m. Approve a Resolution approving a site and landscape plan for the Anna Day
Care located at 1229 W White St. (Managing Director of Community
Services Ashley Stathatos)
Kevin Patel, the owner of the property, has submitted a site and landscape
plan for Anna Day Care located at 1229 W White St. The site contains
approximately 1.185 acres of land that is zoned SUP fora 8,425 SF daycare.
Staff discovered the developer had not received approval for their site plan or
landscape plan after construction of the building began. The developer was
allowed to continue work on the building but was directed not to perform site
work until the site plan and landscape plans were approved.
To bring the site and landscape plans into compliance with city regulations, the
developer worked through several issues with staff. One of the most pressing
issues related to clear cutting down trees at Natural Springs Park between the
dog park and the back of the grocery store. To rectify the incident, the
developer agreed to planting three times the amount of trees required by city
ordinance, putting in an irrigation system to water the trees and a 2 -year
warranty to replace any trees that die. Staff feels this was a fair resolution to
the incident. All other issues have been resolved.
Staff is in favor of the site and landscape plans and recommends approval. At
a special called meeting by the Planning and Zoning Commission on
September 19, 2019, the Planning and Zoning Commission approved the
site and landscape plans and recommends approval as well.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF ANNA, TEXAS APPROVING THE
ANNA DAY CARE SITE PLAN AND LANDSCAPE PLAN.
Approve a Resolution approving and authorizing a Subdivision Improvement
Agreement (Escrow Agreement) by and between the City of Anna, Texas, and
Pecan Grove Phase I I Ltd. (Director of Public Works Greg Peters)
Pecan Grove Phase II is substantially complete, with the public paving,
drainage, water, and sanitary sewer improvements being constructed and in
place. There are several remaining Subdivision Improvements and Lot
Improvements required to be completed in portions of the subdivision. The
City of Anna's Subdivision Ordinance provides for a Subdivision
Improvement Agreement to be entered into by and between the City and the
Developer, whereby the City may hold funds in escrow until the remaining
improvements are complete. The remaining internal improvements include
minor grading, retaining walls, testing and cleaning of public sanitary sewer
and drainage improvements, sidewalk installation, and establishing vegetation.
The agreement allows the developer to begin the process of turning lots over
to the builder, while providing the City a method by which to ensure all
remaining improvements are completed. Staff has found these items to be
minor in nature, and as such is recommending that the City Council approve
the agreement. If the Developer fails to complete the remaining items within 1
calendar year, the City will be allowed to use the escrow funds to complete
the required improvements.

Motion carried 7-0.
7. Consider/Discuss/Action on a Resolution approving a Subdivision
Improvement Agreement for Green Meadows Subdivision by and between
the City of Anna, Texas and Lackland Calmont, Ltd. (Director of Public
Works Greg Peters)
Lackland Calmont, Ltd. is developing the Green Meadows Subdivision in the
City of Anna. The sanitary sewer for the neighborhood will flow through a new
off-site sanitary sewer main which connects to the existing Northpointe Lift
Station. As a part of the project the developer is required to upgrade some of
the equipment at the Northpointe Lift Station, including the pumps and
electrical systems.
The City is seeking to partner with the Developer to include some additional
improvements in their project scope which are not required for the
development. These items will improve the ability of the City to provide high
quality sewer services to our neighbors. The proposed additional items
include the installation of an emergency generator, SCADA system
improvements, and odor control/grease control improvements.
The Northpointe Lift Station does not currently have an on-site generator, and
when power outages occur the station stops running.
While these additional scope items are not required for the Green Meadows
Subdivision, the Developer has agreed to provide partial funding, including
50% of funding required for the generator and associated work related to the
design and installation of the generator.
The installation of an on-site generator and SCADA system improvements
will significantly improve the City's ability to maintain sewer system operation
during power outages and provide more consistent monitoring of the system.
These improvements will benefit all properties which sewer to the lift station.
The City's proposed funding of the additional improvements shall not exceed
the budgeted amount of $200,000.00. The funds will come from the Utility
Fund. If approved, the Developer is prepared to move forward with ordering
the equipment and starting the work.

8. Consider/Discuss/Action on a Resolution approving an Impact Fee
Reimbursement Agreement by and between the City of Anna, Texas, and
Pecan Grove Phase 111, Ltd. for the construction of public water system
improvements. (Director of Public Works Greg Peters)
As a part of the development of Pecan Grove Phase I II the City requested
the Developer to install 12 -inch water main improvements within the public
right-of-way of Finley Boulevard and Ferguson Boulevard. These 12 -inch
water mains were constructed in accordance with the City's Master Water
System Plan.
The 12 -inch water mains were not required for the development of Pecan
Grove Phase I 11, as there are three internal connections to 8 -inch water mains
within Pecan Grove Phase II, and the existing 8 -inch water mains are of a
sufficient size to provide water service for all of Pecan Grove Phase I 11.
However, the 12 -inch water mains are important for future development of the
surrounding area, as adjacent properties will require access to the 12 -inch
water mains installed.
City staff requested the Developer of Pecan Grove Phase I II to install the
12 -inch water mains in order to save money when compared to the cost of a
stand-alone City project, and also to lessen the scope and cost of future
roadway construction projects for Ferguson Boulevard and Finley Boulevard.
Since the water mains are shown on the City's Master Water Plan, the
Developer is subject to reimbursement through Water Impact Fees for the
cost of constructing the 12 -inch water mains, which was estimated to be
$189,593.00.
The attached agreement provides for the City to reimburse the Developer for
the actual final construction costs of the improvements, not to exceed the
estimated construction cost.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF ANNA, TEXAS APPROVING AND
AUTHORIZING AN IMPACT FEE REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT
FOR PECAN GROVE PHASE III SUBDIVISION BY AND BETWEEN

