City Council had no questions for staff.  
2. DISCUSS 2026 CITY COUNCIL MEETING SCHEDULE.  
City Secretary/Chief Governance Office Alicia Richardson reviewed the proposed 2026  
City Council meeting schedule. Staff recommends the May 11 meeting be rescheduled to  
May 13 to canvass the election results of the city's general election and the May 25  
meeting (Memorial Day) be rescheduled to May 26. There was no opposition from City  
Council. The proposed 2026 City Council meeting schedule includes the budget work  
session on July 31. Lastly, the City Council traditionally directs staff to cancel the second  
meetings in November and December.  
City Council directed staff to reschedule May 11 to May 13 and May 25 to May 26. City  
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 staff's 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.  
DISCUSS DESTINATION MARKETING SPECIFIC TO NORTH RICHLAND  
HILLS.  
5.  
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.  
DISCUSS CLOSING  
THROUGH TRAFFIC.  
A
PORTION OF COLORADO BOULEVARD TO  
6.  
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.  
CITY MANAGER REPORT PROVIDING AN UPDATE ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF  
SHORT-TERM RENTAL ORDINANCE AND REGISTRATION PROCESS
