ITEM 1 PUBLIC HEARING, GRAPEVINE HERITAGE FOUNDATION
Mayor Tate stated the special public hearing meeting was being held in regard to the
Grapevine Heritage Foundation and to consider the proposed resolution for recommended
changes to the Heritage Foundation By-laws. He stated the City Council is interested in
the comments of all those present to address issues of concerns regarding the Heritage
Foundation.
Mayor Tate declared the public h�aring open.
City Manager Nelson stated the Grapevine Heritage Foundation (the Foundation) was
created by Resolution No. 90-17 with a membership of seven, membership was expanded
06/29/98
by four by the adoption of Resolution No. 92-35, and Resolution No. 95-15 established the
Convention & Visitors Bureau Director as the Chief Executive Officer with specific
responsibilities to the Heritage Foundation. Mr. Nelson briefly reviewed the contract
entered into on December 17, 1991 by the City of Grapevine and the Foundation whereby
the City agreed to provide certain staff, office space, financial management support and
specific services in conjunction with festivals and other Foundation activities. It was noted
that the City also agreed that the City's hotel/motel tax funds would fund various festivals
and similar activities of the Foundation. Mr. Nelson reported that the City currently
supports the Foundation at approximately $583,000.00. It was stated that in return for the
City's support, the Foundation agreed to coordinate festivals and other events promoting
Grapevine's heritage, as well as agreeing to abide by the purchasing requirements of the
City, to maintain funds in a separate account, to provide a fidelity bond and to have the
financial records of the Foundation audited during the City's annual audit. He stated the
contract is reviewed annually for an additional 12 month period by the submission of a
proposed budget and it is considered renewed for a 12 month period with City Council
approval of that proposed budget.
City Manager Roger Nelson reviewed the proposed resolution that would clarify several
issues surrounding the Grapevine Heritage Foundation and establish a clear reporting
structure for the Heritage Foundation. The proposed resolution requests the Foundation
Advisory Board to make the following changes to its by-laws: appoint the City Manager as
the Chief Executive Officer, establish a permanent voting position on the Advisory Board
for the Convention &Visitors Bureau Director, any changes to the Foundation by-laws will
require City Council approval, the Foundation cannot be dissolved without City Council
approval, the Foundation annual budget shall be reviewed and approved by the City
Council, the Foundation will comply with all of the financial policies and procedures of the
City and the City Manager will be a co-signer on all Heritage Foundation checks, all real
estate transactions will require City Council approval and a property committee shall be
created to advise the CEO on the management of all Heritage Foundation properties.
City Manager Nelson introduced Mr. Tommy Lawler, partner of Weaver & Tidwell,
independent auditors, who briefly explained the differences between a balance sheet audit
and a full audit. Mr. Lawler stated the Foundation Board had determined the balance sheet
audit would meet their needs at a more reasonable cost than a full audit. Both types of
audits are governed by the same auditing standards and are divided into three
components: planning, perFormance and reporting. Mr. Lawler stated his firm offered a
clean opinion on the balance sheet audit of the Foundation.
Mayor Tate stated the Heritage Foundation properties belong to the people of the
community. The City Council appoints the Foundation Board of Directors, the Foundation
Board of Directors adopts and amends their by-laws and the City Council makes
recommendations to the Foundation Board for changes to their by-laws. He stated the
Foundation Board is a governing board under 501 (c) (3) but serves as an advisory board
to the City Council and Convention &Visitors Bureau. The Foundation serves to unite and
support Grapevine in the understanding, research, preservation, restoration, promotion,
2

