
Phase III. Economic & Fiscal Impacts
At the outset of the engagement, our team will meet with members of the City, the Stars, and any other
relevant stakeholders in an initial planning meeting to establish the organizational framework to ensure the
study’s outcome will meet the Client’s objectives. Specifically, we will:
Review the project timeline;
Develop roles and responsibilities;
Determine the format and content of our deliverable products;
Mr. Bernie Parker
April 18, 2025
P a g e | 2
Establish a working group which will include representatives of the City, Stars, CSL, and other
stakeholders;
Tour proposed site(s), the community, and existing sports and recreation facilities in Anna;
Conduct meetings with a variety of project stakeholders, including but not limited to City
administration, parks and recreation, economic development, local youth sports representatives,
school district representatives, elected officials, and community leaders, among others to identify
projects goals and objectives;
If applicable, review architectural renderings, StarCenter building program estimates, site plans,
anticipated utilization, estimated revenues and expenses, and other available projected
information;
Collect for review and analysis available historical information for existing sports and recreation
centers in the City, including physical components/offerings, programs offered, fee structure,
annual utilization, operating revenues and expenses, project costs and funding sources, and other
such applicable information;
Coordinate future meeting schedule; and,
Modify the work plan, if necessary, to reflect any appropriate changes arising from the information
obtained in the tasks noted above.
The following pages provide a detailed description of our scope of services and the approach to be applied
to each project task.
Phase I. Market Analysis
As a means of assessing the market demand for the proposed StarCenter and its various potential space
offerings, we will implement a multi-faceted assessment that focuses on specific needs and characteristics
of users that would likely utilize such a venue. The comprehensive analysis has been developed to provide
an evaluation of the demand for the StarCenter based on detailed research and analysis of the marketplace
and not based solely on national and industry averages and trends. This phase consists of the following six
(6) tasks.
Task 1 – Review of Existing Recreation Offerings
Understanding the existing recreation offerings (both publicly and privately owned/operated) in the local
and regional market will be vital in determining the feasibility of the proposed StarCenter in Anna. In this
task, we will review the current recreation facilities (building program and conditions), programs,
utilization/participation levels, fee structures, operating revenues and expenses, and other such available
information to create an existing community profile and serve as a baseline in guiding the market research.
The information evaluated as part of this task will also serve as a vital step in identifying the impact of the
proposed StarCenter on different user groups, existing community assets, etc.
Mr. Bernie Parker
April 18, 2025
P a g e | 3
Task 2 – Demographic & Socioeconomic Analysis
In assessing the potential level of support for the proposed StarCenter, we will analyze the demographic
and socioeconomic characteristics of Anna and the surrounding regional area. We will identify historical,
current and projected characteristics and trends specific to the area such as population, age stratification,
household income, employment, cost of living, corporate base, tourism, transportation and accessibility,
and other market and economic trends. Each of the demographic socioeconomic variables will be detailed
by drive time or mile radii (depending on historical participation data) in order to determine the most
appropriate market area for the proposed StarCenter. The evaluation of these characteristics will serve as
an important component for our analysis since these indicators serve as a gauge for existing and anticipated
demand in the marketplace.
Task 3 – Recreation & Sports Industry Trends
In this task, CSL will assess recreation and sports industry trends and determine how these trends could
impact the short- and long-term market potential for the proposed StarCenter. Specific trends analyzed
will include, but will not necessarily be limited to national, regional and local trends for youth and adult
sports and recreation activities including participation rates by activity, frequency of participation,
participant demographic characteristics, participant socioeconomic characteristics, spending on amateur
sports activity, and other such data for a variety of indoor and outdoor sports and recreational activities.
This analysis will assist in identifying and quantifying the target market for programming at the proposed
StarCenter on a local and regional basis.
Task 4 – Comparable Benchmarking
A review of the physical, operational, and financial characteristics of comparable facilities will be critical in
providing a general informational background and programmatic perspective from which to assess the
potential utilization, building program, and financial operations of the proposed StarCenter. We will focus
primarily on newly constructed StarCenters and recreation facilities located in similar-sized markets to Anna
