AGENDA REPORT
Department: Finance Account Code:
Prepared By: Melissa Brown
Subject
Consider, and act upon, Ordinance No. 2025-30 amending Wylie’s Code of Ordinances, Ordinance No. 2021-17 as amended,
Appendix A (Comprehensive Fee Schedule), Section I (Water and Sewer Fees), Subsection B (Water Rates), and Subsection
C (Sewage Collection and Treatment Rates).
Recommendation
Motion to approve the Item as presented.
Discussion
On July 22, 2025, Council approved the water and sewer rate study prepared by NewGen Strategies & Solutions. The study
incorporated the Water and Sewer Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) for five years, outstanding debt service and future bond
issuances, the estimated wholesale water rate increases and sewer treatment increases from the North Texas Municipal Water
District, the transfer to the general fund, and future utility fund staffing needs. The study showed current water and sewer
rates would be insufficient to meet financial targets from FY2027 onward. Two scenarios were presented for Council’s
consideration. Scenario 1 was a level increase in sewer rates of 5.15% for water and wastewater. Scenario 2 had a higher
increase in sewer rates of 6.5% and a water rate increase of 3.5%. Council chose Scenario 1 and the attached ordinance
incorporates the 5.15% increase for water and sewer rates.
The FY2026 proposed budget is based on a water rate increase of 5.15% and a wastewater increase of 5.15%. Staff
recommends approval of the ordinance.

Prepared By: Brent Stowers
Subject
Consider, and act upon, the approval of Professional Services Project Order (PSPO) #W2025-129 for engineering and
professional services related to Founders Park Parking Improvements for the Parks and Recreation Department, to be provided
by Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. in the estimated amount of $176,500.00, and authorize the City Manager to execute all
necessary documents.
Recommendation
Motion to approve the Item as presented.
Discussion
The Parks and Recreation Department seeks approval from the City Council to award Kimley -Horn and Associates, Inc., a
contract for the development of professional engineering plans for Founders Park Parking Improvements.
Due to the popularity of youth leagues in Wylie, the athletic fields at Founders Park serve thousands of young athletes ;
however, the existing parking lots cannot accommodate multiple events at once. This often results in illegal or unsafe parking
along roadsides and in undesignated areas, creating safety hazards for pedestrians and vehicles, as well as damage to park
grounds and fixtures. Expanding parking capacity will help reduce these risks, improve overall park safety, and support
continued community participation.
In accordance with Government Code 2254, staff has completed a comprehensive review of the submittals for Category D
(Landscape Architecture), and has deemed Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. to be the most qualified for these projects.
PSPO #W2025-129 is issued under Master Agreement for Professional and Engineering Services (MAPES W2021-8-E-D).

Discussion
The Parks and Recreation Department seeks approval from the City Council to award Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. a
contract for the development of professional engineering plans for Community Park Parking Improvements.
Due to the popularity of youth leagues in Wylie, the athletic fields at Community Park serve thousands of young athletes. With
the recent addition of a pickleball court and splash pad, the park now draws even more visitors; however, the existing parking
facilities cannot support multiple events simultaneously. This often results in illegal or unsafe parking along roadsides and in
undesignated areas, posing safety hazards for pedestrians and vehicles and causing damage to park grounds and infrastructure.
Expanding parking will help reduce these risks, improve overall safety, and support increased community participation.

Consider, and act upon, the approval of the purchase of an Advanced Information Systems (AIS) server for the 911 Recording
System in the estimated amount of $101,066.00 through a cooperative purchasing contract with Motorola and authorizing the
City Manager to execute any and all necessary documents.
Recommendation
Motion to approve the Item as presented.
Discussion
The City of Wylie’s 911 Communications Center is required to record and maintain phone and radio recordings for police,
fire, and EMS. With the implementation of the new 911 Recording System, Higher Ground, we are creating a true redundancy
of all recordings. This AIS server will housed at Back-Up Dispatch at Fire Station 4 with the capabilities to record phone and
radios at both the Public Safety Building and Back-Up Dispatch.
This expense covers the purchase with Motorola for the AIS server that is needed for the Higher Ground software. The City
was awarded a state grant, Proposition 8- Next Generation 911 Service Fund (Prop 8), in April 2024 to assist emergency
communications districts (ECD) with the additional cost of NG911 implementation. These funds were received from the state
during FY 24-25 and will be used to fund the AIS server.
Staff recommends the purchase of the AIS server in the estimated amount of $101,066.00 through a cooperative purchasing
contract with Motorola through Texas DIR. The City is authorized to purchase from a cooperative purchasing program with
another local government or a local cooperative organization pursuant to Chapter 791 of the Texas Government Code and
Section 271 Subchapter F of the Local Government Code; and by doing so satisfies any State Law requiring local governments
to seek competitive bids for items.