HERETO, AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
MOTION: Council Member Miller moved to approve. Council Member Vollmer
seconded. Motion carried 7-0.
9. Consider/Discuss/Action on a Resolution amending and restating an
existing agreement related to West Foster Crossing Road. (Director of
Public Works Greg Peters)
West Foster Crossing Road is an existing 2 -lane asphalt road which borders
Pecan Grove Phase 2 and Pecan Grove Phase 4. The developers of these
subdivisions entered into an impact fee reimbursement agreement for the
construction of their portion of the required roadway improvements in 2017.
Since that time the developers have been working with adjacent property
owners who are impacted by the proposed roadway improvements.
Improving West Foster crossing road is a very important project for the City,
as vehicular traffic is continuing to increase due to many new Anna residents
moving to the area. In addition, the road is included in the City's Thoroughfare
Plan as a minor collector.
In accordance with State Law and the City's Impact Fee Analysis, the
developers are eligible for reimbursement of roadway impact fees for
construction of their portion of the roadway improvements.
The developers are working to finalize an agreement with the last affected
adjacent property as they also work toward completing the public
improvements within Pecan Grove Phase 2, 3, and 4.
The attached amended and restated agreement addresses two specific
items:
1. Provides for the ability of the developers to initiate an escrow agreement or
performance bond related to the roadway improvements if they are unable to
reach an agreement with the adjacent property owner.
2. Provides for updated construction costs of the roadway improvements.
The amended and re -stated agreement allows the City to use the escrowed
funds or performance bond to construct the roadway improvements within 5
years. This is beneficial to the City, as it allows the City to move forward with
roadway improvements in the event the developers are unable to construct
the project. If the funds are not used within 5 years, then all funds are returned
to the developers.
The amended and restated agreement is beneficial to the developers
because it provides them with the ability to keep their private development
projects moving forward if they are unable to come to terms with the adjacent
property owner.
The proposed amended and restated agreement is consistent with the City of
Anna Subdivision Ordinance, and therefore is recommended by City staff for
approval.

10. Consider/Discuss/Action on a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to
implement the Employee Compensation Plan, providing for a Step Plan for
Police employees, a Step Plan for Fire employees, and an open range plan
for all general employees and management employees. (H.R. Manager
Stephanie Beitelschies)
As a part of the adopted Strategic Plan, staff was directed to determine a pay
plan to address employee compensation. As such staff engaged a consultant
firm, Johansen Group, to survey the comparable market cities in Collin
County with the intent on developing pay ranges and format, providing a
recommendation for a pay structure for all employees.
As a part of this process the consultant reviewed all existing job descriptions,
completed the market analysis, surveyed 12 cities in Collin County to
establish the pay ranges based on market conditions for comparable work,
and determined an efficient method by which the staff could administer the
process going forward.
The surveyed cities included Melissa, Princeton, Fairview, Wylie, Sachse,
Murphy, Frisco, Allen, Celina, Prosper, and McKinney. Collin County was
included but was unresponsive to the request for information.
As a part of the analysis it was determined that several key indicators were
identified as follows:
- Generally Anna was at the bottom of the market of the cities surveyed, where
positions under $70,000 (a majority of our positions) were the lowest paid
- 2 employees were topped out in their ranges
- 5 employees were improperly graded and would be reclassified
- 12 employees were well within their respective pay ranges and would not be
adjusted
- 28 employees were significantly below pay ranges and would be brought
into range - the balance of the remaining employees were in the lower of the
first quartile of their pay ranges and would receive adjustments
- several internal inequities were determined and would be adjusted to ensure
tenure and compensable factors were adequately and thoroughly reviewed
- Fire Department did not have a Step Plan; Step Plans are typical for public
safety departments
- Police Department had a step plan but it was not in alignment with market
conditions, did not have a lateral entry program, did not have a consistent
policy for top out consistent with the organization past practice
- Application of merit pay would be revised to ensure it was earned
The goals of implementation were set as follows:
- Establish target ranges on the market scales, setting Anna in alignment with
the market based upon comparable factors. The 15th percentile was chosen
placing us ahead of the cities of Melissa, Princeton, Sachse, and general
market data cities of similar size and comparable to and on par with Celina.
- Ensure all job descriptions were properly graded based upon compensable
factors and internal equity issues were addressed.
- Ensure all staff below grade were brought to minimum grade.
- Provide Step Plan for Public Safety Departments. - Provide a lateral hiring
plan for public safety as a recruitment tool for acquiring experienced
employees commensurate with experience and market conditions.
- Provide Open Range Plan for all non-public safety and management
employees
- Provide a management system that the City Manager or designee could
administer easily for the purpose of hiring, firing, reclassifying, promoting,
creating of job descriptions, and retaining and recruiting of staff, under the
authority and direction of the City Manager.
The grading system utilized is comprehensive system that weight the
compensable factors that can be applied to any job to determine job value.
The compensable factors are noted as follows:
Factor 1: Experience -General
Factor 2: Experience -Management
Factor 3: Education
Factor 4: Initiative & Ingenuity
Factor 5: Mental Demand
Factor 6: Analytical Ability & Problem Solving
Factor 7: Responsibilities for Work of Others
Factor 8: Responsibilities for Funds, Property, etc.
Factor 9: Responsibilities for Accuracy
Factor 10: Accountabilities & End Results
Factor 11: Contacts with Public
Factor 12: Contacts with Employees
Factor 13: Machine & Computer Operations
Factor 14: Working Conditions & Hazards
Factor 15: Physical Demands
With the approval of the Fiscal Year 2020 Budget, the City Manager is
implementing the Employee Compensation Plan as presented herein,
providing for an operational policy/practice to administer this plan.