(and the regional area) but will also identify other existing and planned facilities located throughout North
America, as appropriate, to provide additional means of comparison. Interviews will be conducted with
managers and other facility representatives to obtain information (to the extent available) such as:
Year opened;
Owner/operator;
Partner organizations and/or tenants;
Total square footage;
Number and size of courts, ice rinks, fields, and other physical components;
Support facilities and participant/spectator amenities;
On-site parking inventory;
Programming offered and utilization/attendance levels broken down by user groups;
Pricing and fee structure;
Mr. Bernie Parker
April 18, 2025
P a g e | 4
Naming rights and sponsorship opportunities and revenue;
Financial operating data;
Total project costs and funding sources;
Ancillary amenities;
Best practices and lessons learned; and,
Other appropriate data, as identified.
Through this analysis, we will identify which facilities have experienced the greatest success or failures and
explore the underlying reasons.
Task 5 – Potential User Interviews
In performing an analysis of the potential utilization for any project, CSL relies on industry research data,
comparable facility data, historical community participation rates, and information provided from potential
users of the type of facility under consideration. Typically, CSL employs a survey procedure that focuses on
potential facility users to quantify the likelihood of market segments utilizing a facility, and the specific
amenities they may require. CSL will work closely with project representatives to identify local, regional,
and national user groups that could be targeted for the proposed StarCenter in addition to the Dallas Stars.
Data compiled will include the current local and regional market facilities utilized, type of programming
desired, market capture area, potential utilization/attendance, frequency of utilization, seasonality of
utilization/events, anticipated fee/pricing structure, necessary building program elements to accommodate
utilization, other necessary ancillary amenities, and other factors influencing potential facility utilization.
This type of analysis provides quantified estimates by market segment of the number and types of
programming that could utilize the proposed StarCenter on an annual basis.
Task 6 – Estimated Utilization & Building Program Recommendations
Based on the research conducted in the previous tasks, we will make recommendations regarding the
market potential for the proposed StarCenter. These recommendations will include overall needs in the
market for various facilities/offerings, the market-supportable programming and utilization, as well as the
appropriate building program elements to maximize demand and revenue potential. Specific
recommendations will include but will not be limited to:
Demand & Utilization:
Appropriate facility programming broken down by individual user segment/activity;
Estimated annual utilization broken down by individual programming element;
Anticipated user origin (i.e. local, regional, and national);
Seasonality of anticipated utilization;
Recommended pricing structure for various programming and uses;
Suggested amenity mix to maximize demand/marketability/revenues; and,
Mr. Bernie Parker
April 18, 2025
P a g e | 5
Other estimates.
Building Program:
Market-supportable number of courts, ice sheets, fields and/or other indoor/outdoor
components;
Required square footage and size/flexibility of various individual programming spaces;
On-site parking spaces; and,
Other factors influencing the potential size and configuration of market viable facilities.
Phase II. Financial Operating Projections
In this phase, we will develop financial operating projections related to the development of the proposed
StarCenter. The model assumptions will be based on the estimated levels of programming, proposed
pricing and fee structure, and building program (i.e. size, court/ice sheet/fields inventory, etc.). Financial
estimates will be developed to reflect a variety of development/operating scenarios. The models will
present the estimated operating results representing the initial years of operations under each operational
scenario. Operating revenues and expenditures related to the proposed StarCenter will be quantified by
program type and source, including those outlined below:
We will prepare our financial projections in such a manner that allows us to conduct sensitivity analyses
with various key assumptions (user levels, fee structure, facility configuration, operating expenses, etc.) to
identify areas of potential project risk and reward. The models will provide a clear picture of any financial
commitments, including operating costs, capital improvements and maintenance costs, required during the
early years of the project and through mature operations.
Phase III. Economic & Fiscal Impacts
Based on anticipated StarCenter utilization, building program, project costs, and financial operating
projections, CSL will quantify the potential economic and fiscal impacts generated by the construction and
ongoing operations of the venue. The economic impacts will be conveyed through measures of net new
direct spending, total output (direct, indirect and induced spending), jobs and personal earnings. Fiscal