Consider, and act upon, a donation from the Wylie Baseball Softball Association in the amount of $36,358.00 for the
installation of four (4) new scoreboards at Community Park baseball fields.
Recommendation
Motion to approve the Item as presented.
Discussion
In the spring 2024 the Wylie Baseball Softball Association reached out to the Parks and Recreation Department about
replacing the four (4) scoreboards at the baseball fields located at Community Park. The Association agreed that they would
pay for the materials as a donation if the Department would install the new boards.
The Department agreed that the scoreboards needed to be replaced. City Council approved a budget amendment in April
2024 to utilize up to $45,000 from the Acquisition and Improvement Fund-Central Zone, which is where Community Park is
located. The purpose of the budget amendment was for the Department to move forward wi th the project, and to have the
Association donate the cost in full after the project was complete.
Staff reached out to Daktronics for the purchase of the scoreboards, and was able to complete the project for $36,358.00. The
installation of the new scoreboards was completed in late winter 2025, just in time for the spring baseball season to start. The
Parks and Recreation Department is now moving forward with the donation process, and recommends City Council to approve
the Wylie Baseball Softball Association for the donation of $36,358.00 to be placed back into the Acquisition and

other information must be published and a public hearing must be held. This year’s No New Revenue Rate is $0.521441 and
the Voter Approval Tax rate is $0.543438. Voter Approval Rate including Unused Increment is $.559554.
The proposed 2025-26 budget is based on a tax rate of $0.543438 per $100 valuation. The proposed rate is the voter approval
tax rate (not including unused increment) and is $0.009137 more than the current rate.
The proposed budget was placed on file with the City Secretary’s office on August 8th. Any changes in the proposed tax rate
will require revision of the proposed budget. The City Council is required to vote on the proposed tax rate tonight and publish
the required information at least five days prior to the public hearing on August 26th. The notice of public hearing will include
how each Council Member voted. The Council may adopt the tax rate at the same meeting as the public hearing. If a tax rate
is not adopted on August 26th, a special called meeting must be held within seven days (September 2) to adopt a rate. [Tax
Code 26.06(e)]

GENERAL INFORMATION: Tax Code Section 26.04(c) requires an officer or employee designated by the governing body to calculate the no-new-revenue (NNR) tax rate and
voter-approval tax rate for the taxing unit. These tax rates are expressed in dollars per $100 of taxable value calculated. The calculation process starts after the chief appraiser
delivers to the taxing unit the certified appraisal roll and the estimated values of properties under protest. The designated officer or employee shall certify that the officer or
employee has accurately calculated the tax rates and used values shown for the certified appraisal roll or certified estimate. The officer or employee submits the rates to the
governing body by Aug. 7 or as soon thereafter as practicable.
School districts do not use this form, but instead use Comptroller Form 50-859 Tax Rate Calculation Worksheet, School District without Chapter 313 Agreements or Comptroller Form
50-884 Tax Rate Calculation Worksheet, School District with Chapter 313 Agreements.
Water districts as defined under Water Code Section 49.001(1) do not use this form, but instead use Comptroller Form 50-858 Water District Voter-Approval Tax Rate Worksheet for
Low Tax Rate and Developing Districts or Comptroller Form 50-860 Developed Water District Voter-Approval Tax Rate Worksheet.
The Comptroller’s office provides this worksheet to assist taxing units in determining tax rates. The information provided in this worksheet is offered as technical assistance and not
legal advice. Taxing units should consult legal counsel for interpretations of law regarding tax rate preparation and adoption.
SECTION 1: No-New-Revenue Tax Rate
The NNR tax rate enables the public to evaluate the relationship between taxes for the prior year and for the current year based on a tax rate that would produce the same amount
of taxes (no new taxes) if applied to the same properties that are taxed in both years. When appraisal values increase, the NNR tax rate should decrease.
The NNR tax rate for a county is the sum of the NNR tax rates calculated for each type of tax the county levies.
While uncommon, it is possible for a taxing unit to provide an exemption for only maintenance and operations taxes. In this case, the taxing unit will need to calculate the NNR tax
rate separately for the maintenance and operations tax and the debt tax, then add the two components together.

SECTION 2: Voter -Approval Tax Rate
The voter-approval tax rate is the highest tax rate that a taxing unit may adopt without holding an election to seek voter approval of the rate. The voter-approval tax rate is split
into two separate rates:
1. Maintenance and Operations (M&O) Tax Rate: The M&O portion is the tax rate that is needed to raise the same amount of taxes that the taxing unit levied in the prior year
plus the applicable percentage allowed by law. This rate accounts for such things as salaries, utilities and day-to-day operations.
2. Debt Rate: The debt rate includes the debt service necessary to pay the taxing unit’s debt payments in the coming year. This rate accounts for principal and interest on bonds
and other debt secured by property tax revenue.
The voter-approval tax rate for a county is the sum of the voter-approval tax rates calculated for each type of tax the county levies. In most cases the voter-approval tax rate
exceeds the no-new-revenue tax rate, but occasionally decreases in a taxing unit’s debt service will cause the NNR tax rate to be higher than the voter-approval tax rate.