06/29/98
appreciation, care and use of Grapevine's physical and cultural heritage; promote
preservation through appropriate business and visitor uses of historic structures and sites;
and, demonstrates the importance of Grapevine's heritage to local citizens and visitors,
both present and future. He stated that people do not have to be a Board member to
support historic preservation of Grapevine. Mayor Tate noted there has been an army of
volunteers over the years that have served to preserve Grapevine's heritage and he
commended their dedication to their community.
Mayor Tate stated the City Council has to represent the people of the community and has
to be good stewards of its funds. One challenge will be the Foundation's contract
negotiations during the annual budget process. He stated there are no guarantees
festivals will continue to generate funds as they have in the past and there is no assurance
that the pubic opinion in the City will allow funds and services to be contributed to the
Foundation as they have in the past. He noted the Foundation has not presented a plan
to the City Council as to how the Foundation could become autonomous and it appears to
the City Council that the Foundation will become more dependent in the future. He stated
that if there is a plan for autonomy, it should be presented to the City Council prior to
renewing the annual contract.
Mayor Tate requested the City Secretary to read the following letters into the record:
----------=----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Honorable Mayor Bill Tate
Distinguished Members of the City Council
City Manager and Staff
Grapevine Citizens
Members of the Press and
Other Interested Parties:
Good evening to each of you.
As President, of the Convention and Visitors Bureau Board, I am very sorry that I'm unable
to be with you at this public hearing. However a business commitment, out of the country,
prohibits the same. Still my best wishes are with you to have a very successful and
productive hearing. It's most important for the City of Grapevine.
If I were present, there would be a couple of points that I feel should be made. So, in
absentee, I'll do my very best to convey them to you in the form of this letter.
1. Long before the concept of the Foundation Board was ever presented to the City
Council, the Convention and Visitors Bureau staff and board members worked on the basic
idea, the concept, the goals and need for such a group. We realized that such a body
would need to have community commitment and pride, to have respect and contacts within
Grapevine and the surrounding municipalities, and to have a genuine interest in preserving
3
46l29/98
Grapevine's past with a clear vision to the future.
Since we realized that the success or failure of such a board would depend iargeiy on CVB
support (bath mone#ary and labor wise}, it was our original pian (and full intention}, that this
new Board would report to the CVB Board through the CVB Executive Director. i.e. An
advisory board which reported #a an advisorv board. You can't get much more advisory
than that! At na time did we ever envision that this newly created board would have full
autanomy. We recognized early an the need for a nonprofit, thus#he 501 (c} {3), but again,
it was never intended ta operate as a stand alone or outside ofi the normal Ci#y of
Grapevine channels. It's success depended on the suppart of the City of Grapevine as
a full and highly visible backer. There were changes made to the status of the Foundation
Board a few years later. However, just how ar who might be respansible for trying to taint
the Crty of Grapevine to Foundation Board relationship, I can't say. It is unfartunate, but
' hopefully tonight you will be able to get back on the right track.
;
2. I mentian in the paragraph above, that we as a CVB Board, realized that the new
Foundation Board wauld depend heavily on the CVB for monetary and staff support. We
made a full presentation to our hotels (our funding source) to explain the Foundation
cancept, our relationship wi#h this new board and ask for their support on the basic concept
for a period of two years. We also advised our funding sources, that we anticipated that
festivals, grants, memberships, etc., once estabiished, would allow us to reduce #he
amount of money committed and have it returned to marketing pragrams. Much to my
apprehension, the reverse is#rue. The CVB is now fur�ding the Foundation Board to record
highs.
To the opposite of what has been published lately, there are deep concerns with how some
af the Faundation Baard Funds haue been spent. Not by individual baard members, nar
the accounting af the same, but by an ex-employee and specifically to certain projects.
Because the GVB Board is respansible ta aur funding sources and the City Council, we
have appointed a task force on #he CVB Baard to review many af these expenditures and
work performance per expenditure. We will have a report forth coming. As you can
imagine, there are many arganizations, groups and good causes that would like to have
access to additional funds we might have available if Foundation expenditures were
reduced. To continue funding the Foundation at present levels, with several outstanding
questions would not be fiscally respansible on our part.
Further, the CVB is charged with selling the City of Grapevine, filling the roams of our
hatels and bringing in out of town visitors. Some members of the Foundation Board, past
and present, have chosen to criticize, find fault, tear down, destroy, disassemble,
undermine and dissect what many have warked cauntless hours to build. Some have even
written the press with half-truths or falsehoods for their own recognition or self pity at the
expense of#he City of Grapevine. This childish regard of ones-self needs to stop.
Candidly, 1 feel certain, that the Faundation Board taday, under the leadership of its
president and its newly appointed council liaison, coupled with newly appointed and
4
.. `f�.
06/29/98
existing members, has what it takes to turn the polarization and destructive tide around.
The Mayor and City Council have listened and spent time beyond reason on Foundation
issues. With rare exception, the citizens of Grapevine love their city. It's time to put
personal and often small minded malice behind us. We need to stand shoulder-to-shoulder
and get on with the program. Neighboring cities who once envied our course now find
humor in our discord. We are better than this and need to show it!
Sincerely,
Don Bigbie

Re: Grapevine Heritage Foundation
Dear Mayor Tate:
As you are aware, TexasBank made a significant pledge in the 1997 Capital Campaign to
raise funds for renovation of the Palace Theatre. Several parties, including members of
the press, have asked me to comment on our level of commitment to that pledge given the
recent publicity surrounding board and/or management changes at the Foundation. I
would like the record to reflect that bank management has received no evidence at this
time which would prompt us to second guess our financial support of the Palace Theater
project.
We, as any other donor, are concerned with three fundamental issues. First, will the
Heritage Foundation's 501(c)(3) non-profit status remain intact. Second, are proceeds of
pledges to the Capital Campaign being set aside specifically (i.e.. "designated") for use in
renovating the Palace Theatre. Third, will the project be completed in a reasonable period
of time. As long as the answers to these questions are affirmative I believe most, if not all,
donors will remain true to the cause.
I hope my comments will help clarify the position of TexasBank. Please feel free to contact
me directly should you have further questions or comments.