impacts are measured in terms of the tax revenues that could accrue to the City (and other entities, as
appropriate). The following primary analyses will be conducted through this analysis:
Direct Spending Analysis
In evaluating these impacts, the first important step involves defining and quantifying the existing
sources of direct spending. This direct spending is generated throughout the construction and
operation of the StarCenter. CSL’s analysis will address the following primary types of spending:
Construction-Related Spending - Spending that takes place during the construction of the
StarCenter on materials, labor and wages, and other such expenditures.
Operations-Related – includes the annually recurring impacts from the operations of the
StarCenter (and potential tenants/partners), including spending in the community
through salaries and benefits, general and administrative costs, materials and supplies,
travel and accommodations, marketing and advertising efforts, and other activities.
In-Facility - includes purchases made by attendees for admission, user fees, concessions,
novelties, parking, etc. taking place within the facilities or directly related to facility
utilization.
Ancillary Community - takes place by StarCenter attendees, event personnel/traveling
parties, volunteers, away teams and officials, and other personnel in other local
businesses in conjunction with facility activity and generally includes transactions at area
restaurants, hotels and other service businesses.
The analysis will also address “leakage” (spending that immediately leaves the area/does not
impact the local area) and “displacement” (the portion of spending related to the facilities that is
taking the place of spending already taking place in another form in the area).
Indirect Economic Impact Analysis
The types of spending noted above reflect the “direct” economic impacts of the proposed
StarCenter. Indirect economic impacts are also generated as this initial round of spending re-
circulates through the local economy. CSL’s analysis will include the calculation of these indirect
impacts through the use of economic multipliers. By applying the multipliers, the analysis will
provide estimates of the following measures of economic impact:
total output represents the total of the direct, indirect and induced effects of estimated
direct spending;
personal earnings represent the wages and salaries earned as a result of the estimated
total spending; and,
employment represents the number of jobs generated as a result of the estimated total
spending (jobs may be full- or part-time).
Mr. Bernie Parker

