Council also directed staff to cancel the July 13, November 23, and December 28
meetings.
3. UPDATE ON CITY COUNCIL GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND PROJECTS.
City Manager Paulette Hartman presented an update on the City's Strategic Plan,
highlighting progress since the August 2025 planning session. A dashboard was created
to track staffs progress. Of the 74 objectives established, approximately 92% are active
or completed, with only 7% not yet started. High and medium priority objectives continue
to receive the most focus, including ongoing initiatives related to public safety,
operational excellence, neighborhood revitalization, and community engagement in
budget development. The City Manager's Office maintains oversight through regular
departmental check-ins and snapshot reporting to ensure accountability and consistent
progress.
4. PRELIMINARY BUDGET CALENDAR& OBJECTIVES.
Director of Budget and Research Chase Fosse presented preliminary objectives for the
Fiscal Year 2027 budget and the upcoming budget calendar. Key priorities include
addressing revenue challenges - Business Personal Property (BPP) exemption changes,
fee adjustments with a focus on cost recovery, and economic development investments to
grow future revenue - as well as developing long-term strategies for the General Fund
and Debt Service Fund. The BPP exemption change is projected to reduce taxable value
by $60.1 million, resulting in an estimated $290,000 revenue loss at the current tax rate.
Additional initiatives for the Fiscal Year 2027 budget include a fleet replacement funding
plan and efficiency improvements. The budget calendar highlights major milestones from
the March budget kickoff through September adoption, including a special work session
on July 31 at the NRH Grand Hall and public hearings in August and September.
5. DISCUSS DESTINATION MARKETING SPECIFIC TO NORTH RICHLAND
HILLS.
Director of Economic Development Craig Hulse and Economic Development Analyst
Elizabeth Copeland presented a proposal to establish a Destination Marketing
Organization (DMO) for North Richland Hills to promote tourism and diversify the city's
tax base. The presentation highlighted North Richland Hills growing status as a destination
with numerous attractions, events, and upcoming hotels, emphasizing the opportunity to
leverage hotel occupancy tax revenue. The proposed program includes developing a
strategy, to include a program start-up in Fiscal Year 2026, launching marketing and

advertising efforts in Fiscal Year 2027, and allocating at least two-thirds of the proposed
program budget to promotional activities. Key benefits include increased visitor spending,
expanded commercial tax revenue, and reduced reliance on property taxes. Funding
options discussed were hotel occupancy tax reserves and potential future formation of a
Tourism Public Improvement District (TPID). Staff recommended proceeding with
program start-up in Fiscal Year 2026 to enable full implementation in Fiscal Year 2027
and suggested forming an advisory committee.
6. DISCUSS CLOSING A PORTION OF COLORADO BOULEVARD TO
THROUGH TRAFFIC.
Assistant City Manager Caroline Waggoner presented an overview of Colorado
Boulevard and its role as a local residential street connecting Harwood Road and
Boulevard 26. She reviewed the street's development history, citizen concerns regarding
speeding, high traffic volumes, and commercial traffic, and noted that speed cushions
were installed in 2018 as a traffic calming measure. Traffic data indicated an increase in
volumes over time, with significant bypass traffic observed in October 2025, primarily
northbound. A neighborhood survey showed strong support for closure among Colorado
Boulevard residents (14 of 21 responses), while adjacent streets expressed minimal
support. Reasons cited for supporting closure included improved safety and reduced
cut-through traffic, while opposition focused on emergency access and
convenience/access to Harwood and Boulevard 26.
7. DISCUSS A CITY ETHICS POLICY AND COUNCIL RULES OF PROCEDURE.
City Secretary/Chief Governance Officer Alicia Richardson presented an overview of
ethics policies and council governance practices, including research on ten Texas cities
and common elements such as complaint procedures, tiered sanctions, and annual
ethics training. The benefits of adopting a formal ethics ordinance are to promote public
trust, clarify expectations for elected officials, and reinforce legal compliance. Council
discussed whether to codify the current "House Rules" into an ordinance, its applicability
to elected and appointed officials, and the City Council's role as the final authority for
enforcement. The consensus of City Council supports formalizing an ethics policy and
agreed to proceed with drafting an ordinance that incorporates the current "House
Rules". Staff was also directed to bring back an item at the next meeting to ratify the
Mayor's selection to appoint an ad-hoc council committee comprised of Council
members Danny Roberts, Russ Mitchell, and Cecille Delaney. The ad-hoc council
committee will work with staff to prepare a draft ordinance for consideration by the City
Council. Direction was given to include a process for complaint handling, enforcement
provisions, tiered sanctions, training requirements, and rules of procedure for meetings.
FUTURE AGENDA ITEM(S)
There were no requests from City Council for future agenda items.
