WORK SESSION
WSL Project Updates.
Staff Comments
Assistant Director Brent Stowers updated board members on some of the larger departmental projects.
He advised that the City's Purchasing staff are in the process of writing up contract documents for the dog
park project after City Council approved a project bid on May 30" from general contractor RLM EarthCo
Construction whose bid came in well below the City's budget.
Mr. Stowers stated that during that same May 301h meeting, City Council rejected the one and only bid
submitted for the two splash pad projects. It was determined that this bid was not considered fair and
reasonable, coming in much higher than the City had budgeted for. Mr. Stowers assured the Board that the
splash pad projects will continue to move forward without using a general contractor, with staff instead
pursuing quotes from several BuyBoard vendors.
Board Comments
Board Member Allen asked if pursuing individual vendors and not utilizing services from a general
contractor for the splash pad projects would affect the construction warranties. Mr. Stowers responded that
all individual BuyBoard vendors used to construct the splash pads will include the same warranty standards
as a general contractor; however, a maintenance bond could be required for any utility work within the
project.
Staff Comments
Mr. Stowers advised that the Founders Park renovation, the Community Park restroom, and the Welcome
Center at the Brown House restroom projects are still in the planning phases. At this time, staff is in the
process of negotiating changes to the conceptual design and pursuing quotes from vendors.
Regarding the Senior Recreation Center renovation, the project's conceptual design and scope of work are in
their final stages, and staff is moving forward with the job order contracting.
Staff is pursuing separate vendors for the Pickle Ball project who will be selected to do the concrete, fencing,
surfacing, and nets. Construction is expected to begin within the summer of 2023.
WS2. Summer Events.
Staff Comments
Director Carmen Powlen gave feedback on the successful Summer Kick -Off event stating that over 3,000
participants attended, resulting in a sales increase of 70 percent; over $1.0,000 was netted during that
weekend alone. The event included a mini -train on the Municipal Trail, a foam party, DJs, a clown, bounce
houses, a touch -a -truck segment, a meet and greet with camp instructors, and vendor participation from Kona
Ice and the In and Out Burger franchise. Activities occurred inside and outside the Recreation Center and the
Rita Smith Public Library.

Ms. Powlen advised that the IOth Annual Bluegrass on Ballard Event is scheduled for Saturday, June 24d'°
from 10:00 am to 9:00 pm in the Historic Downtown Wylie. 9,000 attendees, half of whom live outside of
the City of Wylie, are expected to attend this event. A car show, arts and crafts vendors, children's activities,
and fair food will all be offered, with the downtown area shops remaining open during the event. Blue Grass
on Ballard is being sponsored by the City of Wylie, the Downtown Merchants Association, the Bluegrass
Heritage Foundation, and many other sponsors. The Parks and Recreation Department staff will maintain the
grounds, supervise inflatables, and offer popsicles at the Welcome Center at the Brown House.
Ms. Powlen stated that the City is hosting a 17-minute firework show at 9:45 pm on Sunday, July 2" d, in the
Founders Park area adjacent to the Wylie Independent School District (WISD) Agriculture Barn. Patrons
wanting to view the firework show are encouraged to do so from the East Meadow Trail area, parking at the
Municipal Complex parking lot and the Collin County Community College parking lot. WISD's Cooper
Junior High School and Draper Intermediate School parking lots will be available for parking for citizens
preferring to watch the fireworks show in Founders Park.
Board Comments
Board Vice -Chair Suarez inquired about what prompted the City to host a firework show this year after going
without one for so many years. Ms. Powlen explained that the City Council decided to host the event after
funds became available from not having a 2023 election.
WS3. Ethiopian Soccer Tournament Discussion.
Staff Comments:
Director Powlen encouraged the Board to access the May 30`l' City Council Meeting on the City website to
clarify the Ethiopian Soccer Tournament event details and to gain answers to many of the questions and
concerns the Board expressed during the previous Parks and Recreation Board meeting. Ms. Powlen
specified that the $100,000 donation to the Ethiopian Sports Federation in North America (ESFNA) from the
City of Wylie included staffing, supplies, and other related expenses.
Board Comments
Board Vice -Chair Suarez asked for more details regarding capacity limits for the Ethiopian Soccer
Tournament. Ms. Powlen responded that the WISD, whom the ESFNA is working with, established capacity
limits.
WS4. July Board Nominations
Staff Comments:
Mr. Stowers reminded the Board that Chair and Vice -Chair nominations will occur during the July 10th

The Basics of Robert's Rules of Order
http://gsa.uusa.vt.edu/roberts rules/Roberts Rules.html
General Order of Meetings
1. Call to Order
2. Approval of Minutes
3. Officers Reports
4. Unfinished (Old) Business
5. New Business