P a g e | 7
Fiscal Impact Analysis
In addition to generating direct and indirect spending, earnings and employment, the construction
and operations of the StarCenter can generate a significant level of taxes to the City and other
entities, as identified. CSL’s analysis will include a quantification of the taxes generated by the
construction and ongoing operations of the facilities. Taxes quantified as part of this analysis
include, but are not limited to:
Sales tax;
Hotel/lodging tax;
Food and beverage tax;
Rental car tax;
Admission/ticket tax;
Property tax; and,
Other taxes, as identified.

AGENDA ITEM:
Approve a Resolution supporting the City of Anna's application to the Texas Department
of Transportation's 2025 Transportation Alternatives Set-Aside (TA) Call for projects.
(CIP Manager Muhamad Madhat)
SUMMARY:
This item is a required element of the City's submission to the Texas Department of
Transportation of a sidewalk project for grant funding.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None at this time. If the City's project is selected by TxDOT for funding, the project
scope will be finalized, and the project budget will be included in the FY2025-2026
Capital Improvement Plan for the City.
BACKGROUND:
The Texas Department of Transportation issued a call for projects in January 2025 for
communities to apply for funding assistance on pedestrian and bicycle projects. The
City has reviewed the program requirements and identified sidewalk improvements in
Anna which are eligible for the program.
The proposed project is primarily located along the US 75 frontage road between W.
White Street and Hackberry Drive. Specifically, the project scope includes 4,265 linear
feet of a shared use path/sidewalk, and lighting for safety. The project will provide
improved pedestrian access to Walmart, Chick-Fil-A, Chili’s, Home Depot, and multiple
other commercial locations in the adjacent commercial development. In addition, the
project would include an improved pedestrian crossing at the intersection of White
Street and Buddy Hayes Boulevard.
If the proposed project is selected by TxDOT for funding, this sidewalk will provide safe,
accessible infrastructure for pedestrians, cyclists, and other non-motorized users,
encouraging healthy lifestyles, reducing traffic congestion, and improving connectivity
between key destinations in this area. By enhancing transportation options and
recreational amenities, the project aligns with the city goals to attract visitors, support
local businesses, and create a more livable and sustainable community.