Mayor Tate invited guests present to comment regarding the Grapevine Heritage
Foundation. The following persons sp�ke:
Ms. Shannon Delaney, 2000 Champagne Boulevard, read the following letter into the
record:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Grapevine City Council
200 South Main Street
Grapevine, Texas 76051
Dear Council Members:
My apologies for being unable to attend tonight's meeting. I had previously scheduled
unavoidable commitments. However, I felt it was urgent to address these issues, as recent
events have cast a shadow over Grapevine, GrapeFest, the Texas wine industry, and
Delaney Vineyards.
Delaney Vineyards exists in Grapevine today due to the efforts of hundreds of people, but
for the most part, the credit goes to Tommy Hardy, P.W. McCallum, and Mayor William D.
Tate. Meetings with these individuals led to the acquisition of land on Highway 121 and
the development of a dream. Without the hard work of them and many others, the Vintage
District would not have been created, and our winery would not have been built.
I think it is fair to say that all of northeast Tarrant County is very proud of the tasting rooms,
wineries and vineyards in their neighborhood. I would like to see letters of support from
each individual in the area sent to Mayor Tate and this Council. I ask that these letters
reflect their approval of the leadership and vision of the city of Grapevine and Grapevine
Heritage Foundation. I believe that the city and Foundation should put their differences
aside and work together as before to complete the restoration and preservation of historic
Grapevine.
I have spent millions of dollars to be a part of this dream of having numerous wineries,
tasting rooms, and vineyards in northeast Tarrant County. We must not forget the overall
picture and what has been accomplished by the hard work of so many to fulfill a dream
launched twelve years ago. P.W. McCallum has certainly been a driving force. He is a
personable, dynamic and energetic individual who has made a huge contribution to this
6
� }1. . A
UVl2�/�V
city, but exercised poor judgement on one occasion. Who among us is nat guilty of that?
Althaugh this problem originated with an error in judgement by P.W., the blame for the
currer►t predicament does not lie with him. Because of one individual's choice to invalve
local media in a situation that could have been handled quietly by city officials, the
reputations of Grapevine, the Heritage Founda#ion, and Delaney Vineyards have been
damaged. This is inexcusable. I recommend that this individual move from this city.
Grapevine boasts of many assets inciuding outstanding leadership and admirable goais.
It should rid itself of any elected or appointed official who would try to undermine another's
achievements far personal gain. Irreparable harm has been done, and this is totaliy
unacceptable.
The loss of Mr. McCallum would leave a tremendous void in this city, and a change in the
current arrangement between the Council and the Heritage Foundatian would only diminish
the effectiveness of the partnership. We must unify tonight and allaw our elected officials,
donors, and volunteers to con#inue the work started over a decade ago. My strong
recommendations are as follows:
1} These issues be resalved and closed tonight.
2} We voice a unanimous shaw of suppart far P.W. McCallum and express
our apalogies to he and his family for the undeserved humiliation they
have suffered.
Thank you for the opportunit}r to address this meeting.
Respecifully submitted,
Jerry R. Delaney
President, Delaney Vineyards

Ms. Melva Stanfield, 318 Pebble Brook, Chairman of the Foundation Board of Directors,

Foundation's Chief Executive Officer's responsibilities and authority. There were concerns
expressed by the Foundation Board that the CEO was not bringing items to the Board for
consideration regarding certain activities, properties, and business of the Foundation. The
Board felt this should be done according to the by-laws, 501 (c) (3) application, the City
contract and the City's Boards and Commissions Handbook. It was noted that a majority
of the Board felt that due to the 501 (c)(3) status and fiduciary responsibilities, the Board

and questioned why changes are being proposed to address the operating composition of
the Foundation. He expressed concern that the proposed changes infer that there have
been problems with the Foundation Board's ability to manage the Foundation.
Mr. Bobby G. Smith, 416 East College Street, stated that the CounciPs vision for the City

Mr. Mark Maness, 2107 Ballantrae Drive, Colleyville, addressed the City Council regarding
volunteers and volunteer spirit. He stated he resigned the Foundation Board due to issues

concerns being expressed.
Mr. Cy Holley, 120 Oakmont Drive, Trophy Club, commended the City Council for