7. Presiding officer states results of vote and resulting action.
Members may "call the question" to end discussion on the motion if discussion seems to be dragging
on or becoming redundant; however, it is NOT acceptable to call the question in order to prevent
someone from expressing their opinion or while someone is speaking. If a member calls the question,
a second and a 2/3 majority vote are required (no discussion) to close discussion and proceed to
voting on the motion.
Procedure to Amend a Motion
During discussion, it may become apparent that an amendment (modification) to the original motion is
necessary. Anyone may request to amend the original motion, but the proposed amendment must be

ARTICLE IV. PARKLAND DEDICATION
Sec. 78-71. Purpose of article.
(a) This article is adopted to provide recreational areas in the form of municipal
parks as a function of subdivision development in the city. This article is enacted in
accordance with the home rule powers of the city, granted under the state
constitution, and the statutes of the state including, but not by way of limitation,
V.T.C.A., Local Government Code § 54.004, and ch. 212. It is hereby declared by
the city council that recreational areas in the form of municipal parks are
necessary and in the public welfare, and that the only adequate procedure to
provide for municipal parks is by integrating such a requirement into the procedure
for planning and developing property or subdivision in the city, whether such
development consists of new construction on vacant land or rebuilding and
remodeling of structures on existing residential property.
0711012023 Item WS1.
(b) Municipal parks are those parks providing for a variety of outdoor
recreational opportunities and within convenient distances from a majority of the
residences to be served thereby. The park zones established by the parks and
recreation department and shown on the official parks and recreation map for the
city shall be prima facie proof that any park located therein is within such a
convenient distance from any residence located therein. The primary cost of
municipal parks should be borne by the ultimate residential property owners who,
by reason of the proximity of their property to such parks, shall be the primary
beneficiaries of such facilities. Therefore, this article is adopted to effect the
purposes stated.
(Ord. No. 87-15, § 1, 1-27-1987; Code 1991, ch. 1, § 9.01; Code 1997, § 78-106)
Sec. 78-72. Dedication procedures.
(a) Whenever a final plat is filed on record with the county clerk of Collin, Dallas
or Rockwall County for development of a residential area in accordance with the
subdivision, planning and zoning ordinances of the city, such plat shall contain a
clear fee simple dedication of an area of land to the city for park purposes, which
area shall equal five acres for each 100 proposed dwelling units.
(b) The city council declares that development of an area smaller than five
acres for public park purposes is impractical. Therefore, if fewer than 100 units are
proposed by a plat filed for approval, the developer may be required to pay the
applicable cash in lieu of land amount provided by section 78-73(c), rather than to
dedicate any land area. No plat showing a dedication for park purposes of less
than five acres shall be approved unless such plat and dedication is recommended
for approval by the city parks and recreation board and subsequently approved by
the city council.
(c) In all other instances, the city shall have the right to accept the dedication
for approval on the final plat, or to refuse the dedication, after consideration of the
recommendation of the planning and zoning commission and the parks and
recreation board, and to require payment of cash in lieu of land in the amount
provided by section 78-73(c), if the city determines that sufficient park area is
already in the public domain in the area of the proposed development, or if the
recreation potential for that zone would be better served by expanding or
improving existing parks.
(Ord. No. 2004-01, § 2, 1-13-2004)
Sec. 78-73. Money in lieu of land.
(a) Subject to approval of the city council, a land owner responsible for
dedication under this article may elect to meet the requirements of section 78-72,
0711012023 Item WS1.
in whole or in part, by a fee payment in lieu of land, in the amount set forth in
subsection (c) of this section. Such payment in lieu of land shall be made at or
prior to the time of final plat approval. Nonpayment of fee shall constitute grounds
sufficient to deny approval of proposed plat.
(b) The city may, from time to time, decide to purchase land for parks in or near
the area of actual or potential development. If the city does purchase park land in
a park zone, subsequent park land dedications for that zone may be required to be
in cash only, and calculated to reimburse the city's actual cost of acquisition and
development of such land for parks. The fee amount shall be set out in the fee
schedule in appendix C to this Code. Once the city has been reimbursed entirely
for all such park land within a park zone, this section shall cease to apply, and the
other subsections shall again be applicable.
(c) To the extent that subsection (b) of this section is not applicable, the
dedication requirement shall be met by a payment of cash, in lieu of dedication of
land, at a per acre price set from time to time by resolution by the city council,
sufficient to acquire land and provide for adjacent streets and utilities for a
municipal park to serve the park zone in which such development is located or to
improve or expand existing park land in the park zone. Unless changed by the city
council, such per acre price shall be based on a fee as set out in the fee schedule
located in appendix C to this Code. Cash payments may be used only for
acquisition or improvement of a municipal park located within the same zone as