AGENDA ITEM:
Approve a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a purchase order for the
construction of an all-weather surface in the equipment yard at the Public Works facility
in the City of Anna, Texas. (Director of Public Works Steven Smith)
SUMMARY:
This item is for the construction of an all-weather surface at the Public Works facility.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funding for this item will come from excess fund balance over policy in the Utility Fund
in the amount of $212,350.
BACKGROUND:
The Public Works facility in the City of Anna is located on State Highway 5 in the
northern portion of the City. Currently, there are no improved surfaces in the equipment
and materials yard behind the public works building. As the volume of work, materials,
and equipment has grown, the lack of an all-weather surface is resulting in an excessive
amount of mud collecting on equipment, trailers and vehicles, which is then often
displaced onto public streets, causing a nuisance for the community. Constructing an
all-weather surface will significantly reduce the tracking of mud and dirt off of the site,
resulting in cleaner roads for neighbors. In addition, during and after large rain events,
the lack of an all-weather surface impacts the ability of the public works team to
efficiently move the equipment and materials which are critical to serving Anna
neighbors.
WOPAC currently has a contract with Collin County for asphalt paving (Contract #IFB
2025-123 General Road Maintenance), which the City intends to "piggy-back" on to get
the best price available for asphalt paving. The City of Anna is a member of the Collin
County Purchasing Cooperative, and is able to utilize the County's contract prices
through the cooperative.
Earlier this year, the City was able to sell back approximately $800,000 in unused
contract water to other members of the Collin Grayson Municipal Alliance. Staff
proposes utilizing a portion of these funds to pay for the proposed all-weather surface. If
approved, WOPAC would construct the surface this summer.
STRATEGIC CONNECTIONS:
This item supports the City of Anna Strategic Plan, specifically advancing the strategic
outcome area: Resilient.

Staff Report
Meeting Date: 5/13/2025
Staff Contact: Terri Doby
AGENDA ITEM:
Consider/Discuss/Action to approve a Resolution directing Publication of Notice of
Intention to Issue up to $85,500,000 Combination Tax and Revenue Certificates of
Obligation to Provide Funds for New Police Station and Wastewater Treatment Plant
Expansion Projects; and Resolving other Matters relating to the Subject. (City Manager
Ryan Henderson)
SUMMARY:
The City's Financial Advisors will provide a presentation with a plan of finance for
Combination Tax and Revenue Certificates of Obligation (CO), for Council
consideration. The presentation will include proposed projects and a schedule for the
sale.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The issuance of tax-supported debt has an impact on the property tax rate as a city
must set the Interest and Sinking (I&S) portion to meet the City’s annual bonded debt
payments. Additionally, expanding City facilities will have an impact on future operating
budgets.
The repayment of the utility portion of these Certificates of Obligation has been included
in the utility rate model and will have an impact on sewer rates over time. The ultimate
increase to rates will be determined by future growth as well as the payments by
wholesale users, and the use of impact fees to minimize rate increases to Anna
neighbors.
BACKGROUND:
Anna continues to see our needs for City facilities expand as we continue to grow. One
means of financing large capital projects is through the use of municipal debt. One
common form of borrowing is certificates of obligation (COs). In the City of Anna, debt
is used to fund roads, facilities, parks, equipment and water and sewer infrastructure.
STRATEGIC CONNECTIONS:
This item supports the City of Anna Strategic Plan, specifically advancing the strategic
outcome area: Excellent.

conditions of this Agreement by Developer including without limitation each of the terms and
conditions set forth below:
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVE AGREEMENT PAGE 5
(a) Required Construction of Roadway Public Infrastructure. Developer shall construct
the Roadway Public Infrastructure and shall timely complete such Roadway Public Infrastructure
in a good and workmanlike manner to allow for access to the Development, including the property
relating to the Anchor Buildings and Multi-Tenant Shop Buildings. The Commencement Date
shall occur on or before November 1, 2025. The Completion of Construction of Roadway Public
Infrastructure shall occur on or before June 30, 2026 (the “Roadway Public Infrastructure
Deadline”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Developer may: (i) extend the Roadway Public
Infrastructure Deadline for a six-month period by delivering a written notice of extension to the
City on or before the Roadway Public Infrastructure Deadline, and upon the delivery of such
notice, the Roadway Public Infrastructure Deadline shall be extended to December 30, 2026; and
(ii) extend the Roadway Public Infrastructure Deadline for a second six-month period by delivering
a written notice of such second extension to the City on or before the expiration of the first six-
month extension period, and upon the delivery of such notice, the Roadway Public Infrastructure
Deadline shall be extended to June 30, 2027 (the “Outside Roadway Public Infrastructure
Deadline”). Such extensions requested by the Developer as described in this Section 3(a) shall be
automatic upon delivery of notice and shall not require separate approval of the City.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, the Roadway Public
Infrastructure Deadline shall not be extended beyond the Outside Roadway Public Infrastructure
Deadline set forth in this paragraph unless this Agreement is amended to expressly provide for an
additional extension by the mutual written agreement of the Parties.
(b) Ownership and Operations. During the term of this Agreement, Developer may sell
all or a portion of the Property; provided, however, Developer shall remain liable for all obligations
hereunder other than any obligations properly assigned pursuant to Section 27. For clarity, the City
acknowledges that the Developer may transfer all or a portion of the Property for development of
vertical improvements relating to the Anchor Buildings and Multi-Tenant Shop Buildings, and the
City shall provide the Impact Fee Credits under Section 2(a) to the owners of the property relating
to the Anchor Buildings and Multi-Tenant Shop Buildings at the time such impact fees would
otherwise be due. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, no
Anchor Building or Multi-Tenant Shop Building shall be owned or operated by a tenant for any
purpose other than for-profit business use that is subject to payment of property tax and sales tax
and this mandatory limitation shall survive for a period of twenty years from the Effective Date.
(c) Waiver of Liberty 75 Tax Incentives; Indemnification. As a condition to the City
granting the impact-fee credits and reimbursements described in Section 2(a) and 2(b) of this
Agreement and fulfilling any other obligation under this Agreement, Developer agrees to waive
and release any rights, interests and/or benefits that Developer may have now or may have at any
time in the future to the Liberty 75 Tax Incentives such that the City will receive 100% of all sales
tax revenue from the Property and 100% of all property tax revenue from the Property. Section
7.3(c) of the Liberty Hills Development Agreement recorded as Instrument No. 2024000059345
in the Real Property Records—to the extent applicable to the Property—shall expire on the
Effective Date since Developer and the City have mutually agreed that no amount shall be paid to