SECTION 5: Voter -Approval Tax Rate Adjustment for Unused Increment Rate
The unused increment rate is the rate equal to the sum of the prior 3 years Foregone Revenue Amounts divided by the current taxable value. 39 The Foregone Revenue Amount for each
year is equal to that year’s adopted tax rate subtracted from that year’s voter-approval tax rate adjusted to remove the unused increment rate multiplied by that year’s current total
value. 40
The difference between the adopted tax rate and adjusted voter-approval tax rate is considered zero in the following scenarios:
• a tax year in which a taxing unit affected by a disaster declaration calculates the tax rate under Tax Code Section 26.042; 41
• a tax year in which the municipality is a defunding municipality, as defined by Tax Code Section 26.0501(a); 42 or
• after Jan. 1, 2022, a tax year in which the comptroller determines that the county implemented a budget reduction or reallocation described by Local Government Code
Section 120.002(a) without the required voter approval. 43

SECTION 7: Voter -Approval Tax Rate Adjustment for Emergency Revenue Rate
In the tax year after the end of the disaster calculation time period detailed in Tax Code Section 26.042(a), a taxing unit that calculated its voter-approval tax rate in the manner
provided for a special taxing unit due to a disaster must calculate its emergency revenue rate and reduce its voter-approval tax rate for that year.47
Similarly, if a taxing unit adopted a tax rate that exceeded its voter-approval tax rate, calculated normally, without holding an election to respond to a disaster, as allowed by Tax
Code Section 26.042(d), in the prior year, it must also reduce its voter-approval tax rate for the current tax year. 48
This section will apply to a taxing unit other than a special taxing unit that:
• directed the designated officer or employee to calculate the voter-approval tax rate of the taxing unit in the manner provided for a special taxing unit in the prior year; and
• the current year is the first tax year in which the total taxable value of property taxable by the taxing unit as shown on the appraisal roll for the taxing unit submitted by the
assessor for the taxing unit to the governing body exceeds the total taxable value of property taxable by the taxing unit on January 1 of the tax year in which the disaster
occurred or the disaster occurred four years ago.This section will apply to a taxing unit in a disaster area that adopted a tax rate greater than its voter-approval tax rate
without holding an election in the prior year.
Note: This section does not apply if a taxing unit is continuing to calculate its voter-approval tax rate in the manner provided for a special taxing unit because it is still within the
disaster calculation time period detailed in Tax Code Section 26.042(a) because it has not met the conditions in Tax Code Section 26.042(a)(1) or (2).

AGENDA REPORT

Prepared By: Renae’ Ollie
Subject
Hold a Work Session to discuss ground maintenance assistance with the Wylie Cemetery Association
Recommendation
Discussion and direction
Discussion
The president of the Wylie Cemetery Association (WCA) has asked the city to consider a partnership to assist with ground
maintenance, specifically mowing the two cemeteries.
The Wylie and Kreymer cemeteries consist of four tracts of land totaling approximately 13 acres. The Association currently
contracts the mowing service to a third party. Their contractor mows weekly with an annual cost of $50,000.
Ground maintenance includes mowing, edging, and weed eating around markers.
Staff is seeking direction from Council to consider the following options for ground maintenance:
1. Enter into a partnership with WCA to provide ground maintenance provided by the Parks & Recreation mowing
contractor:
a. The two cemeteries would need to be maintained weekly at 39 cycles a year for the contractor to maintain.
b. This would increase the City’s mowing contract an additional $50k, bringing the overall total to $475k
annually to maintain.
2. City funds the cost of mowing. Mowing duties are handled by the WCA’s current or future contractor.
a. Due to the delicate nature of the proposed maintenance and to alleviate additional work being placed on
current Parks & Recreation Staff, the Association requests to maintain their current mowing contractor and
the responsibility for oversight.
b. Maintenance performed March 1st thru October 31st. Agreement would begin March 1, 2026.
c. WCA would be responsible for any issues that need to be addressed.
3. Staff perform the mowing responsibilities.
a. Proper equipment would be needed to perform the required mowing services.
b. Proper staff training required to perform the required mowing services.
c. Staff would be responsible for any outstanding issues that need to be addressed.
The Yearly Maintenance Service requirements as performed by the WCA and their current contractor is attached as Exhibit
A.