the development, or, upon recommendation of the park board and approval of the
city council, funds from any and all park zones may be combined for special
purposes with or without the option to reimburse the contributing zones.
(Ord. No. 2004-01, § 3, 1-13-2004)
Sec. 78-74. Comprehensive plan considerations.
The city shall create and maintain a master park plan for the city and its
extraterritorial jurisdiction. The city shall further designate the size of the parks and
the zones which are to be supportive of these parks. Dedication of park land shall
be in accordance with the master plan. The city will determine, the park location
based on land suitability. This plan may be, from time to time, updated and
amended at the pleasure of the approving authorities and as the review of
proposed plats for development within those zones.
(Ord. No. 2004-01, § 4, 1-13-2004)
Sec. 78-75. Park acquisition and improvement fund; right to refund.
(a) There is hereby established a special fund for the deposit of all sums paid
in lieu of land dedication under this article or any preceding article or any
preceding ordinance, which fund shall be known as the park acquisition and
improvement fund. Such fund may be subdivided to create as many separate
funds as become necessary in order to ensure that all funds are separated by park
0711012023 Item WS1.
zone and spent wholly and completely within such park zone. Upon
recommendation of the park board and approval of the city council, funds from any
and all park zones may be combined for special purposes. Each fund shall be
separately audited in the annual audit of the city and shall be available for public
review.
(b) The city shall account for all sums paid in lieu of land dedication under this
article with reference to individual plats involved. Any funds paid for such purposes
must be expended by the city within five years from the date received by the city
for acquisition or development of a municipal park. Such funds shall be considered
to be spent on a first in, first out basis. If not so expended, the owners of the
property, on the last day of such period, shall be entitled to a pro-rata refund of
such sum computed on a square footage of area basis. The owners of such
property must request such refund within one year of entitlement, in writing, or
such right shall be barred.
(c) When residential developments occur in phases, all phases of the
development shall meet applicable dedication requirements. If land dedication is to
occur in a latter phase of the overall development, the dedication requirement for
the initial phases shall be met by placing funds into an escrow account as directed
by the city upon acceptance of each phase by the city. When the actual land
dedication occurs, the escrowed funds plus interest shall be returned to the
depositor. The depositor must request such refund within one year of entitlement,
in writing, or such right shall be barred. If land dedication does not occur within five
years of completion of the initial phase of the overall development, the escrowed
funds plus interest shall be forfeited by the depositor and the funds shall become
the property of the city.
(Ord. No. 2004-01, § 5, 1-13-2004)
Sec. 78-76. Additional requirements.
(a) Any land dedicated to the city under this article must be suitable for park
and recreation uses. The following characteristics of a proposed area are
generally unsuitable:
(1) Any area primarily located in the 100-year floodplain.
(2) Any areas of unusual topography or slope which renders same unusable for
organized recreational activities.
Such characteristics of a park land dedication area may be grounds for refusal of
any preliminary plat. The city parks and recreation board shall consider the
usability of any proposed dedications of land in the 100-year floodplain or in any
easement on a case -by -case basis. The board's recommendation to accept or
deny the proposed dedication shall be forwarded to the city council with supporting
justification explaining the recommendation.
F42]
0711012023 Item WS1.
(b) Land that is deemed to be unsuitable by the city parks and recreation board
as listed in subsection (a) of this section may be accepted by the city council,
provided that suitable land in the proper amount is dedicated which is contiguous
with the unsuitable land.
(c) Drainage areas may be accepted as part of a park if the channel is
constructed in accordance with city engineering standards, and if no significant
area of the park is cut off from access by such channel.
(d) Each park must have ready access to a public street.
(e) Unless provided otherwise in this section, an action by the city shall be by
the city council, after consideration of the recommendations of the planning and
zoning commission and the parks and recreation board and its recommendation to
the city council.

Sec. 78-77. Minimum park improvements.
In cases where land dedication is chosen, the following minimum criteria must be
adhered to by the developer, at the developer expense, prior to acceptance of the
improvements by the city:
(1) Grading and clearing of unwanted vegetation, to be determined by the city;
(2) Installation of sub -grade drainage. No open drainage channels will be
permitted on land being dedicated for park purposes;
(3) Provision of water and sewer service to the site; and
(4) Provision of adequate accessibility from the adjacent public street in
compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and as approved by the
city park and recreation staff.
(Ord. No. 2004-01, § 6, 1-13-2004)
Sec. 78-78. Biennial review.
Prior to one year after the effective date of this ordinance, the park board shall
review the park land dedication ordinance and make any recommendations for
revision to the city council. Thereafter, at least once every two years, the park
board shall review the park land dedication ordinance and make any
recommendations for revision to the city council.