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVE AGREEMENT PAGE 6
parties to all or any of portions of the Liberty 75 Tax Incentives or any other benefits under said
Section 7.3(c) that would apply to the Property in the absence of Developer’s waiver and release
of such rights, interests and/or benefits.
Section 4. Additional Agreements.
(a) Construction of Roadway Public Infrastructure and Other Public Infrastructure.
Developer hereby represents and warrants that all construction and inspection activities and
improvements in connection with or relating to the Project shall (i) be conducted in a good, safe,
and workmanlike manner; and (ii) materially comply with the City Regulations. Unless otherwise
provided herein, Developer further agrees and acknowledges that the City shall have no
responsibility to perform, monitor, supervise, manage, inspect, or control the construction of the
Project or related improvements. However, the City shall have the right, but not the duty, to inspect
the progress of Developer’s construction of the Project and related improvements. Moreover,
Developer hereby represents and warrants that it shall timely and fully pay all applicable fees,
including, but not limited to, impact fees (except to the extent such impact fees are credited as
provided herein), permit fees, and inspection fees, which fees shall be paid by Developer in
accordance with City Regulations and other development requirements including, without
limitation, those imposed by the City and any other governing body or entity with jurisdiction over
the Property or Project. At no time shall the City have any control over or charge/supervision of
Developer’s design, construction, installation or other work related to the Project or other
infrastructure, nor the means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures utilized for said
design, construction, installation or other work.
(b) Ownership. All Public Infrastructure required for the development of the Property
shall be owned by the City upon acceptance of said improvements by the City. Developer agrees
to take any action reasonably required by the City to transfer or otherwise dedicate or ensure the
dedication of land, right of way, or easements for said Public Infrastructure to the City and the
public.
(c) Infrastructure. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement,
Developer shall provide all infrastructure necessary to serve the Property, including, without
limitation, streets, utilities, drainage, sidewalks, trails, street lighting, street signage, and all other
required improvements, at no cost to the City, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, and
in accordance with City Regulations, and as approved by the City’s engineer or his or her agent.
Developer shall cause the installation of such improvements within all applicable time frames in
accordance with the City Regulations, unless otherwise approved herein. Developer shall provide
engineering studies, plan/profile sheets, and other construction documents at the time of platting
as required by City Regulations. Such plans shall be approved by the City’s engineer or his or her
agent prior to approval of a final plat. No final plat may be recorded in the Real Property Records
of Collin County until construction of all Public Infrastructure shown thereon have been
constructed, and thereafter inspected, approved and accepted by the City. Notwithstanding
anything contained in this Agreement or in the City Regulations, the Developer, subsequent owner,
or anchor tenant may apply for a building permit prior to the completion and acceptance of Public
Infrastructure or the filing of a final plat, and the City shall not withhold approval of such building
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVE AGREEMENT PAGE 7
permit pending completion of the Public Infrastructure or a final plat. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the City shall not be required to provide a certificate of occupancy until the Roadway
Public Infrastructure is accepted.
(d) Inspections. The City shall have the right to inspect, at any time, the construction
of the Public Infrastructure. The City’s inspections and/or approvals shall not release Developer
from its responsibility to construct, or cause the construction of, adequate Public Infrastructure in
accordance with approved engineering plans, construction plans, and other approved plans related
to development of the Property. Acceptance by the City shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(e) Approval of Plats/Plans. The design of any Public Infrastructure shall be approved
by the City in advance of the construction of the same. Approval by the City, the City’s engineer
or other City employee or representative, of any plans, designs or specifications submitted by
Developer pursuant to this Agreement or pursuant to City Regulations shall not constitute or be
deemed to be a release of the responsibility and liability of Developer, its engineer, employees,
officers or agents for the accuracy and competency of their design and specifications. Further, any
such approvals shall not be deemed to be an assumption of such responsibility and liability by the
City for any defect in the design and specifications prepared by Developer or Developer’s
engineer, or engineer's officers, agents, servants or employees, it being the intent of the Parties that
approval by the City’s engineer signifies the City’s approval on only the general design concept
of the improvements to be constructed.
(f) Performance Bond, Payment Bond, Maintenance Bond, and Other Security. For
each construction contract for any part of the Public Infrastructure, generally, Developer or
Developer’s contractor must execute a performance bond in favor of the City and a payment bond
for the construction and work covered by those contracts, which bonds shall be (i) in accordance
with Texas Government Code, Chapter 2253; (ii) any and all applicable City Regulations; and (iii)
approved by the City. For each construction contract for any part of the Public Infrastructure,
Developer or Developer’s contractor further must execute a maintenance bond in accordance with
applicable City Regulations that guarantee the costs of any repairs which may become necessary
to any part of the construction work performed in connection with the Public Infrastructure, arising
from defective workmanship or materials used therein, for a full period of not less than two (2)
years from the date of final acceptance of the Public Infrastructure constructed under such contract.
(g) Eminent Domain. The Developer agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts
to obtain all third-party rights-of-way, consents, or easements, if any, required for the Public
Infrastructure. If, however, the Developer is unable to obtain such third-party rights-of-way,
consents, or easements within ninety (90) days of sending an initial offer to the owner of such
property to purchase the needed easements and right-of-way, the City agrees to take reasonable
steps to secure same (subject to City Council authorization after a finding of public necessity)
through the use of the City’s power of eminent domain. The City shall request and order any
appraisal required in connection with the Developer’s (if requested by the Developer) or the City’s
acquisition of such third-party rights-of-way, consents, or easements as described in the preceding
two sentences, and the Developer shall pay the costs of such appraisal. The Developer shall be
responsible for funding all reasonable and necessary legal proceeding/litigation costs, attorney’s
fees and related expenses, and appraiser and expert witness fees (collectively, “Eminent Domain
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVE AGREEMENT PAGE 8
Fees”) actually incurred by the City in the exercise of its eminent domain powers and shall escrow
with a mutually agreed upon escrow agent the City’s reasonably estimated Eminent Domain Fees
both in advance of the initiation of each eminent domain proceeding and as funds are needed by
the City. Provided that the escrow fund remains appropriately funded in accordance with this
Agreement, the City will use all reasonable efforts to expedite such condemnation procedures so
that the Public Infrastructure can be constructed as soon as reasonably practicable. If the City’s
Eminent Domain Fees exceed the amount of funds escrowed in accordance with this paragraph,
the Developer shall deposit additional funds as requested by the City into the escrow account
within ten (10) days after written notice from the City. Any unused escrow funds will be refunded
to the Developer within thirty (30) days after any condemnation award or settlement becomes final
and non-appealable. Nothing in this section is intended to constitute a delegation of the police
powers or governmental authority of the City, and the City reserves the right, at all times, to control
its proceedings in eminent domain.
Section 5. Termination Provisions.
(a) Termination. This Agreement terminates on the Expiration Date, and may, prior
to the Expiration Date, be terminated upon any one or more of the following:

(2) by a Party, if another Party defaults or breaches any of the terms or conditions of

day period and diligently pursued until the breach or default is corrected; provided,
further that a Party will not be deemed to be in breach, default or otherwise in
violation of any term of this Agreement (other than the obligation to make a

(3) by the City if any taxes or assessments owed to the City or the State of Texas by
Developer with respect to the Property shall have become delinquent (provided,
however, Developer retains the right to timely and properly protest and contest any
such taxes or assessments); or.

that Developer in satisfying the conditions of this Agreement has acted independently, and the

actions. Nothing in this Agreement waives any immunities and/or limitations on damages
otherwise available to a Party as relates to any claims or proceeding brought or pursued by any
third party.

terms hereof are not intended to and shall not be deemed to create a partnership or joint venture

Section 15. Invalidation. Invalidation of any one of the provisions of this Agreement

in full force and effect. The stricken provision will then be deemed replaced with one that is
valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the Parties' original intent.

affirmatively declared to be excluded from its federal sanctions regime relating to Sudan
or Iran or any federal sanctions regime relating to a foreign terrorist organization.

Government Code.
c. No Discrimination Against Firearm Entities. Developer hereby verifies that
it and its parent company, wholly- or majority-owned subsidiaries, and other affiliates, if
any, do not have a practice, policy, guidance, or directive that discriminates against a
firearm entity or firearm trade association and will not discriminate against a firearm entity
or firearm trade association during the term of this Agreement. As used in the foregoing
verification, “discriminate against a firearm entity or firearm trade association” has the
meaning provided in Section 2274.001(3), Government Code.
d. No Boycott of Energy Companies. Developer hereby verifies that it and its
parent company, wholly- or majority-owned subsidiaries, and other affiliates, if any, do
not boycott energy companies and will not boycott energy companies during the term of
this Agreement. As used in the foregoing verification, “boycott energy companies” has the
meaning provided in Section 2276.001(1), Government Code.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVE AGREEMENT PAGE 13
Section 21. Form 1295. Developer represents that it has complied with Texas
Government Code, Section 2252.908 and in connection therewith, Developer has completed a

Commission. Developer further agrees to print the completed certificate and execute the
completed certificate in such form as is required by Texas Government Code, Section 2252.908
and the rules of the Texas Ethics Commission and provide to the City at the time of delivery of
an executed counterpart of this Agreement, a duly executed completed Form 1295 Certificate.
The Parties agree that, except for the information identifying the Cirt and the contract
identification number, the City is not responsible for the information contained in the Form 1295
completed by Developer. The information contained in the Form 1295 completed by Developer
has been provided solely by Developer and the City has not verified such information.
Section 22. Amendment. This Agreement may only be amended by a written
agreement executed by the Parties.
Section 23. Recitals. The recitals in this Agreement are true and correct, represent
representations and warranties of the Parties, and are incorporated as part of this Agreement for
all purposes.
Section 24. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original instrument, but all of the counterparts shall constitute one and
the same instrument.
Section 25. Exhibits. All exhibits to this Agreement are incorporated herein by
reference for all purposes wherever reference is made to the same.
Section 26. Survival of Covenants. Any covenants of the Parties that are to be
performed after termination of this Agreement shall survive termination of this Agreement.
Section 27. Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned by Developer, in whole
or in part, without the prior written consent of the City, which shall not be unreasonably withheld,
delayed or conditioned; provided, however, Developer may assign this Agreement to any affiliate
of Developer or to any buyer of all or a portion of the Property without the prior consent of the
City. Any attempted assignment by Developer in violation of the terms and provisions of this
section shall be void. In addition, for clarity, no assignment of this Agreement shall be required
for the owner of the Anchor Tenants or Multi-Tenant Shop Buildings to receive the Impact Fee
credits set forth in Section 2(a).

Can we call the election before the

Author
--------------------------------------------
The election code states that it must be
ordered
no later than the 5th day after the final
canvassed. It does not say whether it
can be ordered before the final canvass.
The Texas Municipal Election Law
Manual published by the Texas
Municipal Clerks Association has the
following commentary: “In a sense the
ordering of the general election is a
formality, since the date of the election
and the offices to be filled for full terms
are predetermined. In fact, the election
code itself provides that failure to order
a general election does not affect the
validity of the election [EC §3.007].”
Given this, I would advise that waiting
until after the final canvass to order the
election is not critical. In the highly
unlikely event that a runoff becomes
unnecessary the Council could amend
or repeal this order on December 8,
2020.
